was and still is one of my favorite writers in the furry community. I won't lie and deny that some of that has to do with my own kinks presented, but a large part of it is the characters she puts in. I get to see them stress out and question themselves a lot, really struggle internally over external issues. That speaks to me on a personal level and has influenced my own writing on longer series, to the point where I get frustrated in having to put in some outer conflict when the real meat should be the struggle of having two people talk. At least, that's what I like to write. I don't know if people like reading that over the smut. Doesn't matter to me, I deliver both as does Terra.

A few years ago, after my book got rejected a few times I was pretty much in a negative spiral when it came to writing. I was still doing it, but nothing really clicked. I tried another novel but lost steam at around sixteen or so chapters (you can probably read all of it by searching my Patreon/Subscribestar). I tried writing short stories but I didn't have much drive. I remembered when I used to write smut, but something didn't click.

When I saw Terra had opened commissions, I jumped at the chance to commission her. I had a pair of characters in my mind, just concepts really, and she helped bring them to such life that I wanted to explore them. If you've been following me for long then you can probably guess those characters are Helga and Amethyst. I pretty much gave the concepts, then stole the characters (in a polite way). Getting inspired is something I find rare nowadays, and I'll admit inspiring others is one of the checkboxes I consider for a good creative.

It was through Terra I also met
Danaume

and others. I followed Dana for years as a fan of their humor and style, never knowing they were friends. Now I'll admit my life has had its ups and downs, but the people I've met through the community when I started interacting more really helped me find some bearing. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't replace it.

So, here's a small thanks, done by
kandlin
kandlin
who I also met through Terra after years of following their stuff. Hell, I could link Kand to me getting back into furry content to even see Terra was doing commissions.

And now I'm here doing commissions myself and having several novellas under my belt. As of now, I got like, 900K words written since the start of Covid. I've even gotten to rewriting parts of my old novel as I should have years ago, rather than editing one thing and calling it an entirely new manuscript.

I got Terra to thank for that. So, thank you for inspiring me, Terra. I hope I can say the same for you.

I utterly lack words! I am so thankful you got back into writing! You are an amazing writer and I hope you realize that.

Slowly but surely, I've built up my confidence in it. It gets smacked here and there, but I'm getting better and getting up.

A really lovely piece. Glad you had this done ralanr

To be honest, I had figured a lot of the stuff I was into couldnt really be feasible in reality while still having a healthy relationship, but a lot of your works gave me some hope that I can have a healthy loving relationship while still embracing kink. Then again it also helps that I'd be the sub XD

Whenever you feel down, know you have a TON of people rooting for you. Both you and TerraMGP

I've seen a lot of people embracing kink while having healthy relationships irl. A lot of what we see in fiction isn't fully indicative of what people do, but I can understand people getting confused by it. Painting some healthier dynamics was a goal of mine.

This story only proves how important it is for a writer to have constant inspiration and ideas. Often, inspiration comes after certain events in our lives and meeting new and exciting people, like the author in this case. I'm only in college and understand that I need the inspiration to complete a regular homework assignment. I usually don't have it. I was advised to use one site so I could keep up with my studies. This was constructive advice. But I'm still seeking inspiration to fulfill my potential if I have it. I hope I meet someone too. And while I'm on the hunt, I'll use the assignment help toronto and hope that my wish will come true. I am glad for the author that he has found new strength in his writing work. I wish you success.

Thank you, but it's not just inspiration and ideas. Sometimes it just boils down to discipline and I try to keep myself on a specific word minimum daily save one day to avoid burnout. However, new experiences and meeting people are also good ways to help keep you motivated.

There's lots of ways, and it's about finding what works for you.
