Workin' on Dirc and Dyarvos...

I started in on Dirc and the Dyarvos Cafe...and I'm not happy I showed it in this condition. Lots of typos and moments that make no sense, and I'm only 20% through it. Brother, if I'm going to publish my work, I need to either get an editor open to extreme mm erotica or find a way to proof my work better.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'd forgotten some of the things I put in the story. It's almost like I'm reading it for the first time, in parts. Like the involvement of a young guard named Cliff, who Dirc tries to protect from Dyarvos.

I want to get this done and out for Halloween, because it's got a lot of horror aspects to it as well as SciFi and erotica. And Dirc's attitude is a lot more irreverent. Maybe that will perk people's interest. But it's not short. 85K+ in wordage.

Didn't help that I had a nosebleed, today. First in well over a year. Not a gusher but enough to take my focus for over an hour to get it to stop. I pinched my nose, as an ENT had told me to do, once, using a cold wet cloth, then stuffed some toilet paper soaked in Afrin up the nostril. That took care of it, finally. Still a bit iffy, but better.

At the same time, I was setting up driving down to a job in Baltimore, starting a week from Monday. Just transferring files from cabinets into boxes to be shipped to a university, but the donor wants the files kept in order and the boxes labeled. That adds a day to the job.

I'm at a stage in my life where I get lost in what's going on and have to stop and think before I can catch onto what needs to be done or what I was doing. I like to believe I'm doing well, mentally, overall...but can't really verify that. So I'm noting plans in my planner and printing out itineraries and making as many post-its as I can to keep from forgetting to do things.

But truth be told, there's nothing new about that...
