Frustrated by my inability to do much of anything today. I spent an hour doing some very simplistic drawing this morning and had to spend most of the afternoon asleep.

#WordWeavers 12 Mar: What would your MC enjoy most about our world?

Ah, fuck, I dunno. Our world sucks about as much as his world. It's not that different, it just has fewer androids.

Like, there are consequently fewer organised hate groups whose particular hate is androids, but there are also no laws recognising his rights so...?

#WritersCoffeeClub 4: How do you write the time? In text or numbers? Both? Why?

Goddamn, this is a hard one and I go back and forth on it!

Short answer is I do whatever I think will be least disruptive to the reader in context while staying consistent.

This tends to mean numbers in description and words in dialogue, but it really depends on context and how cumbersome writing out the words would be to read. If the way a character says the time is causing an issue, I recast it.

This is going outside my sphere of influence and I'm trying trying to destress, so muting the convo.

Very crotchety about the entitlement family members feel to have sick people take care of their emotions about the sick person being sick right now.

You have been told that I need space and rest. Forcing a visit so you can give me a 'cuddle' (and telling me 'I know you don't like cuddles' - I do, but not from the person who never cuddled me as a child - that's weird) and make me take care of how upset YOU are that I'm losing my job (which is more important to you than my health) sucks.

>to Garamond for paperbacks. IIRC, I keep things simple for digital and use what the publisher recommends/whatever easily adaptable to different systems.

#WritersCoffeeClub Sep 20: What fonts do you use for paperbacks or drafting/digital?

I draft in Arial because it's what I grew up with and feels friendlier to me. Changing font is the least if my problems when it comes to typesetting, so it's no big deal to change at that stage.

For publishing... it depends. For title pages at least I choose a title that suits the genre/feel of the text. If that font isn't too fancy/disruptive I might use it for the body text as well, but otherwise I default>

Xkit includes a whole bunch of neat tools, one of which is a post block.

#WordWeavers 9/17. Do you mention makeup, hair and beard styles in your work?

Yeah, if it's relevant to the character and interesting to the reader. I find good hair pretty hot so that usually gets a mention at some point or other. See also clean-shavenness or stubble, both of which I enjoy as textual feels. There, uh, aren't a lot of beards in my works - sorry beard fans! I tend to write about what I personally enjoy in erotica and romance...

I need to re-up Oviposition somewhere that's not Amazon (it was too spicy for them). But life is *coming at me* at the moment.

I'm expecting that to ease up towards the end of next week, after which I will be able to devote a bit more time to my erotic works.

Have you considered lately that I write amazing erotic romances about broken boys realising they have feels?

And that you could buy these stories??

nostr:npub1lejz23djaalefkesg4fy8mkhf3k4929gkcpc26lmp08hh7qss9qqyxvl5l This is becoming an epidemic. I can't go a day without losing it anymore.

OK. I obtained the fit note, although it was from a different doctor. There's a bunch of other emails there for me to read, but I just can't. That was the urgent thing I needed to do and it's done.

Still waiting for a fit note from my GP. I've requested it twice this week. I can only assume the receptionists aren't forwarding on my emails in the mistaken belief that it's what the GP wants (they have already admitted to this at least once) even though I am doing exactly what he asked me to do.

Now I can't look at my emails because of the stress. I hate this world and everything in it. The finite is officially overdue.

(Advice on this NOT welcome.)

Thanks to everyone who didn't spoil this movie for me. I'm a little annoyed about the bits that were spoiled, but thankfully they seem to have only been minor.
