Tuesday, Patreon and Problems

Someone left the Promptcast [as is their right] and took their wordcount with them. I read it as leaving in a huff and throwing a tanty about things they weren't allowed to say or do. Especially some of the things said about Generative AI.

I don't know what their bugbear on that is, and it's ultimately not important.

The issue is that the person who did that has moved over to the Archive. Bad habits and all.

I've warned the Archive's presenter/mod and am keeping an eye out for shenanigans.

I have things to put on my Patreon, a story to write, and a creeping tiredness that just won't go away.

Let's get posting.

Monday, Backup Reads and More Promptcast

There's stories being read out all over the interwebs today. I'm just trying to keep ahead of all of it.

And I'm being spectacularly loquacious as I have been filling in prompts all weekend.

The Promptcast has given me mod powers so I have to pay attention to the chat. That's why today's tale would be later than normal. Well. What passes for normal with me.

In the meantime, I keep treating my dang ankle and working on things whenever I can.

Sunday, Streaming Stuff and Nonsense

As I type, I'm listening to the Archive reading the selected entries for the prompt, Problem Child. In a few more moments, the Promptcast will be reading the anonymous entries from the assembled maniacs including my good self.

The prompt for next week is "Love Bites" so Compte Dragomyr is reappearing in the Archive. He has a type and it's looking like an Operatic Primadonna and thinking like Machiavelli.

I dunno if he's ever going to get a whole story. Time, as

Saturday, Light Duties I Guess

I am taking a day of ease, today. Step one: do the daily tale. Step two: faff around with games. Probably working with the QPP on Hytale.

I've been learning independently on that but not nearly fast enough. Bleh.

Of course I'm still babying my ankle, but the good news is that it is only hurting on one side. Improvement? I don't freaking know.

But I only have to ice one area and I am taking that win.

Onwards to the fantastical.

Friday, Expedition Ahoy

I have money, so I'm going on a supply run to stock up on this, that, and random stuff. As you do.

Because one of my stops is Costco, I'm working here until half-past nine, just to be certain everything's open when I go.

My right wrist has decided to hate me before coffee, so that just makes everything more complicated because wrist brace. Hooray.

And I have to chill my ankle down while the time windows allow.

Today is going to

Wednesday, Rants, Reviews, and Randomness

I think I might have a strategy for when, like this week, I have no idea what I'm going to rant about. I have other fictions with few places to go. They can go to my rantspace with some small explanation to the fore.

When I fall in love with something or get a hair up my butt, then the entertainment is put on pause.

Whenever that happens to happen. We shall see.

And at some point in the day I must

Monday, Backup Reads, Agendas, and Things Undone

I need to check my footnotes in the anthology. And make sure I have the cover done properly. Get the dingdang thing out before February.

The Archive is having its backup reads real soon now. I have a prompt to consider for the Promptcast.

One thing at a time. I shouldn't have too many footnotes to check this year. I'm just procrastinating like fuck about them.

Story whenever the mood sweeps me to get onto that.

Let's get rattling.

Sunday, Streaming and Stuff

The Archive is reading stories, the Promptcast is reading stories. I have to keep an ear out for diverse alarms because I am baking more bread today.

The new cool pack means that I can to ten minutes icing my ankle. Less time on distraction activities, more time for the other things. Theoretically.

I'll see how I go.

The Archive is about to commence. I shall be working on my prompts today, as well as the daily dosage of offerings.

Saturday, Bread, Aches, and Embuggerances

I have issues with my heel today. On the advice of my physio, I'm leaning on a broomstick as an ersatz hiking pole. All so I don't do more damage to my stupid knotted shoulder. So I have Miss Chaos making the next set of dough while I focus on baking the last batch of dough.

One of my prompts ["Problem Child"] has been elected next week's story prompt. I think I might make two tales out of it.

Yay.

My old

Friday, Supplies Expedition

I has moneys, and I need to spend it. Huzzah. We've gone through a whole bunch of supplies and we need other supplies to unfuck a few things.

Meanwhile, the bread has commenced. I'm enlisting the kids to help with the dough schedule.

I'll be taking off on that adventure shortly.

Story shall be happening after I return from my expensive Leyland's tour. Editing of my anthology will happen if I have the spoons after all of that related noise.

I will

Thursday, Physio and Maybe Shopping

We need supplies. We I need to make bread. We need to unclog the kitchen sink drain. I need to check the footnotes of the anthology and line shit up to get that thing out there.

I'll have to give it out for free. Nobody pays for it anyway.

My heel has been a literal pain in the anatomy of late. Even though I've been doing a few things to help strengthen it. My knees, on the other hand, were improving. As

Wednesday, Leyland's Tour Ahoy

So here's the PLN:

  • [X] I write this blog entry
  • [X] I wait for MeMum's email as proof of consciousness
  • [ ] I gear up, fuel up, and get my arse over there
  • [ ] We go on a tour of a lot of places
  • [ ] I do tech support
  • [ ] I get foods
  • [ ] And maybe other stuff
  • [ ] I go home
  • [ ] I make my offerings (if not too blasted by the above)

If I am too frazzled when I get home, there shall be catching up tomorrow.

And

Tuesday, Patreon and Embuggerance

My archive site is chucking a wobbler at the moment. I can catch up on archiving stuff, but it is promising to be a pain in the butt. Hopefully it gets unfucked soon.

I have to check my stuff, but I'm pretty sure there's some to share with my Patrons.

Tomorrow... I may yet be late putting anything up because I'm due to take MeMum out on errands and then do some tech support. Huzzah.

The Promptcast hopes to put the second
