Stabby Cinnamon: I had to backtrack a bit on Stabby Cinnamon, so most of those words are a second draft, but I’ve got past the point that was bothering me, so it should be smooth sailing (ish) and it may even turn into a shorter draft than I feared!

Life And Other Such Important Matters

My bramble has flowers now! Well, one flower. And my small dice tray has fabric lining inside! And… beyond that the week wasn’t too exciting, really. We did some weeding. Well. I did some weeding and tried to get people to do things I couldn’t and failed at the latter. [sigh] But yes thing are quiet. A friend and I are trying daily productivity check-ins and seeing whether and how those work for us. I need to find out where the seam ripper went and then I can get started on my sewing projects. I have three: a warm and cozy scarf and two pairs of pants that need a… gusset? I don’t sew a lot. One of the reasons I’m wanting to do this myself is so I can learn. Presumably adjusting clothing is a little easier to get the hang of and you can get better from there. (Besides I already can’t wear them. I can hardly make them fit worse.)

I also got roped back into my Finally Watch All Things Ghibli project. So of course this week is the one where there’s a lot of discussion about ‘Ghiblicore’ (which is totally a visual aesthetic, less so a genre denominator), which honestly my main reaction to it was to cry for joy because clearly I am not the only one with that particular “let’s ignore the BITE and heavy topics because wholesome, comforting fluff” and I will never tire of seeing examples of it.

Stand-out Positive Moment

My bramble has a flower! Not only did it survive until today, IT HAS A FLOWER. GO LITTLE BRAMBLE GO!

Glitter: This is a weird little novella, just, that Patrons will be able to read (partially) at the end of the month and then the conclusion next month. Have fun with it! I don’t do silly stuff very often and this is very silly. (Yes, Becca, this is exactly what you probably suspect it is. Now with less actual song lyrics and more incessant nattering!)

StabbyCinnamon: I blame Aliette de Bodard for this. Entirely. But hey I have my own stabby/cinnamon combo now. It’s fun! And very odd in a way since it’s just so different from what I normally write. If you all still respond to this (when it’s available) with “It’s so cute and wholesome”, I will attempt to give up. Nothing will convince you all that I put content warnings in for a reason. (Seriously, though, ILU all and am honoured people think my writing is soothing even when dealing with hard stuff. It’s largely just an endless source of amusement.)

Life And Other Such Important Matters

I am almost done with PT! Which is… interesting because apparently PT has maybe had the side effect of being good for my feet? At least I’m finally able to wear a less worn-down pair of sneakers without first putting a bandaid on my heel. (It… was a thing. And yes it was necessary.) I hope that stays, to be honest. I also spent Thursday and Friday mostly collapsed. And wondering why because surely the past week had not been that intense for my doing and. Well. [gestures at wordcount] Apparently it was.

Beyond that, though, life goes on. We’re wrestling background checks still, so joy not knowing if I need to plan a move on a nonexistent budget. My plants are doing all right, surprisingly. The strawberry seems to have forgiven me for thinking it would be fine without wire to protect it. We’ve had a cheeky robin fly into the house twice now. Because cheeky birds. And… yes. Things are quiet as they usually are for me.

Stand-out Positive Moment

My  dice finally arrived! I ordered some dice from Firebolt Dice during their clearing of Magical Girl dice and they took foreeeeever to arrive because mail. I’d seen them before and assumed they were sold out and then was alerted to a clearing sale on the non-perfect-but-useable remainder. And I pounced. I’m absolutely delighted with them. I think Neptune is the only blue die colour of the set I’m missing? (Also Venus.) But they’re so pretty. And they have a 1/7 difference I can actually parse quickly! I can work with the star/dot for the 6/9 one, though a bar at the bottom would’ve been better. (I think the issue is largely on the d20. Where they’re right beside each other. Whoever decided that the 1/7 and 6/9 numbers on dice faces needed to be directly beside one another? WHY DO YOU HATE PEOPLE, PERSON WHO DECIDED THAT?!)

Anyway! So I… had not thought I would get a chance for shiny magical girl dice, which you have to admit are extremely me, and then I did! And I got a set. And they promptly got stuck in the postal services for a month or so. Usually things arrive in a week or so, so I was a smol ball of anxious. And then I was a smol ball of anxious no more!

And I know this might seem silly to people, but these dice really do just make me happy.

Life And Other Such Important Matters

Life continues, as it does. We’re just puttering along as best we can. I’m trying to get back into actual updates, which so far has been going swimmingly. (It has not.) I’ve adjusted to a cat-less life for the time being. It still feels weird. I blame this for my sudden acquisition of a strawberry plant. My bramble has survived the winter and seems to be doing fairly well despite my fears. I’m… impressed. I have no green thumbs whatsoever and am used to killing everything green I attempt to care for.

Big changes may or may not be on the horizon. I may not know until the end of the month. And… beyond that honestly life just goes on and we do our best to function.

Hey, look, I mostly succeeded at this! I’m not sure how clearly I’ve stayed on track, but I certainly don’t think I’ve fallen behind where I wanted to be. At worst I’ve rearranged a few things that needed doing. Still! We’re aiming higher for May! I think I’m at a point where I don’t have a bajillion admin aspects running through my brain and may actually manage to focus somewhat sensibly.

April was largely taken up with prep for book 2 of Promises, as I’d decided that the best way to approach it is to reread book 1 and try to actually organise my notes so I can find things easily if I need them. (Spoiler: so far it turns out I did not need them, after all.) It also saw me finalise the paperback for He Must Go Walk the Woods So Wild, rerelease Among the Glimmering Flowers, and relaunching the verse novels under a more streamlined author name. (I’m nothing if not fickle. I know.) So I actually got a lot of necessary admin and book-related things done. They just ate into my writing time a lot. But since all that is out of the way now… May is looking optimistic.

Stand-out Positive Moment

The moment I got to hold the He Must Go Walk the Woods So Wild proof in my hands. EEEEEE!!! FINALLY! I’m so happy people seem to enjoy that collection. I wasn’t entirely sure how it’d be received since I combined extremely fluffy and soft stories with some extremely dark ones, but people seem to like them and appreciate the balance between them.

Life And Other Such Important Matters

CW: pet illness, discussions of pet euthanasia

January actually started off on a positive note for me in that I have a (temporary but largely full-time) job to go to! YAY! The downside is it the commute is a total of 3 hours back and forth, so it’s more like a 12 hour day and I’ve had to spend the week trying to adjust to that and that just takes me a while, so this first week was largely a bust. I managed to read two shorter things and… that is is it. I’m writing this today wanting to curl up back in bed and sleep. For the entire day. Next week will be better because now that it’s weekend I’ll have actual time to work out how to make the hours work without overtaxing myself. And because it’s temp work on a flex basis, I can actually just leave whenever. (This is useful because it’s work that definitely requires you to be awake and able to pay attention.) It’s really interesting, though, and not one I can say too much about because it deals with people’s private details. Beyond just having trouble adjusting to the workday, though — and, ngl, I feel like the main reason I need adjusting is because COVID means I can’t get any dinner on the go, so I get home after what is effectively a 12-hour intense day and still need to sort food — I’m really enjoying it. Also, yes, it is the kind of work that absolutely cannot be done from home. It’s… very surreal if I pause to let myself think of it. The trains I take should be packed full with people because rush-hour and they’re virtually empty. People largely wear their masks properly. The social distancing is harder because you’re all moving through small aisles and, frankly, while there have been plenty of changes to make travel as safe as possible, “Give people more time to get on/off so they can keep their distance” was not one of those changes. Presumably it’s because I’ve seen, at most, five people exit or enter a rush-hour train in one go. It just feels strange.

And then the day before yesterday we took Twi to the vet and got confirmation that her ear is infected and, well, the world is what is it in general. Twi, you may recall, is my remaining elderly kitty. She’s going on 19 this year and she already had a health condition. They are now doing the thing where they make each other worse. According to the vet, we’re not at the threshold of “Consider what is best for her” yet, but I want to have that discussion sooner rather than later given the likelihood that these conditions don’t play nice together and… yeah. I was a ball of useless this week. I may be a ball of useless next week too. I just want this cat to have as much quality life as I can give her for as long as I can, that’s all.

In… somewhat brighter news. I have two awesome covers for short story collections made by the Amazing Sarah from The Illustrated Page Book Design, that I’m really looking forward to sharing with you all when the actual collections are ready and I can start thinking about promo. One is the collection of (almost) all the shorts I’ve been posting monthly since I started Patreon, so this year in lieu of a yearly collection of pieces, patrons will be getting an ebook copy of that when it’s all done and finished. (I have one story left to write that’s exclusive to the collection and I can dive into formatting etc, so I’m aiming to have it ready for patrons by February and out and available in general by the end of March.) The other is for a collection that… I need to write from scratch first. Well, rewrite from very old drafts the ideas of which are worth salvaging even if little else is anyway. So that one will be a while yet, I’m afraid. And then I have a third cover for the Covenant stories I’ve been sharing last year and aimed to have a collection of published, er, already, but wow cosy fiction is hard to write when your life is a trashfire. Who knew. That one’s my own design and I finalised it… last weekend? Very recently anyway. So at least the cover for it is all done and ready. It just needs something like 5-7 more stories to go with it.

So. You know. We’re making slow progress and this year may see more than one release. Gasp! (If I get really well-organised and find a way to handle the part where I just want to fall asleep foreever, I may actually finish a novel on top of all of that!)

Stand-out Positive Moment

[points at temp job] Definitely that.

How about you? What have you been up to lately? Has anything awesome happened? (Please say yes. I would love some good news.)

Yearly Happenings

Wow. 2020 was… a year. Simultaneously over so far and lasting forever. I don’t think it was kind to anyone I know and I don’t think I need to go into too much depth why. Suffice to say the pandemic made everything a thousand times harder. I was doing so well at the start of 2020. Ahead on most of my must-complete goals, and then saw myself struggling to get everything finished because of the stress and uncertainty.

But, in writing this, I am grateful that we’ve made it to the end of 2020. I’ve had good things happen this year too, largely in the shape of new friends and staying in contact with old friends.

As always, though, my memory is just utterly abysmal and I’m still playing catch-up on… everything I’d intended to do during the year and, to be honest, my holiday. (All right, my break from reading academia.) I’m also surprisingly tired still. I felt like I was finally getting somewhere with that, but you know. 2020 was 2020.

I got some things published! Surprisingly! Though not as much as I’d hoped to get done. I have one academic paper to my name now! Well, my pen name. Which I suppose I will eventually have to poke at.

I put out one small digital-only collection of soft short stories for people who wanted or needed some gentleness and fluff this year. Just put them all together in a small volume and hopefully it’s helped people out. And.. beyond that I’ve just spent the year trying to deal with everything it’s thrown at us and at the very least not falling further behind on things.

2021 will see me still playing catch-up on a lot of things, so… I guess we’ll see how it goes. I aim to publish at least one collection, but beyond that? Who knows what the year will bring. I’m certainly not up to making any plans right now. I’m barely keeping up with everything I need to do before 2020 is truly over.

Life And Other Such Important Matters

In this year’s long, long list of “Oh, you thought things were improving?”, we are now officially in household quarantine for at least until testing results are in. It took something like five minutes for someone to go out to the shops. I cannot even.

Personally, though, I’m all right, I think. Anxious and tired, but that’s nothing new. I’m still pondering how to rearrange the furniture sensibly, so nothing’s changed, but I’m trying to get back into my lists because organisation really helps. I just need a way to pick myself up and keep going after I fall off.

So this weekend has lists! We’ll see how it goes. This is technically the first item on the list, though not the one I’ve done first. It’s not a fancy list, but that’s okay. I find it helpful to start small, even if it makes me feel a bit sad looking at the list and noting all the things I could add.

See, the thing is: I could add them, but then they wouldn’t get done. For me, anyway. So starting with a small list that I can add to actually works out better because it has multiple functions: If I finish it, I can feel good about finishing it. If I don’t finish it, I feel less bad because there were fewer items on it and thus I have failed less spectacularly. And anything else I get done and add is just an awesome bonus!

And the idea is obviously to build that up since it’s only so small because it should make it easier to get back up if I trip. Then, as I manage to build things into routine more, I can add things. At least that’s the theory.

I really hate the fact that I fell off making the lists, though. I used to have them every week and they were super helpful, but somewhere along the line depression meant I stopped completely and since then most every attempt to get back to it has failed. But I can do it. Eventually. We try and try again and, honestly, even if I fail again I will have made progress for a little while and so can make progress again.

Stand-out Positive Moment

I got ear gunk out of Twi’s ear! I think. It may have been nose gunk, but I don’t think so? Twi’s been having issues with her ear and we can’t really see what’s wrong, but I know that cleaner and my frankly rubbish ear massages do seem to help her feel better. So the vet said to give that a try and come back if there’s no improvement. So getting to a point where I seem to be better at massaging her ear and likely getting some of the gunk out? AWESOME!

GalaQ: Oh, hey, I got some words before the heatwave descended and wiped out any chance of progress.

Life And Other Such Important Matters

It! Is still! Too hot! I’m so relieved I managed to get the discussion post for Let’s Read Academics written up because it was touch-and-go on my ability to do it for a while there. Thankfully, it is somewhat cooler than it has been, so hopefully soon I won’t have to worry about the heat and being an utter flop in it. I may even catch up on my emails! And, er, work. (Listen, I have a standard for myself and I have not met it. Because I was too busy flopping around like a dying fish.)

Yes, I am somewhat loopy from a lack of proper sleep thanks to the heat, why do you ask?

Stand-out Positive Moment

I took the dogs for a walk and nothing went wrong! Which means I can wear shoes again and do all that good stuff that needs doing that require shoes. I think this means my toe wasn’t broken? Which is a nice thing to think of because the only other time I’ve broken anything at all was miserable for so many different reasons.

Weekly Accountability

Hi, everyone! It’s that time again! Weekly updates delivered every Saturday! Actually on Saturday!

Firstly, a quick question: If I were to convert the old Rambles into mp3s for anyone who finds those easier to listen to/more accessible for their needs, which ones would you be most interested in and would you like me to start with? It’s little trouble to make two options available for people who prefer having them listenable as proper podcasts at the start, but with the older ones I’d like to know if there are any you’d like me to tackle first since those are a little bit more work.

Secondly, I strongly urge you all to check out this Twitter thread explaining some of the changes that Patreon is planning to make obligatory for all patrons and creators by October 5th. I still don’t quite understand exactly what this means for any of us, though. I think our pledges will change because they want patrons to pledge in your own currency if you’re from the EU or the UK? Oh, actually, let me make this a question to: since this change is currently still opt-in, would people want me to enable it so you can see what happens to your pledge as a result? (Note that I think it unlikely I’ll be able to opt back out if it’s detrimental to people, but I wanted to at least offer this as an option.)

Thirdly, I’ve crossposted those of the ace lit essays that were and should be public to Medium, so hopefully they’ll be a little easier to access there. You can find them all here, but honestly they’re all reposts of older essays right now. I’m looking forward to getting to share new ones. 😀

Life And Other Such Important Matters

I am exceptionally tired of 2020. I swear it has a personal vendetta against everyone. In my case, August was off to a fabulous start. And then I apparently smashed my toe into a stool so badly it is possible my toe is broken. And, sadly, it’s one of those toes they can do literally nothing about beyond confirming whether or not it’s broken. And then the expected heat wave struck, which okay fine, I anticipated that. I did not anticipate the part where apparently heat waves above around 33 degrees Celcius (that’s, um, 91.4F?) give me a (mild) heat rash no matter what I do.

Thankfully the only thing standing in my way of getting things done is the fact that my computer is in a heat trap room and everything else is just an annoyance and a reason for me to indulge in whinging. That also means, though, that I haven’t been able to record the roll for books for August. Boo! I do have one, though, and aim to do a ramble about my TBR choices and the selected books etc when it is not going to raise the room temperature into unbearable-even-with-a-fan. Thanks, global warming!

Outside of this, though, I’m doing all right emotionally and all, so that’s good. DemiPrincess2 is, I think, finally back on some form of track, so I’m still hopeful I can finish that draft this year. I didn’t think it’d annoy me so much not to have any truly new fiction beyond the Patreon shorts out this year, but here we are. That also means that once I have a bit more buffer, the WIP posts will resume their sporadic appearances!

Stand-out Positive Moment

This may be a bit of an odd one, but this Twitter thread explaining changes that Patreon is going to make for its international customer base (assuming that by ‘international’ one means ‘US, UK and EU only’). This thread is a very good break-down of the changes Patreon’s been working on since February. Personally I’m still strongly in favour of letting patrons pay in the currency of their choice, but apparently that’s just me. Regardless, this thread goes into detail into what the changes mean for creators and patrons in a way that makes sense and explains where Patreon’s numbers come from in a way that’s also clear to those of us who are mathematically challenged, like me.

So now it all makes somewhat more sense at last!

July Newsletter

Hi, everyone! It’s that time again! Monthly news and accountability! This time with an actual monthly update!

Life And Other Such Important Matters

Well. Life has… been a thing that has happened. I’m sure you’ve all noticed me struggling to keep even regular updates going on Patreon. You’d think collecting links and setting goals wouldn’t be a very strenuous activity and easy to keep up, but apparently not.

Short version: Life has sucked this past month. I see no reason to imagine that July will be any nicer, but we can but hope. I do have some exciting and some not-so exciting announcements to make.

Let’s get the not-so-exciting one out of the way first: As of this month, Patreon has decided to charge sales tax. This is basically the US version of VAT, so some of you may now be seeing what non-USians were already dealing with when paying through Patreon. (It’s also a large reason why I won’t give up that $1 like it wants me to. That sales tax can make or break a low tier Patron.) I think there shouldn’t be any sales tax applicable to any of my tiers, but to be honest I already struggle with EU taxes before trying to understand the US system. That’s part of what Patreon is for. But do please let me know if anything needs looking at there from your end!

More excitingly! I have finished a Let’s Play at long last, so expect that to start up soon. I’ve also discovered some audio recordings of short stories in my drafts folder. I should redo some of them because branding and naming, but. For now they will do. I’d love to redo them once everything is sorted. Expect about 2 of those a month from now until about October.

Most excitingly, you’ll see I have continued DemiPrincess2 at last. Well, sort of. This month’s post is still a little bare bones. I’m calling amnesty on link collecting for one more month as it really is annoyingly draining at the end of the month. 🙁
