I have already been awake for four hours, now. Technically five. As soon as I stream, it shall be six.
So it's no surprise that my plans immediately following stream this morning include going to bed and catching some sleeps.
If any other output happens today, it is bonus material. And I owe two more chapters to the files for my beta readers because I will be working on chapter 169 sometime real soon now.
Best to get rattling because the stream is happening in a few minutes.

Life is long, and full of struggles. There are many mountains to climb in the span of a lifetime, and I shall do many great deeds. This, I know in my heart of hearts. You may call me prideful, but I name myself 'motivated'.
You, who scoff and sneer at me. You, who judge me by my size. You, who

To put it in the most interesting way possible: I started my day at one in the morning by googling "feeling like a ghost is taking my pulse on the left of my neck" since three other searches could not find anything unrelated to a heart

Some Humans give everything for their assigned crew. It's their pack-bonding. They can't not save others despite the risk to their own lives. Human Dyoth judged their life worth the sacrifice.
Their "Fuzzies" didn't agree with them.
Dyoth had attempted to make a safe descent and passed out in the

Yeah apparently I do.
We took KIABIL for the Parkrun and he did the whole 5K straight out of the box! Holy shit. Thereafter, we went to a Nerd Bar called Netherworld.
Yes, there are Nerd Bars. Yes, they have a lot of games and that includes game machines. They also have an overall atmosphere of inclusivity that makes the whole place pleasant to be in.

It's a nice place. But it also sucked

Take my fortune, for I have so many centuries, and hand out to each person in need one decade each, until the fortune is fully distributed."

What does one do with a massive fortune? Centuries of Time, and now the earner of such had declared it a charity fund. For anyone in need. For everyone in need.

Speaking of trying, I have two hundred pages of anthology to edit, so that's most of the rest of my day. Then I can work on finishing the next chapter

“Ah I see, it’s hereditary” -- Anon Guest
Duke Garibald Tansie would never admit out loud that he was slightly ashamed of his King. There were several good reasons, starting with the fact that Kormwind Arachis Felbourne Whitekeep, ninth of the name, was devilborn. A Hellkin.
There was also the matter of his upbringing. Sent to the other side of the world to learn martial arts

3-7AM: Lounge around with Beloved, maybe read and maybe edit something.
8AM(ish): Getting ready for the day

11AM: Back to my bullshit. Stream set-up.

1PM-4PM: The rest of my bullshit
4PM-on: Relax time!
The last two depend on the ability of my back to put up with me doing stuff.

So my PLN now is to do a bit of shopping with my time. I need to get vegemite and cat food.
After I get back and stream, I think I'll focus my energies on footnote checking and at least one chapter summary.
Once the anthology is fully edited, I can get it out on the interwebs for your reading pleasure.
