Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Wednesday, Belated Shopping Trip

I have three locations to visit, this week. I'll be shopping with a calculator to make sure I remain under or at budget.

Not helped by the fact that we need to get a printer in order to complete Miss Chaos' red tape completed. At least I have some savings to take care of that part. Enough to cover it and a bit more.

[Not much of a bit, but a bit nonetheless]

I keep forgetting it's Wednesday and not Monday, which means I can hold off on some purchases until the coming Monday. Yay.

But it's still a Leyland's Tour. A reduced Leyland's Tour, but I am still traveling all over the countryside.

Update:

Forgot to post. Can't yet connect to my own printer because OS issues. And my feet hurt.

Yaaaaaayyyyy....

Challenge #04846-M097: Passing (it) On

Elderly and Kobold don't normally go in the same sentence. But since this village protected their kobold neighbors, and vice / versa, it was not unusual to have one, now, die of old age rather than other circumstances. Some were even being born to other warrens with the memories of tunnels reinforced so they would not collapse again. Before too long, around the world, kobold tunnels collapsing due to lack of proper reinforcement was starting become a rarity rather than commonplace.

Tuesday, Patreon and Plotting

I would very much like to finish up the Promptcast thing for the Patrons today. I have five chapters to read, which can also go up on there today. The issue?

I have to get that shit done.

Procrastination is my copilot.

So my PLN is to do the recordings, finish the Promptcast thing, and get today's offerings both done and up. Probably in that order.

Huzzah.

Very soon.

Challenge #04845-M096: Mineral Health

They found a dragon who made a deal with them. Scrub my scales and you can keep whatever loose scales fall off. The family was shocked at such a boon. Now, four generations later, they had a full service spa for dragons of ALL sizes. Loose scales scrubbed, claws polished and trimmed, wings massaged, oils rubbed in to help with loose skin, the works. Loose scales that fell? Those were kept, polished, and made into jewelry and sold in a gift shop

Monday, Backup Reads and Progress

The Archive will be sharing stories with each other this morning. I have five more chapters to read for Adorable.

...eight more to go on the WIP.

Eep.

I'm not leaving the house until Wednesday and PLN to get a cheap laser printer alongside all the other nonsense we're acquiring that day. We do need to print documents from time to time. And a laser printer promises (so far) to be the least continuing trouble when operating under irregular use. And it

Challenge #04844-M095: All Welcome Inn

They opened an Inn with a restaurant less than a half-mile from the opening to tunnels that lead to underdark cities. The rules were simple. Don't be an arse, everyone was welcome, and if you were too poor to afford food and shelter, no problem, you'll still be fed. The staff consisted of both sunsiders and people from the underdark working together, with the shift changing as the sun set and rose so that the place was always open for those in

Sunday, Chocolate Egg Day

I did the "egg salad" gag where I collected all the fun-sized Easter eggs into a bowl for communal snacking.

Mayhem had some. I had a sampler. Miss Chaos has yet to awaken and scoff. So I'm holding back.

The Archive is streaming as I type and the Promptcast will be streaming today. So most of my time will be absorbed in stream stuff.

I may or may not be working on writing while stuff goes on.

Thanks to holidays, we won't

Challenge #04843-M094: Healer's Helper

Healing halls across the land hear of a miracle wine that allows healers to see broken bones and other internal injuries so they can treat them. While some lands, mainly those of greedy rulers who think such wonders should ONLY be for the nobility, forbid their healing halls to have it, most refuse such orders and beg Wraithvine to help them set up deliveries. This will greatly aid them in their work. Just like the invention of the vermin-repelling bands did.

Saturday, Caught Up?

I got the Promptcast story done. I got the Archive thing done for the prompt Hey, Yo, I'm a [BLANK].

Yay.

I have one more day until I have one more prompt to work with for a thing. Yay.

Given the situations happening all over everywhere, my PLNs remain minimalistic for travel, same with shopping. Keep it sane. Keep it in budget. Hope I can get all the shit together and have money.

Hahaha I am so funny sometimes.

I can hope.

Challenge #04842-M093: Multi-Level Marketing

They were a "sunsider", but they went to the Everdark quite frequently for trade. They were viewed and treated as unwelcome for quite a while, until it became clear they held no prejudice against any cognizant species. They always traded fair, and had no qualms of paying even a higher rate charged due to them being a sunsider. After all, most of these individuals were treated poorly up top, they couldn't blame them for acting such toward those that came from the

Friday, Erastide Looms

As the great Bullwinkle J. Moose once said: This time for sure!

I am going to work on the Archive prompt today.

I have a good idea, I have a decent starting line. I have an immense capacity for self distraction...

And therein lies the rub.

I have PLNs and it's up to me to see them through.

I shall endeavour after I ice my silly sore ankle again.

Challenge #04841-M092: Breakout Event

"Are there any who are not human among the Pax Humanis members?"

They're rare, but there are. Let me tell you about the best hunter I ever met. A havenworlder whose first target had pushed too them far. -- Anon Guest

He had been selected for his bright plumage, and kept in conditions meant to maintain his health. Little else but that. He learned to be clever by playing dumb, just to get his captors to relax and get careless.

It took

Thursday, Continuing the Nonse

I owe my Patrons a couple of things, so I shall get on with posting those before I settle down and get on with today's tale.

Also in my agenda - writing the thing for the Archive. But that has extra time to percolate, so my Patrons are likely to see it after the weekend.

And that's okay.

Sometimes, things take time.

I got a solid start on the next chapter of ADT, and debatably have PLNs to stick in an extended

Challenge #04840-M091: Fey Touched

They sat to think and dream. But dreaming too close to a faerie circle can be dangerous. Fortunately, these beings were kind, and they got the person safe before they went too far into the maze. -- Anon Guest

It can be a terrible thing to have the soul of an artist. Especially if, like Haness, you were born into a woodcutting and herb-gathering family. Ze found hirself hoping for something more than ze had, but not knowing what it was or

Odinsday, Catching Down

It's April 1 and my PLNs to lock in and focus have been blown to smithereens by a completely forgotten appointment to figure out what the heck was going on with the sullage system. Turns out the aerator wasn't and that's going to cost me close to half a grand.

...yaaaaayyyy...

I'll figure out a way to wrangle that.

I don't have very many plns today other than locking in and getting shit done. Which also includes walking Miss Chaos through the
