I'm A Hamster IRL

Yep, that's me, hamster wheeling away for my tiny food pellets and water drips. Waking up with all the other hamsters, shuffling off to work in my hamster cubicle before coming back to my hamster home and scrambling around my tube maze or lazing in my wood shaving pile.

I was warned, but RL job has gotten all kinds of busy. I mean, everything with this whole unconstitutional shutdown of the country and what is essential or unessential is bad enough, but my job is either a tepid slowpoke weighed down by bureaucracy or its full frantic ahead. Is it too much to ask for normalcy to return to the world so my job isn't jumping around?! I have anxiety problems and change causes me anxiety!!

Not a lot is done so far this week. Almost nothing, actually. Part of that stems from the difficult scene I'm currently on. Honoka is talking to her grandfather and he is disappointed with her life choices. It's hard to write because it's a personal subject for me and...speaking of anxiety...this is downright nerve burning. I just need to power through but I haven't yet.

Another aspect is I'm waiting for the final cover art from @Plasmidhentai. I'm not going to lie, I have spent hours this week just refreshing my email so I can get that promised final. I think I'm developing an ulcer over this whole thing. Did spend some time with Editor-kun to get the colors and effects for the fonts for the cover, but not a lot of time taken up there. Editor-kun also walked me through what he plans for the videos but doesn't want to move forward without the finished cover art. Ergo, I want that tasty cover art.

I went back through some of my failed stories I tried writing in the past during the weekend. First off, some good ideas are there and it looks like I pulled more from those into Becoming Monsters than I realized, but mostly it was cringy to read. The ideas are solid, but the writing is really, really bad. Characters are talking like soap operas and I can cut the cringe with a knife. Then there's the stuff I refuse to look back at: my teenage fanfiction.

*shiver*

There are people I know and love who have read that stuff. I must hunt them down and kill them.

Question for you all: what do you look for in your monster girls? Like, what about monster girls draws you to them? Is it the taboo? The borderline beastiality? The fantastical elements, like magic? Or is it just physical: feathers, scales, eggs, tails, tentacles, goo, etc? Always looking for input from the fans.

Keep harmonizing!
