Good news! I'm working again, making some steady progress, if slow.

I know I haven't been updating much here. I'm much more communicative over on my discord, to be honest. I'm updating my status pretty regularly on there, it's just easier since I have rapid access to it at all times. I'll try and blog more regularly.

However, there is further good news!

I have a Google Sheets that tracks my work output, updated any day work happens, as well as the ability to see what I'm currently working on. Even if I'm not super on top of blogging, you can keep an eye on my progress.

Yes, I'm still struggling. Getting my sibling on as my caregiver is painfully slow, and I've had to take on some additional out of the house stuff (plasma donation) to account for it. And between that, I have to work with my sibling to get them to all the fiddly little meetings that they need to get on the job. I am exhausted, but forging onward. I'm pinch hitting typing because the VTT is back to outputting gibberish, no idea why.



Don't, under any fucking circumstances, feed my work, original characters within my work, or original world concepts I design, to any AI of any sort for any reason.

Look, even if I approved of the messy batshittery that is AI...

Quick one for those not on my Discord:

My (now ex) was apprently deathly afraid of deadlines, including other people having them, and among a raft of bullshit he pulled and then gaslighted his way out of, he was deliberately/reactively creating situation that whenever I said the words, "I have an upcoming deadline" or "I need to work today" he needed me to do literally anything else for as long as possible. If you have ADHD, you're familiar with the unfortunate executive cycle of "I have a deadline, and will do anything other than work on it and then get it at the last minute if I do at all" which is fine, and unfortunate, but he had a form of that, and reacted to MY deadlines.

Again, he's an ex. Unfortunately, he wsa the hoarderiest...

OK, so. Obviously, deadlines are in freefall. I've tried going back to typing by hand, and it's shit. This blog, in fact, brought to you by the autocorrect and predictive text on my phone. I am reduced to autocorrect, and I'm mad about it. My hands have pretty firmly lost the plot, though it gets a little better or worse hour by hour.

Unfortunately I am still trying to resolve technical issues with voice-to-text. Tried a few mic setups, mostly duds or "ehhhh, that sorta works." I am also fighting software: Google VTT is the front runner but it's ridiculously features light, can't format inline, censors swear words, and it auto shuts off if I don't say anything for 15 seconds, or sometimes in the middle of a sentence for no reason. And still makes a lot of...

Yes, I'm behind. I haven't updated the deadlines yet, and i'm going to take a stab at getting caught up.

Explanation: due to my childhood, I have a tremor in my hands and "pre"arthritis. The doctors told me I might start losing dexterity in my mid-thirties. Guess how old I am.

I'm gonna be honest, I have been full on head in the sand about this. Have refused to consider accomodations, have not talked about it to most doctors (unless they inevitably notice my hands shaking), and have brushed off concern from others for most of two decades. In short, I've been a dumbass about this because I hate the thought of losing my hands.

Unfortunately, once symptoms started to be managed, it became pretty fucking apparent that part of my difficulty...

And may I just say, I never want to calculate in base 7.5 or base 9.5 ever again, lol. Shit was wild.

Anywho, go take a look at them if you've got a comm with me, Imma do my best to hit these.

Thanks for your patience,and I'll start cranking shit out tomorrow.

Howdy all. First up, I am not stepping back, taking a break, none of that. No one panic.

Obviously, a month has come and gone, and the Queue is still there.

To be frank, the Functional Neurological Disorder caught me on the hop. It rolled out a symptom simulation I haven't dealt with since I was 16-17, and in a way I was ill-prepared for. Bluntly, pain. Rather than intaking pain signals from my nerves, my brain can output the signal, making a nerve or cluster explode as though seriously damaged.

So, I have spent the last month suffering increasingly more severe trigeminal flares and the co-occuring migraines. If you've contacted me at all this month, you probably already knew that.

The good news is, I caught the bitch in the...

Greetings, salutations, hello, and hi.

It's a long one! First two are the big business bits, crazy personal shit at the bottom.





Basically, I need to clear that damn queue. So, I will not be formally selling any words for August.

If needed, and only for emergency purposes I may sell limited words in August if the bills hit me and I'm utterly fucked. Any words sold in August will be for September and will count against any September sales.



Now, the queue is doable. If you've been round these parts before, you know that...

Shockingly, despite a heatwave that is murdering my A/C, a smidge of summer cold, and the sparkling trauma of my B-Day and Bomb Day back to back, I am still on track to clear the queue by the end of August. So uh. HMU, I'm still solid.

Sigh. So, I'm having a pain flare. I literally just today can sorta type on my phone again. Sorry for the radio silence, I just... literally could not type.

We're dropping the total commission count by 25k a month at this point to hit targets of clear by August. I may drop as low as 50k in July or August, depending on how things go, but we'll see.

I am a touch frustration cause this particular type of flare is precipitated by nothing, has no real trigger or set duration, no functional treatment beyond sleep and Tylenol and is completely unpredictable. I just don't fucking have them this bad...
