Once again, stuck at home with the ankle. My main goal is to get the daily tale done so I can have extra hours in the ball pit to play with things.
Including the fanfics in progress.
Which is not going great for me because I am zoning out all over the place.
Wish me luck. I'm locking in.
Well I got input on the story I was aiming to have out for All Hallows' Read, and... it should stay in the drawer. Nobody else is seeing it.
End of discussion.
I'll talk with my lovelies about the premise, and if that gets greenlit, I'll approach it from another angle.
So... no horror story this year. Maybe next one.
It is what it is. Moving on.
I have a shopping journey, bread in the incubator, and a bad ankle. I forgot
Read more »I've just had Shrink Time(tm), I have bread incubating, I have starter incubating, I'm somehow on TWO chats. One text, one voice. I am going to do art at some point.
I have too much to do, a video to post, and all the other things.
Which I shall be doing piecemeal because everything is looking for my attention at once. Yay.
Read more »So... I may have kind of sort of sidled into writing three fanfics whilst also attempting to finish off the SIXTH GORRAM BOOK of my "brief little thing".
So it's time to bust out this little chestnut:

On one hand - more to share with my

I have finished a story for All Hallow's Read. Huzzah. I need it sensitivity read before I leap ahead and prepare for book launch. It might be too nightmare fuel for my trans readers.
It's also highly

At this point in the game, I'm seriously considering trying to publish in itch.io despite the issues I've been reading about. Which also means finding the scratch to commission some cover art or making my own for the dang thing.
I also have to find/

BLEH.
The lit agency with the shortest turnaround has decided to not want fantasy or scifi this fortnight. Three guesses which are my favourite fucking genres?
Yeah. I'm bitter this morrow.
Last night was very nice, and I discovered the

Best to not be a pest on someone's birthday.
I am now the proud owner of a tempered glass monitor riser, which I am using as a cat-proof shield over my keyboard. It's a teeny bit short to type while it's over my keys, so I've

Very few stuff and things, thank grop. Things I can easily afford even if payday is a smidge tardy. Yay. With even space for a little treato for the trip home.
Huzzah.
I shall be attempting to write today's tale in the time I have left.
Wish me
Read more »The car is getting serviced. Yay. It's going to CO$T. Boo. We have the money. Yay. But I also need to be able to hear the doorbell so I can't do any of the social calls on Discord with my fellow writers. Boo.
Win some, lose some.
I hope to get some screencaps with which I hope to settle some discourse over K-Pop Demon Hunters that's been going on.
Other than that, the usual nonsense shall be commencing shortly.
Read more »I have recording to do, a video to arrange, the mandatory nonsense, and maybe half a chapter at some point.
I'm in a conference call with another writer's group. They like my nonsense so we're having a good old gasbag.
In betwixt chatting, I shall attempt to create fiction. I'll see how I go with that.
Story happening whenever I can wrangle that thing.

I have yet to think of what the living fuck I'm doing with the Archive prompt. I have the All Hallows Read idea to work on.
...I have fanfic ideas rattling in my head and clamouring for release...
And there's the usual shenanigans of the daily offerings.
I have no idea how or when it will all be done, but I

I might even get the day's tale done before it's time to turn up at the hairdresser's with my lovelies.
I have no idea what's going to stop me bar my own personal inertia.
Updates, if any, after they happen.
Read more »I woke up at 2AM, this morning, but preferred to browse my phone rather than work on ADT. I might get a paragraph or two in, later today. I might not.
Shopping looms, but I can get away with waiting one more day for that achievement. Which also means I'll have more funds to fuel the foods.
I have a storytime video to arrange for tomorrow, the obligatory offerings, and figuring out what the hell I need to do to improve my

I have a story to read for Peertube, and the video to arrange about that. I have a story to write for the temple of notes. Following that, I am allegedly a free agent.
Last time that happened, I went to bed at 3PM and wrote some fanfic at 8PM. And somehow woke up relatively late.
So... as per usual, I arrived to the Archive stream after my
