It's been 2 weeks since I posted last, but I'm still here. A lot has been going on though.
1. DEVIANTART: After the stunt they pulled with the AI imaging, I have been removing my art from the site. Even though the damage has already been done, (since they have stolen the artwork of every single person on the site) to prevent anything else from happening, I'm just going to pull all of my stuff. The thing is, I really love looking back at old comments, so instead of deleting the art posts, I'm just removing the images, placing a placeholder, and archiving the submission. If DeviantArt ever gets their crap together, I've set things up so that I can restore all of the images, but for the moment, I really don't trust them. If you're wondering why I'm still there at all, it's because I make art and write stories as a career and, unfortunately, DA has a very large audience. SO! For the moment I'm slowly removing my existing images and I'll probably just leave either a collage/sample image, or just a handful of submissions with a link that will redirect them here. Ever since I joined FA, I've been consistently active over here and my art has been sliding a teensy, tiny, itty bitty bit more toward the furry side. ^_^; (...you folks did this to me! ...and I love you for it. *hugs everyone* ^_^) So, I'm still here and if things keep going as good as they are now, I'll always be here. ^_^
2. INTIMATE RENDEZVOUS: ...yeah, I've been working on this, too. Thankfully, I'm very nearly done with the writing and I'll be able to move to editing. For the moment, the anthology will just include the 4 existing stories that I have already written about Night and Mhina and one new story focusing on Thorn and Sahara that I'm finishing up, now. There's something about their shared past that I want folks to be able to learn. Their marital relationship mirrors Night and Mhina's, but when it comes to the children, there is a significant difference there that explains a big point about the world of Okanu.
3. COLORING BOOK: So, one of my best friends recently suggested that I take my Sweet Shoppe girls and make a coloring book for them. She pointed out that I have literally HUNDREDS of images from that series, so I should be able to take a few, touch them up/redraw them, and make a coloring book featuring my most colorful host of characters. So, after I finish this book, I'll be working on that. Some of the artwork is, of course, fairly old so they will either have to be redrawn or edited heavily. But, we'll see.
And, I think that's about all. The only other thing that I am considering (but haven't decided) doing is taking the Sweet Shoppe stories that I have been writing in my journals and the hundreds of pages of stories that I have already written (both the ones I posted here and the...I don't even know how many ones I've written in notebooks, but haven't shared) and turning them into books, too. "The Great Flood" on its own is a short novel, but "Miss Catriona Isles" is actually the first story in the series, canonically. Basically, if I can get a table at Anthrocon next year, it will basically be a bookstore. ^_^;
Okay, y'all, I'll be around! ^_^

You are very welcome. Everything's more bearable when you stay on the floofy side, don't you think? And yes, pun intended.
Gotta say, I was wondering if you were going to be doing a Sweet Shoppe coloring book at some point! Long overdue, but you're a very busy lassie, so no sour notes here. Hope to see some more good stuff from you later on!
Yeah, I thought about doing children's books, but not so much a coloring book. If I can finish everything with the romance anthology before the end of January, I should have enough time to work on the coloring book to have it done by June. ^_^
