Dear Diary

A 3615-post collection

A whole lot of nothing planned

It's the weekend. And it's finally a day where nothing is expected of me. So that's exactly what I have planned.

A little story. A little self-shill. And then a whole bunch of lolling about and catching up with my rest.

And possibly finishing up one of the many epic fanfics I have lying about.

But first... I should really try to focus on my actual work for today. Sooner started. Sooner done. Sooner off and having fun.

I have one more Patron who's selected the dollar level. My first dollar patron! I thought I'd have all dollar patrons for a while.

It's nice to have one at last.

Traineeship Day!

Mayhem is headed off for an entire day of learning and effort. And I woke up at 3AM again. Bleh.

I didn't do the tea or the white noise, but I now have a supply of St John's Wort that helped me get a better quality of rest for the rest I got.

Which is... good.

I have no plans for the weekend. So after I'm done with the story, I shall probably spend large portions of my time where I can

Chedule change, wheeee

Today is a cleaning day. Because something went agley, I have no doubt.

I managed to cook up a very nice soup that got firkin vaccuumed up by the little darlings. And now I must ponder what to do for dinner tonight. That's cheap. And easy.

Because my sleep issues continueth.

I woke up at somewhere near midnight despite having some soothing tea and white noise on. Fitful sleep from there until long about five in the AM.

I am going to

All Hallows Day

Today is the day of little-known saints, random acts of kindness, and if you were out on the streets last night, sugar hangovers.

Miss Chaos had fun, and possibly too much sugar. The leftovers are tucked away for the next Unsuitable Food Friday. And I can only hope that my darling little brats don't sneak too much between then and now.

Today, three more chapters of the novel-in-progress go up on my Patreon and you can sign up to see that happening

Unriddling the SNAFUs

Okay. I've had some errata happening with Steemit. And the queue function. And it seems like I have to have the queue page open so that it will post my blasts from the past.

Math has made it possible for me to deduce that the queue site's twelve noon is my 9PM. So if I want it to post at my twelve noon, I have to schedule stuff for 3AM.

And I'll be starting with the tales that got skipped in the

FUBARs, PLNs and apologies

Something went drastically wrong with Steemit, yesterday. And I can only hope that it's not an ongoing something.

What happened was, whenever I tried to initiate a new post, the form would pop up with my last post. The last thing I had written live on Steemit.

And I was terrified I would be editing that out of existence, so I didn't touch that noise.

The good news is that I found a work-around by scheduling that post with the queued stuff.

SNAFU

These things are sent to try us. They're nasty things. Horrible things. Draining things.

Capt S. had her wallet stolen. Victim blaming would say it was her fault for leaving it out in the open. I say it's the fault of the shitheel bitch that decided to lift it instead of being a stand-up citizen. And more so the fact that womens' clothing has no pockets for wallets, and there are few and inconvenient alternatives.

I want to make up a care

Fucking drama

Timeline of events that happened off of this grid:

  • David "The Spine" Bennett restarted a tumblr blog
  • Said blog got hacked
  • Someone else took it over
  • They're now holding the blog hostage until the band fires Steve Negrette because he once ogled someone's boobs
  • And the same person camping the URL is now filling that blog with homophobic bullshit. Like that's any better

So yeah. That happened. Like I needed something like that happening. I really wanted someone to be a homophobic

Zombie Mode

Good news: Saw Thor: Ragnarok with Beloved.

Bad news: The movie began at eight in the evening.

Worse news: Chaos decided to stay up until I yelled at her to go to sleep. Roughly at 10:30 PM

I need coffee... and we're fresh out. Gotta swing by the only Costco in Queensland and get myself a big-arse box of L'Or caffeine capsules. And I currently have $5 to my good self, so it's raid the bank or collapse.

I hate having

Plns, Stresses, and Distractions

PLN: Go to see Thor: Ragnarok tonight with Beloved.

Stress: Getting back on the agent hunt with low hopes and grim determination

Distractions: The frequently afforementioned gorgeous arsehole of an elf with a tortured past. And writing said tortured past in glorious gut-wrenching detail.

What I also have PLN'd is finishing up the details on the cover for Beauties and the Beastly, a task that will happen this afternoon because the morning sun makes visibility on my iPad Pro supremely difficult. I

Fun Times Ahoy

Today is Mayhem's Discovery Day. He is spending 9-5 at the offices of his Traineeship place in Upper Tullagawoopwoop. And I'm the taxi.

Which means a pretty drastic re-arrangement of my evening schedule, but I can probably deal.

The pain in my butt right now is the fact that I had anxiety over this day to the point where sleep was (a) almost unattainable, (b) erratic, and (c) interrupted by just about anything.

So I need coffee.

LOTS of coffee.

And my

Slippery fingers

My fingers slipped, yesterday morning, and an entire character study fell out and onto the internets. People freaking love it. One hundred and twenty four folks have given it kudos inside of twenty-four hours. That's a little bit less than five folks an hour. Wow.

My fingers slipped again, further on in the day, but Beloved and I were having a Day of Nothing. We basically spent a majority of our waking hours playing Feed the Beast, which is a suite of

Reasons to cry, reasons to cheer

Reason to cry: I tried to start up my compy this morning and... there was a heart-stopping half-hour in which it would not activate.

Reason to cheer: I wrote and finished a TAZ:BA fic and I already made someone want to cry. Go me.

But the good news is that I got my compy going again.

The even better news is that, at a pinch, I was able to scratch up a grand total of $2766.95, including the change in

Hocus pocus

I seriously need to focus. No looking up new material on my problematic fave. No attempting to write more fanfic about that selfsame asshole elf.

I'm writing today's story, and then I'm off to MeMum's for some tech support folderol.

Which is hard for me.

I've already shut down all the tempting windows so that I can keep my mind in the wheelhouse. But I have rapidly-multiplying plotbunnies and they're all so shiny... I want to succumb to that temptation.

But that

I need some bravery... but not yet

Still haven't shifted my arse on seeking new agents. And it's a cleaning day today, so I'm not likely to do it. Saturday has PLNs to go do some tech stuff for MeMum.

The weather's turned horrible, of course. Not raining, but not sunny either. And chilly with it. So my natural inclination is to firkin hibernate. Not good for making cool fic or even staying awake during the day.

The plotbunnies are multiplying.

I'm getting more and more ideas for all
