I'm rewriting a chapter this morning. And if the Promptcast is doing Booked For Friday, then moderating that. It's already 27 Celcius in the Nerd Cave [82 in Freedom Units] so I am most likely to flake the fuck out until the day cools off again.
I did finish another chapter so as soon as I am capable, I shall update my Patreon and write my tale.
The weather here hurts.
An adult kobold in the later half of their life. They met Wraithvine, Bibrid, and the children. "I recognize you. My previous life before this. I was a baby and I rescued your hat.

I skipped out on editing ADT yesterday, but I am submitting a potential excerpt for ADT and I was editing that yesterday, so I am counting that for my non-NaNoWriMo.
...which reminds me, I need to get rattling on the work on a closer chapter than the one I submitted for the

They told Rinu that ze had a delicate constitution. In the wrong weather, or when encountering the wrong substances, air was a struggle to obtain. Hir life diminished to tents of steam, foul-smelling concoctions, and nasty medicine. Followed closely by equal foulness coming out of hir in the midst of unstoppable, wracking coughs.

I am, naturally, trying my very best.

I have finished listening to Neil Newbon reading glorified fanfic the Astarion book endorsed by WotC. As far as fanfic goes - could have used a fact checker and some beta'ing. The author forgot Astarion doesn't have a heartbeat more than once. And may have fluffed the lore/continuity of canon events.
It's fanfic. R. Kingfisher could have painted Astarion purple if they wanted

So I am up and determined to get the writing done as soon as possible before the heat smacks me in the guts. The weather promises to be milder today, but nocturnalism is gaining appeal as summer looms.
