Hello friends,

Just a reminder that I'm now taking writing commissions at 0.02 cents per page. Check out my Commissions Journal for details and updates.

My buddy  Checkhoff has run into some financial difficulties and could use your help. He's done a couple of wonderful art pieces for me through his YCHs in the past and I'm sure he could do amazing things for you, too. Just check out Kromaliel's Light Party to see what I mean. Checkhoff's available YCHs can be found [/url=https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/checkhoff/folder/1035964/Current-YCH-Avilible]here[/url]


I hope everyone out there is having a good day so far. May things get better for those facing troubles, and my life continue to improve for all.

Interested in seeing your characters in action? Have a story idea, but need a little help getting it off the ground? Want to send your characters on an adventure into the unknown?

I am now providing Writing Commissions. Check out the details on my Commissions Journal and let me know what you're interested in. My main focus is sci-fi fantasy, but I'm open to discussing just about anything.

You can find my Terms of Service here

Just contact me via note, if you're interested.

Hello and welcome!
If you're looking for a story, you have come to the right place. Writing commissions are now available. I am interested in working on stories of any time, though my primary focus is on science fiction and fantasy. Please note that I do not write pornography or hard kinks, though things like casual nudity are just fine.

Commission Price:
$0.02 per word (which equals $20 for 1000 words)

Payment is via PayPal invoice.
In order to have better control over your spending, you are welcome to set a limit on the number of words in your story. The length of a story and type of story will affect how much detail I can put into it, however.

Before commissioning me, please read my Terms of Service
If you contact me for a commission, I WILL assume that you have read and agreed to all Terms of Service.

I currently have three commission slots available:

Slot 1: Avoa Reserved (Awaiting Character info)
Slot 2:
Slot 3:

There are a few examples of my writing in my gallery. Please take a look and see if my writing style matches your needs. Also take a look at these stories for specific examples of commission work:
Date Night for  Catt
Wild Hunt for  Mattspew

Please note me if you would like a commission. When you contact me, please be ready to provide the following information:

Word Limit (optional):

Genre:

Plot/themes:
Tell me about the story you want me to write.

Characters:
Any characters you want included in the story. The more you tell me about them, the better I can write them for you

Setting:
Tell me about the world. The more you tell me, the better I can write it for you.

Perspective:
Which character is telling the story?
Character:

Past, present, or future tense?:

1st person (I/me), 2nd person (you/your), third person (he/him):


If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I admit now that I am new to running commissions, so things will likely grow and change as I find my flow and discover my own needs as well as yours.

Thank you for your interest in my writing. I look forward to working with you.

Hello friends,

For those who might be concerned...I LIVE!!! I apologize for my constant silence here on FA. I actually have a backlog of submissions to make for commissions I've acquired. I just have trouble putting the energy into writing good descriptions to go with them, and I do want good descriptions on my pieces. I'm picky about that.

I want to thank everyone who has followed me over the years despite my lack of regular uploads or original material. You guys are great. I don't know what I did to make you stick around, but I appreciate it, anyway.

Life Updates:
I recently quit my job. Crazy, I know, but I did it anyway. For the last two years I've worked in an assisted living facility and....it turns out that big corporations running such places really want you to be in more than one place at a time. I tried. I really did, but I can't physically do that. My most recent position was as the Activities Director of my community and....yeah....they wanted, basically, two full activities schedules running simultaneously, one for each side of the building, and for me to take time to visit one-on-one with the people who stay in their rooms. All that is important, of course, and I support it all, but I can't do it all by myself and that's basically what was required. So I got out before the decided t fire me or something.

I am no looking for a job. Honestly hoping to get back into libraries again. I used to work in the local library and I think I left my heart there when they fired me. A job similar to that would be nice right now. I'm also considering some other options along with my job search.

Which leads me to the news.

Upcoming Events:
Some of you may remember that I previously considered taking on writing commissions. Given my current circumstances, it seems like a good opportunity to do so! So, I am working on my TOS at the moment. I think it's about ready. I'm planning to officially start taking commissions as of next week. Going to give myself just a couple days more prep time to make sure I've got myself in order. Keep your eyes open, though, and tell your friends! I'll start with just a few slots and see how it goes, then expand from there.

Unlikely as it is, I would love to try to make this my full time job. I'm sure I'm nowhere near where I'd need for that to be viable, but you have to start somewhere, right? No one ever got to be successful by just waiting for it to happen, and I have been complacent for long enough. Watch the journals and maybe my submissions because I will be opening things up next week, regardless of my personal job situation.

Hello friends!

It has been some time since I've posted anything. Longer since I've added a journal. I do hope you're all doing well.

My life is going well, enough, but between work and personal activities, I've let some things slide that I'd meant to better stay on top of. Thus I have a bit of an art backlog to post of things I've acquired. Nothing I've drawn, myself, unfortunately, but I have acquired a few things via YCHs and a few adopts. Ah, adopts...those things I told myself I would never do because, if I should need a character, surely I can just design one on my own! Of course...after I bought Jazmir from a friend of mine, I've found myself oddly more open to the idea. And every now and then...something speaks to me.

So, over the next few days you'll likely be seeing some of these things get posted. I do hope you enjoy. The real challenge, of course, will be finding ways to work these things into my story universe in one way or another. Perhaps the biggest challenge, though, will still be to actually write some of my stories for the world to see. Writing takes time and focus...two things I often struggle to allocate to such things. Discipline. I really must learn some discipline.

In the meantime, I hope all is well for you and I thank you for your patience.

Side note: over the last several months, there have been terrible things happening in the world at large. Unprovoked terrible things. For this my own powers are limited, but my prayers do go out for those who stand in harms way. May peace be restored and justice brought to bear, and may the innocent be protected from further harm.

Not so long ago, I commissioned a YCH and...have yet to see anything from it. Now...this happens sometimes, but...there were a LOT of red flags. I've been suspicious for a little while now. At least it wasn't THAT expensive, but...I'll be more careful in the future to be sure. Perhaps I'm wrong and one day I shall receive art. That would be nice.

Then...today...I saw this, linked by another artist I watch:

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9966528

I highly recommend reading the article and possibly sharing it, yourselves.

Hello, world!

First of all, I would like to apologize. Every time I tell myself I'm going to be more productive and work more on my art or my writing....I don't. Apparently I don't respond well to pressuring myself. I'll need to work on my strategies.

That said, life has been good. I lost my old job back in September, but found another job quickly enough and have just moved today to a shift schedule that might even be more conducive toward my having a life again! lol. Not that I didn't have a life before, of course, but I was working a night shift...and it's hard to do anything during the day when you're trying to sleep. That just changed and I'm hoping that change will make some other things a little easier for me. We shall see.

I want to thank all of you who have been watching me, and all my new watchers out there! I deeply appreciate it. One of these days I'll get something written and posted again!

On a side note, I'm entering an art raffle and I get bonus points for linking it in my journal, so here it is! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40785246/ Also a good opportunity if any of you also want to participate! I figure it's worth a try, right?

My best wishes to all of you. May you find peace and light in your lives.

As the title says, I have returned home after having evacuated from the fires on the West Coast. I'm lucky. My house is still here. Needs to be aired out a bit, but it's here and everything is intact and safe. For this, I'm very grateful. There are many that aren't so lucky. Entire towns have been destroyed and houses have burned, leaving hundreds, probably thousands, displaced and looking for a spot to rebuild. Some will return to their homes when it's safe and rebuild there. Others may very well move elsewhere. My prayers go out to all of them and those still in danger from fires that still burn. I also pray for the firefighters who are working so very hard to get the blazes back under control so that those places yet untouched may remain safe.

My area is still a level 1 evacuation zone as of right now, but it's safe enough we felt we could return. We'll be keeping an eye on things, just in case, but I feel we will be okay. Now I turn my attention back to looking for a job. I have a very good prospect I'll be investigating as of tomorrow. If it goes well, maybe my search will be over. I also intend to start putting an increased effort into house maintenance and into my writing. There are things that need to be done and I need to stop stalling. Bit by bit I will reclaim my life in all the ways I can.

My deepest thanks to my wife's grandparents for housing us for the last couple weeks while we waited to see if we could return home. My thanks to the firefighters in the field and all they are doing. My thanks to my friends who have supported me throughout this situation. I've deeply appreciated all of the support and emotional help as I processed this event, the closest I've been to a true catastrophe in my life. I know I have it easy, but it was easier still with friends.

If you are suffering from a major event and need someone to talk to, I'm here. I can offer my support, my ear, and my prayers. Always feel free to say hi.

The winds have shifted and the fire's have slowed. Sofar as I know our house still stands. The fear is subsiding. While the rains haven't come yet, it feels like things are slowly starting to improve again and I've found myself finally able to relax. I'm still watching, just in case, but I can finally relax.

We are among the lucky ones. We had a place to go that has remained safe. Our house likely still stands, ash covered and untouched. I thank God for all of this. My heart goes out to those less fortunate. Those whose homes have burned. Those who are lost to us now. These terrible events bring many tragedies and I pray that all affected are able to recover quickly.

I thank the firefighters who have fought so very hard to keep us as safe as they can. They are still out there, working to ensure that the area becomes safe again. Fighting to minimize further destruction from the flames, which still burn. I know their fight is hard and I deeply appreciate the sacrifices they are making to save as much as they can. Thank you.

I will continue to update as things develop here, but know, my friends that, so far as I know, we are safe.

Today has been calm. We're at my wife's grandparent's place, waiting to see if our own house burns in the fires. So far the indication is that the fires haven't reached that close yet. We'll see. I'm praying that things stay safe and we can all go home when this is over. Too bad I don't know when that will be.

At least we're safe, though, and the grandparents seem to be enjoying the company. If nothing else, we have that. That counts. Not sure where we'll go if the fires turn this direction, but so long as we're together, I believe we'll figure it out. And that's assuming that even happens. For now, we wait. We watch. We pray.

After a day of stressing and prepping, my little group has relocated to my wife's grandparent's place. It's safer here and likely will remain so for at least a while. I'm praying it stays that way. Also praying that the fires near my town don't actually reach my house. We shall see.

For those that don't know, there are wildfires near where I was living. Been worrying about it all day. Finally made the decision to move out.

I feel like my life is slowly burning away. Lost my job. Fires near my home. Most of the things I own in danger. Saved more than we should have, in some ways. Computers, just the towers. Our Pathfinder stuff. A few art things and a couple writing things. Lots of food and some clothes of course. So many things that will burn if the fires reach my house. So much lost.

There's still a chance it'll all be safe. I hope so. Never been in this position before. If you are of a faith, please pray for us and all the people in our area.

Friday afternoon I lost my job of 12 years. The last day of work before a week long vacation I had intended to use to catch up on a few projects and relax so I could do better at work. A vacation I really wish I could have received. Fine. Now I must look for a new job instead. I can do that. Not what I wanted, but I can adapt.

Before I can get that done, though...my state catches fire. Everywhere, or so it feels. The air is filled with smoke and ash is floating around. There's not an actual alert for my area yet, but we're preparing. Gathering supplies. Deciding what small parts of our lives we want to take with us if the worst should happen. I've heard of these things, but I've never been this close before. Not personally. Even though we're still in a generally safe situation, i worry. I fear what might come. I fear the call that we need to prepare, even though we already are.

Today I was going to call my employer to clarify some information, then file my unemployment. Now...now I can hardly think about that. may do it, anyway, but instead we prepare for what might come. Maybe it won't, but it's best to be ready. This is not exactly what I had hoped when I planned for my vacation.

And here I sit, while those around me are working, typing at my keyboard. Because I want people to know...just in case. I am not currently in danger, but if I disappear, it is because that changed. If I don't come back...I want my friends to be able to find out what happened.

I am praying that all will be fine. That the situation calm before the danger reaches us. I guess we'll see. I'll try to keep this updated when I'm able. Just in case. All in all, I will probably be fine. We have some supplies packed. We have a place to go. We have everything we need and will probably be fine. I've just never been here before.

To those of you struggling with similar problems, or even something completely different, I wish you the best and pray that things go okay. For all of us, I pray that things get better, and soon.

To my friends...I love you, and I will be around.

This is mostly just so that it's easier to update my friends on life events. To everyone else, I appreciate your patience.

As of today I am no longer employed. I was given my letter of termination just before my lunch period today and was allowed to return home. My current plan is to relax and try to enjoy my weekend and then apply for unemployment on Monday and begin looking for a new job. Thankfully, I have a few people in my life that are able to help me, so I'm not without resources. I don't want to have to rely on that, but my point is that one way or another...I'll be okay. It'll be rough, but I'll be okay.

This....it sucks. I've been working at the same place for just over twelve years and have been full time there for over five years now. It's been a long time since I went job hunting, and even then I got very lucky. this will be a new experience. On the other hand...it's also over, and for that I can breathe a sigh of relief for the moment. I'm no longer having to worry about whether I'll manage to keep the job or not. Months of stress, but the decision has been made. I don't know what comes next, but at least now it's a situation I have at least some control over. It's a strange feeling. As freeing as it is depressing. I just know that things are going to change, but somehow things will be okay.

I just want to give a quick thank you to those people who were kind enough to respond to my previous journal. I received three responses here in FA and a few more in private conversation through Discord. For those that don't know, I was looking for some help in narrowing my focus for my writing so that I would stop jumping back and forth in my mind so fast that nothing was getting done. It's...hard for me to pick sometimes and that means I end up doing nothing and the grumbling about it. So many ideas...so little time.

Responses were diverse, so I don't know that it really focused things on it's own, but there was just enough consistency mixed with my own feelings on the matter that I was finally able to pick a direction. Not everyone will get what they wanted to see right away, but I do intend to work on all of those projects that were listed eventually. So thank you. All of you, for helping me focus in again so that I could get something done. I have, in fact, completed one little short piece which will be posted once I've had it edited a bit. I'll try to get that done soon. My next selected project will be a bit more of a challenge, but we'll get to that later, shall we?


As an added note, my friend  Catt is looking for commissions. She's a great artist (did the most recent piece of my unicorn) but is having some financial difficulties. No pressure, but if you're looking for someone to commission, might be worth checking her out. Think of this as one of those little signal boosts.

I shall be trying to increase my activity here in the next few months, hopefully with more writing and possibly some more art. I have another commission I've requested that's on it's way. Eventually, I'll be trying to increase activity on my Deviantart account, as well, but we'll get to that when we get to that.

Best wishes, everyone.

Darkness can only exist in the absence of Light

Hello, world!

This is going to be a bit long, so I apologize now.

For some time now, I have found myself caught between so many things that I'm successfully making regular progress on...none of them. I have games to play, RP stories to work on, movies to watch, and then there's my own writing projects and art practices that I want to do, but never seem to make time for. Part of the problem, I'm sure, is a certain lack of discipline on my part. I work a full time job and I'm part of...at the moment it's 3 tabletop RPG groups. I have become very protective of my free time. Perhaps too much so. When I have time to myself, I either spend it with friends, either online or in person (within limits given the current COVID situation), or play a game (recently I've been revisiting the Halo universe), or watch a show I've been meaning to get to. Around all of this, I must include a few chores, some of which I'm well behind on because I have problems there, too. I do believe I have overwhelmed myself.

I do, though, want to get back into writing. I want to get back into art. Often when I make the attempt, though, I find myself staring at the screen, either unsure which personal project I should work on, or trying to figure out the next sentence to write, drawing a blank, and lacking enough will power to push myself through it and get started. Ironically, I can think of lots of things while I'm at work, but as soon as I get home, the distractions kick in.

My theory, then, is that if I can narrow down and prioritize my projects, and then convince myself to dedicate just fifteen minutes a day minimum to working on them, I'll finally be able to get somewhere. Which would be good since I really want to become more active here. You have all been so patient with me, those of you still watching, and I deeply appreciate it. I know I've made promises before, and I'm sorry I have failed you.

This is where you come in. I'm going to list several possible projects that I want to work on. I would like your opinions! What would you like to see happen first? What worlds interest you? What adventures do you want to read? Please ready through my list here and tell me what you'd like to see next. That will hopefully give me a little focus toward working on said project and maybe getting something done. then we'll move onto the next one and so on. I can't promise everyone will get everything they want, but with you as my guides, perhaps we'll all get to see a little something extra soon.

Possible Projects:

Short story: Dr. Alcott has seen something he can't truly understand, but he knows he must keep it secret. One of his patients was seemingly abducted by...a shape shifting robot? How is that possible? This would be a journal entry follow up to my short piece in  Lurdanjo 's MERVAS universe. I'm not sure exactly where the story will go yet, but I did love working with these characters, so fun things very well may happen.

Longer story: Eltan is the last of his kind. He's watched his world fall and mourned the death of his race. Now he waits for his own demise and dreams of a universe where he could have somehow saved therm all. If only he'd had the power to change things. Then he discovers a crashed ship. A strange, crashed ship. He can sense memory within it. Memory from outside the space-time continuum. When he enters, he discovers a strange man in need of help. This man's past is under attack. An offer is made. If Eltan can save the traveler's past, he'll be granted the ability to save other worlds from the fate of his own. This would be the beginning of a series of adventures that would be part my own work and part fan fiction using elements and events from many different shows, stories, and games.

Longer story: Anderoth is the runt of his clan. While he wishes to be a warrior, the other refuse to train him. He's too small, they say. They would have to look after him and risk their own lives doing so. It's just not worth it. Unable to let his dreams die, though, the young cat-like Felrin keeps seeking a mentor. Then his village is attacked by creatures from another world. When their chosen guardian falls, Anderoth grabs the amulet that protects his people, feeling a great need to keep it out of enemy hands, and flees. His adventure will lead him toward his future mentor, the unlocking of great powers, and the exploration of worlds he'd never dreamed of. This would be a longer piece broken up into chapters and may eventually become one of my published books, if I ever get my series off the ground.

Short Story: Ricky is a young male wanting to explore the possibilities in life, but if often too timid to do anything too adventurous. His curiosity takes him to the local club to watch the dancers in an attempt to explore his desires a bit more. When one of the other patrons starts pushing him to do more than He's ready to, it's one of those dancers that steps in. This piece would just be a short story featuring a few new characters plus the briefly introduced Kaiden seen in one of my own past drawings! I know you don't know Kaiden, but he's awesome. Please note, while the story does take place at a strip club, I do not intend to do anything too explicit, but I will be having some fun with it.

Short Story: I had a "vision" a while back. A short story idea that outlines some of my own inner struggles with the conflicts between my desires and my faith. This piece would be a personal representation of that conflict, which does continue to this day, but I'm willing to write it out and share it with you.


As an alternative, I do have an art course I bought online and need to continue. If you would rather see art from me rather than stories, let me know and I shall put greater focus into continuing that course. If you look in my gallery, you'll see the beginnings of my work there. Not very impressive yet, but by the time I'm done, I'm hoping to have gained enough skill and confidence to begin bringing my characters to life through drawing. It will take a bit of time, but you'll come along with me on the way, and eventually we'll all see more of my furs, dragons, and other things fill the pages of my sketchbook.


So let me know what you think! I look forward to seeing what you would like to see from me. And once that's been narrowed down, maybe we'll all get a little extra fun as I finally start getting myself to work. Little at a time, one step forward and then another. Eventually, hopefully, all of these things would happen and more!

Wish me luck, world!!!

This week is my wife's mother's family reunion. It's at a location eight hours away from where I live and will probably be totally awesome. People will be taking precautions to keep safe, so hopefully there will be no issues for health. I hear there will be some great hikes and lots of family games and such.

I am...not going.

I'm a paranoid person in many regards, and while those going left this morning, I have stayed behind to avoid any higher risk of catching good ol' COVID than is necessary. I just don't want to risk taking it to others when I get back. My coworkers. those friends I HAVE been i contact with. The people my library hands books to. That sort of thing.

What I AM doing is jump starting my writing career! It's been while since I just made time to write. It's hard, around a forty hour a week job, to find time to write. Especially when I am a social creature who loves taking my free time to spend with friends. I have spoken before about re-balancing my schedule. So far...i'm not good at it, but I shall keep trying. I will also be attempting to get some art done, as well. So...I have still taken this week off and will be as productive as I can.

When I DO go back to work, I shall have to put a little more effort into establishing my writing schedule. It shall be a challenge next week, fitting in some writing time, but I think I can make it work. Just need to work a bit with those I live with to make it happen.

What does this mean for you? I am hoping to work myself into a more regular production schedule, which means I'll have things to post. For those few of you who have been so very loyal as to still be watching me...you may get to see some stuff soon! In fact, I wrote a short story just this morning that I hope to post once it's been through some checks and editing. More should come soon. More writing. More art. Maybe enough to even warrant all that loyalty you've given me so far. Thank you for that, by the way.

Wish me luck, my friends. These changes are not easy, but I shall try again! I shall keep trying until it happens. You deserve it. My characters deserve it. I deserve it. Keep your eyes open. I'm going to do my best to make a comeback and build up my fantasy world for the entertainment of all!

Hello, world!

It has been...far too long since I've said anything here. My apologies. I DID finally finish posting my Vielthon story not so long ago. I hope that was enjoyable for you.

It is difficult for me to focus on my artistic endeavors. I work a full time job and am involved in a couple of social circles and spending time with my friends is very important to me. When I'm not busy with work or friends, I'm often trying to catch up on games I want to play or binge watching shows I want to catch up on. I admit, not the busiest schedule if I'm honest with myself, but it feels busy and with limited time left over in my week after work and necessary sleep, it's just hard to find time to write or draw. I suspect many of you feel the same way about your schedules.

I do, however, want to work on my writing and drawing more. I want to start being more consistent. I want to start developing my skills. On the other hand, I've also been overwhelming my own mind with the number of projects I want to work on and thus have successfully stalled my ability to work on any of them. I am tired of stalling myself. I am going to try to take some action.

So...I may very well be starting an online art course here in the next few days to begin really developing my skills. You've seen a sample of some of my work. It's not bad, but there's a long way to go before I'm at the level I want to be. Practice is what I need, but I intimidate myself whenever I look at a blank page, and if I don't pull up the right references...I stall out completely. (Note to self, finish the Jazmir project I'm working on before taking the class.)

For writing...I feel I'm actually a fairly good writer. There's always more to learn and more development to be had, of course, and I know I need more practice, but I'm much more comfortable with my writing skills. There's a lot of projects I could do for writing. For now, my intention is to start working on more short stories that I can post online. The problem here is that I have, as previously stated, a lot of projects vying for my attention. I may be jotting down a list and asking for your opinions in the near future. Be on the lookout for that!

For now, I wish you all the best of luck on whatever it is you're working on. Always do the best you can do and be the best person you can be.

Darkness can only exist in the absence of Light.

Hello world!

I think it's apparent to those of you who have been following me for a while that...I didn't do a good job of keeping my sketches going. Yeah...I think I need to apologize to both you, my followers, and myself. It's hard for me to sit down and draw. I get nervous, for one thing, and when I look at a blank page I have trouble figuring out where to start. Sadly, I haven't really drawn anything substantial, myself, since I put my fursona in the green ranger's armor. I do have a few ideas, but I'm having trouble finding time and personal motivation.

On the bright side, you might have noticed a few new things in my gallery of late. At least I've gotten a little bit of art acquired! And I now have a new character to develop. Rashida holds quite the potential.

I do want to give a warm hello to my newest followers over the last couple of months! I appreciate your decision to stick around! Especially given the lack of regular updates I do. Maybe I should put this on a schedule of some sort. Just not sure what part of the week would be best yet. You guys are all awesome, though, and I hope that while my submissions tend to be rare, they will be pleasing for you.

On that note, there are a few things I need to finish updating. Expect the last few sections of my Vielthon story soon!

I hope you're all having a good time out there. May your days go well and your opportunities for joy be boundless.

Hello friends,

As I said before, I'm trying to start drawing again, and you may have noticed that I have a few pieces submitted all of a sudden. Surprise!!! Right now I"m just working in pencil in a sketch book, and those don't have the easiest time in a scanner, but I'll submit the best that I can when I can and someday, when I've gotten really good at this whole art thing, I may come back and actually ink some of these so they're a little more pretty.

All that said, I'm afraid I don't have a submission schedule set up, and I'm not going to for now. I've had a hard time trying to do things like that in the past. So, I will submit when I have new things to share, but I don't know exactly what the frequency will be. I hope you can be patient with me on that. To those of you who have been patient with me so far....thank you again! You guys are awesome!

In other news, I've also been writing again lately, and I'm toward the end of my latest story. Not sure exactly when yet, but I'm hoping to submit it here in sections for your entertainment.

Enjoy!

Hello to everyone who's following me. I'm actually honored by all of you. Especially given my near complete lack of activity over the last couple of years. Why some of you started following me I'm not sure I know. Still, I appreciate it.

On that note, I actually have good news! I'm am slowly working my thoughts toward being creative again, and that means I might actually be posting here soon! Huzzah! I've got a few things I'm thinking of adding to my page here. Hopefully within the next week. I don't know how regular updates and uploads will be (I'm honestly not good at this sort of thing, it turns out), but it's my hopes to start giving you something to see for all your trouble of clicking the watch button.

So, thank you for being here. It shouldn't be too long before your patience is rewarded. And it's a pleasure to meet you all! I look forward to seeing your thoughts on my art and stories.

I warn you now, my drawing skills still leave much to be desired. I need a lot of practice. I am working on some writing pieces, though, and while I'm not 100% sure which ones yet, I'm hoping to add some samples of that, as well. I have a bit more practice in that area, so hopefully you'll enjoy.

Till then, take care of yourselves.

Well, it's been quite a while since I started considering posting some art here, but behold, it is now done! Posted my first piece. Not drawn be me, sadly, but still amazing. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/15533545/

It was an art piece done for me by my dearest wife. tera633, who can be found here: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/tera633/

She hasn't posted much in FA, either, but you can also find us on Deviantart.com where we have posted a bit more.

Who knows, maybe I'll get even more art to post! Maybe I'll even get up the nerve to try to draw some more art, myself! Anything's possible, right?

So, I have a friend that's interested in doing commissions for people. Currently, he's offering art in exchange for steam games. Since he's a friend, and since he's a fairly good artist, I figured I'd forward the idea in case anyone watching me was interested. Take a look at his journal, then glance through his gallery and see what you think.

So, I've had the sudden realization that people are actually watching my account! Talk about exciting. Especially since I believe I still have submitted nothing to FurAffinity. To you who now watch me, thank you. I appreciate your support.

I have mentioned previously that I might start submitting some things here. Given that I have watchers, it seems only fitting that I do so. Not sure exactly what yet, but I think it important that I throw up some of my work. Maybe even draw or write something new. I am behind on a few projects I've promised some people.

Now, I have a trip coming up at the end of this week that will keep me busy till at probably mid next week. After that, though...once I've settled back in to my own home again, I'll see what I can do for you.

In the meantime, for those who are interested, I have joined a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon group on DeviantArt, and have submitted a few stories there as part of that group. As those stories are part of the group, I think I'll lave them there, but I would love for you to read them and let me know what you think.

I do have some side projects I may end up working on that I am hoping to post as well. Once I get things rolling with that, I'll be sure to post them both on DA and here so that everyone can enjoy.

Hello friends and random people alike.

For your information, and in the hopes it will push me to function, I thought I'd let you all know that I'm planning to start working on my arts again. First and foremost that will mean working on my writing, though I'll likely be popping out a few drawings here and there, too. I'll be posting the drawings to my DA account, though I might post them here just for fun as well. We Shall see.

The writing won't be posted much, I'm afraid, but I may decide to post journals on my progress, and you're welcome to ask about it, too, should you feel like it. If I do end up writing a story that I'm comfortable posting, I shall do so. For now, just know that I'll be working on my arts again, and hopefully your knowing will push me to make progress.

A while back I submitted a journal asking anyone watching if I should start submitting some of my limited artwork here on FA. I have some on my DA account already, though it's been a while since I did anything there so I should probably submit something there again one of these days.

Anyway...I got no response. Not that I'm surprised. I'm not exactly being watched by very many people here. I mean...I've done nothing here except look at art and watch a few people I'm either friends with or liked the art of. Not exactly something that gets a lot of notice.

Eventually, I'll probably submit something here regardless, but I can't help wondering....when will I become active...and how long will it last this time? I've made promises before that I've had trouble keeping. Just the way I work, I suppose, thought I'm not proud of it. Still...I know there's a couple people out there watching, so I'll ask again...think I should submit something? maybe try to become active for a little while? maybe even try to get inspired to draw a little now and then?
