Stream Shenanigans

Huzzah! Things have returned to what passes for normal.

Yesterday's story is here if you wish to catch it from here. Honestly, I think the only person who reads my hub site is MeMum. [Hi!]

The Promptcast is reading stories later on today and I am moderating the chat. I also have a story in there. The continuing saga of a Vampire in love and the Healer who has a lot more to deal with than just him.

I think this might be an Ace romance novel. Holding hands. Cuddling. And of course the blood drinking stuff because Vampire.

When I firkin get around to filling it out, of course.

I'm currently working on an additional chapter for ADT. It's going to have 39 more chapters, according to my best math. Jumping from 117 to 156. Fortunately, short chapters.

I might need to think up ways to make the TikTok crowd pick up that thick a book.

But first, I need to finish writing it.

Let's get on with that and today's dose of fiction.

Today is an Unsuitable Food Day. Because there's "Halloween Salad" on offer and I'm battling depression and fuck it, I want treatos.

Results for this past week of food monitoring indicate that I need more protein and less fat. So I shall be looking for cheaper sources of the stuff with a plan for Summer Biotic Protein Smoothies.

BTW "Halloween Salad" is a lot like "Easter Egg Salad" where all of the treats are in a communal bowl and everyone takes what

The Promptcast will be launching in a few short hours, and I shall be moderating the chat.

The PLNs today include the moderating, the daily tale, and whatever nonsense I can cook up for Weird Writer Wednesday.

Pondering my recovery and health is looking like it's going to be a process. Including a change of diet and some form of exercise to build up what I can of my body.

(Slight bit peeved that asking for help received minimal effort from Beloved,

The Promptcast is streaming again today. I shall be spreading the prompts far and wide whilst enticing people to write for the stream. I shall also be posting a story and likely playing Dressmaker for hours on end.

It's the puzzle-solvy aspect. It reels me in.

Story whenever. I'm enjoying the show

The Promptcast only has five entries this week [so far] so it's promising to be a short one. There's a possibility that I can 'clear' another chapter rewrite for the new and improved version of A Devil's Tale.

That's version number three for those keeping track.

Version One: Pure fanfic. Getting closure for a game that just... evaporated because Kosh wanted a happy ending.

Version Two: Five GoogDocs and four years.

Hopefully, version three is the one that makes it to the

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

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.

I'm moderating, so I'm not doing ankle nonsense while that's on. I just have to remember to get back on it once the stream's over.

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

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.

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

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

I have a couple of hours before the Promptcast begins their stream. I did actually get a story in there but if there's a case of spillover, I'll be drawn on Monday. Huzzah.

Honestly, I'm lucky I got anything done for them at all.

Attempting to keep an eye on my email so I don't offend MeMum by missing her email because Mod Duties. I can hope and pray that I catch something before I get distracted.

...and the distractions are so

The Promptcast is reading stories, today. I'm moderating, of course. And probably working on today's tale during the slow bits.

I have my Dutch Oven in the process of seasoning right now. When that's done, I shall feed my starter, make The Bikkie, and set the dough-making process in motion. Wednesday morning, once the Dutch Oven is cool from all the bread making, I shall season it again. It will take a while to get it properly in order, but I have

My lovelies are off with Chaos for Parkrun today. Then they're off once more to unfuck their soon-to-be-ex location in Brizvegas. Leaving Chaos here, of course.

I have storage boxes to sort. Mayhem has the job of selling of usable excess to whomever may be interested in that stuff.

Pretty certain that some's going to go for a dollar a piece. Either way, someone's happy, we have a little extra dosh, and Mayhem is interested in that 10% commission.

Chaos has yet
