It's a quiet Sunday morning, and I should be working on the last chapter of "Volleyball Girls," and I will get to it later, I promise, but first I have to admit something.

Two years ago (can't believe it was that long ago), I posted a "confession," revealing a second ID I've used in the past. I won't repeat it here because I only submitted two stories under that name, and they aren't very good. However, as a cliché-heavy mystery writer might say, it's time to drop the other shoe.

There is a third ID I have used, and I'm kind of proud of the stories I've posted under that name. First, the reveal: my other alter ego is "Naughty Shayna," and that name has a backstory.

Several years ago, I discovered a subreddit called "Adultpenpals" (don't bother looking, it's gone away). The idea was that someone would post the beginning of an erotic story, or maybe just a character description, and other writers who liked the idea would reply. If they agreed to continue, a back-and-forth exchange would develop. It was like writing a story with a co-writer in almost real time, an interesting writing exercise.

After doing that for a while, I grew frustrated because I found it difficult to get many people to work with me. Then I realized that, like almost all erotic sites, 98% of the users were guys, so I created "Naughty Shayna", a "naughty 20-something high school teacher", and started posting under that name. Not long after I started using it, I could post a story idea, go away, log back in a few hours later, and have 30-40 guys eager to work with 'her'. I would pick a few of the more promising writing partners, and off we went. I don't think that any of my co-writers knew the truth about Shayna. My intent wasn't to fool anybody; I just enjoyed putting myself into her head.

I had been thinking about writing a few SOL stories from a female pov, so I brought Shayna here and started posting using her persona. It's been a lot of fun writing her stories. I even did one collaboration that might have begun as one of those Reddit efforts; I really can't remember. It's a bit on the naughty side, but I consider it some of my best writing, under any name.

Alas, I never seem to find time to write NS stories anymore. There are two incomplete "Naughty Shayna" stories here, one I intend to finish and one I'll probably abandon, but the way my mind works, I may get inspired to jump back into her world any day. We'll see.

Confession done. Now I can get off my knees and get back into "Volleyball Girls".

I was going to let my loyal readers know that chapter 10 was posted today, but by the time I got around to it, I saw that it had already been downloaded over 1,000 times.
One more chapter to go, and I'm pretty sure most of you already know what it will be about. I'll try to get it done as quickly as I can.

I wonder if any of you are as tired of reading my posts about this story as I am, but I feel a responsibility to keep my loyal readers updated.

The good news, as the rat trapped in the outhouse toilet said, the end is in sight. Ch. 10 is almost finished, hope to have it ready to post by early next week. After that, I have one more chapter planned, to tie up some loose ends.

Didn't get much sleep last night because I had a knot in the storyline of V...girls that I needed to untie. The solutions, there are two, finally came to me at about 4 a.m.; then I couldn't get back to sleep because I wanted to start writing before I forgot them. I'm so tired now that I'm barely awake, but I wanted my dedicated readers to know what I go through to please you.

Okay, that sounds very whiny. What I should say is that I have some exciting new adventures coming up for my friend Alex. I'm working on chapters 9 and 10, and I hope to finish both in a few days. They need careful editing. I've made it a point never to trust anything I write between midnight and dawn.

(Yawn)

I was trucking along, about 2/3 of the way into Ch. 9 of "Volleyball Girls" when my train of thought was derailed, and something unexpected popped into my head, a twist that no one, including me, saw coming. As I started working on it, I realized that Ch. 9 is really out of order with the rest of the story arc. It should be Ch. 10, which means I need to come up with a new Ch. 9. It might take me a few more days than I had expected to complete both of those chapters.

If you really care that much about what's going on in my head, you need a new hobby. Try supporting your local girls' volleyball teams. Okay, you can support the guys too; they just aren't as much fun to watch for a pervert like me. Of course, my first love is still soccer, but I've written enough soccer stories for now.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled browsing.
