I got the Patreon stuff posted! I wrote a thing for Weird Writer Wednesday! And that's why I'm writing this [and my subsequent story] in the afternoon.
I pln to get that tale done, eat some ice cream, and have time for entertainment. Read: Minecraft or BG3.
I'm still figuring out the new routine, but I will get there. Eventually.
Speaking of, I'd best get there with some fresh free fiction for y'all.
They had wooden knives with red dye, and were very stealthy on their feet. They came silently at the hellkin, but not to kill. This was merely a test of skill. -- BKF
Of all the truths known to the Martialist community, one is whispered amongst students: Only a Master can beat a Master.
It had rustled its way through the student accommodations in Hidden Cloud on the day that a seventeen-year-old Hellkin had defeated Master Bai in a duel. For weeks,

Fed self and felines, had breakfast. Today, after my lovelies get back from whatnot and I finish my breakfast... I am thence off.
When I come back, I am icing my stupid fucking ankle whilst working on my silly darn book cover for the thing I wrote LAST YEAR.
It's a bit procrastinate-y around here. NOT helped by the

[AN: Farming doesn't have to be a tourist activity, no matter how advanced the civilisation]
It's not that cattle farming is extinct. It's just that tube-grown meat is cheaper and more economical in space stations and long-haul vessels. Since most of Alliance interactions occur in those environments, it's simple to presume that cattle farming is a bygone art.

So.
My pln for Weird Writer Wednesday is to write it ahead of time and press the Publish button on Wednesday.
I'll likely end up doing that on the same day I put the Patreon stuff to post. Which, given that everyone has money on Wednesday [as far as I

The pursuit of ethical food sources has to stop somewhere. There is a line that should not be crossed, no matter what. Unfortunately, Humans do not like lines, drawn in sand or otherwise. A barrier that must not be crossed is a challenge to their egos, or something of the sort.
So, when Humanity was told that there was no purely ethical nourishment, they established

I am also among the crew.
Gotta help others so that others may help you.
I shall try nonetheless.
Story happening whenever it can be arranged.

"But you fight Her constantly."/ No I don't.
"I don't understand."/ I do what I can to save my patients, alleviate pain, treat illness and injury. But when She comes, and there is no way back, I can at least give them comfort in knowing they do not journey to the next world alone. -- BKF

So yesterday, Pip managed to corner Waif in a confined area. The cats currently do not get along, and there was much hissing and yowling. Adorable, in an effort to defuse the incipient fracas, stuck her hand in there.
And now Adorable's at the hospital with cat bite issues. She insists that the cat is not to blame.
I initially planned to take a cab to my appointment this morning and dawdle back home, but Beloved insists

Much has been done to improve education within the Alliance. Reduction of class sizes, multiple teaching methods, the reduction of varying crisis factors. Nevertheless, exam time ends up putting many students into a mental spiral where their best effort could be better, and doing it

That's tomorrow.
Today, I have to figure out what's happening for the Promptcast. I know one of the crew wants Trey Vector, Galactic Inspector, but I keep thinking of the chapters I needs must rewrite for ADT.
I'll spitball at my friends on that.
And there's the regular daily tale to wrangle. Plus paying the bills

"How old is ze anyway?" asked Lynn. "I tried searching, but nobody has an accurate number."
"I think there's a few one-way wormholes involved and temporal confusion[1] in there somewhere." Jem laid out all her research on her datareader. There was a lot of conflicting information. "We could ask, but... That would spoil the surprise."
"We couldn't get the small fire permit anyway," sighed Keit as he

Until then, I play Mod.

Temporal magic can do a lot of things. It can help with so much in the everyday adventures of life. What it can't do is prevent illnesses. Scramble could be forewarned, and therefore fore-armed of events in hir immediate future. Ze could dodge any material missile thrown hir way, or catch it if it was food.
Nobody had thrown something at Scramble for months, but ze caught a cold nevertheless.
The best remedy, no matter

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.
