One advantage of having FurPlanet/Argyll unceremoniously dump twelve of my books back in my lap is that I’ll be able to start looking into advertising my books sooner. I don’t have to wait for Deep Sky Anchor to build up a catalogue of its own first now — it just inherited one.

My goal with advertising will just be breaking even. What I’ve always really wanted for my books is just for people to read them, so I’m really just trying to find more readers. That’s why I’m working on releasing serialized web versions that can be read for free too. Continue reading “Moving Forward, Moving Up”

My mom reminded me last night that when I was a kid, my dad wrote a textbook about how to use word processors for writing, back before people did that.

My divide from the art/writing world over AI this year has been a whole lifetime in the making. Continue reading “Re-Publishing Continues”

Oh, wow, the sheer pettiness of Voice of Dog taking down all my stories they published.

The AI-hate among furry writing is so strong and so weirdly ironic. I mean, that’s a podcast that doesn’t pay writers at all for their contributions. Continue reading “Voice of Dog Taking Down My Stories”

So, since FurPlanet never got around to releasing my collection, Brunch at the All Alien Cafe, before cancelling my contract, I’m taking this opportunity to brush it up a little before releasing it myself through Deep Sky Anchor, hopefully on Pi Day.

I’ve swapped three stories that would have overlapped with either Welcome to Wespirtech or Beyond Wespirtech with three stories that I hadn’t written yet when Brunch at the All Alien Cafe was accepted by FurPlanet. And the new stories actually match the theme better. Continue reading “Releasing Brunch at the All Alien Cafe… Finally!”

Christmas Comes Twice is a sweet little holiday time travel movie starring Tamera Mowry, which was nice since I recently watched through Sister Sister. She plays a high powered scientist who reconnects with one of her teachers played by Sheryl Lee Ralph from Abbott Elementary.

My 16-year-old, after accidentally pouring half a shaker of blue sugar on the floor while decorating a gingerbread house:

“Usually the dogs are idiots because they lick the floor. Right now the dogs are idiots because they’re not licking the floor.”

The Grumpy Cat Christmas movie would be fairly generic trending toward especially mediocre, except it’s furry. There aren’t enough movies about cats, & Aubrey Plaza’s snarky voiceover interruptions along with Grumpy Cat being waved around really elevate it to something… special.
