Today's off to a fantastic beginning. My mentee decided to post after asking for help and not waiting for it. My mum's blacked out and dreading the heatwave. Miss CHAOS cooked up a week's worth of mince in two goes and let it rot, so I have to replace that shit.
...and I have a doctor's appointment today.
In a few minutes, actually.
So if I'm off the radar for the rest of the day, you know I had to go rescue MeMum and then fetch mince.
Story happening... whenever, I guess.
It was nasty, yesterday, and after getting so far, I decided to stay home instead of dropping off Miss Chaos and soldiering on. I have physio today, so that's an excuse to continue the Leyland's Tour and get all the things we need to keep the house going.
It promises to be just as nasty today, alas. But we still need stuff and things.
I've not been feeling the video production of late. Progress is happening slowly, there. I might have something

So that's part of today's agenda.
I have to think up what I'm ranting about today.
I'm reviewing Archive tales before the time comes to launch on the Leyland's tour. Just so I can get my points in to be sure I have a chance to get read.
And I'm keeping track of my words now to see how
Read more »I did my video prep before commencing, and I already did some 1AM writing because I have once again fucked up my sleep schedule.
At least I got a chapter finished. Twenty-six chapters to go.
I got some things to share with my Patrons, yay.
But first, I need to make one more thing to entertain my Patrons with, and that shall be the Podcast prompt. Since I still can't fucking figure out the Archive prompt. There's still time. I will get

I have no idea if there's going to be a read-in today. We have three weeks to work on the prompt in the Archive and I still have no clue what I'm doing with it.
I will either get an idea or not. I can hope that I do.
In the meantime, I have
I am watching the Archive stream, and as soon as the Promptcast one begins, I'll be over there to see how they react to the snippet I managed to get.
I'm evil that way.
I have a video to arrange for tomorrow, the story to write for today, and some very shiny story that I'm basically writing for a friend.
They're throwing art at me. How could I resist?
I shall attempt to focus on the day's tale. And then get on

...and I have shiny, shiny fanfics whimpering for my attention.
We'll see how I go.
Shopping, yesterday, wrecked my ankle but good. I needed the cane and extra ice time just to shamble around and finish the rest of my appointed tasks.
At least we have bread now, and the fam are

Which means I have to wear clothes suitable for public view. I have to go place and get thing. BUT there's a couple of hours before I go do that, so I shall attempt to get the offerings out of the way.
It's going to be expensive, this week. On the other hand, I did wait until payday to go and do this.
Fingers crossed, it holds.
I'd like to be able to save again.
Read more »I'm not good at making time off. Despite my plans to take things easier: I have a video to arrange, reviews to do, and the mandatory offerings.
No pressure.
Only the reviews help my collab partner increase their odds of getting on the stream. The videos increase my odds of people enjoying my stuff and journeying down the rabbit hole about me, and the offerings increase the chances of gaining a vocal fandom.
They're all good things to aim for.
And so

Same old same old.
Remembered the email system with MeMum. Forgor I was driving Mayhem to work this morning.
I'm sure it's stress.
I have the flash fiction to write today, the Archive fic to at least try to concoct, and a rant about something to think up and consequently write.
And I am

I have a collab to work on, the daily tale, the thing for Promptcast, the thing for the Archive, and technically three fanfics in the works.
I will be posting things whenever I can, but ability to can might just be out of my reach. My collab partner and I can get distracted by the drop of a topic.
While we're yatting on down rabbit holes, I shall

The more you know, etc.
The backup reads are about to launch and I needed the machine.
Nonsense as it happens.
Read more »The Archive is going through their tales. The Promptcast will be going forward in a few hours. I'm getting a cyclone headache and the weather outside is threatening my connectivity abilities.
Fingers crossed nothing else interrupts my plans to hang around and do a lot of nothing.
I know the next prompt, but... Figuring out what to do with it is the embuggerance. I'll see what pops into my head.
Meanwhile, I work on the other offerings. Including the arrangement of a

My right wrist doesn't like me this morning and is reminding me that I have been beyond lax in doing my wrist stretchies before I get on with the tikkatakka.
I'll get going with that tomorrow.
Maintaining my meat suit is taking longer and longer.
I shall get on with today's tale shortly.
Read more »I have a video to publish on Peertube, the daily tale, and just maybe a chance to play a game other than Minecraft today. I also have zero excuses to not set up the blood test at firkin last.
Watch me come up with one.
My ankle's being a little tender so I'm treating it gently today. But in all other things, I should get things done.
Let's get going on that.
