As I suspected, I'm growing bored with some of the meaningless Cup games, but I am maintaining my goal of watching at least part of every first-round game. All that is to say, I'm going to be more selective about which games I watch from now on, which should give my naughty muse more time to poke her head up and get me rolling.

I'm having a problem with where to go with the next chapter of "... Stepsisters". I've tried several ideas, but none seem to keep me interested, and if I'm not interested, I know you fine folks wouldn't be either.

I've never done this before, but I'm going to invite any readers of that story who have an idea what they would like to see happen with Ray and the girls in his life to send me a note. No guarantee that I will use any of them, but it might spark my imagination.

W.C. started today. Too many teams this time, and too many games, but I'll still try to watch at least part of all of them. That doesn't leave much time for writing. I need some 36-hour days.

I started working on a new story this weekend that is different from what I usually write. My MC is a teenage girl living in a small town in Georgia who works, or worked for, the richest man in town. 'Rich' is a relative term because the story takes place during the depression.

I'm writing it from a third-person omni pov, again, not my usual style. I often find that when I do something outside my normal naughty-teenager lane, the story meets a resounding thud, but I like the challenge of doing something different.

At least my MC is a teenage girl, so I guess it's not that different.

Chapter 4 just posted. It happened so fast that I submitted it on my Chromebook, and by the time I walked over to my easy chair and looked at my phone, the "it's been posted" message was already there. Fastest posting ever.

Someone asked me yesterday about when the next chapter of this one would appear. I'm working on it now, after recovering from some technical issues, but first I had to scratch an itch and get "Dean Miller's Experiment" done. That one has been in my head for months.
