It has been a rather slow month, as Summer so often is, largely because the weather has been so good. I am always compelled to do things outside when it’s sunny and so it has proven. I’ve also been a little overwhelmed with day-to-day living, so my energy has been lacking. At the start of…

Since the turn of the year, I have submitted 12 stories to various anthologies and naturally this has resulted in some rejections. The last six weeks have been the worst period for this since I started writing again back in 2022. Following this – and a discussion with my writing group back in June –…

Considering I usually take the Summer off, it has been a very busy month. This has largely been due to the poor weather here in Germany, meaning my office space has been much cooler than usual. I also bought an air conditioner. The month has been something of a mixed bag and it’s hard to…

The sad thing is that this has felt inevitable for some time. The shadow-banning and delisting of NSFW content overnight at the behest of payment processors is the latest in a trend of anti-freedom measures perpetrated by ethnonationalists working hand in glove with big business. In a stroke, with no warning, NSFW creators have had…

Today, Monday 7 July, is the day when the old version of SoFurry will be taken offline, with the switch over to the current beta version happening at a later date. You can find more information about the SoFurry site migration here. I’ll probably wait until the new version of SoFurry comes back online before…

It has been a very quiet month, as Summer tends to be. The office gets rather hot and the sunshine often tempts me outside. I tend to dedicate these months to reading, which is something I have only partially achieved due to a range of medical issues that have dominated the last four weeks. You…

May is always a light month regarding my writing. The weather is getting better, meaning I am more likely to be spending time outdoors. Also, I am usually back in the UK attending ConFuzzled, which reduces the time I have to write significantly. This year, I have been in the UK for over three weeks…

The schedule for this year’s ConFuzzled was released on Monday and the gang is back together, with a larger range of writing panels than we did last year. I am only presenting one this year, the Tropes in Furry Literature panel on the Monday at 6pm, but there is lots of interesting events going on.…

I have been away a lot in April, so the main focus has been editing the five short stories I’m currently working on. I did submit a story to my first non-furry anthology in the middle of the month, while I am aiming to finish a couple of these five stories before I travel back…

It’s been a quieter month, but that’s not to say there have been no developments. Firstly, you can still vote for Work “Fur” Hire in the General section of the Ursa Major Awards. If you haven’t yet voted, please do. Meanwhile, nominations are still open for the Cóyotl Awards where Work “Fur” Hire is eligible…
