After figuring out a timing issue for a particular plot event, the notes for the rest of this arc have been expanded and are ready to go!

Just need to get through tomorrow and I will be able to turn my attention fully to writing the chapters (my luck not withstanding).

Those with guest characters in this arc, I may need to tap you for information if something extra comes up unexpectedly. Wouldn't be the first time I've chased an idea and things have improved as a result.

So, this hell week just keeps on kicking. Doing my best to get the notes expanded, two chapters to go but can't really focus no matter how hard I try.

In order of occurrence:
Dishwasher Failure. Still to be seen by repairer. That will be my Thursday. Unknown cost.

I know, I know. I promised things would be quicker. That was with regard to the month of freedom to write I have just entered into . Unfortunately, a lot of things needed my attention leading into it. Then I needed about a day or two to refocus onto writing, which I am currently doing, all while trying to manage more bad luck in my life. But that is at least being handled so I don't need to worry about it right now.

A little stress/worry off my mind. My parents have tested negative to COVID so the self isolation is lifted and can now go deal with medical side of things for them, which is what I am about to do.

Regarding the Q&A, I am still very open to questions people have with the same limits as before.

Ironically, just got my mind back into John's mindset for writing. Oh well. Life happens and I'd rather get my parents to a GP first.

Tael.

Had a bad day where I got messed around by the health system so badly trying to get my parents in to see GPs that they are now awaiting COVID test results just so they can physically go see a GP because part of their symptoms is coughing. Couldn't get tele-health appointments and get screamed at by the health department if I take them to hospital for what is only the local bug going around. So, as their carer, what am I supposed to do? My dad needs antibiotics or it will turn into pneumonia

Why the title? Because this:

One thing I've been trying to research in the past week, and failing to find much on, is zebra (cutie/glyph) marks. In particular, I am trying to create one but am really not sure how to go about it. I want to be more respectful to the designs than just slapping (describing) an image like a pony cutie mark, ie a football.

New chapter was to go live today (in fact about now) but I'm just not happy with its ending. Will work on it more and hopefully be only hours/a day or two away. This can be ignored. The first chapter of the second main arc is now live.

Tael.

Finally shaken all but the last of the bug, which has done a number on my memory, and am getting better focused on the story again. Doing so, I realised something. Looks like I forgot to name the village John arrived at so many chapters ago after escaping her cell. Or, if I did name it, I can't find it. So, looking for a bit of help.

Sorry, been sick all week. Something one of my sisters generously shared with me last week. Almost fully recovered now. Hit me mid sentence working on the chapter, didn't want to ruin the scene by pushing forward as I crashed, and spent some time frustrated that it had happened. Bonus is that I thought of a slight change to the coming chapters and can bring it in with almost no one knowing what it was. Along with splitting headaches, my eyes were so sore I could barely look at any screen for
