Evil Little Dog and I had a leisurely morning and then I took off. over 100 miles on I-64 and not a single rest stop. Not. One. Had to stop at a Pilot truck stop. Finally north of Louisville KY there was a rest stop. It was closed.

I got off the road to find food twice only to see no restaurant anywhere. Dudes if your restaurant is more than a mile off the highway DONT be on the highway sign. Finally found a rest stop just outside of Florence KY (Meaning I'm nearly in Cincinnati) and in there was a mom trying to get her daughter to take a picture talking on the pay phone. Yes you read that right, there was a living pay phone.

Finally found food in a freaking sit down Skyline chili (it's now like 330) and then I realized I'm literally 20 miles from Jungle Jim's in Cinci. I was going to stop there but I was already not getting home until 730 and I'm like are you really up to shopping (I just wanted the cheese) If I had realized I was almost there, I would have skipped Skyline and stopped there to eat.

Rocket is fine. Being here has sent my anxiety up and I hate that. There are things I need to fix because I can't have my home be a place of anxiety.

It's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is #28 A song that makes you feel empowered

( meh, I don't really get that kind of thing from songs )

here's the whole prompt list

( All under here )

Current Mood: anxious
Current Music: The Owl House

Quick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!

I thought about it.

Rating: PG-13
Length: ~2800 words

Author notes: "Late" gave me so many ideas that I couldn't settle on something until suddenly this happened - and it was none of the initial idea, of course.
Summary: Chris is stuck alone on a mission, having been infected by a T-variant and he's sure that help will arrive too late.

Title: All This Time
Fandom: Due South
Rating: G
Length: 3745
Content notes: Major Character Injury
Author notes: Written for Challenge 516 – Late (and also prompts River & Sways). Title shamelessly stolen from the One Republic song All This Time, which I find fits Fraser’s and Ray K’s dynamic so well.
Summary: Ray doesn’t want Fraser undercover at a nightclub with him. Trouble ensues.

It stormed all night and I was afraid it was going to storm the whole way home. I ran down and got the egg/bacon breakfast burrito. The flour tortilla was welded to the paper but the worst of it was it was 90% potato and I don't like potato. But later I found the breakfast buffet that we saw on line but it was only on Sunday so that's why I didn't know about it and it didn't start until 9 after I already choked down that burrito. By the time I left the rain had stopped.

And off the jump the GPS says 9 north's exit is closed. Yeah, no shit, we've been going around it for the last 3 days but you never noticed it was closed then. God I regret NOT going to Union Station because from downtown to 70 E is a short trip. So my GPS tries to go around the closed road or so I think. I figured we were looping around downtown since we don't need to go there.

I couldn't have been MORE wrong. The detour added THREE hours to my 6 hour trip. I was getting ready to pull over and put the address back in for evil little dog's place only to finally see 70 East was my next turn nearly 70 miles away. so it took me nearly 200 miles out of my way. I have no idea why. It's set for either fastest route or shortest but this was neither. It took me 9 hours to get to ELD's place

So I'm too tired for a writerly ways so you get some links

Robby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)

The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.

We're aware of site traffic issues and are working to fix them for the people who are having problems! (The tactics the damn bot traffic uses are endlessly shifting, and they're really good at looking like real traffic, sigh.)

Good afternoon!

It's the end of May and June is about to start, and that means new goals/plans (whether working on current projects, or moving on to new ones).

So with that said, what are your writing plans for June?

Finish and post my fanfic this week.
Work on some editing for my fic.
Send it out to my beta-reader(s) for a look over.
Get some planning/research in for my draft.
Write down a rough draft that's been bouncing around for a while now.
I'm taking a break/I'm too busy to write right now.

Also, how do you feel about your current writing pace?

I'm content with my current pace.
I think should pick up the pace on this one.
I think I need to slow down for the time being.
