NightEyes DaySpring @nighteyes@meow.social

I guess an #introduction is appropriate even though I created this account ages back.

I'm NightEyes DaySpring, a furry writer and coffee wolf. I write both erotic and non erotic fiction. I've been around writing in the fandom for a long time and recently published two books.

If you want to find me other places and see my work, I've got a digital card for that: https://nighteyes.carrd.co/

Hey, I need to get some sleep so I can head to AC, but here's an update for where I'll be at the con: https://nighteyes-dayspring.com/2022/06/29/anthrocon-2022-same-as-me/

The darkness in the core of America only grows it seems, threatening to suffocate any of us who dare to be different or who want to make a decision different than what the religious believe in. Overturning Roe vs. Wade means they can overturn anything they want.

I posted this month's Patreon story. It's the start of the novella I'm writing. I plan to put an entire revised draft of it on Patreon, so if you want to see more of Radic and Ekrem, the characters from my story, "Loving You is Wrong," this is about them.

Also, if you haven't listened to the audio version of "Loving You is Wrong" it was one of the first stories on @VoiceOfDog

The witching hour is almost upon me, and things are going bump in the night on my Patreon. The first chapter of my vampire novella, "The Blood of Life" is now up!

It feels weird as a writer to finally have stopped treating anthologies as my primary writing focus, but it has also been liberating. I get to focus on writing what interests me instead of worrying if what I am writing fits into someone else's vision.

Also, I forgot to put my tweet about the local LGBTQ+ bookstore opening on Mastodon. Oops!

Doing some reading this morning.

I hate how accurate the term "rainbow scare" is in this news article to describe what some people are trying to do to the LGBTQ+ community in The USA right now. Well, we're not going anywhere!

Whenever I hear about people who have been doing something they're passionate about since they were a kid, I get a bit of jealousy. I wish that was me.

Then I did the math on when I first wrote stories and poems. I was either 13 or 14 when I started writing.

I have two more reviews of "Scars of the Golden Dancer" to share. it has been interesting for me to see what parts people comment on.

The first is by https://twitter.com/TiberiusRings. Thank you for the review.

The second is by someone I don't know, but who is probably on Twitter somewhere. Regardless, I appreciate them reviewing my book.

Thank you so much to The Voice of Dog for recording this. I have done a reading of this myself before, and this is so much more professional than my recording of it.

CW: This story deals with homophobia and bigotry, so be prepared.

And 2,171 word later, it's done.

Fuck... what an idea. What a crazy idea. I am going to write it.

Today in home ownership firsts: First explosion!

Okay, it isn't that dramatic. I didn't know I could cause a burst like that with the water filter by not locking it in all the way. Whoops! Easy enough to clean up at least.

I swear I am an adult.

Finally, after putting it off for too long, working on the ebook format. I've got the novel loaded onto my kindle. The title for chapter 1 is at the beginning of chapter 2.

Oops! Looks like I'm going to need to play with my export.

I've long bemoaned the death of the LGBTQ+ bookstore, so the fact this is opening up where I live is amazing. I'm excited as hell!

My Patreon supporters will get a peek at the novella in June 15th.

I shared the first two chapters of my vampire novella with my writing group today. The feedback was pretty good. I still have a lot of work to do, but I feel confident about it and that I am going in a good direction.

Happy Pride Month!

I am trying to get this book drafted this summer so I can release it next year. I think it will work out.
