Kids are off school, so as a result my time for intimate scene writing is rather... sparse.

I am not a quiet author. I have to say my character's lines, in order to get them to feel right.

My characters also like to talk dirty.

You see why I'm a tad behind. :)

But zero sex scenes, so I'm going to hold off posting for a while.

I figure it's best to wait until you get to a point where there's at least some kind of hook for your audience.

Free! Free to write whatever I want and... I can't think of what I want to write. Dammit.

Got a few Ideas, and if any of these scream "WRITE ME" in the next few days, I may end up banging them out. (Pun totally intended)

1. A Bio-porn stroke story. One that focuses on a lot of dirty talk about pregnancy, etc. (Just for the hell of it. They're hard to find done right.)

2. A Shakespearean romance. Woman in drag falls in love with man, but is fallen in love with by woman who thinks she's a guy. Only this is porn so she ends up with both of them. :)

3. Romance novel for men. I enjoy writing these and the last one I wrote was my best reviewed work. Only this time, I'm thinking of only 2 women... but lots and lots of romance, diabetics beware, etc.

So if you want to see me doing any of these, feel free to drop me a line while I deal with RL and try to get into the mood to write. OR tell me that they all suck, so I stop wasting my time.

Either way, I appreciate the advice.

I wasn't in the same place I was when I started my last story seven years ago. Hell, I wasn't even in the same place when I tried to continue it three years ago.

So, yeah, I am not as happy as I could be with the ending of my last story. Sad thing is that I think the characters are more interesting than they ended up being at the end.

But I wanted to finish it, and not just leave it sitting until the end of time.

So I appreciate the feedback.

I do listen, believe it or not, and I try to get back to everyone who writes to me. (Anonymous folks, I hope you understand that I can't write back to you if you don't give me a way to do so.)

Seven fucking years. Woah. That's way too long to be dealing with the fallout of one's experiences.

I know when I'm getting better though, because I start writing again.

I think this was my last unfinished business from Iraq. I'm ready to move on now, to other stories and other fantasies.

Here's hoping the next one is as good as my best. I can always get better though, so here's hoping my next one is BETTER than my best. So far.

Maybe. Ah, hell with it, who knows? I think I'm just loving writing again.

Thanks to everyone who reads my stuff.
