2016

2016 was both one of the best and worst years of my life. It was the worst due to the world around me becoming far more dangerous, and I found myself in real danger more times this year than I have ever before in my life. Truth be told, it's probably going to get even more dangerous in time, but that's where the good news comes in. Because 2016 has hands down been the best year for me due to finally acquiring a stable income, which I have been using to jumpstart my life. And if worst comes to worst, I have enough money stashed away to make moving away a possibility.

That said, 2016 has also been one of the best years because of all I have gained.

In 2015 I still had notions of getting into writing comics and/or becoming a traditional author. Once upon a time I considered my fetishy writings to be more like practice for my future regular writing, but that changed once I started spending time around my now friend, Alorok. I became inspired to start writing more and more fetish material, and I've put out more pieces in this year alone than I had posted in the 8 years before. I've managed to average a little over a story per month, rather than a story every year or so. And you know what? That feels fantastic.

I've only ever had a finite number of ideas that I could put out with my actual name attached; stories I could have my family actually read. But the problem with having so few ideas, is that I could never make a living doing that. Truth be told, I don't know if I ever can doing this either, but I can't seem to ever run out of new ideas for fetishy stories. So much of the world around us can be mined for inflation and/or transformation material. And through my increased output has come new friends, and a sense that I have finally found a place where I belong.

Most importantly, I've found what makes me happy, and that's doing what I'm doing now.

I love making kinky stories that get people all hot and bothered, and that people have been enjoying them! A Day With Sam the Squig and Breeding Stock have become my two most popular stories, and not in my wildest dreams did I think that would be the case!

I wrote Breeding Stock rather quickly for Moo Moo March; just a quick cowgirl tf starring yours truly. Honestly, I think Madamsquiggles' art really is what got many people to give them a read, but even so, to know that people love my little Sammy is so touching. A Day With Sam the Squig was written with love and care, both for Madam's creations and my lil Sam (...who was also originally created by Madam tbh). Part of Sam's personality comes from my own experience as an outsider, and never really fitting in. I found a kindred spirit in this little bundle of tentacles, who is nothing but a sweetheart, but just so happens to look scary. And to know that people like him as much as they do is truly humbling, and I'm sure he'd be all bashful to know that too. Oh, and Sam will be coming back in February in "The Squig Spa"!

I hope to continue my current output of stories throughout 2017, starting with Juicy January and the SIX pieces I have lined up for my birthday month! Four of the six are already partially or nearly finished, and I hope to at the very least get them out by the end of January. This is one of the most ambitious projects I have ever considered, and I hope many of you enjoy it!

And speaking of you, thank you all for the watches and the favorites over this last year! You've made all of this worthwhile!!! <3

On to 2017!!!
