I made a list of all the art I'd like to do for The Bonding. 69 pieces. On one wing, woo-hoo, great number. On the other... how the hell am I gonna do even half of those? Or a quarter? *eagle eyes shrivel and fall out of my head*

"And the Seventh Aetus poured his book into the air and said, 'It is finished.'" I just completed the draft of The Bonding. Next step is to go back through it, flesh out some areas, and then it will go to beta readers. I think it's reasonable to expect it will be out by November. :>

I had to distance myself from pet bird clinical practice dt sadness, feeling powerless to ease the suffering of individuals dt finances & owner challenges, or my own limitations. So I write fiction based on birds to seek some solace. I make characters, give them life, freedom, control of their destinies, and I grow to love them. Then I have to challenge them, sometimes watch them die... and I'm right back where I started. 😓 #writing #furrywriter #fiction #birdsofmastodon #birds

Just realized that my audiobook of The Sky Calls is available on Spotify. But, you can, of course, buy it directly from my website and I get more of the moolah. Take your pick!

OMG Amazon is such a shitshow for authors if you have multiple editions of anything. "Oh these all look the same, let's lump them all together. Yada yada yada..." *ignore detailed email* Click on a link for standard edition, adult edition kindle loads. Then if you do find the standard edition and click to see the Kindle standard edition, takes you to the adult version. Try to share links from any of them, the links all take you to the Kindle adult edition.

The first physical copies of Whiterock. I’m glad I ordered proofs though because there are some issues with margins and odd/even page arrangement. I’ll need to fiddle with InDesign some more. But almost there! #furrywriter #whiterock #indieauthor

It's official! #Whiterock is done! Ebook & softcover versions, in either "mature" or "explicit" editions. I uploaded all the files, just gotta wait for some processing to happen, then order copies & send 'em out to all you pre-orderers. The rest will have to wait a bit while online store gets fixed.

Creatives: Hopefully you realize by now that censorship is not hyperbole anymore. It will only get worse. Keep a foot in Bluesky, but also in federated spaces so you don't lose all your reach.

Tried opening InDesign book file, saved on Mac, in Windows & got "can't open as a book file" error. Best advice, unchanged for >10 years: save as older ver. How about Windows goes & fucks itself for becoming an inferior excuse of an OS. I'll stick with editing it, problem-free, on my MacBook tyvm. #Winblows #Windows #furrywriter #indesign

In my new book series, The Avian Age, human society collapses dt population decline, disease, & environmental degradation in the 2090s, paving the way for bird society to take over. I didn’t realize how accurate that might be: https://youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk?si=CbgFkgEB1S3xHJIL

Whiterock update: Book is laid up and ready except for some more bonus art I'm working on. Unfortunately I'm on the road a bit longer so release will be delayed until mid-April. Lots of extra content though so it'll be worth the wait. Check out my blog post on it: https://aetusart.com/blog/whiterock-18/whiterock-releases-soon-83

I've uploaded chapter 6 of my story 'One for the Road' -- 'Nightgown'. This is the furthest I've written so far, and emotional.

Settling into a hotel after a day of driving, the two find calm, allowing Cody a place to open up a little bit about the scars of his trauma. I'm still not 100% good with this chapter but mostly happy.

I've uploaded chapter 5 of my story 'One for the Road' -- 'Go-Go Juice'.

After Brandon's brief showing off, the two find breakfast. A short cheerful chapter, with Brandon talking a bit about his rubbery biology.

I've uploaded chapter 4 of my story 'One for the Road' -- 'Debris'.

This one actually includes some inflation-y macro-y things. :kay_blush:

After the storm, Brandon gets to work clearing the road of fallen trees, including making short work of a big one in a way that flusters Cody tremendously.

I've uploaded chapter 2 of my story 'One for the Road' -- 'Sleeper'.

After a cozy night with the charitable clerk stuck snowed-in as well, Cody needs some form of rescue, and finds it in an unlikely being: a timberwolf named Brandon, made entirely of rubber and air.

"One for the Road"'s first chapter, 'Stranded', is up!

Content warning: depictions of mental health issues such as depression and intrusive thoughts, and some mention of latex kink and inflation at times, though not usually as a core focus

Description: Cody, a coyote in his late 20s, has been abandoned at a truck stop in the far north of the continent he lives on, with no one he knows who can come help him, and a threat of being kicked out since all bunks are taken, rather than letting him sleep in a waiting area. An unusual traveler -- a timberwolf trucker made entirely of rubber and air, named Brandon -- offers him a way out: ride with him to keep him company on the long, lonely routes, and he can stay for free. Cody's existing fascination with rubbery things, plus the mire of the situation, disarms him of most inhibitions he'd have towards accepting an offer to travel, and so he joins Brandon (@Glitchyeen) on the treks across the continent, finding more than just friendship, but maybe a start to recovering from the trauma of what brought him there to begin with.

#WordWeavers #WritersCoffeeClub Jan 1 - what are your writing plans / resolutions for the year?

Edit and publish “Lightning” book 1

Start on book 2 of “Lightning” (I was told to call it “Thunder” by a friend)

Post up for free some patreon only stuff from the last few years

Keep writing more stuff (maybe finish some series that I never finished)

#FurryWriting #FurryWriter

#WritersCoffeeClub 20 - do you name or number chapters? How do you pick names?

I number them and name them. The number seems necessary somehow, and I don't know why. Like without the number, you wouldn't know the order they go in, I suppose.

The names are either related to content in the chapter, or related to song titles and album names that I like. Why do I pick from song titles? I just do.It's a personal trope.

#FurryWriting #Furry #FurryWriter

My current plans are to get Simply Stallions and Muscled Studs (both M/M) out before Christmas, while continuing to proofread other collections 😄 Ladies in Charge (M/F) and the M transformation collection will follow in the new year.
