NaNoWriMo Day One

Aya stretched, long and languid, gazing up at the morning sky. The orange, pink, and red made her smile. Out here, in the middle of nowhere, there was nothing to bring her down, no sounds of the elvish city, no voices telling her she was evil or cruel or a monster. Just the sounds of morning birds, the burbling creek nearby, the mountain breeze rustling through the trees, and the unhappy grunts of her traveling companion as he woke. She turned her gaze to the mountain looming in the near distance. Only another day’s hike before they reached the base camp. So far, the trip had been uneventful, which was both good and bad. There was noth

Pre NaNoWriMo 2

Three days earlier… Aya and Munae sat curled up with one another in an armchair, tucked away in a quiet corner of the otherwise empty Silverwater castle library. Aya was due to leave the next morning, called away on a spiritual trip. The two were quietly talking, enjoying the last few hours they had together. “I wish you didn’t have to leave,” Munae whispered, her face tucked beneath Aya’s muzzle, long ears tickling Aya’s throat. Aya drew a slow breath. “I know, love. I’ve not got a choice. You know that. I can’t turn away from my spiritual roots.” The elf nodded slightly, leanin

Pre NaNoWriMo 1

The study was silent. Too silent. Munae stared at her arcane studies for a moment, then pushed them away, collapsing back in her chair with a quiet huff. Things were not supposed to be this way. She was not supposed be sitting here, alone, in her home she once shared with her beloved. She was not supposed to be angry with her father, angry with her beloved, angry with herself. Aya wasn’t supposed to leave on angry terms. Munae knew Aya would leave. She’d told her she would have to. Munae knew Aya had no choice. But not like this. Not after screaming at each other, not after calling each other names neither meant, not after arguin

My Bio

I'm a Texas girl, happily married. I'm a traditional and digital artist; I use pencil, pen, marker, paint, and a Wacom Intuos 4 with Sketchbook Pro or PaintTool SAI. I'm a writer and a copyeditor (see website). I'm a roleplayer and a gamer. I'm a music lover of everything from trance to rock to classical. I'm a geek, a nerd, a Windows snob, an introvert, and an imaginative creator.

I am slowly working on getting myself into being an anthro artist. All (or most) of my artwork here is anthro art that I've done. I'm doing what I can to improve my art, and am always seeking constructive comments and criticism. I will continue to upload the anthro work I do here, and will continue to appreciate what comments and helpful tips come through. Thanks for looking.

One note: I do not appreciate stupid or rude comments or people trying to tell me my character isn't right. I will delete these comments without warning. If you're going to comment, be nice.

Freelance Editor for Hire

0 min read

So, I need work. Things at the publishing company are slow, or the publisher is slow, or something; I'm not sure what. In any case, I'm not getting the work I should be getting, so I have to turn to my freelancing. Between bills, a ridiculous health insurance premium, and unexpected house and car repairs, funds are much lower than they should be. I need about $250 by the end of the month, and about $1000 by the first of June. One book can get me anywhere from a quarter to half that. I am a skilled editor. I have a keen understanding of the English language and grammar. I work quickly and efficiently, giving you back the best product in the s

Monster (Final Update)

0 min read

We saw a specialist for Monster after the biopsy on the mass in his mouth. He has oral squamous cell carcinoma, which in simple terms is oral skin cancer. Because of the location of the tumor, in the corner of his mouth, removing it isn't an option, and radiation or chemotherapy is extremely expensive and isn't known for treating these sorts of tumors very well. Treatment, then, will be to continue with steroid shots, as they control the inflammation and bleeding. His prognosis is anywhere from a few weeks to a year at most. The vet expects it'll be a few months. The donations we have received and will receive will go toward his treatment a

Update on Monster (my cat)

0 min read

We took Monster in for bloodwork and an exam to set up an appointment for the tooth removal. The bloodwork came back fine, and the exam went well, though the vet is concerned about the mass in his mouth. We are currently uncertain on the prognosis, but we're going to see a specialist ASAP to see what's going on. In the meantime, we are still in need of donations in order to treat Monster for his stomatitis and to see the specialist. Thank you all in advance for your help. http://www.gofundme.com/ebt2w4

I will certainly take a look! Your writing is wonderful; that particular poem was well-executed. Mattaui pointed me to it. I love dragons (and all sorts of mythological creatures), so I'll definitely have to check your other writings out.
