back from fanfusion aka con. lol!

Finally can got to a point where I can think of my book again.
I decided to pause in the rewrite and start the 2nd one. Since by being further down the road I know what happens and can foreshadow things in book 1 better. We’ll see if I went supercrazybonkers or that it works.

The very happiest of birthdays to WillowDarkling, aka my Neko Wenchling. May this be a fabulous year, my darling! 

I’m annoyed, graphics giving me issues on my computer.  ☹️

Got about five months to work on a Halloween story.

I had a mini break alone last week.  I had dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant.  Everyone around me was eating fancy meals with glasses of wine and champagne that they were clinking together.  I had pizza, mousse for dessert and a mug of hot chocolate.  I’m a takeaway and fast food joint kind of guy.  These are not my people.

The procrastination station has returned.  We have a chatbox zone again in the forums.

I had a gastroscopy done yesterday, without any sedation, since I needed to drive myself home afterwards and carry on looking after mum.  That was… unpleasant.

Saw this excellent quote for the day… “Don’t screw with the people cooking your books!”

Have you ever been hit with “chapter mitosis?”  Well, I’ve been hit with it again.  Chapter 36 is ‘skinny’ again, but should be fattened up enough to post before the end of the week.  Chapter 37 is bigger, but has a ways to go before it’s ready.  Oh, well…  Just another ‘first world problem.’

I mean, sure, I expect Kent to be mad that I’m going to sprain his ankle.  But he ought to count his blessings that I decided to not break his leg as I had originally planned on doing.

In a good mood.  About got through an entire episode this morning before work (light revision & some new content) from start to finish (around 7k worth).   YES, woke up before my alarm went off, how could you tell?

So if its not one thing it is another. I now need to go get my left bottom wisdom tooth pulled. ugh! not looking forward to seeing an oral surgeon! at least my boss is gonna help me out with being off for a couple of days 

The happiest of birthdays to the amazing @Melrick!     

I’m still trying to find a way to ship you some of that Key Lime pie…

Waiting for my new eyes to arrive.  Have both site and forum updates / bug fixes to do but need to see clearly first.

Is it a sign that I’m getting old, or that the parental units are getting old, when the pair of them go down on their hands and knees to peer under the kitchen cabinets, and my first thought is, “Are they both going to be able to get up ok?”….?

well this is the first time ever that my job and life has made me want to drink all 3 days off! i think i really need to change my life! 

Started yesterday.  Happy SPRING everybody.

Using AI to edit your smut can be so wild. ProWritingAid decided that this sentence…
…needs this correction: 
I mean, sure, I’m as passionate about fucking as anyone, but that isn’t quite what I was going for there. I can only assume the algorithm assumed Kai’e’ie is a name rather than an emotion and that I was trying to make small talk instead of comparing two different emotional states—Kai’e’ie versus mi’lee’veez—related to intimacy. (Kai’e’ie’: combined from syllables from words meaning love, say, life, and bond; combined, the meaning is, literally love said, life-bound, or figuratively, without you, I die. The fictional people who created this word are apparently as dramatic as I can write them. Mi’lee’veez: the root words in their entirety and proper order mean my dream heart. Sappity-sap-sop, someone get a mop.)
 
This is what I get for creating a fictional language for my novel. 🙄 J.R.R., you’re a horrible influence.

Is it bad when I’ve kinda stopped keeping track of my story’s body count?
