Applied to 4 jobs this morning. My goal is 3-5 jobs a day. If I let myself get bogged down, I'll burn out and drive myself into the ground. That's what my job did to me. I'm not letting the job hunt do that to me too. Searched Monster, Indeed, and LinkedIn (even if I DESPISE LinkedIn). We'll see.

The Emperor’s Courtesan – Chapter 8 – Karis “I have to attend the full two weeks of court events for the winter festival?” Karis asked incredulously. “Yes, Your Imperial Highness.” Adem nodded firmly. “That’s the instructions I was told to p…

So...lost my job yesterday. They were going to lay us all off by the end of April anyway. They've been looking for a way to get rid of me sooner rather than later for the better part of a year now. -shrug- Oh well. More time for job hunting now that I'm not trying to fit it in around work.

Main system letting us log in is down. I've been told not to clock in until an hour after my start time. That means I have to work an hour later than I want to in order to make up for it. Keep positive, folks! It may be Monday, but we can make it a good one!

The Emperor’s Courtesan – Chapter 7 – Sayana The sixth day came, and Sayana was excited. Today was the day she’d be able to talk to Adjira and the boys. Hannelore intercepted her on her way out of the dining hall after dinner. “You’re to come…

The Emperor’s Courtesan – Chapter 5 – Sayana Sayana woke with a start and stared with some confusion around the room. Where was she? She wasn’t in her room in her father’s house, and she wasn’t in the hiding spot on the street. She heard othe…

A deck of Tarot cards for The Sims 4: Life and Death - cards are similar to the originals, with The Fool, The Magician, The Empress, and more.

as a little treat for release the team was given a physical edition of the tarot cards I illustrated. so freaking amazing to hold them in my hands - its an honor I got to design these (including front packaging!)

Fun fact: writers don't 'finish' books, we just eventually stop editing before we spiral into madness.

wooden pilings in mist

dock in mist mist in mist kissed with mist

shore with mist and biscuit bushes mist with kisses of cloud and mist with water and mist on top of mist with mist

The mist was gorgeous today.

a baleful mist sun seems to admonish the deck and wooden stairs leading to a mournful rock beach

wooden pilings dotting gray water forming a v due to the curve of land

white railed metal ramp leading to dock area with posts seeming to float in the air due to mist

v of land and reflection jutting from left into heavy mist

Also working on another book so even more content for the blog and YouTube eventually. Hope everyone is liking the novels I've been sharing. Lots more coming down the pipeline!

The company that bought mine out a year ago is a train wreck. Lots going on. Most I can't talk about because of...issues. Looking for a new job in earnest right now. Job market is a wreck. Fun times. #jobhunting #ineedanewjob

YouTube video by Madd Archivist Sun Haven Part 4 - Weedly and his dastardly plan

Did a gameplay video of Sun Haven with my messed up audio. All my videos this week have the weird "one ear only" audio glitch if you're listening on headphones. It's fixed for next week's videos. Come check out me and my attempt at foiling Weedly's dastardly plan. youtu.be/x4ggu8L7SFo?...

I apologize for the quality of the audio on yesterday's book video. OBS changed some settings after its last update on the backend and I didn't realize it until someone commented on it during my stream. Fixed it. Will fix next week's recordings. This week's are cooked. #booktube #writingcommunity

12 books, 2 1/2 years, and I've finally decided I'm just going to post the novels over on my blog and do YouTube videos of me reading the chapters for anyone who wants to give a listen. First chapter of the first book in the Valspur Legacy series goes LIVE today! #booksky #writingcommunity

Going to do my usual weekend streams this weekend and then spend Monday trying to get some content created for YT. I've got some editing to do on a few shorts I put together, and I want to do some long plays as well as some shorter videos. Got a lot planned for my day off.

The company that bought the one I work for has a "use it or lose it" policy for PTO. I've got 8 hours of PTO I need to use or lose forever. I was going to extend the upcoming holidays by a day (either one, I didn't care). Both are blacked out. So I'm taking next Monday off for a 3 day weekend.

I am so done with tech issues. Tech issues at work. Tech issues with my home PC. I just want ONE of my pieces of technology to work right. Just ONE. 😭

So I've resurrected my Twitch and YouTube channels. I'm streaming Sims, among other games. I've exported the first of my VODs from my Twitch streams to my YouTube channel. Pardon the poor sound quality. Hopefully should have that fixed soon. youtu.be/YKQzzhGGfiw

If you're curious, no it's not COVID. No one can tell me WHAT it is. I've been sick in one way or another since the end of May so who the fuck knows anymore?
