This story is based on an encounter that happened in a D&D game I play in. In that game, we're dealing with an angry, vengeful gnoll god who is a major part of the campaign. My character, being the only gnoll in the party, at one point actually hugged the god to let hi...
2021-09-07 12:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith last month’s story taking me so long to finish, I’m behind a bit on this month’s Patreon story. It’s written it, but I still have some revisions to do on it. It’s an idea that came to me a little while ago I needed to get down, so I'm excited to share it with you all. It will be up in the next week after it’s been polished.
2021-08-31 23:43:23 +0000 UTC View PostI got a little behind there since this is for July, but I've finished part 2 of the "The Clockwork Wolf." Enjoy!
I rolled over on my bed. Something had woken me up, and it wasn't the sound of the waves down on the shore below. My ears swiveled and then I picked up the sound. There was music playing in the background still. I yawned and looked at the clock on the nights...
2021-08-15 20:39:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe July story is going to be a little late, but it’s because I realize there are more revisions to do than I thought there would be. When I decided to run “The Clockwork Wolf” and break it up, I wanted to address some issues I’ve had with it. I finally broke down and decided to do was add a sex scene, something my previous drafts lacked. There’s also a lot of dialogue protentional be...
2021-08-01 02:51:04 +0000 UTC View PostRecently, Dwale, a writer, poet, and friend of mine committed suicide. What happened was tragic and sudden, and has affected many writers I know. Dwale (it/its pronouns) was well known in the community and a joy to interact with. Its partner has asked to keep the details of what happened private, but the Furry Writer's Guild organized two events this week to remember it with. For one of tho...
2021-07-16 02:16:36 +0000 UTC View PostThis creepypasta style flash fiction is based on some junk data I ran into at my day job. This idea hit me so hard, I wrote the original draft in thirty minutes. It's not a furry story, but it's something I'd like to share. I'll continue "The Clockwork Wolf" next month.

2021-06-30 15:37:05 +0000 UTC View PostEarlier this month, I took a week off from work and attended an online writing retreat. I've been working on edits to Scars of the Golden Dancer, but I needed a break away from the book. Instead of finishing edits on the novel, my goal for the retreat was to outline The Blood of Life. This is the novell...

The badger grinned and swung the blood splattered executioner's ax in front of himself. "Off with her head," he said, a dark expression on his face, as he pointing to the woman. His simple dark robes were splattered with bright red.

2021-06-01 00:02:20 +0000 UTC View PostI don't have a story for May this month since I’ve been so slammed working on novel edits to Scars of the Golden Dancer. I’ve been making a very concerted effort to get through notes from two beta reads I received, and it’s taking a lot of my energy in May, something that’s been lacking also due to some general life stuff also going on.

2021-06-01 00:02:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey, I've got the April story done now. This piece references the narrator for the the anthology I edited with Slip Wolf, Dissident Signals. I've always wondered what her story would entail, so I wrote a little something about how I envision she began her journey. Slip probably has his own visio...
2021-05-03 02:04:29 +0000 UTC View PostI'm planning to post the April story on Sunday, which is May 2nd. It's taken me a little longer to put together even though it's short due to having a lot of life stuff going on. Novel edits are taking more time then I expected, and I haven't had a lot of time to write and edit in general the last two weeks.
There is some exciting stuff going on though, and hopefully I'll be able to talk ...

2021-04-01 01:52:34 +0000 UTC View PostIt's taken me longer to write this month's Patreon story than I expected, but I have an older piece that I've been sitting on for a while I'd like to share. "Moon Run," is something I wrote about three years ago and have never found a home for. It draws on my personal feelings about getting older and how the world changes around us.

2021-03-01 02:44:34 +0000 UTC View PostI wrote "Same as Me" last year for an anthology that got canceled after the story was accepted. There are actually two versions of this piece, one written for a furry audience and one for a general audience. In both, I try and be very non descript on who the narrator is, although I did use a species in the furry version of the story. No gender is ever provided so the reader can choose that ...
2021-01-27 02:30:07 +0000 UTC View PostI got a little delayed on getting this done and then last week happened. Anyway, the December Patreon story is done! This is more lore from the gnoll druid I'm playing, Ingot. I'm planning to have the character take the feat Fey Touched soon, and I wanted to write a story about someone with an ability like this.

2021-01-13 02:40:22 +0000 UTC View PostThis past year has been the strangest year of my life to live through. Everything happened in 2020, and nothing happened in 2020, both at the same time. The release dates for many anthologies were pushed back, and fur cons after March were canceled for the safety of the attendees. It has also been stressful for all of us, and while we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel with the pandemi...

I’m going to have to apologize that the December Patreon story is going to be late. I’ve been knee deep in novel edits. I’m am down to one chapter left to go over in detail, but it’s taken me a while to get here. That leaves me only 11 pages left to do some major revisions on. Getting ...
2020-12-31 20:40:19 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I finished the first complete draft of “Scars of the Golden Dancer” the book was only 60,335 words. I even proudly tweeted about that. It turns out I was naïve though. The version I su...
2020-12-29 01:40:14 +0000 UTC View PostOne of my challenges as a writer is learning to outline my work. I've often liked to just run things by the seat of my pants, and when I come to roadblocks and decisions, I will sit back and think what to do. The serial, "Every Day is Monday" is a perfect example of this technique, but I also wanted to run that as a loosely flowing story and see where it goes. This works fine for me for short s...

This is quite a bit outside of my normal writing, but the upcoming election here in the United States has been on a lot of people's minds, including mine. I was lying in bed this past week thinking about racism when this piece tumbled out of me. I used to write a lot of poetry in high school, but it's very rare for me to write it now. It's also not furry, but I thought I'd drop it here, if you ...
2020-10-31 19:53:23 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to be a a few days late with the October story, since I've been busy working on a story I need to submit tomorrow night. I do though have the next part of "Every Day is Monday" written, I just need to do some revising. I also have a poem I wrote this week I put on Twitter, I'm going to post right after this.

I've got another story from the perspective of my D&D character Ingot to share. This time, the gnoll is here to tell the story of a volcano his people are familiar with and why no one lives next to it anymore.

2020-09-24 00:45:47 +0000 UTC View PostI'm recently stared playing a druid-skald gnoll in D&D called Ingot. In stock 5th edition D&D, gnolls are just bloodthirsty monsters, but since a furry is running this game, he's created a custom race and given gnolls a very different treatment. It's been fun getting to play Ingot, and to support the character's interest in oral storytelling, I want to write some short pieces of lor...
2020-08-31 16:53:25 +0000 UTC View PostI've written the next part of "Every Day is Monday," but I haven't wanted to post a section until I have part of the next part of the serial written so I don't put write myself into a corner. However, I've been focusing on novel edits for the last month, and it's taken up a lot of my energy. I'll get part three up this week, but I have a different short I''m posting today called "The Gnaw...

In the meantime, for June, I'm sharing something I wrote a few months ago for a submission call that didn't get accepted. This story might be a candidate for some significant reworking later on, hence why I've tagged it as V1, but it will be a while before I did back into it. I had originally wanted this story b...

I'm sure you've seen it from other creators on here, but I should let you know. changes are about to go into effect.
