Friday, Unfuckening++

So. Friendo Awesome broke a tooth, and that needs some care and attention. She will be far from home when the attention is done, so we're loaning the spare bedroom to her until the morrow. It might make Parkrun interesting, but it's making today interesting because... scrattle all over the house.

I have to unscrattle the house today.

After I finish this portion of my output, I'll begin the shenanigans for The Bikkie and get on with doing the daily tale.

A bag of rubbish, a dishwash, and then some tagging and summary. A bag of rubbish, a dishwash, and then some dungeon dressing. A bag of rubbish, a dishwash... and hope for the very best because I will be done by then.

I need the luck today.

Thursday, Progress Again

We had a wonderful day, disconnected from most of the interwebs but not technology. I needed a nap in the middle of it. We didn't get around to buying any bling, which might be a good thing.

Chapter count: Currently working on chapter 234.

Six more chapters and I'll be starting a new GoogDoc on the thing.

I can only HOPE it's going to stop at a trilogy at this point. The story ends when it wants to end, and I am

Wednesday, Anniversary Celebrations

My love and I are getting our hair done. That is all that's cemented in our PLNs for the day. Nevertheless, I am prepared to be spending most of the day doing it.

So I shall probably be AFK for most of my conscious hours. So my agenda today is:

  1. Do the meme thing in the Fediverse
  2. Post the Wordpress episode
  3. If time, work on my daily tale

If not, you get a twofer tomorrow. I'm not just bringing my laptop, but

Tuesday, Patreon & Output

I have a diet Sarsaparilla waiting for when I have done all my Stuff(tm).

The Stuff(tm):

  • Patreon posts
  • Tag a week
  • Summarise a chapter
  • Dungeon Dressing
  • The Mandatory Story

Chapter count! I am currently working on Chapter 232 of A Devil's Tale. It might be done by this afternoon. Woo.

I'll post the Patreon stuff before I get on with the daily tale. Stay tuned.

Monday, Mor Progress

I'm working on Map 16 with some genuine ideas of what the hell I'm doing. My aim is to get a chapter summarised, a week tagged, and some jiggery-pokery done for the dungeon.

I also would dearly love to get another chapter done. Keep ahead of the curve.

We get paid tomorrow. Huzzah. Which means we can breathe a little bit easier until next paycheque.

Tale Foundry's doing the backup readings right now, so my story will be happening whenever I can

Sunday, Moving Forward

I am pretty sure I didn't make The Bikkie on Friday. I'll have to get on with that today.

I have finally managed to create Map 15 for the continuing adventure, and I've made significant progress for the first half of Map 16. Which is two maps instead of just one. I had to do some jiggery-pokery just to get it to the right scale.

Fingers crossed that I don't gain any more ulcers about it.

Saturday, Parkrun and Further PLNs

I just woke up and I'm ready to write!

I kid, I kid.

Of course, I woke up much earlier. Four thirty in the morning to walk in a park with friendos, then brunch.

We did a spot of shopping and now I have all the essentials necessary so that I can have coffee for the month.

Just the important stuff.

Next week, we're all off to the beach on Sunday, so don't expect a lot out of me then.

Onwards to

Friday, continuing efforts

I have to clean the catio this afternoon. It's already too warm for me. In the meantime, I am making progress with Map 15 and may yet finish it without experiencing a crash. Fingers crossed.

There's some steps I'm leaving for last on purpose.

On my continuing agenda is getting another week tagged and another chapter summarised as well as the map shenanigans.

I'm getting there. One little baby step at a time.

Wednesday, Wordpress and Output

I didn't get much of the output done, yesterday. Mostly because I was dealing with a scammer. That kind of thing fries my brain out.

At least I wasn't phished in.

This week's Wordpress will be more of Kosh's fanficcy shenanigans, and I can tell you that there are VAST differences between the fanfic and the novel(s).

I suspect there will be fans going down that rabbit hole in depth when it's published. [gotta believe it WILL be published] That's going

Tuesday, Patreon and a Rough Night

Beloved came home in the wee small hours, and I had some aggressively intermittent sleep until like 7AM. By then, the heat was already into the day and I couldn't therefore get the catio cleaned up early.

Blargh.

Fingers crossed, this afternoon will be cool enough to allow me to do that.

If not, tomorrow morning will be the next bet.

Onwards to the Patreon posting and the story of the day.

Let's do this.

Sunday, Tale Foundry and Streaming Nonsense

I've already done the Game Stream, and I'm watching Tale Foundry. I can't do my usual stunt of writing the next story in advance. Because the leads on the vote are tied.

So I shall spend the intervening minutes working on another chapter of A Devil's Tale because I need to have those to keep my Beloved happy. Well. I also want to have those. Because this whole book is fun.

For the second time, DungeonDraft crashed as I was trying to

Friday, On Point for a Change

I have cleaned the catio before I sat down to write. I am keeping my temptation to play Dyson Sphere Program at bay until I have at least done the mandatory output.

Last time I tried fixing a map, the app crashed. I try again today.

I also aim to feed my starters, summarise a chapter, and tag a week of fic.

There will be Bikkie.

Tomorrow promises to be interesting, as the morning is full of Parkrun and the evening is

Thursday, Redlining it

Beloved binged chapters right up to The Kiss(tm). Which means that there's VERY FEW chapters between where she's up to and where I'm writing.

So I really should hustle some more chapters.

BUT I also have to fix a dungeon map, tag a week for the app, summarise a chapter for the pitmad. And find a moment for myself to chill and enjoy stuff.

I'm feeling a little pressed right now.

But I know Beloved understands me and will ease off
