Writer Spotlight: Anhedral
You can now pre-order the Monsterf#ck anthology from @incisionpress.bsky.social
It features my story 'La Fin de la Fée Verte' about the Green Fairy
This is the first time I've had a story published outside of the furry fandom so it's very exciting

I was wondering why today's date was nagging at me.
My grandmother died 50 years ago today.
She cultivated my love of books. She'd give me a book at every birthday and every Christmas.
I wouldn't be writing Captain Bara today if it weren't for her.
When I collect all of the stories into a book, maybe I should dedicate it to her.
I wonder how she would have reacted to having a book of gay furry fiction dedicated to her. Probably break her brain. Would it break her heart as well?
Books taught me how to understand the world and myself. Books helped me survive my teen years. Books gave me a refuge in bad times.
I'd like to think that she would have seen past the surface. Past the parts that would have upset her, because she was a product of her times. That she would have understood that she had given me the tools to express myself. The tools to let out the confusion and anger so it wouldn't stay bottled up inside. That that was the value of her gifts.
I have no way of knowing, of course.
I'm still thinking about you, Grandma. I hope I make you proud.
Pretty pleased with my writing progress this month - I’m looking forward to Go Fourth by @PascalFarful to help me keep pace in April
Plus the Cóyotl Awards, editing, and what I’ve been reading in March

Wow. So my promise to myself that I would write every Wednesday didn't work. It has been two months, and I just now got back to writing!
Result: Yesterday and today I did a TON of research! I'm now an expert on 1920s whiskey! (Rather impressive, since I never drink alcohol.) I also managed to eke out a few more words of the actual story.
Title: Captain Bara #1
Words today: 354
Total so far: 1781 (of maybe 10,000?)
Today's out-of-context quotation:
"She rolled it around in her mouth for a few seconds before swallowing."
