Patreon Poem compilation time is approaching

It's not going to be very many more months until my Patreon has been going for a year. After the year mark I'll bundle up the poems, art, and shared scans together into an ebook and send them out to my Patrons for free. After that I'll start on the next collection of them.

For those that have not been Patrons I am considering releasing the collection for sale, but my Patrons have been supporting that, so they get it free. Some content will stay exclusive to them though.

Ame-Noodle Doodles #2 (redo)

I tried live streaming on Youtube drawing this piece. It was a less than stellar experience resulting in 6 uploads when there should have been 1 long one. Out of an hour and a half or so of drawing when I went to stop the stream I noticed only 19 or so minutes. Lovely. Thus I apologize for not getting to show the process behind this one.



This was a fun style to play with.

Spring Writing Contest

In order to collect the prize you'd need to create a Second Life account, which is free. You can then convert the prize money and withdraw it, or you can use it within the world.

Spring Writing Contest

Any writing is welcome for this contest, whether it's a story, limerick, tanka, essay... write the way that you are most comfortable. Any length is eligible, just please don't give me an entire novel (novel = 80,000 words).

Prompt: It is a beautiful spring day. You're having a picnic. Suddenly this big crystal egg lands in the potato salad! What happens next?

Starting Prize: 1629$L

Due to how FEW entries past contests got there will only be one prize. Runners up might be chosen at judge discretion depending on how many entries are received. In that event then additional but non monetary prizes will be arranged.

Polls and Contests

My own writing in Selkies' Skins book two and my Patreon writing have been progressing rather decently. A.J. Garcia still intends to write her novel but is having difficulties with time. I am experimenting more with recording live events, so at some point when I am more confident I will plan one for the publishing company. There is also a writing contest going through the Trotsdale Library in Second Life, for more info you may read here.

I am also experimenting with polls to give Patrons and visitors a chance to tell me what they'd like to see more of in the coming month regarding my mythical creatures poems. If asked I'd consider including deities as well. If you'd like to check out my Patreon please click here to visit that and get access to various goodies.
