Dear Diary

A 3644-post collection

Wednesday, Wordpress and Cat Food

I really need to hurry along and get the kitters some gooshy foods because (gasp!) we are out of the gooshies.

Horrible circumstance.

There's also dinner and a movie for the date tonight. Just about the only Marvel Hero I want to see on the screen any more besides the good old fuzzy blue Elf. Yeah we're watching the Ant Man movie.

So it's in my best interest to get a rattle on to get the important shopping done straight after I get my output settled.

I've seen a debate online that we should stop referring to our artistic offerings as "content" or "product" I mean, I've been thinking of my daily Instants as a kind of advertising budget. I spend X much time per diem making one sample of my writing to let folks know that I exist as a creator of various fantasies.

Wordpress is also a kind of advertising budget. Here's a glimpse of the inside of my head. Maybe you should take a look before you take me on because this enby nerd is going to, (a) keep doing this shit, and, (b) probably get worse.

The rest of my socials are just... me. I don't see the point of putting on a false face just to be different in person.

I don't know how to refer to my works when I share them online. Advertising feels a little blatant, content apparently lets the body corporate view me as a product. Output sounds about right. It's the stuff I put out there in the hopes of approval and income.

So let's get on with getting it out there.

Monday, Long Monday No More

Thanks to Game Night happening in the early morning, I now have Mondays relatively free!

Huzzah!

For today, my problem is remembering that it's Monday, and not getting a day ahead of myself.

My PLNs today include the Tale Foundry backup reads, dungeon set-dressing, fic tagging, and doing what I can to create more novel.

Beloved's binging chapters at warp speed and it's hard not to feel rushed about it.

I need to go searching for a way to do the dang

Sunday, Game morning & Tale Foundry

Just finished game time with the international maniacs. I'm watching Tale Foundry and about to ponder the prompt.

I also wish to get onto Animal Crossing: New Horizons to do the whole turnip thing. It's a THING. Turnips == profit + stock market joke.

So I'll be warming up the Switch to play whilst I listen to the Foundry.

Story happening live on stream after that. It's going to be fun. The cats wish to be fed hours ago.

Saturday, Parkrun

This time, my defences against Sneezin' and Wheezin Season worked and I did the whole 5K walk. Yay.

I have had a post-perambulatory reward. I have had a nap. I have futzed around on Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

So now I really should get on with other stuff. Starting with the daily tale.

Tomorrow's game session is early in my morning, and there's a higher chance that I will be streaming after Tale Foundry, so keep an eye out on that.

Onwards,

Friday, Continuing PLNs

I have cleaned out the Catio. I have fed my Starters and made The Bikkie. I have also recently consumed The Bikkie.

I have done the Blorbo meme over on Blajaj

So now I'm all set to do more set dressing, fic tagging, and chapter summarising.

I tried to do a new cover with Lunacy, but...

It's a bit on the pathetic side.

Look you:

Thursday, Remedicated and Revitalised

I have my meds [Yay!] and I have learned that they discontinued the best brand so now I have to settle for the next best thing.

So far, so good. It took a while to kick in but I am no longer in agony from the light of my monitor so all is well.

I'm getting on with getting on, today.

  • Tag a week
  • Summarise a chapter
  • Set dress some dungeon
  • Figure out WTF I can do with the stuff I have

Wednesday, Wordpress and Doctor's

I need the superior painkillers because Cyclone Season is upon us. Western Australia got the first one, but Queensland's overdue for the second one.

I'm out of those things I need and the prescription is needed for more.

So I might be a little late with getting the nonsense out in the world today. Stay tuned to my socials.

Meanwhile, I shall be working on the stuff for Tale Foundry. Reviews and kudos to everyone who did something neat.

Maybe you'll find

Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

Posting stuff on Patreon today. Y'all are getting some Tale Foundry at firkin last. It's been a while.

I have one whole new Patron! Yay! One more dollar in the monthly payments that keep my cats in the luxury to which they have become accustomed.

On my agenda today:

  • Patreon posts
  • Instant Fiction
  • Tag a week
  • Summarise a chapter
  • Set dress a dungeon/make some critter icons

I have a massive cyclone migraine right now so I shall focus on my outputs

Long Monday, Soon to Change!

We have a new time slot for Game Night! It's going to be Game Morning. In which the game time slot moves to my 4AM on a Sunday.

I might actually have my weekends back.

Depending on whether or not it's okay to take off on whatever after 8AM.

I might still have to cancel the odd stream now and then.

BUT I also have to rearrange the schedule yet. Might be happening later.

Today, I am going to try and actually

Sunday, Tale Foundry and Game Nite

Tale Foundry is about to stream, I am going to try recreating my usual trick of writing a story before the stream ends.

See how I go, as I have zero ideas for this week's prompt.

I shouldn't force it to be KoshDelia, but I keep thinking KoshDelia thoughts about it.

Meh.

Also at some point today, I should make The Bikkie.

Tonight, I shall do the stream thing and y'all have a chance to catch me writing even more of A

Saturday, Parkrun and Inflammation

I should definitely be keeping my carbs down. I have evidence that I am not doing Keto properly. This time it's in my hands and not my lungs. Some painful knuckles in my right hand are making life difficult for me.

Nevertheless, I persist in writing. I think I'd find a way to write even if I didn't have hands any more.

Perish the thought.

We have a new friendo [gasp! A social life] who is also a writing nerd and she

Friday, Shrink Day and Shopping

I have to focus on getting my output up this morning because I'm out and about in meatspace! Those of you who read the titles of my entries here already know what I'm up to. For those who don't...

I'm seeing my shrink today, and shopping on the way back home. We need cream and I need snackabobs and the fam would love to have pasta sauce.

I'll see what I can get with what I've got.

In Devil's Tale news, I

Thursday, Publishing PLN

I am going to work on the cover art for 2022's Year of Instants. First. After I do the daily tale.

I have stuff getting in the way of other stuff I need to do so wish me luck on that one. I know better than to ask questions with painful answers, so I am just hoping for the best and ready to roll with the worst.

And every time I think about getting the anthology out, I have to fight a

Wednesday, Wordpress and Baby Steps

I'm posting yet another episode of the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale so I can concentrate on doing some of my other output today.

My goals today are:

  1. What I accomplished yesterday [tagged a week]
  2. Something else on my list of TTD

My list of Things To Do:

  • Summarise Beauties and the Beastly
  • Prep dungeon stuff
  • Write more book
  • Make the cover for the firkin Anthology
  • And publish the dang thing

UGH

I almost forgot about the anthology fml.

I will
