Good morning, folks.

God dammit. I try to hold to my personal vow to stay current with journals and writing and streams, but November once again found me in the creative sticks.

I point the finger at work. Adult responsibilities suck!

But that doesn't mean I haven't been conceptualizing, at least. The biggest thing I'm thinking of is how to make streams more interesting to you guys. I totally get that watching a guy writing words on a computer is not that engaging unless they can talk and work at the same time. I'm sorta able to do it, but it can pretty hard for me, especially when I'm in the process of putting together an amazing scene.

So I'm not reliable as far talking is concerned.

But I was watching Gannadene one day. I follow him mostly because:

A) He makes amazing monster girls and I recommend you all check him out; and
B) He's almost always showing a movie on stream, in a small window underneath whatever project he's working on.

I thought about this and watching the chat, I realized that I can do the same thing. Except rather than focusing on Hollywood blockbusters with giant copyright laws defending them, I can show off the weird and strange things that don't have questions of copyright looming overhead. Things like... low budget B-movies, silent films, and maybe even a few independent Lovecraftian films if I can get the permission of the filmmakers (several of whom I know personally thanks to NecronomiCon).

I just need to figure out how. Resources have been pretty scarce in explaining this, so please leave a comment or DM me if you have any insight.

Don't forget to Watch me here for hopefully more regular updates in the future. Here are my obligatory links.

P.S. I got my fursuit at MFF (which was amazing, by the by, even though I have PCD like nobody ever knew) and he is absolutely adorable! Look in my gallery for the best results on his debut shoot!

Now excuse me. White fur dirties very easily.

Ugh, what a week! 

So, work has been just grrr. Nothing wanted to work, so it made me really hyper-stressed. Didn't wanna do anything for a while. But things have been fixed finally and I'm actually feeling pretty good.

Overtime, beaches! hahahaha

So now that stress is gone, I actually feel good about getting back to work and really making a strong attempt to satisfy the promise I made myself when I made my Patreon. Time to get off of my lazy ass and actually do some real work!

So at long last, I'm going to be streaming! I'll mostly be working on pony fanfics, I think, along with flash requests for anybody who wants to join in. Feel free to join me over on Picarto, where you can listen to me moan about how awful work is!

Or something happier. I don't know. Actually feeling pretty good right now.

Anyways, I'm live now! So come on over!

Good morning, DA.

I suppose if I'm serious about writing, I should start making an effort to actually use this DA profile for more than commenting on and liking waifu trash.

So this is it! My first journal entry. If I'm disciplined about this, I should use this space mostly for announcing streams, publishing my own pieces of fanfic, and publishing queues.

Just to provide a little bit of background: I currently work in digital marketing as a social media specialist, but have been writing as a hobby for most of my life. I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Creative Writing and have successfully published 3 stories over the course of my college career. One was a self-published novella that had a 6-month run on Amazon, and the others are short stories published in college magazines.

I really want to start doing this as more than a hobby. It is my dream to one day own a publishing house and to host retreats for young writers who want to improve their craft and accelerate their career. I have a Patreon page setup to help me reach that goal. Also consider following me on Picarto to keep an eye on what I'm up to and get some advice on how to succeed in today's market.

I realize this is not a very good journal post, but what can I say? I do fiction, not autobiography haha.

Anyways, here is also my commission info for anybody who is interested in... well... commishing me:
