My latest story, "Divorce: Who Knew?" is my first attempt at writing humor, and it has been an education! :D
First, the good points: It has almost 3,000 downloads at this time, and more votes than my other two stories combined. That's a record for me. So, thank you all for reading, and thank you for voting. I also appreciate all the feedback comments. I've tried to reply to all of them, but apologize if I overlooked anyone.
Second: From the number of votes in the 1-3 range, I can only assume that I've seriously offended some Pagans & Wiccans. My Ex is a Wiccan, so I know how easy it is to offend them - if she is any example! Oh well, it is sometimes said that humor which doesn't offend someone isn't all that funny. :D
I've actually submitted a new short story! (gasp!) It's in the queue. It's just a little short, humorous flash story - 888 words- at least I hope you find it humorous. ;) Sorry, no sex scenes or fetishes. Feedback is appreciated. :D
I sit here at my computer and hear the black helicopters circling over the house again, spying on me...again.
Then again, it could be that the next door neighbor is mowing his grass, and that damn monstrosity of a riding mower of his just sounds like the black helicopters. I'm sure as hell not going outside to check it out. I'm going with the black helicopters. Yeah, that's what it is...
Every once in a while, some well-meaning friend or acquaintance suggests that counseling or psychotherapy could help me. I usually laugh it off, but I remember the one time I did try psychotherapy. I signed up for weekly sessions with a very well respected clinical psychologist. After my third visit, the counselor closed down his practice, nailed garlic to my front door, splashed holy water on my cat, burned a cross in my front yard and skipped town without a forwarding address... Wish I'd have known he was such a wacko before I wasted my money.
I don't have a lot of readers following my stories (understatement!) but I just wanted to let you know that I ain't dead yet. I'm only 64. ;^) I haven't posted anything new because my Muse left town with no sign she would ever be back. I've got a dozen stories outlined, or with the first chapter written, but that's it. BTW, only one of those stories is about Klysmaphilia. The opening sentence is "It was a dark & stormy night..." :^P
So, I direct this to the Gods of Writing - Do you have an out of work Muse I can hire?
