Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Wednesday, Wordpress and Small Progress

I decided to work on the Fic Tags today. Something that's gone neglected for the majority of last year. I want to get this app of mine out into the wilderness, and that means making sure every fic is searchable.

My exercise this morning was making certain the earliest fics were tagged. Next time, I proceed from the last place I left off. When I finally get to entire weeks of untagged fics, I will work on a week at a time. Until, of course, every fic is tagged and I can publicise that noise.

I will get there.

Eventually.

Today, my goals are to get my Wordpress published, as well as the everyday offerings I bring to the temple of notes.

The self-accountability thing is working. I'm actually planning my tasks ahead of undergoing my day. No more Dunwannas in that corner of my head at least.

Now if only I could convince the chapters of A Devil's Tale to stop kicking and screaming all the way to completion...

I'll smash that gremlin when I figure out how to catch it.

Challenge #04020-K002: Just Use a Whetstone

It's before humans met their first aliens officially, the ship had engine problems and was forced to land, fortunately safely. Doubly fortunate, not only were the humans very friendly, but very handy and took directions well, especially the kids. Repairs might take a bit, but at least it was a cozy experience! -- Anon Guest

[AN: This would have to happen on one of the Deep-Time colonies]

Good news, their attempts to invite alien life to their new world had worked. Sort

Tuesday, Patreon and the Morbs

The Morbs(n): A feeling of ennui, depression, and generalised gloominess in which the possessor wonders whether there's a point to continuing. In brief, listless, lackluster depression.

I.

Have.

The Morbs.

I just feel like I'm doing so much for so little in the way of rewards. I posted about that on Tumblr this morning. It's so rough getting out of bed on days like this.

I will have better days. Knowing that is the only reason why I fought to get

Challenge #04019-K001: Careful Scrutiny

What looks like an ordinary cat is sitting on the slightly crumpled lip of a garage awning. However, those that can see through the illusion realizes it's a young dragon watching the humans quietly. -- Anon Guest

As far as domestic cats were concerned, this one was a bruiser. Larger than the average housecat, and clearly a shorthair. It was also clearly nestled on a bent portion of roof. Some humorous images could circulate if anyone paid attention to it.

Monday, 2024, Aiming For Progress

Finally saw the Christmas Episode of Doctor Who. More or less It's A Wonderful Life with Goblins in it. Ncuti Gatwa has some wonderful chaos energy to bring to the role. I look forward to the Incel Whining about him not being that great because skin colour.

Suck it up, looser babies. The world has more options, now.

I just finished one anthology. The publication process will commence when I have checked the Footnote Continuity and done the New Cover.

Challenge #04018-J365: Bad Habits and Good Reminders

The former deregger has trouble letting go of, well, anything. While they tolerate the cleaner animals coming in and dealing with organic debris, their quarters are getting SO full of.....stuff... that it's getting hard to move around in there. Hoarding, sadly, is common with those with severe mental trauma. -- Anon Guest

Cleaners were initially a problem. They were genetically programmed to consume debris and break it down into stable compounds. "Debris" in this case, was defined as anything below a

Sunday, New Years' Eve

I'm taking things easy and looking after myself today. Not pushing myself to do anything.

I shall make my offerings, write as the mood suits me, and maybe even attempt to watch the latest episode of Doctor Who, internet willing.

I haven't been able to watch so much as one minute every five, of late. Wish me luck.

I am going to reserve some time every day to work on my pitch kits for each of my books. Half an hour seems

Challenge #04017-J364: Chaos in the Domicile

The parental is injured and their companion friend is trying to get a rambunctious 4 yr old into the bath. -- Anon Guest

"No, no, no, no, NO!" Kindergartener Eyn ran squealing through their domicile, bouncing off of anything and everything, including their Prime Rennie, Quie.

Who was currently flopped on the family couch, on heavy medication, and waiting enough energy to make it all the way to the matrimonial sleep nook. "Ow!" She missed the grab. "Menace... Mama's already had a

Saturday, Parkrun and Weather Woes

The weather outside is frightful, indeed. Miss Chaos and I did parkrun in the middle of Air Soup with a brief speckling of a shower in the midst thereof.

The rain absolutely POURED down on the way back home. Visibility minimal. Prangs a-plenty slowing everyone down to have a good old lookie-loo as they passed.

My power and/or internet my go out at any moment, since the rain is still threatening and the weather warnings are still coming in.

IF I

Challenge #04016-J363: Eldritch Custody

A: So you have three parents? How does that even work?

B: You might want to sit down. Ok my Bio-mom made a deal with a witch for arcane knowledge or something like that, while the witch didn’t know that she already made a deal with a demon to have his Child; which is me, in exchange for eternal youth.

A: How does that even work? Who do you live with? Who'd even have custody?

B: IDK they worked it out,

Friday, Unfucking and Internet Woes

The weather is messing with my internet access, which means that my activities are sincerely curtailed. We had a blackout, last night, and didn't get power until the wee small hours of the morning.

It stepped on my ability to play VTTRPG with the rainbow gang, and because I accidentally unplugged my lappy. I'm sure you can imagine what torture it was to be unable to write anything for hours on end.

The lappy is fully plugged in, now. Charging merrily away.

Challenge #04015-J362: The Bright Side of Severe Injury

They lost their legs in a wreck, honestly didn't remember the wreck, when they awakened in the alien's craft. Oddly, without pain. The first thing the Aliens asked, what did their feet look like so they could replace them? How kind...wait what?? -- Anon Guest

"My feet are badly engineered. Honestly, glad to be rid of them," Human Funz. "Ever heard of bone spurs? Fallen arches? Rheumatism?" He counted these off on his fingers. "I had nasty things happening below the

Thursday, Shopping PLNs

Today's usually a day of rest for me. BUT...

I need to get cat food. I need to pick up a few little things. I need to make sure we have enough.

Enough bread. Enough butter. Enough eggs. Enough cheese. That sort of thing.

I have to wait for Costco to open before I get going on that. And it's going to be hot as balls today. My goal is to get what we need and get back into the AC before

Challenge #04014-J361: Benevolent Reformations

A kingdom's literacy rate is less than 30%. The new rulers want, need, to improve that. Why? A literate, educated, population is a population that can help pull the kingdom out of the rut it's fallen into. -- Anon Guest

Pax Infernus was changing the world. Not just with a peace between realms, nor by banding together against mutual threats. This time, they were changing the world by helping within the allies' infrastructure.

Some joined just for the help that Pax Infernus

Challenge #04013-J360: An Unusual Affliction

Wraithvine, Gikka, and Bibrid disguised as a a small imp enter a kingdom where runners are swiftly going through the cities looking for a strong healer to heal the princess. Unfortunately, the situation is dire as her injuries from the animal attack are infected and getting worse. Sadly, dealing with royals is something that terrifies the immortal healer.
