A 3208-post collection

Tuesday, Patreon and Head Hurty

I woke up at Fuckoff AM with yet another fucking cyclone migraine drilling through my left eye orbit. Rather than suffer until the daylight hours, I took some of the Mondo Painkillers and the pain kept me up for another hour or so.

...and most of a page of A Devil's Tale so there's some win in all of this horseshit.

My priorities shall be the offerings for today, followed by whatever I can stand to do thereafter. Not easily anticipating going behind the curtain today.

I shall probably alternate between bits in A Devil's Tale and playing Minecraft.

All this because I have detected a low pressure system hanging around somewhere.

Blargh.

Couple more hours and I can has more painkillers. See how we do after that.

Monday, ...ow

The cyclone headache of yesterday is still being a pain in my anatomy. Some low pressure system on a radius between me and Rockhampton is being a real beast.

So my PLNs are therefore very quiet and hoping the painkillers kick in THIS time.

If I get to any behind-the-curtain stuff, it will be pure bonus. Obviously, head hurty things make writing a problem.

I can try, but I'm not going to force it.

Let's get going with the good stuff. Creating

Sunday, Twofer and Lazy Day

I am currently tucking into some egg-shaped chocolate, having already polished off a hot cross bun.

At some point, I will be setting forth with my Beloved to go fetch the landbarge back to our residence.

I owe y'all a twofer because I missed yesterday's offering. And fetching the car is kind of dominating my agenda processing skills.

It's that thing where you have an appointment at 3PM and end up doing nothing until it's time to go do the thing.

Yeah.

Good Friday, I Made a Mistake

All through March and April I was thinking, "I really gotta shop for Easter. I really gotta shop for Easter. I REALLY gotta shop for Easter."

The shops were shut this morning.

Firkin WHOOPS.

We managed to wing it anyways. Gonna try to not procrastinate holidays from henceforth.

Not helping is the general inclination to just focus on the stuff that's here and now and less expensive to deal with.

Inertia is my copilot, alas.

I still haven't cleaned the catio or

Thursday, Behind the Curtain

I didn't tag a week, yesterday, but I did get a chapter summarised, so there is that.

I hope to tag a week, summarise a chapter, and at least draw a dungeon floor map before I play PathFinder with my peeps in the Rainbow Chat Group.

Wish me luck.

I also plan to drip sentences or paragraphs into my working chapter as I go.

Chapter Count: Began working on Chapter 262

Fingers crossed that I get to at least halfway through it

Wednesday, Worpress and Date PLNs

I'm still dribbling sentences into Chapter 261 where the happy happy fun times begin.

Turns out writing smut is a skill I need to rekindle after years of letting it atrophy. Once I get back into the -haha- swing of things, I'm sure I'll take off into writing two chapters a day again.

Or near enough to it.

I have little idea of WTF I might be doing tonight. Maybe bath snacks and reading to my lovely. Keep it cheap since we

Tuesday, Doing the Stuff

I'm definitely working on stuff I haven't written before. Scenes I haven't messed with in any other arena. Scary.

So I shall be slowing right down in my chapter production as I go forward. Until I reach other areas in which I am more secure.

Chapter Count: Battling through some steam for Chapter 261

Patreon posts today. Story very soon. Onwards to the rest of it too, I hope.

Let's get some progress on.

Monday, Reads and Writing

The Tale Foundry backup reads are going on as I write this. I have been variously awake since 1AM this morning. So I am not going to do very much behind the curtain for reasons that should be obvious.

Chapter Count: About to commence Chapter 260

My other plns will involve keeping my Beloved company and maybe playing some games.

Let's get on with things.

Saturday, Parkrun

Evidently, I decided to deal with April Fools' by not participating. Just being offline for most of it. I need to be wary tomorrow as it's also April Fools' for then.

Aaaah, internet.

I'm waking up early tomorrow for the Shenanigan Streak:

  • Game Night Morning
  • Tale Foundry
  • Story Stream
  • Toasty Stream (if available)

All of these can keep me at my desk until the afternoon, lag depending.

Daily tale to follow here.

Friday, Firkin Asthma

It's another Bad Air Day made worse by an anxiety attack. Fortunately for me, my Beloved helped me get some Ashwagandha before the rest of my astonishing shenanigans today.

It's after midday and I'm only now just getting down to posting the daily tale.

I'm going to at least try to summarise a chapter and tag a week before I go slobbing off to mess about for my own enjoyment.

Chapter count: Currently working on Chapter 258 of A Devil's Tale

Thursday, Going Forward

I didn't do anything productive, yesterday. I wound up spending most of my waking hours playing Minecraft and watching YouTube.

Fun.

I got a bit of gastro interference in my PLNs to snuggle cuddly with my Beloved, but I should hope I am much better after a long rest.

I shall at least try to accomplish some behind-the-curtain stuff today. According to my capabilities of course.

I am also looking forward to Game Night with Friendo Awesome and the rainbow crew. Fingers

Wednesday, Wordpress and Recovery

Because we were off seeing Hamilton, I was out until the wee small hours of the morning. Because I'm a very tired bean, I am not expecting much out of myself in regards to behind-the-curtains activities.

So I shall complete my daily offerings, and then figure out what I'm capable or willing to do.

It probably won't be much.

It's a feast day, so I have squirreled away a bunch of noodles for a later treat. My love and I are going

Tuesday, Grand Night Out

My Beloved, KIABIL, a whole passel of rainbow-coded people, and my good self are going out to catch a live performance of Hamilton.

Which means I really need to focus on my offerings today or y'all will be left short.

I shall be taking public transit because FUCK trying to find a parking space in Brisbane, these days. But also because public transit, I have a fine opportunity to work on the ever-growing WIP known as A Devil's Tale.

I'm in the

Monday, Tale Foundry Reads

The reads are going on as I write this. Tomorrow, my Patreon peeps get a twofer on the $5 tier. Because there was the prompt we voted for, and then our host sprang a trick prompt on us because April Fool.

I have NO idea what I'm doing on April 1 this year. Probably a pun storm. I dunno.

Most of my internet prank ideas involve too much effort on my part.

Best to not.

I shall focus on the offering, for
