real life

I spent two hours prawning over my laptop and writing fanfic in the wee small hours, and for some reason my back hurts. Correlation is not causation. I need more data on this.

I have no idea how to log in to my KDP account and withdraw Free Baby so that's a pain in the arse for me.

I'll unriddle this in the fullness of time.

There has to be a way to find the account associated with the publication. Or figure it out by trial and error.

Frikkin AI bubble. I wish it would pop already.

Once upon a time, there were ways to get Noticed(tm) and now they're all eroding. Bleh.

I do the story. I make the roughest possible query letter. I try doing the meme on the Fediverse. I piss and moan about my back and go to bed. That's the PLN.

Let's get going.

The year is grinding to a close and I still don't know what I'm doing with myself. Everything is, as always, sideways. But at least I'm having fun with the fic/drawing exchange with Mr. Crowbar.

Come January, I enter another year of attempting to finish off ADT. Maybe this will be the one that does it.

The count of remaining chapters dwindles ever downwards. Unless catastrophe, I should be able to get it down and thereby start to get it out.

I'm hanging out with my Archive friends and when they have to go, I shall go annoy my Promptcast friends.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, I'm coming up with a story for today.

TOMORROW, I have to go shopping, so I must extend an invitation to the spawn to go spend their JB HiFi cards.

But today, I can last a bit of a while, so I will get on with today's offerings and trundle off later.

AND there's

Beloved has an artisinal, bespoke phone case for my new phone. She designed and printed it herself. My next challenge is figuring out how to use it in navigation mode because - owing to a misunderstanding - new phone is big and case will make it bigger.

I did politely request a new phone stand for my car. The current jiggery-pokery may not hold. Which promises to be a can of arseholes for yours truly.

I'll find a way to cope. Somehow.

Alongside braving up to make a query letter for B'Nar I know darn well that the fam needs stuff and things.

And here I was hoping to have moneys to spare for once.

Sigh.

I have to wait for the right time so that my flight path is efficient so... in the time I have to spare, I am doing the things for the day.

I'm not brave yet, but I am working on it.
