Weird Writer Wednesday

A 45-post collection

Wednesday, Rant and Shopping Due

My USB power hub expired last night. Fun times. Now I have one of those added to my list. I have to stop off in several more places than originally planned.

I have my knees and ankle re-enforced, yay, but as I was getting my doses together, my right hip decided to add to the fun times.

...yay...

My PLNs include fortifying my funds with a visit to the local Cash-4-Cans place. Just to have that little bit extra. If we need it, good. If we don't, Chaos gets half and we work together to figure out how she can cash a bag of containers for cold hard folding.

And more than the usual amount of walking means that I'll probably be in misery by the time I finally sit to make my offerings.

I have a video to make, a video to "trickle down" to TubeTubes. A rant to write, as well. I think I might write about today. All my cunning PLNs and how they went to shit. And the so-much-pain I experience thanks to my fucked up organic pieces.

I've put myself onto Max, my Nebuliser, for a decent dose because Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season is ALSO also kicking my arse... When that's done - I launch with Chaos as my co-pilot/running associate. And by "running associate", I mean she does the running around and fetching while I do what little I can to ameliorate my pain debuffs.

While I upgrade my breathing ability, I'll do what I can for my offerings.

Let's go.

Wednesday, Rants and Stuff

The good news is that all I have to do for the videos is edit the subtitles. It's a lighter load this time.

I tried to get Cursor to do things yesterday and all I got was the Cursor answer to the Spinny Wheel of Doom. Looks like I wasn't logged in to the website that makes it go. Grr. I'm still counting it as working on Pseuducku.

And I have a thing to write for the rant today. I don't know

Wednesday, Rant Due and Debugging

Finally got Pseuducku up and onto a host. Now I'm testing to make sure it functions properly. If all continues to be well, there will be a link appearing in this site.

Unriddling little glitches continues to be an issue, I guess.

Today's PLNs include another rant, possibly about the unavoidability of AI.

Update:

I just got it working. You can see it here.

My next step is figuring out how to edit locally until I'm satisfied with the next version.

Wednesday, Mor BREAD!

My cunning PLN has worked! Miss Chaos is slowing down on her ravenous sourdough consumption. She appreciates how much firkin work goes into each loaf. And there's food-with-instructions lying around so she's not starving.

She's just incredibly lazy.

Pan-fried toast is easier than a lot of meals she could be making. Faster, as well. The bread to make the pan-fried toast is a little bit more of a trial.

So I'm happy to do the second batch on my only while I

Wednesday, SHENANIGANS!

Today... I am learning a thing with the help of the QPP. I am learning to use a program that does the programming for me. My absolute dream since I was always pants at programming.

I'd follow the instructions, do everything by the book... and end up with a dev/null error in line zero. Or some other fatal error.

It's been that way since I tried learning to program in the beginning.

Part of today's experiment is seeing how my fickle

Wednesday, Rant Due, and Other Things

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

Wednesday, Rant Due and Cyclone Headaches

The good news is, I don't have a bubbling blind spot this morning. The bad news is that my painkillers are taking their sweet damn time to kick into gear.

I just flicked Clockwork Souls off to PS Literary, and B'Nar is in the reserve pile. The agent I was looking at is taking a sabattical. I have to look up someone else to take Adapting and Beauties.

Finding a third set of potential representatives is my task of the week, now

Wednesday, Rant Due and Expectations

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

Wednesday, Overdue Offerings and Rant

Since I have just about finished reading the Sharing Knife series, I think I should probably go on a bit of a rant and rave about that one.

I'm collating chapters for Book 5 one folder at a time and I'll be posting my owed Patreon content very, very soon.

The PLN for to day is do a little bit of one thing, work on another, then go back to the thing. Until the thing is done. Until all my things are

Wednesday, Rant Due and Accelerating PLNs

I am spending this morning going through my archives for my most popular stories. All so I can read them to TubeTube at some point. My metric? Anything with 100 or more likes gets into the system.

There's more popular stories than I thought.

I have five years to sift through. That's going to be... interesting.

I'm still freaking out over it a little bit.

I can do this though. I know I can do this. Figuring out how to add video

Wednesday, Messed Up Morning

Here's my day so far:

1AM - Wake up despite my best efforts to remain asleep
2AM - text chat with Beloved as she was getting ready for bed
4-ish AM - return to slumber
6AM - panicked phone call from MeMum about the charging level in her laptop and how the power connection wasn't working. Immediate attempt to achieve cogniscence and preparation for hauling ass and solving said tech issue
7AM - Another urgent phone call from MeMum explaining that she'd

Wednesday, Rant Due and Leyland PLNs

I have to think of something to talk about for my weekly blog. Perhaps the stories behind the story I'm writing in my "Butcher's Book" and the general mood behind Sanity Projects. "In" prefix optional.

Yes, I made a little pamphlet thingy out of a sheet of Butcher's Paper. Replete with sewing the spine for binding. And yes, I am filling it with a weird little story.

Because I happen to be Like That(tm).

And yes, I plan on showing it

Wednesday, Rant Due and Other PLNs

We're taping and papering out windows, today. My other plns to hunker and bunker are foiled by having a dental appointment.

The day before the cyclone fucking hits us.

I have excellent fucking timing. It's a gift.

So in the middle of tape and paper [I got a bargain lot of butcher's paper from a newfound source of stuff and things] I have to extract my car from the shed, drive myself down to the dentist's [through the slings and arrows of

Wednesday, Physio, Rant, and Maybe Shopping

Technical difficulties have been cleared, I have physio today, and some offerings due.

My marketing connection sent me the exact same video they sent me last time, so I sent them a clue.

As in, I know a few things about editing videos. So it could also be a callout.

Meanwhile, I'm going to be learning how to make a one-minute music piece in a GarageBand-like made specifically for Linux. I have to find my own loops, but that's okay.

I might

Wednesday, I Owe Output

I owe Patreon posts, I owe a Weird Writer Wednesday. I also need to make bread and get meds.

I have the best timing [/sarcasm].

At least this time, I can walk without searing agony. That's something, I guess.

Mayhem wants to make his own bread on the same day that I'm planning my bread and this is just adding to the fun. Yay.

I am going to make myself mess around with brackets in GameMaker at some point. But I also
