Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Well, I had fully intended for this to be a long post with a bunch of plans and cool things and whatnot, but, as the header image shows, water damage in my ceiling is taking precedence. The joys of home ownership. Turns our the pipes under the kids’ sink upstairs are leaking and have been slowly for a while and the whole underside of that thing is damaged. Who knows what that’s going to entail. So, with that in mind, here’s a (mostly) throwaway for the week. I’ll either do the intended deep(er) dive next weekend or put out some tidbits as I go through this week on the FB page / Twitter / Instagram.

A quick look at the plan and how that went:

• Residuum
  • Ch 10
  • Ch 11
  • Ch 12
• Catalyst
  • Decide on whether Kahs is appearing in book one.
  • Generic outline for the first quarter. (Up through the First Plot Point)
• Project CT
  • Write the story intro for the game start.
  • Write the story leadup to battle 1.
  • Write the scripted events of battle 1.
• ThemeAttic
  • Fully prepare for a July 1 launch of social accounts and Substack.

All in all, not so bad. I likely could have written Ch 11 of Residuum with how much I wrote and deleted for 10, but them’s the breaks. Also, I did manage to get a lot of plans in place for the July 1 launch, but I definitely can’t say I’m “fully prepared” so I’m not counting it.

This week is going to be a little different. With the holiday and plans and such – and a better understanding of my level of rust – I’m going to approach this one with a dose of extreme conservatism.

• Residuum
  • Ch 11 – progress only, no need to complete.
• ThemeAttic
  • Post social plans on all social outlets.
  • Begin joining places as needed.
  • Get Substack ready for next week’s article.
  • Start using all the socials.
  • Plan the initial several stories for the Substack.

VERY light on writing this week. It’s a prep week and there’s a lot to do at the house. There already was before this lovely event. Now, well, it’s going to be a blast.

Until next week, Dwellers. Where things will start looking a bit different around these parts. Or, well, around other parts.
