Thursday, Promptcast Sorted

Got the dang Promptcast thing edited, pronounciation guided, formatted, saved, and sent. Huzzah. I shall be working on the day's tale soonish.

There are quirks when transferring from Ellipsus to LibreOffice, but I'm learning them. Bullshit like italicised text being a different colour. I can live. It's a pain in the arse, but it's better than being scraped by Google.

I set up to ice my ankle every two hours, but editing took over my time and I'm in danger of forgetting it entirely today.

I'll see what I can do about writing my story in less than an hour, and get right onto that schedule. I'll also see what I can do about enlisting my lovelies to get onto my arse about staying on the schedule. I may also enlist my peeps in the Promptcast.

...I need people to look after me -_-

Onwards to the expected nonsense.

Wednesday, Shaping PLNs

I did not wind up doing anything for Patreon this week. It's not looking great for Weird Writer Wednesday either. I can certainly try. But I also have Physio today and a bit for the Promptcast that needs a good going-over by two people.

I've caught one of them. Let's see how well I do with the other one.

And I have to figure out some kind of schedule so our economies and time windows intermesh.

After Physio.

I have a handful

Tuesday, Shopping Expedition

I have half an hour before my self-assigned take-off time, and Adorable's Mum is coming with. Fun times ahead.

I'll have to make sure that everyone's updated when I finish up here.

Story happening when I get over the expedition. Who knows? I might also be able to resume posting my Patreon stuff.

Huzzah?

I am going to return to my expected output. Monitoring myself for burnout warning signs along the way, of course.

Best to go at least give the news.

Monday, Backup Reads, Promptcast and So On

The Archive only had one story for the backups. It is Slow Season, so it might not be a sign of dire warnings. I hope.

I wrote half my Promptcast thing yesterday. I aim to finish it up and get eyes on it today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can actually do that.

Meanwhile, I have a story to work on, comics to sort through and catalogue, and eventually books to redistribute into alternate areas than Draft2Digital. Plus a cover to draw.

Sunday, Mor Stream, Mor Shenanigan

The Promptcast is reading stories, starting today. Maybe going on to tomorrow.

I've also fucked up my sleep cycle somehow and have been awake since 10PM. It's now almost 3AM.

So I'm going to just buckle down and try to write today's tale before the Promptcast launches. I might be asleep shortly after. Time, again, will tell.

Who knows? I may yet find a way to reset my internal alarm clock.

Onwards to the fiction.

Saturday, Stream Stuff and Idle Days

Going to make sure I have money for next week, check how capable I am at having money the week after that... and tune in to the Promptcast's interview thing today.

One flash fiction and maybe some game time. It depends on how quickly I get the work done. I'm hoping to have some hours to make progress on BG3.

Hope is a wonderful gift, sometimes.

Time, as always, will tell.

I can do this. I used to be able to do

Friday, Angry at Corporate

There's a new 'feature' on Patreon, allegedly for safety. They need my legal name. They need it:

a) to avoid payout delays
b) to keep the community safe
c) to earn on the platform

They give all three of these as an excuse in the popup on Patreon. Fortunately, their security is pretty up there. I am still less than inclined to immediately trust the corporations.

They all piss me off.

I'm still keeping my government name as much out of the

Thursday, No PLNs

I might actually have nothing planned for today. Which means that I shall take what means I need to remedy my ailments [soup for the pre-lurgi scratch, rice for the intestinal issues] as well as taking my time with my daily tale.

But if I try to hurry it along, I have more time for de-stressing activities.

I'm up to coffee and pills, and it's half-past nine.

I think I might need some luck.

Wednesday, Shopping Again

I have fed the cats, my starter, and myself. Yay. Currently filling in the time until ten by going through my nonsense in order.

My lovelies are offski getting laundry sorted for the meanwhile. At some point in the future, there will be Wardrobe Filtering.

I have NO idea what we're doing for the looming Crimbus season. Hell, I've barely done anything for the short story cover.

Disorganised today, datorganised tomorrow.

The PLN, such as it is:

  • Attempt to write the daily

Monday, Last Moving Day

Beloved is shuttling things up in the TARDIS car while Adorable packs, shifts, and chucks relevant objects. So I am pretty much stuck where I am for the day.

On the plus side, I did finally get to make an attempt at Centaur Porridge. Without cloves, because my cloves got chucked.

When I go shopping (likely tomorrow) I shall pick up some cloves, as well as apples, to try perfecting the recipe. Maybe. I made way too much this time and I

Sunday, Mor Stream Stuff

Today, wheel of randomness willing, shall be the premiere of the fifth fucking WIP they're responsible for. Hope you tune in.

I shall be allegedly focussing on the daily tale and the stream moderation.

As for my lovelies, I do believe they are off in Brizvegas scooping up the last of the remaining nonsense over there. I hope it all gets sorted in time.

It's Beloved's Outaversary and once again, I can't get her anything special because all my energy is focussed

Saturday, Stream Shenanigans and Cough Cures

I have junk in my lungs that is not shifting easily, but is making my daily life a pain in the bum. I have things that will help shift it, including going completely off the Keto for a spell. It seems to be working so far.

My lovelies are off in Brizvegas finishing up the unfuckening of the old base of operations. As I understand things, this Monday is the last day.

I have misunderstood things before.

I should learn not to

Friday, Bad Air Day

We lost at Trivia Night. Whoops. Next week, we're calling ourselves the Bad Ass Losers. Might as well lean into it.

I'm dealing with some asthma shenanigans and a Cyclone Headache. I have no idea on what my lovelies are doing besides cleaning up their old base in Brizvegas, and I might be spending a majority of today horizontal in a dark room because MY FACE HURTS.

Yes, I have taken painkillers. I am waiting for them to kick in.

Onwards to

Thursday, Trivia Night

My lovelies are offski in Brizvegas, sledgehammering stuff and chucking it in the skip. There is no news on the appearance of the foretold van, but I am nevertheless on starter blocks about that if need so be.

I spent practically all of yesterday working on the Promptcast thing. There are now FIVE fucking WIPs directly related to the Promptcast's shenanigans.

Powers know when any of them are going to be firkin done, but they will reach that point eventually. Or a
