My attempt at getting back into this hobby last year petered out distressingly fast. Largely I got discouraged when I spent a month laying out a new story in bits and pieces only to scrap it after thirty pages. It was both going nowhere and redundant (in tedious expository ways not sexy ways) with another one I've partly scribbled so if I do end up revisiting the idea it'll be from scratch.
Guess it's easy to get discouraged from something you're doing both for free and under implicit societal opprobrium. I don't want these stories to degenerate into political tracts or existential whining, I do want them to entertain you... but they also have to entertain me enough to want to write them in the first place, which means sneaking the odd idea here and there. Otherwise once you've done all the "hot dog her taco" jokes and purple prosed the basic act of humping once or twice, the creative exercise loses its transgressive or cathartic charm.
So, plan of action:
1) finish the shortest of the three stories I've started
2) post a couple of first chapters as teasers for future years
3) profit! from underpants! and possibly also gnomes, are gnomes sexy? maybe I should do more fantasy stuff? dust off an old non-gnome idea with long legs and longer spears? no, wait, tube stiff needs to get more into the meat of things
Anyway, motivation, here I come!
Honestly, I never thought I'd use the blog feature on this site, but I suppose picking this hobby back up after years of absence merits some demarcation.
I always felt guilty leaving my stories "incomplete and inactive" and that damnable accusatory yellow highlight still haunts my nightmares, so I do intend to polish off whatever I start... eventually... possibly years later. But, like many people, I have way more erotic fantasies than patience to see them through, with several files running several chapters already written. So to get myself posting here again I might start various stories over the next months, thumb my nose at the yellow highlight and continue them when and how I see fit.
I dunno. I there a point to telling you this? I guess 'learn from my mistakes, young'uns' about covers it. See you in the sexy pages.
