My agenda, such that it is:
Maybe, I can catch up on my To-Be-Watched pile, but that's for winding down in the evening.
I should focus on getting that done, but there's anxiety and people needing to talk and all kinds of distractions hither and yon.
I need to stop playing with the Endorphin Machine [my phone] and get on with getting on. I know I can.
Let's go.
I have commenced rewriting Book One of A Devil's Tale, but I hope the whole process takes less time than four dingdang years.
Some of it is a little touch-up.
Some of it is a complete rewrite.
Some of it is new material.
My characters need space to be three-dimensional. Especially Kosh's crew. So, as I have been joking with the read-through group - we're going to need a bigger book.
It's still going to be a sextology, because I can't think
Read more »I posted my Weird Writer Wednesday first thing! Hooray. Now I can focus on the next thing to write for next week. I've done my Promptcast thing and sent it off! Huzzah. More free time for the fucking multitude of other side projects I have going on.
Whee fun.
October is looming and my cover art is only halfway done. If I actually make time for it, I can get it done. I just can't be too lazy or it looks like
Read more »Yesterday, Adorable rescued a fledgeling dove from the Magpie Mafia. We think it's a Spotted Dove, but identification is a little difficult. Beloved and Adorable are plotting to take it to the vet's for a patch-up and advice on how to go forward.
Or for a transfer of custody.
Spotted Doves are not pests, they're one of the species that kind of blew in from the island chain to the north. So hopes are good that this little creature can have a

I foresee an absolutely miserable summer for myself, but at least I shall be able
Read more »This week is the last week that my writing is paying the bills. Beloved and the others have that week to figure out finances. There shall be much ado about looking for work amongst the housemates. Or otherwise helping to pay the bills.
We will figure it out and keep the roof over our heads.
There may be a need for austerity for a bit, but we will manage. We have managed before. We can manage again.
Some of that management has

I pln to get that tale done, eat some ice cream, and have time for entertainment. Read: Minecraft or BG3.
I'm still figuring out the new routine, but I will get there. Eventually.
Speaking of, I'd best get there with some fresh free fiction for y'all.

Fed self and felines, had breakfast. Today, after my lovelies get back from whatnot and I finish my breakfast... I am thence off.
When I come back, I am icing my stupid fucking ankle whilst working on my silly darn book cover for the thing I wrote LAST YEAR.
It's a bit procrastinate-y around here. NOT helped by the
Read more »Obviously, there has to be a new regime. A new day for my Patreons. A new schedule for Weird Writer Wednesday. Basically, because I don't have the time schedules I used to.
So.
My pln for Weird Writer Wednesday is to write it ahead of time and press the Publish button on Wednesday.
I'll likely end up doing that on the same day I put the Patreon stuff to post. Which, given that everyone has money on Wednesday [as far as I
Read more »I sincerely hope I can write something for this week's Weird Writer Wednesday. Alas, shenanigans with the Promptcast crew may be intervening. Just as I was about to get my entry edited, a fellow member had a crisis and the crew is helping them sort it out.
I am also among the crew.
Gotta help others so that others may help you.
I shall try nonetheless.
Story happening whenever it can be arranged.

So yesterday, Pip managed to corner Waif in a confined area. The cats currently do not get along, and there was much hissing and yowling. Adorable, in an effort to defuse the incipient fracas, stuck her hand in there.
And now Adorable's at the hospital with cat bite issues. She insists that the cat is not to blame.
I initially planned to take a cab to my appointment this morning and dawdle back home, but Beloved insists

That's tomorrow.
Today, I have to figure out what's happening for the Promptcast. I know one of the crew wants Trey Vector, Galactic Inspector, but I keep thinking of the chapters I needs must rewrite for ADT.
I'll spitball at my friends on that.
And there's the regular daily tale to wrangle. Plus paying the bills
Read more »There's only eight entrants for the Promptcast this week, but it IS also Slump Season, when writers tend to get pre-occupied with Back To School and other shenanigans.
We never really stop... we just slow down a bit.
Story happening when the muse and the time is convenient.
Until then, I play Mod.

On the plus side, I am making good progress on the book cover. Taking that win for what it is.
I did not have the time to play BG3 yesterday. I definitely won't today or tomorrow. Because stream stuff.
Best to get on with getting on with things. Including icing my stupid damn ankle every two firkin
Read more »Editing my Promptcast entry took over a majority of the day and PK had enough interruptions on her side without dealing with me ducking out to see to my stupid fucking ankle.
By next week, I should have a swing on the situation and I'll be able to time things with grace and style.
You may laugh now.
I hope today that I shall have time to play some BG3. But I must be able to finish my story before the evening.
