I Did Not Lie

Image
It was one, ok two, small contests. I even only wrote one story for them to share. And, and, I've been working on my draft for 'The Queens'. So I didn't lie about not going to work on new things since I have back stories to write. So this contest story. === I'm hitting two contests with one stone today and I like what I came up with. I didn't really set it up that way until I saw it already walking in that direction.  The first contest is titled "Hero's Fall" and it's from the club  Literature-Anonymous The second contest is titled "Living a Lie" and that's coming from  AdultLitAnon I tried really hard to keep this from going down the gay road, and I succeeded even though I can see something just off the page that shows how close I came to including it. It's really a plot bunny that I denied.  The contests are over in a day. Yeah! I'm a day early.   So I'll be back in about 4 days to let you know how ba...

I'm rethinking which story to submit to publishers.

If you have read my stories, the long ones, you know that "Daddy's Acceptance" is my most taboo story. But I was trying to get it published first, because I thought it was the first of my 'great' stories that could be published. But as I keep reading of what people will or will not publish, I'm thinking I should go with "House Boys" first. Then see if who ever picks that up will be willing to do "Daddy's Acceptance" next. I say this as I read it over again because I realized that there was something that I should add too it, but by the time I sat down, last night. to do just that, I couldn't remember what it was. But I did rework one part. But I don't want to go over the whole thing again. And I just deleted the copy of the same story over at Goodreads. I forgot I posted it there and I had comments and everything, but I deleted it and now I'm thinking this. It's like setting the timer on a bomb, thinking you were...

Painful Equality is finished

I posted the pdf of the story yesterday after taking some time to correct a few things after I posted the last chapter. I had an issue with what I wrote about bread, and then meat, so I had to go back and fix it. I think that I didn't give it as much thought as I believed I did, since I found holes it in later. But it's done and you can download your copy now to read on trains, planes and in automobiles.  :) It has a front and back cover, So if you actually wanted to print it out you can, and it will look very book like. You can't sell it, but you can trade it for non money type things. A lift to work, food, jewelry or another book. Stuff like that. In a day or two, I'll be finished with my repost and editing of 'Together' and the story will be reposted as a pdf again on Scribd and DA. Inuyasha clearly isn't as popular as it use to be. I'm about two months in with the posting of chapters and I haven't had 100 people read any part of it yet. ...

First Rejection Letter

Image
I got this yesterday, Feb 2. So, it was a bit of a mixed bag but over all good news. I have actually pulled out the story and worked on two things. I think I fixed the first sex scene, and I started work on fleshing out Ben a bit more, but I'm not sure about the next sex scene. It wasn't meant to be something of great importance. As for Ben, if I didn't already feel like I defined Ben late in the story, past the 45 pages he read, I would be very offended, if not saddened that he was mixing them up in his mind. So, I wrote him back and said that I was willing to work on the story, and that I would like for him to finish reading the story and to let me know what else he believes I should work on. He seemed interested and likes the story and he said it was the kind of story they like to publish, so between him finishing it and reading the other 300 pages, and my fixing some of the first 45, I think I have a punisher. Why turn my back on them and track down another...

New Stories

Hey. :) Sorry it's been a while. New stories. Yes. I have kinda finished "Pregnant Male" aka "Painful Equality". I might be changing the name. The first title is too plain and it wasn't as painful as the second title suggests. I'll see. Anyway, kinda finished means that I've gotten to what I think is the end of the story. But now I have to read it all back over to see if there are changes to be made other than typo corrections. I took so long writing this that I expect there to be, but I'm a little ashamed that it's so short. For how long I've had my hands on this I would have liked there to be at least 100 pages. Not 56 with double spaced lines. :( So sad. But as it stands now, that is how long it is. I may add more to the middle and make it longer as I read it through by adding in some scenes that I didn't think of at the time, or decide to put back in. We shall see. Now, while I was trying to write that one, I got an idea...

Looking For A Publisher...

Image
I've started to do it. I've dusted off 'Daddy's Acceptance'. Spent almost a week reformatting, as the publisher required and reading it over to fix things and then sent it off. Firstly, I found more mistakes than I was happy with. I was willing to believe that something had messed it up and it wasn't just me not seeing/creating them. Secondly, I found a small bit of inconsistency that I let slide since it introduced some of Alex's history. But if I'm asked to fix or nix it, I will without even thinking of talking back. If it gets by, it gets by. :) Thirdly,  I have to wait six to eight weeks before I'll hear back from them. I don't think I should send it off to anyone else during that time, so I did the only other thing I could do. I took down my on line copies. Why? I don't want to think of all those errors out there to be read, and if they do decide to make it into a book under their label, I don't want to undermine that by havi...

A Slight Update

It's more of a heads up. I was being naughtily late one night and this idea came to me. It was a very good idea that I wanted to expand upon. A few days later I was texting a friend of mine and it just occurred to me that he could write it with me. I could try being a co-author again. Yes, I have to bug that other girl to see if she even wishes to pick up where we left off, or start all back over again or just officially kill the story we were working on since we haven't even talked to each other in like 2 years at least. Either way, we are hammering out a rather solid story. He tries to drag it down into the gutter at times, but it seems that he has really come around to making it a well rounded book. Oh yeah, book. It should be on the size of "Daddy's Acceptance". I told him at least 20 chapters. I think we may hit 30 if we keep the chapter sizes to between 5 and 7 pages. Also, this may be the first story that I will post over at Wattpad instead of DA or...
