PLNs

A 534-post collection

Tuesday, Leyland's Tour and then all the other things

I am helping MeMum with the byzantine Gordian knot that is Queensland firearms license paperwork, today. Which means that I will be largely incommunicado until that is well over with.

Which means that all my usual offerings unto the altar of notes [better known as the internet] will be either late today or not present until tomorrow.

Also going on behind the curtain is yet another one of those "why am I even trying" existential crises based entirely around the blatant fascism in the USA and the grinding gears of the publishing industry working on milling author bones for a bit more bread.

So I deal with what's in front of me.

ADT has a wall that needs Beloved's assistance to knock down. So... until that's gone, I'm back to one of the more hated occupations in my writing career - summarising the extant novels.

All part of my long-term plan called WWAEWGD - What Would An Entitled White Guy Do?

An entitled white guy wouldn't meekly go away and write a different book. They'd just fling the next book at them while pitching the last one to a different mob. And I have at least five of these suckers just lying in wait. So I will sort them in order of turn-around times, skip all the ones with "reading fees" [ye gods] and have at it.

BUT... I still have to do all the work of prepping the commonly requested materials so that I can do all that at relatively ludicrous speed.

Also polish my bio so that it reflects how queer/neurodiverse I am so that they know what they're getting into from the start.

It is time to wear clothes, feed the cats, and get rattling onwards.

I shall have stuff for you when I have stuff for you.

Sunday, Game Night and Expenses

I forgot to check my alarms this morning -_- Bleh. Still managed to get a game sesh on for my international peeps.

The cats are now fed, and I am currently watching the Foundry until it's time to my story stream.

The rest of my day is for offerings and other shenanigans. Including working out the schedule for the rainbow crowd game night henceforth.

Whee fun.

I might even have time to fix my "evil" playthrough in BG3. Or I might

Wednesday, Wordpress and Further Shenanigans

Beloved has work, and I have not received any further bulletins as to when I can expect her lovely company. Guess that happens later.

Looking forward to some delicious carbage and delightful company tonight. All going well.

Heck, I might even find out where books 2 and 3 are. Fingers crossed.

I'm still doing all the other offerings, but my schedule may be interrupted with barely a moment's notice. I anticipated this when I sat down to write today's tale. Still on

Tuesday, Patreon and Continuing On

I had myself a little micro-meltdown last night. Chiefly related to the fact that I can't do anything of merit when it rains because everything requires the internet.

I ended up sleeping twice last night. Finishing off chapter 322 in the middle of the night. Literally.

Thank Grop that my lappy lets me edit offline.

I've done my Patreon stuff, posted the Fediverse meme, and am plotting to take further steps towards learning how Stencyl works before sinking my teeth (haha) into

Monday, Tale Foundry and PLNs

The Foundry is together once more to share their sordid little tales. I have three more stories to share than usual, so it promises to be fun.

The QPP and I agree that the TMNT movie is very well done and a refreshing change from the Pixar/Disney smooth bug-eyed model.

One nitpick: why is the main storyline badguy Black-Coded? They gave him a "ghetto" accent and the animators had an excuse to use the dreaded 'mushmouf'

This is also a character

Saturday, Change of PLNs

Adorable has been incapacitated in the wee small hours, so no parkrun this morning. I had to unriddle some banking nonsense before I commenced the horseshit this morrow.

At least the horseshit is sorted for the meanwhile.

Next problem: Having enough money -_-

I gotta do some effort to amend that nonsense. Including finishing the epic tale so I can get on with summarising all my extant novels so I can get them published on a higher scale.

I AM BEING

Friday, Unfuckening and PLNs

Parkrun tomorrow, and I need to buy some things online and configure some other things so my money is still accessible in all its varied places.

I would also like Beloved to answer a question I asked, but I might have to ask until we share air.

There's also cleaning the catio, creating The Bikkie [once more, I have no desire to mess about with pseudobread] and otherwise getting on with my routine.

I shall record an episode for Adorable, clean the

Thursday, Back to the Grind

I am only expected to give minimal offerings, today, so the chances are good that I shall complete some significant portions of a tutorial for Stencyl. At last.

I am confident that, once I complete all the tutorials, I should be able to build a passable game to suit my goals.

Discussing this with Beloved, there was some confusion regarding grid sizes. She was referring to the size of the 'patches' within the grid and I was referring to the whole grid.

Monday, Unriddling and Reads

I got some advice about Stencyl's oddities, which I shall be attempting to follow in the fullness of time. Tale Foundry is doing the pseudosocial backup readings.

I've already recorded a couple of chapters for Adorable. I shall be working on another chapter of my WIP during the proceedings, and the offerings shall occur henceforth.

Currently, I am typing with one hand because Jolie needs a pillow/teddy bear.

Sunday, Streams and Sleeps and Stuff

We've just had a very interesting session, with my crew discovering how awful the carnival is. And gathering things that might just help them beat the big bads.

I intended this to be a one-shot intermission on their usual adventures with a side of Plot Vortex. It's now stretched into THREE sessions because my crew have an innate capacity for dicking around.

Tale Foundry is doing the reads as I type this and my immediate plns are: Write story, sleep, publish, then

Friday, RESTORATION!

Finally got things up and running thanks to Beloved (bless you love). Hooray!

With good luck and good time, I might get an improvement on the instructions I use to get things back up if this happens again. Fingers crossed on that count.

I'm recording things, I've cleaned the catio, I've created and consumed The Bikkie. AAANNNND it's Mayhem's birthmas.

Happy birthday, kiddo. You got six months to start Adulting before you're effectively forced to do it.

After all, we have PLNs

Tuesday, Patreon and Owies

I had a cyclone migraine yesterday. Morning dose of the painkiller combo didn't quite work. Evening dose of same also did not quite work. This morning is very much the same. Took the painkillers, still feeling the hurts.

Fuckmylife.jpg

I just spent two hours (interrupted by fam) summarising my adventures in Baldur's Gate 3 as Kosh. I'm about to do the Patreon posts and memeing before I settle into today's tale. Interspersed with recording five chapters for Adorable.

I finished off

Monday, Progression of PLNs

I have one duck left to draw, and then it's CODING TIME. Oh my sweet powers, I need a lot of help with that.

I shall be searching with the Duck Of Wisdom [duckduckgo] to see if there's anything that will help me actually make a firkin GAME.

Further bulletins on that as events warrant.

As for today, I shall be finishing a chapter that I started in the morning, doing the daily meme and the daily tale.

Then I get back

Friday, some good firkin news

Doctor Who has hired a trans actor for a role in one of their specials! For the rainbow crowd, this is excellent news. There's a high possibility of some halfway decent trans representation.

The negative side of this is all the incel basement-dwellers will be pre-emptively howling "Go woke, go broke!" before we even see them. And there's a high statistical likelihood of Bury Your Gays since fucking MOFFAT is back on the team.

He likes to treat the rainbow crowd as

Thursday, Further Shenanigans

I have STUFF to do. Lots of it. Starting with: I just stitched together the best possible resolution map of Waterdeep. I shall be messing around with Owlbear so I am prepared for a RETURN TO THE GAME

AUGH!

I'm terrified to do it but also committed to doing it so finding out how to do it by fuckin' around is going to be beneficial in the long term for my PLNs.

I have done all the just-in-case recordings, so now all
