Greetings!

It's been a month since my last update and the news I got is mixed.

Let's start with the bad news first. While I don't have any extremely serious medical issues like cancer, I have a slew of conditions that significantly affect my daily life. Though I'm medicated and slowly making strides in adjusting diet and the amount of exercise I get, there are still issues that people twice my age usually have.

Now the good news. Despite my down days, I feel more active than ever. As one indicator of activity, I've been writing again. In addition to writing non-furry literature, I've also been working on new furry material. I'm hoping to work with more artists like Alioth to help visualize my fiction. I'm in discussions with a few artists right now for future collaborations, which I'm excited about.

I'm still working on my babyfur novel, but the publisher has largely been non-responsive when I've provided work-in-progress manuscripts. We'll see what happens from there.

People have been asking me about commissions again. I appreciate the thought of being commissioned, but right now, the commission process for fiction-writing is time-consuming. I'm also having trouble exercising creative literary control based on someone else's parameters. Originally, I thought it could be done efficiently, but that's not the case. I didn't hit my commissioners up for money or a down payment before writing because I couldn't guarantee a timetable. Now with my medical issues and increasingly busy schedule, I can't guarantee much.

So that's about it!

As always, thank you readers for understanding. I'm hoping to release more stories. Watch this space!
