    Pretending to work and worrying that a story I have written doesn't have a plot. So, I suppose losing the plot.

    Okay, going to work now. Just a few more minutes. I need to Google a few inane things and then I might be ready. :p

    Are you still sitting around with a purple face? Or was that just a Sunday activity?

    Edit:
    Then I feel them pooping into existence, adding to the previous second, forming the mound of seconds that comprise my life in this outhouse of my world, only for the next second to prepare itself. Eventually, the mound will grow high enough to block the anus of my existence, preventing the pooping of the next second, and then I will die. Not to stretch a metaphor or anything.
    That is what I am doing and will be doing...for some time.

    Nothing yet. I'm trying to get as wide and deep understanding as I can get before actually starting.

    I'm planning to make my own Youtube channel.

    That's one reason I post so often still photos. I'm heading towards mixing visual and textual story telling + seeking a bunch of visual styles which suit me and my way to handle content.

    You can get a hint of something from this thread...

    https://www.writingforums.org/threads/where-do-you-get-your-ideas-”.162685/

    and also from my progress journal Aspie's Pipeline.

    It is coffee time in my slice of the Caribbean. A flock of green parrots (cotorras) has settled in the woods like a gaggle of noisy tourists released from a cruise ship.

    Killing time until my appointment at 14.50, as my doctor no longer has a drop in surgery.

    Right now? Typing this since the computer network at work is down for maitenance at the moment. Some big problem they can’t wait to fix after hours.

    More in general? Well, I have alot on my plate unfortunately...
    1: I work full time, meaning I am home around 16.00 most days.
    2: I have over 500 movies/TV-shows that I intend to watch.
    3: A pile of 50 books I intend to read.
    4: The dogs and chickens need their attention, too.
    5: Maybe 50 cd’s as audio files that is in need of editing before I put them in my MP3-player.
    6: My writing, which unfortunately is the easiest one of them to down prioretize....


    So maybe I should stop looking at forums and work on more important matters, otherwise I might never get any of them done.....

    Experimenting with wallet designs. There's a card sleeve wallet called the Kamino, made out of paper. Supposed to be durable but I don't see how. Anyway they sell for $20 so I decided to make my own. There's a closable part for the bulk of your cards, then when the flap is closed, you place your quick access card over that. The back has a pocket for cash.

    Very cool idea!

    I just ate some delicious pizza and now I'm browsing the forums. I have to study for an upcoming test, but eh...I have a few days to spare ;)

    Anyway, I think short story #1 might have inadvertently sparked a world-building project. I currently have some bullet points, nothing more, but it's certainly bubbling the creative juices!

    Short story #2 might take place in the same world, but most likely in a different period, maybe after short story #1. The thing is, both short stories are the complete opposite in terms of their content, so how do they end up in the same world?

    Ye Gods, I'm already rambling...(send help pls)

    Do they not do them in England?

    OT: Wasting time after work, about an hour before I lay down for bed. Keeping to that routine pretty good now just gotta get better at plugging habits and projects into it. Self-improvement and mental health recovery are interesting things. You see how far you're coming and feel proud of it but at the same time how far there is to go is still in view and it pits your stomach. You wish it could all pull together at once but...it doesn`t.

    It`s coming though. At least part one of the hotel`s March Madness is done for now. Wrestlers and hockey players both left. Part two is just getting the hotel back up to snuff, then the manager being gone for two weeks, followed by a concert/extreme ice sporting event, and followed up by...idk what it is but we`re not allowed to request the last few days of the month off so it can`t be good. Gonna be a long month.

    Off tomorrow though hopefully, I can get a few good Pomodoro's in and make some momentum. Mother is right, there`s something missing from life we just have different views on how to remedy it. That`s tomorrow's burden though.

    Still haven`t gotten my shamrock shake.

    Facing a mortal fear. I'm going to DL and play the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo.
    If I'm being real, it's stupid that a video game can do this to a grown man.

    Nope. No shamrock shakes in England. If we had an equivalent, I imagine it would be a strawberry shake for saint George...but as they already sell strawberry shakes...
    We're not one's for celebrating saints, or being patriotic generally. Having said that, I have seen the odd English flag, but that's usually to do with football. :rolleyes:

    Hmm, while I was recently on vacation I had a Shamrock Shake.

    And some sort of 24 hour stomach bug.

    Suffice it to say that my associations with Shamrock Shakes are no longer entirely positive.

    I last shit myself about a month ago.

    Threw up first in the sink. That felt good and then pushing the vegetables down the plug hole. But the second part came without warning, and I was at work and shit my trousers. I had to wear a tea towel on the night shift.

    All material for novella. Will never Shamrock shake, vile.

    Trying to wrap my head around the procedure for bringing @Cave Troll to Ireland permanently. It's either very complex or weirdly simple, but I can't define which. :confuzled:

    I mean I`m not sure if Americans our ones for celebrating saints as much as we just like holidays. The Catholic holidays American culture at large have appropriated end up having really little to do with there original intentions. Even the Catholics I know still just treat them like drinking days but then again...they are catholic.

    Overslept a bit, still not a to late start to the day even if it is almost nine. Overjoyed to be off of work, may or may not go out for a Shamrock shake today may just stay home. Hoping to get a start on things works been draining too much for. Writing, laundry, coding practice, paperwork and etc. Ready to start embracing life as a storyteller more, because it`s either that or embrace life feeling empty and tired. Got ideas for more medium articles, a video essay, and (once again) a podcast. Let`s see where they lead. I also really need clean clothes

    Should get started on all that.

    just get a veterinary certificate and ensure his rabies jab is up to date... don't forget that you need to be a registered keeper under the dangerous wild animals act.

    You forgot microchipping. :p

    I wouldn't class him as dangerous, but probably wild. :supergrin:
