Writers never take a vacation.
If they are not writing - they are thinking about writing.
Even when we have lost our muse/inspiration we are often running through ideas in our head.
Recently, my writing has been slowed by real life and the lack of inspiration to produce quality.
A few nasty grams from readers had also put me off writing the story I was going full tilt on. My writing partner Mike also seemed to lose steam on that story. I've got a new chapter in the hopper for today.
One thing that would help me tremendously - if you are a fan of my stories and like them - would you consider being a "PROOF READER"
I could either email you on this site or after I post the story - if you will just be kind enough to read the story thoroughly and let me know if any errors you catch?
Example:
send me the chapter/story and the line that is wrong
"Your going to have to do better"
along with the change if its not obvious
"You're going to have to do better"
(That change is obvious but you get my meaning)
I spend so much time on proof reading and I could be writing. I don't really need an editor. This is just a proof reading thing.
This story "Confessions of a Reformed Slut" has a definitive end. However, like a Blu-Ray CD we are going to add the cutting room floor chapters that continue the story like an extended edition at the end for the edification of the few perverted fans that continued to read that far. Some of the final chapters are really fun and would have made a great sequel - possibly still could.
In the meantime, I have one other active story I am finishing up - the one that Mike himself originally wrote "Visiting Aunt Scarlet" - I don't think I am doing justice to that story.
There is something I am trying to avoid and that is becoming a "Formula writer". I write what I enjoy but I think I fall into particular scenarios and tropes that I enjoy exploring too often. I am going to try with the next couple of stories to really break that mold as much as possible. I hope it doesn't drive off the regular readers who enjoy watching the many variations of the 'formula' that I deliver.
In other, unrelated buy exciting news - did anyone observe the return of Vulgus - a single chapter posted to a new story?
Hopefully, that is a positive sign because as I said - writers never really get a vacation. If we aren't writing - we are thinking about writing.
I hope you get that joke in the title and dont' think I am a Cannibal.
It is thanksgiving though - so a story about a greased up slut tied to the dinner table with a corn on the cob in her mouth and rope binding her toes to her tits like she is a Turkey Dinner or table decoration would be much appreciated.
I know my writing has been slow lately - apologies in advance. Real life has been getting in the way and slowing down my inspiration.
We've got 37 chapters written of the "Confessions of a Slut" story - and sadly we are running out of steam. Feedback stopped a long time and readership has been down. We had plans for an entirely new arc to the story but I am thinking about putting the logical end on the story around chapter 34 and then just posting our 'bonus chapters' for those few patient perverts who enjoyed the story.
I am working today on adding a chapter to Mike McGifford's "Visiting Aunt Scarlet" story. I swear it had a snappy title when we first started talking about it.
He wrote a story the other day that started with the following:
"Hon, don't you think it is about time to untie her and bring her inside?"
Now, I don't know about you but that is a very exciting first sentence to a story. I could probably write at least half a dozen different scenarios with that first sentence.
I don't really know what Mike's plans are as we wrap this story -but my hope is he'll keep writing stuff. If you haven't followed him as an author he is located here:

If you like my stories - you'll love his library of stories too.
Also, I am not kidding about a good Turkey story. Last year, I wrote a short story about a woman who "Gives until it hurts" at a local food bank - and was caught sucking cock behind the homeless shelter by her two daughters. That was a fun story.
How about writing one about a domme/sub couple that come home to visit family and get found out?
"Why can't Authors just use the word 'Said'?" he asked.
"Huh?" She intoned vocally as a wintry smile spread across her face.
"Sorry, that was a strange question to ask," he generated sonically from his speech organs.
Finis
No, they mostly stumble around and break shit!
Visiting Aunt Scarlet is getting lots of positive comments and quite a few reads. Keep in mind - I did not write this and I am editing and adding to the brilliant work of Mike McGifford - could be why it is getting so many positive reviews. It is slow going though - probably a chapter a week.
The Confession and Re-education has about 10 more chapters in editing and no where near finished. We were trying to keep up with one chapter a day for a while but that's a recipe for burn-out.
I do plan to get back to the Resetting my Bitch Button - I have lots of good ideas for Jessie's trip to Disneyworld.
I have a few short one-off ideas percolating as well but I anticipate a little slow posting soon.
I also took down a few of my unfinished stories. I plan to either finish them and re-post or leave them off SOL. A lot of my early stuff is ignored and downvoted - but if you get bored in the mean time please have a look. "Do you have a big dick? Why not" is one of my all time favorites. I often write easter eggs into other stories with those characters.
As an example, in that story Betty is an older sexy former stripper who makes a living on Webcam with her two daughters performing along side her. (I've met women like this and based the character heavily on that influence)
In Slut Summer School, (Another completed story that I suggest) Betty is a teenager in the 1980s just realizing the power of her own sexuality and something of a background character. She shows up at parties and bars with older men - including a rich guy named Jeffery Epstein and she talks about this so-called Island he wants to take her to as well.
I love to put Easter Eggs in my stories and "Confession" has a few as well - including being set 40 years after "Slut Summer school" in the same Florida Town.
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name
Hah, I just put the Cheer's theme song in your head!! You can thank me for that later.
Seriously though, in America we are on the precipice of a historic election and tensions are high - raging wildfires, pandemic and all sorts of nonsense. People losing their jobs, economic conditions are sad for many while others are sitting pretty and lack empathy.
The reason I picked the Cheer's theme song was that I was thinking about SOL like a Bar. I am Cliff sitting on the edge of the bar with my buddy Norm (Mike McGifford) and we are having our beers (stories) and shooting the shit while we do.
I was telling him that this story we are working on together should be fun to create! It should not feel like work. It doesn't to me. It's tedious at times to check the grammar and to rewrite parts that don't make a lot of sense. We are writing a story where one of us writes a chapter and then the other person writes the next one. Sometimes it is a little confusing with two chefs stirring the pot. But Sometimes one of us catches something "Candy wouldn't be in the truck because she is still at work" - and that's great - so having two people working on this has made the story much better than any I've written previously.
Don't get me wrong either - I love sharing my stories with like minded readers who get off on the perverse tales. I just wanted to say that the reason I am at this bar, drinking this beer is also that right now I just want to get away - see things through the eyes of my characters and experience vicariously the things they do and see.
My virtual "Cheers" is this site - where we share stories and I just wanted to express my appreciation for those who contribute to it - especially the webmaster.
