I overspent again just making sure we had adequate supplies. Much though I'd love to pull my head in, we do run out of stuff.
And Mayhem has the Lurgi. It's so bad he's asked for "Shandy" - my horrible concoction of an omnicure. I made sure he also has a source of chicken soup.
In a few minutes, I shall begin making my offerings public. Starting with the storytime video. I have a co-op story to get on with, the rant to do, and my daily tale to create.
Onwards, ever onwards.
Not necessarily dealt with in that order. It's going to be a strain on our economy, but I will get us stocked up with bits and bobs, stuff and things, and things and stuff.
Costco will be open soon, so I'll be icing my ankle ere I launch for the Leyland's tour. Everything else will be happening after I return victorious with my haul.
Gotta line up the stuff for my Patrons. Gotta get a rattle on with the side projects. Gotta

I got rid of that thing, but the area still hurts.
I have finally sorted which idea to use for this week's prompt - another one I didn't vote for. So I can work on that, the prompt from the Promptcast,

I wasted some of yesterday's hours waiting for a stream that was happening today.
At least I got bread done.
I'm hoping the streams go forth, and working on the prompts before I go forth and start on my regular offerings. In fact, I'm about to record the audio for Monday's video. Huzzah.
Onwards to my organised chaos.
Read more »The Archhive is not reading anything today. Neither is the Promptcast. Because it's Halloween in the US. Where they are.
So I don't have a 4-6 hour distraction from my normal offerings.
I've signed up for QueryTracker at long blipping last, and I now have a fresh PLN for pitching my books. I can seek out agents willing to look at my stuff and go through them alphabetically. I can even use it to pitch.
Starting tomorrow.
I now have new glasses,

My videos are back in my work cycle, so that's going to be interesting to work back in to what passes for my routine.
The ankle needs a brace, today. My bad for pushing it too far after Physio. On the other hand, I had to test it
Read more »I have bread on, today. Can't really delay it without consequences. Alas for my plans, we are also out of cordial and that's going to need a dash up to the shops to get more.
Which means I have to wait until I have money 'cause I've currently run out. The joys of feeding a household when everything runs dry.
I think I shall wait until the account fills up before I sally forth. It'll give me time to get the bread
Read more »I have finished working on the Promptcast thing. Or finished to my satisfaction about it. And it has occurred to me that the Promptcast stuff is exactly what Scrivener was made for. So I might transfer my extant shit from the GoogDoc to that and buy the damn program.
I'll try playing with that anyway. It's a small file so far. And I think I still have the free trial on.
Temporal awareness is my achilles' heel.
Turns out I can move

So does today. I have things to deliver unto Patreon. I have a story to create, the meme to participate in... and so many shiny projects to work on.
I think I'll give the Patreon Patrons a page at a

I got the novel, of course, chugging slowly along towards the final chapters. The very shiny fanfic that is having an editing day today[too many typos]. The entry for the Archive, of course. And now I got myself involved in the Hold My Pen Promptcast. Or "Promptcast" for short.
I know not if there is a
Read more »The Archive is reading stories and I am attempting to focus on my offerings. Huzzah.
Mostly because there's a four-way tie between winning prompts this week.
I'll figure out the Archive Story when I know what we're all doing.
In the meantime... whatever the heck I'm writing today.
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.

Other folks have had the problem with Kdenlive, but there's no fix for it yet. Boo and hiss. I might have to find the dev's Discord and ask there.
That's going to take more digging. [tikka tikka noises] Digging done, made a post. Not holding my breath. They did have a Discord, but it looks like it's defunct.
Sigh.
The struggle continueth.
I shall get on with

That didn't do buggerall.
I'm going to try rebuilding the video from extant files and see if that works. Then I go searching for solutions if that fails to do the thing.
But first, I go make my offerings. Then I do all the FAFO to try and get my videos back into operation.
Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
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
