Pain Hurts

A 146-post collection

Thursday, Attempt at Rest

I'm not good at making time off. Despite my plans to take things easier: I have a video to arrange, reviews to do, and the mandatory offerings.

No pressure.

Only the reviews help my collab partner increase their odds of getting on the stream. The videos increase my odds of people enjoying my stuff and journeying down the rabbit hole about me, and the offerings increase the chances of gaining a vocal fandom.

They're all good things to aim for.

And so is the bread I'm making because the ravening hordes have demolished the supply.

Battling burnout while doing all of that is... going to be interesting to say the least of it.

Tally ho...

Wednesday, Rants and Overreach

I'm getting things done by slow degrees. I'm trying to remain focussed on the things that need doing, but getting distracted by the things I'm having fun doing.

Same old same old.

Remembered the email system with MeMum. Forgor I was driving Mayhem to work this morning.

I'm sure it's stress.

I have the flash fiction to write today, the Archive fic to at least try to concoct, and a rant about something to think up and consequently write.

And I am

Tuesday, Patreon, Birthday, and PLN'ing Skills

It's my Beloved's birthday today. We have a dinner planned to celebrate the day.

I have a collab to work on, the daily tale, the thing for Promptcast, the thing for the Archive, and technically three fanfics in the works.

I will be posting things whenever I can, but ability to can might just be out of my reach. My collab partner and I can get distracted by the drop of a topic.

While we're yatting on down rabbit holes, I shall

Sunday, Writing Group Stuff and Nonsense

The Archive is going through their tales. The Promptcast will be going forward in a few hours. I'm getting a cyclone headache and the weather outside is threatening my connectivity abilities.

Fingers crossed nothing else interrupts my plans to hang around and do a lot of nothing.

I know the next prompt, but... Figuring out what to do with it is the embuggerance. I'll see what pops into my head.

Meanwhile, I work on the other offerings. Including the arrangement of a

Saturday, Aches and Pains

The ankle is getting stronger. And grumbling all the way. I'm still babying the dang thing because I can sense it wanting to rebel.

My right wrist doesn't like me this morning and is reminding me that I have been beyond lax in doing my wrist stretchies before I get on with the tikkatakka.

I'll get going with that tomorrow.

Maintaining my meat suit is taking longer and longer.

I shall get on with today's tale shortly.

Friday, Maybe a Relax?

I have a video to publish on Peertube, the daily tale, and just maybe a chance to play a game other than Minecraft today. I also have zero excuses to not set up the blood test at firkin last.

Watch me come up with one.

My ankle's being a little tender so I'm treating it gently today. But in all other things, I should get things done.

Let's get going on that.

Thursday, Physio and Parcel Post

I got physio this morning, and I have some packages to pick up at AusPost. Fingers crossed, they're still there.

I must keep my AusPost app active or I'll never get notifications -_-

I'm recording a tale and arranging a video today, as well as conglomerating today's offerings. I may or may not be able to arrange things for other works. But I am close to finishing a chapter of ADT so I'm taking that win.

What other wins there may

Wednesday, Shopping and Rant Due

We. Need. Stuff.

I also need to write a rant, write a story, and work on other stories. With or without consultation involving a fellow writer.

My ankle objected to taking Mayhem out to work so I need to put on the brace before I take off on the usual Leyland's Tour. At least the list is short and the economic load is light this time. Huzzah.

Stuff coming out whenever I manage to get it done, of course.

I shall ice

Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

I owe things to my Patrons today. I have a story to write, but I have finished half a chapter of ADT this morning.

Combo of a productive 1AM and this morning's ice session. Huzzah.

May today be just as productive.

I also have a story to read so that tomorrow's video will be prepped and ready to launch. Fingers crossed, I stay that much on top of things.

Monday, Backup Reads

The Archive's about to start reading to each other. I've somehow managed to get the video out this morning, and I hope to go nowhere and do nothing, today.

I want to go nowhere and do nothing.

My plans for the same yesterday were dashed by MeMum's compy having a cookie overload. And complicated by confusion with the instructions. So I had to haul my bum out there and sort things out.

I finally have a solution to Mum misplacing her tech

Sunday, Writer's Group Stuff and Things

The Archive is reading things. The Promptcast is about to read things. My things are not happening on the Archive's twitchcast, but will be happening on the Promptcast's stream.

So I'm keeping an eye on things and trying not to get distracted.

Not going great so far.

OTOH, I have written the thing for next week. Still operating on the questions to ask my future audience.

Offerings whenever I can focus on them.

Update

Had to do an emergency tech run for

Thursday, "Free" Day and Pay

We get income today. Huzzah. A weight off my shoulders, at least until I need to go shopping again.

Life's getting expensive.

I'm recording and arranging the next video, today. Possibly fiddling with a co-op project. And of course reviewing some fellow writers' microfictions so that I'm eligible to be read on stream.

And treating my ankle.

I want to play some games today. And tomorrow. I'll see what the assorted distractions allow me to do.

Onwards to the imaginings.

Friday, Increasing Shenanigans

I just finished writing chapter 570 of A Devil's Tale, so that means five more chapters to record for Adorable. Or maybe the eventual professional voice recording person. Whoever that may be.

I have a video to share, a story to write, some memetic nonse to indulge in... and I might even pull the finger out and arrange for the blood test that's been pending for like... a month.

Procrastination is strong when you don't want the local vampires sticking you with
