I am not working on ADT nor Pseuducku today. I'm also not working on them tomorrow. That is something of a relief, as I need a break from my own expectations.
Burnout prevention is very important.
Mayhem got a start on the first loaf, and I'll be finishing it off and working on the second one later today.
The offerings should be happening shortly.
...probably slower because a cat just settled on my left hand.
I have starter in the incubator because Chaos has discovered the magic of pan-fried bread. Looks like I'll be making bread on a weekly basis. Maybe even bi-weekly. I aim to finish one chapter of ADT this week, and I want to make some significant progress on Pseuducku.
Then there's the usual daily offerings, the video production, and maybe even some time for myself.
I also have a catio to clean, which I will be getting to the instant this blog is
Read more »Yesterday was pretty much a wash. Most of my time was exhausted in spinning my wheels. I have a lot more time today now that I've got an idea of where I'm going.
Fingers crossed, I have something of a prototype by tomorrow. Because tomorrow... I have to start bread again.
Yes, my lovely readers, both the kids have discovered the wonders of fried toast. So it looks like I'll be making bread once a week.
Not a bad thing, to be

Today is going to SUUUUUUCK...
I'll be recording a story for the videos, editing and posting an older story for TubeTube, and talking to my fellow writers in the Archives.
According to my internet investigations, the best place to get Rona jabs is Priceline Pharmacy, so that's where I'll be calling tomorrow before I stop by. I'll even ask the kids to get their refresher needle too.
My primary focus is

Beloved uses it for coding and I've been shown how terrifyingly good it is at doing that. And if I want Pseuducku to be playable this decade... I'll have to do that.
I still don't know how ethical it is, but... it's here to stay. If Beloved trusts it to write code, I
Read more »I almost forgot to finish off the video I made myself have due, last night. But I made myself get up and finish it, and then post it. Which means that I am free and clear to start sharing on my socials.
Next week, I record a little outro advertising my Peertube posts earlier than whenever they find them on TubeTube.
Maybe it'll work. It's worth a shot.
But my lovely followers get the Peertube video before TubeTube does.
I have to
Read more »I don't know what I'm going talk about this week. Maybe state of the WIP, maybe state of the Author. Maybe a little bit of both. Maybe something about my new video editing work.
I dunno, but I'm doing it first.
It's the only way I can be certain it gets done at all. I can't do a "Reasons to Love" on Murderbot: The Series because I'm still evaluating it on its own merits. I'm running out of stuff that can be
Read more »Working out the routine for the storytime videos, I think I have a rhythm now.
Huzzah.
This time, I'm going to try making my preferred subbie format before I get going on the video project. Maybe I can get the format to stay this time around. Nevertheless, I have NOTES so I can replicate them at will.
By hook or by crook, I will get this WORKING.
I can do
Read more »I had PLNs to go shopping today. And then I noticed a blind spot creeping into my field of vision. Whoopsy doopsy, I have a stress headache creeping up on me, so I added some painkillers to my morning doses.
The good news is: the blind spot is easing away.
The bad news: I still have a cyclone migrane centred in my left eye socket.
So I'm working on my offerings until the painkillers finish driving my head owies away. Which I'm
Read more »I now have a new cord for my cane that should last a decent while. It will contain my folded cane, though it is a bit too loose. Something easily fixed by an improvised woggle bead.
[Shown here: A folded cane bound up with its own carry-cord, which is a two-tone braided cord with a large carabiner attached. There is a striped bulldog clip with its handles removed keeping the cord tight and the cane folded.]
I dunno what else to call
Read more »We're doing bread shaping experiments today. I need to sort out the catio, today. One of those is dependant on Mayhem being conscious. The other is waiting on my own impetus.
Inertia is my copilot.
Today, I also plan on learning ANOTHER editing program to make subtitles. May it not also need jiggery-pokery to do text boxes and the other things.
Here's my last method to make subtitles:
Things on my list:
The good news is that I can multitask on that. I only have a few things to fetch at the shops, so I should be able to get them before the starter's done incubating.
Which I need to do pretty close to now.
Offerings after I get that done. See you later.
Read more »I started a chapter, yesterday, and I aim to finish it today. Not pushing myself, though. Just adding a sentence or a paragraph as the muse dictates.
I owe my readers a piece about something on my mind. Maybe a help to new writers, or a guide on how to focus with ASD/ADHD. I'm leaning towards the latter. All my little tricks that I've acquired over the many, many years of dealing with my own mental fog.
I'd much prefer to
Read more »So the video editor is ludicrously easy to use. Hooray. So now I'm recording myself reading archive stories. One per day seems to be a decent limit. I'm still working out how to do subtitles without crashing the dingdang thing. Messing about in PeerTube first may make me look more professional in YouTube. When I have enough of a swing in motion to post daily.
I will be digging up my published novels for the long form reads. Eventually. I have LOADS
Read more »My lovelies have now created a PeerTube instance. The moment I can make something and post it on there, it's joining my link hoard in the menu. There's a few technical hitches...
Just a slight snag. I will be working on that as time goes by.
Further bulletins as events warrant.
I anticipate some hours of gassbagging with my fellow writers, before I move
