Hey!
Hung on to join until I had the paper copies of the official bits I was published in as Arian Mabe and hope to meet a lovely bunch of people here! I write under the name ‘Amethyst Mare’ on several furry sites and take on many commissions as I enjoy working on them, they challenge me to improve and the income allows me to keep going out and experiencing new things. If I don’t do anything, I find that my enjoyment of writing dries up. So the commissions certainly keep me going strong. I’ve had a couple of things published with Weasel Press, one more to come with Red Ferret Press, and some non-furry works also, nothing major. I’m very aware that I’m maturing in writing and think I need a few years practice before angling for something in the non-furry fiction market, using the experience gleaned from hard work and learning over the next few years.
Time for writing is a trial and something I guard preciously. Working full time takes a great deal of energy and I spend an hour at the gym every weekday after work also, as I feel that physical health is very important. It also helps keep my hand supple - small, lingering injury - so that I can keep writing, so it’s exceptionally important to me to go. I’m very happy with my ongoing output, however, but would like to balance work a little more.
Hope to see lots of people about and have a fabulous day! ;D
