Small cat the size of a large cat

I haven't done an "ask me or my characters anything" in a while, so: ask me or my characters anything!

The Big Coyote mood may be shifting to Big Coyote'taur. I know one! (Although I really need to get art of her as a 'taur.)

Me: I keep daydreaming about giant coyote women today.
Muse: let me help
Me: Uh—
Muse: I'm reaching up to tap on your office window
Me: Reaching up? You're not nine stories tall?
Muse: no
Muse: I'm lying on my side in the street
Me: 💦

Late night notes to self, re: faerie characters: eventually write a story that retcons Sarah's background into something coherent. And write a third story about Juniper.

While I'm willing to give HBO's space comedy "Avenue 5" a little more runway, its second episode was really not good.

Torn between "cute and unrepentantly evil" and "gentle but brain-melting" as a vignette idea. To be fair, Jillian is kinda intended for that latter category. (This is not a spoiler, right? Right.)

I kind of want to write some stupidly button-pushing vignette to see if I can shake off my writer's block, but I have no idea what yet.

Finishing with an alcoholic hot cider, made with local apples. 🍏 😻

We have found a cider bar, which is just like a wine bar except with, you know, cider. I have decided this is the optimal form of apples

Clearly the next logical step for Disney is to start doing animated versions of their beloved* 1960s and 70s live action films

*may actually be crap

Ah, I'd forgotten how much fun it was to desperately try and copy files off a dying external hard drive before it completely implodes

I did not intentionally misspell "Inkbunny" in that CW but it's kind of funny so let's roll with it.

‪Ironic furry trivia point: some of my stories would violate Inkbunny's TOS, because they've convinced themselves they can legally host cub porn if they ban content involving humans.‬

Wondering if writing about writer's block will help me break writer's block

I feel like I need to be working on a non-writing project to recalibrate my ADHD-addled brain. (When I was a kitten, "hyperactive" was the actual medical diagnosis. I was prescribed coffee. And it helped. I swear I am not making this up.)

I was trying to come up with a clever quip about the mildly depressive ennui that I'm failing to treat by changing my scenery, but I can't. The ennui is still there, now coupled with mild guilt about not just staying at home. 😑

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a "relatable brand" infesting your timeline forever

The Kani and Jillian story is still in progress, but it's pretty delayed, I'm afraid. I'll try to catch up soon but there's a good chance I will skip January updates (and not charge patrons next billing cycle).
