Saturday, Parkrun, Birthdays, and Continuing Nonsense

I'm still adjusting technology, and getting used to things, so there's no current timetable for my popular flash fiction reads on PeerTube.

The link for that is currently right at the bottom of my links menu. When I learn how to move those around again, it will be above my YouTube link over there.

I am a terrible Parental, in that I completely forgot about Chaos' birthday, yesterday. Made it up with some Steam gift cards, and there's a dinner at Outback Stakehouse tonight. Cheers, Beloved. Trust my wife to help me remember the important things. Love you, babe <3

Anyway. I must get my offerings done in four hours, so I will be pumping up the binaural beats for concentration of creativity and making offerings at warp seven.

Story first, natch. All happening soon.

Challenge #04520-L136: Itinerant Sustenance Salesperson

Food Vans, Pie Carts and the dulcet tones of the ice cream seller. No matter where you are and what species you belong too., the urge for a quick or not so quick meal is universal. -- She Who Knits.

The concept of portable food is as old as gather-hunting. It's the concept of pre-prepared portable food that is, perhaps, one of the keystones of civilisation. The technology may differ, but the idea of someone else doing the cooking has appeal. Appeal

Friday, Bread baking and Catio cleaning

We're doing bread shaping experiments today. I need to sort out the catio, today. One of those is dependant on Mayhem being conscious. The other is waiting on my own impetus.

Inertia is my copilot.

Today, I also plan on learning ANOTHER editing program to make subtitles. May it not also need jiggery-pokery to do text boxes and the other things.

Here's my last method to make subtitles:

  1. Dial up the subtitle part of the Titles menu
  2. Copy in enough text to

Challenge #04519-L135: Sing Your Woes

They thought human companion animals were mostly quiet. Then the new human security officer brought in their pet husky! -- Anon Guest

[AN: I have not met nor do I know any huskies, but I gather they have a highly justified reputation for supreme drama. Or opera, which is pretty much the same thing.]

The first impression of Human Fulk's pet, Bobbie, was Holy Powers, that's a flakking wolf! And there were very many Galactics who made the same conclusion. Thus, Human

Challenge #04518-L134: Heroic Motivation

They're at an Inn in the lands of Whitekeep, but do not sleep. When asked why, the human merely states that sleep scares them to death. Ever since evil pretending to be heroes, stole their brother's life. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Whitekeep's just one region in all of Alfarell. For most of the history, it was a quiet little Earldom that nobody cared about]

Bors was a man of rituals and superstition. If there was a day that he failed to don

Wednesday, Rant Due and Expectations

I started a chapter, yesterday, and I aim to finish it today. Not pushing myself, though. Just adding a sentence or a paragraph as the muse dictates.

I owe my readers a piece about something on my mind. Maybe a help to new writers, or a guide on how to focus with ASD/ADHD. I'm leaning towards the latter. All my little tricks that I've acquired over the many, many years of dealing with my own mental fog.

I'd much prefer to

Challenge #04517-L133: Enlightened Self Interest

They noticed that their vampiric lover had begun to change their diet. Less bread was being offered, fewer potatoes, fewer baked treats. Instead, leaner meats, more vegetables and fresh fruit, more water, and even a change in the tea.

When confronted, the vampire looked into their eyes with immense worry and said softly, "Your blood is getting far too sweet." -- Anon Guest

[AN: Calling back to https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04494-l110-agreement-on-amends ]

Love is a strange beast and takes many shapes.

Tuesday, Patreon and Other Shenanigans

So the video editor is ludicrously easy to use. Hooray. So now I'm recording myself reading archive stories. One per day seems to be a decent limit. I'm still working out how to do subtitles without crashing the dingdang thing. Messing about in PeerTube first may make me look more professional in YouTube. When I have enough of a swing in motion to post daily.

I will be digging up my published novels for the long form reads. Eventually. I have LOADS

Challenge #04516-L132: Unknown Peace

While almost the entire world knew who Wraithvine was, ze was unknown in this village. It was a peaceful, quiet, place, mostly. Though they had their issues like everywhere else. But unlike most of the world? Here? The name Wraithvine was entirely unknown. -- Anon Guest

[AN: This prompt has been corrected from having erroneous pronouns]

A wandering Wizard walks the road less traveled. It's the way ze finds the most interesting situations. The places where ze may be needed the most

Monday, Writer's Group and Video Plotting

My lovelies have now created a PeerTube instance. The moment I can make something and post it on there, it's joining my link hoard in the menu. There's a few technical hitches...

  1. I can't log in to the instance
  2. I currently lack a video editor
  3. I haven't made any videos.

Just a slight snag. I will be working on that as time goes by.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

I anticipate some hours of gassbagging with my fellow writers, before I move

Challenge #04515-L131: A Taste of Home

Just like Mother used to make. A childhood treat, comfort food. There are thing that bring back memories from 'Granny's apple cake to 'Stretch the budget stew, where the vegetable crisper gets cleared out 3 days before pay day. -- She Who Knits

Far from civilisation as they knew it, far from the places they called home, scrounging together a meal out of whatever they had, the Adventurers were homesick. Huddled around the campfire, watching their meagre scrapings becoming part of their

Challenge #04514-L130: Craft Chaos Chamber

The one thing about being a space trucker is you took on projects to pass the time from place to place. Heh, but I seem to have taken on too many at once. You've ridden with me quite a while, and while I don't mind being a free taxi, you think you can help me finish some? -- Anon Guest

Sanity Projects exist to help an idle mind and idle hands stay out of trouble. The description is right there on the

Saturday, Parkrun and PLNs

I did token sorting this week, so I'm testing myself next week by walking as far as I can before my heel starts to hate me.

We'll see how well that goes. Next week.

This week, I'm not running D&D so that I have time for Mother's Day stuff. She's getting more stash, some play time with my chainsaw, and a lift to acquire more stuff and things.

Meanwhile, an experiment in the Writer's Group has resulted in one of
