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.
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
Read more »Yesterday, I had a PLN to take the afternoon off. Then I was called upon to help a writer in the group trim their story down from nearly one thousand words. For a reminder, the upper limit is three hundred and fifty words.
Then I got wrapped up in a collab idea.
And just when I was actually nearly finished with the day's tale, Mayhem needed an emergency shopping run. Sigh.
I'm HOPING to have an afternoon off today. And maybe tomorrow.
Read more »I gotta think up something to say this week. I gotta hit Kdenlive with a hammer. I gotta write a story and I gotta stay aware enough to catch Mayhem's Get-Me-Home message because I am totally daft at paying attention to that flavour of thing.
I'm trying something, and I shall see if it works.
I need to get more supplies, but I also need to wait for payday because all kinds of expensive shit has happened. Not-yay.
BUT at least I

I fed my starter after a longer time period than usual. Wilson will be fine. I've done similar shenanigans before. I do try to not do it that often, for the record.
I need my cane again and doing my stretchies has to stop when they start to hurt. It's best to

I have the offerings to do and I might just pitch Adapting to the one agency that's speed-run rejecting my stuff. If any day is the day to be brave about things, it's today.
I did have a thought to bullshitting up a cover for the All Hallows' Read story I've got completed, but... I
Read more »I got my lovelies coming over to deal with my ever-extending Honeydew list. I think I might have convinced them by adding a few things to the list in-between asking them about it.
Procrastination regarding the list just means more list.
Kind'a like a lot of my problems, if I think about it too hard. And I try not to because of the headaches I get if I do.
The story and video stuff will be happening after the fix-a-thon. Whenever that
Read more »I'm looking for assistance from other authors with the secondary All Hallows' Read story that I've managed to produce. I'm trying not to feel the clock ticking at this point.
I don't have to release this thing this year. I can get it perfected, construct the cover, and have it all lined up for next year.
I've got today's Peertube video out. Yay. I've had my dosages. Hooray. I've done my stretchies and cooled off my ankle.
I'm struggling with all other

This morning was a little on the rough side. Awake and productive at 1AM, unable to rest but sleepy by 3AM. Awake at some point after my morning alarm went off.
I'm determined to look after myself. Which can be a little bit of an emotional drag when I'd much
Read more »I have a method(tm) for dealing with the ankle interruptions. I'm calling it "drips and drops" and it also deals with the fanficcery I've got running. When I go to ice my ankle, I put drips and drops of thoughts into each WIP I have on the burner.
It worked to get me half a chapter, last Friday. It worked to get several chunks into various fanfics. I have confidence that it can work today.
I've posted the video on Peertube
Read more »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.
Read more »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

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:

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.
