Hey there, everyone.
Rather than just posting this on Patreon or Ko-Fi (here are my sites if you’re curious: https://www.patreon.com/c/foxgamer01 https://ko-fi.com/foxgamer01 ), I’m posting this on all three of my art accounts. Not FurryNetwork, though. It had some troubles to the point where I gave up on it.
Yeah, this is an excuse to eliminate the old journals that have been here since March. That and give you a taste of what I’ve been doing on Patreon and Ko-Fi.
So far, the writing part is going well. I’ve completed the rough draft of my Secret Santa gift, which I’m in on a Discord server. I hope that the fellow loves the story I wrote. I might write the final draft today, but no promises. I’ll also start writing a Patreon commission story tomorrow. Speaking of Patreon commissions, I’ve finally given the green light to post a Patreon commission. It’ll be released a week early on Patreon, so if you want to read it before the public does, join my Patreon. You can support me for as little as $1 to read stories a week early and my rough drafts.
I’ve also been plotting a story’s background, which is so far a short story but might end up as a bigger story.
In other news, Christmas time is here. I’ve made an Amazon wish list for Christmas, which you can see here. Now, this is entirely optional. You don’t HAVE to send me a gift. This is something for those who WANT to send me a gift. Again, I’m not begging, urging, or demanding any gifts. If you do, I’ll be very thankful.
Again, please send me a gift only if you WANT to do it.
Now for the weekly writing advice, which will touch upon previous topics I’ve discussed. When you’re writing a story (whether it’s a short, a novel, or a series), there will be those who won’t like what you wrote. Perhaps they felt that a character was poorly written. Or they thought that the ending sucks, whether it’s too meanspirited, dark, depressing, etc. The temptation is there to write out a message to your readers, calling them fools for it.
My advice: don’t. Sure, you may feel that your readers missed the point in your character. Maybe they missed the entire tone you’re going for, which they only realized at the end and reacted badly to it. Regardless of your feelings, insulting, demeaning, or dismissing your readers for it’s not a good idea. All it would do is make it less likely for them to follow your future work since you angered them that much.
Besides, perhaps what you wrote did have that flaw; all you did was double down on it.
Have a good day, everyone!

You know foxgamer01, there are items I also like to get but can't afford either. You and I are in the same boat when it comes to christmas presents, and where the economy is going isn't really helpful.
