2 days ago we had a very unexpected and very sudden family tragedy. No, I'm not okay, and neither is most of my family, but, to be honest, it would be more f-ed up if we were okay. I'm sorry I haven't been at my computer; I love you all and will catch up with your messages in a week or so after 1/2

Write the book in your heart to write, the book you wanted to read and couldn't find--no matter how weird or genre-mashing or market-saturated. With eight billion plus of us walking around on this rock, surely many will quite enjoy it together with you (though reaching them is a whole 'nuther. 😅)

15 years ago I used to scoff at the notion of ever writing stories for kids, but now that so many people I love are having kids I'm like, "Hm, what sort of stories did I want to read, but couldn't find, when I was that age..." It's like I hit 30 and became instantly Aunt Pilled lmfao.

The other day I was praising my dog for not being a counter surfer and ofc he would decide one day later to counter surf for chicken cutlets. 😔 (Chicken is the ONE meat he's allergic to.)

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Several years ago, when things were bad, as they are now, I made a comic about art and community in the face of hate. Today feels like a time to reshare. 1/5

BHAHAHA OH MAN, it's nostalgia hour. I remembered that Tammy & Jet had their own Subeta-pet versions of themselves. They are (blessedly) still functional. I coded & drew these in late high school/early college, and they won pet awards in the late 2010's lol. I was very proud of them at the time. <3

Seeing more and more artists I love move their art to an art discord group/tg group as a response to algorithms and I really hate it. I'm a naturally very un-social person and the level of intimacy and constant chatter in discord/tg groups is far too much for me to mentally handle.

And, yes, I occasionally cap on the Ursa Major Awards; it’s not uncommon for a prolific author with a handful of motivated fans to swamp the nominations, so 4 out of 5 nominations in a category go to them. Since the UMAs refuse to address that, we need more motivated fans of other authors. :)

Lol, sorry I dropped off the face of the earth, friends. I've been VERY prolific on my latest manuscript, so I can at least say I vanished for a good cause. 😂 (It's not furry though, I'm sorry friends.)

Additionally, while we are on the subject of furrylit and the UMA's, here is my stance on the AI debacle. Absolutely 0 shade to you if you disagree, but if you want to keep the AI out of furry awards, I think you should vote.

The Ursas are finally open for nominations, and my first novel (Quicksilver) is eligible to appear on the ballot! I first discovered furry lit through the UMA's in '04, so it would mean the world to my if y'all could vote so I can appear on the ballot. ursamajorawards.org/nominations....

It's more important than ever to LET PEOPLE LIKE SIMPLE STUFF WITHOUT INSERTING YOUR NEGATIVITY INTO THEIR LIVES AND FEEDS. If you don't like that movie/show/song/franchise, fine. Great. Be happy someone else is finding a simple, goofy joy in this hellscape even if it's not your particular joy.

I'm peak jealous of authors who have the ability to just post all kinds of candid, extra material about their mc's from whatever their recently released book is as a type of marketing. For me, finishing the story is like exercising a demon, once it's done, I seldom think of its character again. 😂

Usually I don't mind winter but RIP my pipes, they are ALL frozen and, despite my best efforts, I can't get them to thaw. 😂 This 9 degree (-12 for you Celsius people) needs to leave, I wanna eat and shower at my own house lmfao.

Right, so tell everyone you know friendos about my urban fantasy thrillers featuring the modern-day remnant of an ancient clan of werecats, torn apart as militaries on three continents vie to exploit their deadly talents. Because if you don't, who will? storyoriginapp.com/collections/...

Apparently it's Goblin Week, so have some more old DnD art! This is Quen! She left her tribe to become a wizard, and is currently hunting the villain who killed her favorite teacher. This pic makes her look gentle, but she's actually rather fiery n crass (in a cute way lol). #goblinweek #dndart

in my experience the genuine male feminists are just like, nice to women and treat them normally and don’t start podcasts or seek awards for it. performative behavior should always be a red flag.

Sometimes a look and a smile that is reciprocated, says much more about what is happening between two people than a lot of words <3 A new colored sketch of Ángel and Taylor. This time inspired by this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOJ0... #furry #furryart
