Hello readers,
It's been a little while since I've updated or posted anything. I've been on a bit of a summer break, taking time off from writing to rest and rejuvenate, before returning to write more smutty, banal gibberish. I'll be honest, it's been nice not worrying about hitting specific deadlines or being glued to my keyboard all the time. Until this little break, I'd posted at least one story or chapter every week for over two years, often times two; one on Wednesday and one on Saturday. It has been weird to check on things and see it so quiet on my homepage.
That being said, commitments have been made and feedback given by many of you. I must address the Poll I posted on the last chapter of His Sister's Keeper. First off, thank you to everyone who responded, both for, against, and indifferent, it all gave me needed information on people's thoughts on this story. The overwhelming view, with 87% was to keep going with the story. I am a weirdo of my word, so that's exactly what will happen. I've got a chapter outlines for the next five chapters ready to go, and I should start writing soon(tm). I expect you'll see the results of that on September 23rd, so I hope you're looking forward to that.
For those uninterested in His Sister's Keeper, knowing it isn't for everyone's taste, I'll have something else for you before that. On September 19th, there should be new content posted on the main ghostwritten account. It's still influx what it might be, as I'm trying to fix an old story that I abandoned a while ago while working on something else. The abandoned one is a story I started and mentioned here on a blog but never posted; I didn't have time before to massage it, but now I kind of do. The other story is... something familiar to longtime readers here. It's an attempt to fix a mistake, to write (sic) a wrong, and complete a broken promise... I think some of you know what I mean.
That's it for the update. Again, thank you for reading and I hope you'll pop by again when these stories are ready to go.

Hello readers,
As some of you may have noticed, Jane Finds Herself chapter 51 dropped today. First things first, I'd like to apologize for the delay. I thought writing would go fast but each time I sat down to write, I grew frustrated very quickly. Writing felt like scraping my balls over broken glass and not even in the fun way. As it was the last chapter of the story, I put so much pressure on myself to get it right that I froze up. Hopefully what I wrote was worth the wait, but that will be up to you.
In my previous blog about this story, I wrote that I would be reworking the Epilogue to fix some issues readers had with the previous chapter. Well, that didn't work out as I expected, I needed more than just a few pages, so I wrote a whole new chapter. This chapter is essentially the end of Jane's story, tying up most of the loose ends of her character. There will still be an Epilogue that will be posted some time this week, though I don't know the exact day.
In another blog in the future, I will write more about the experience of writing Jane Finds Herself. It was certainly a ride, and one I'm shocked went as long as it did. I'd also like to write an introspection review about the Science Club series at some point as well. Both will examine what I did right and what I think could be improved in the future. I'd love feedback from you on those when they are written, maybe I can do a 'What the Readers Think' follow up.
Secondly, His Sister's Keeper, posting on my side accountghostwritten after dark. Been getting mixed reception to this, which I sort of expected. It is far outside the confines of my usual writing and much darker than most people enjoy. Comments are a mixed bag from those that are enjoying it to others saying I should move on (and one telling me to drink bleach). I've decided, once the final chapter in the current batch is posted (will be chapter 10) that I'm going to put it to a vote. A simple question, Do I keep writing this story? It'll be attached to that final chapter but I would like to hear from everyone, even those than started and stopped reading it. I think that final chapter will post on August 5th, if my timing is right. I will call it out again closer to the date. Majority rules on this one.
Finally, once all those things have been posted, the end of Jane and His Sister's Keeper, I'm going to be stepping back from posting for the rest of the summer. I'll still be around and likely working on new writing projects for the future, but I won't be posting any new stories or chapters. With everything that happened with Jane and other stuff, I need a break to recoup and feel the joy of writing without constant deadlines. I've been posting consistently, at least one thing a week often two, for over two years now. It's funny, when I started I had a simple goal of posting one story every week from June 15th to the end of August that year; I think I managed that and then some. I wanted to make a contribution to the erotic writing community, a repayment for all the great stories I've read over the years; I hope I was able to do that. I hope at least one of my stories made you smile or laugh as well as got you where you needed to go in the sex department. Through it all, it has been fun.
Thank you for reading my stupid and goofy stories these past few years and for all your comments, messages, and review scores.

Hello readers,
After careful consideration, I have decided to end the Science Club series with this final fifth chapter of Episode 5. I think it wraps up enough for it to be a conclusion, finishing most of the primary storylines. Unfortunately, the episodic format proved detrimental to on-going readership; losing many readers along the way. Maybe it just was never that good of an idea to begin with... who knows. Anyway, Thanks to those of you that stuck with it.

Hello readers,
Due to poor reception to the previous chapter of Jane Finds Herself, I have decided to pull this week's chapter to rework and restructure it. While this week's was meant to be the final chapter, it was more of an epilogue to the story more than anything. Realizing it would likely just annoy and frustrate more readers than it would help (I'd planned it more as a fun check in/catch-up with the characters), it made more sense to delay it and change things. I may post something else during the day Saturday; something I wrote a while ago that I never did anything with, but I haven't decided yet. Who knows...
Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience. I hope to have Chapter 51 (Epilogue) out next weekend, if I think it'll be a worthy send-off.

Hello readers,
It's been a minute, hasn't it? I thought I'd pop in to give a little update on the state of things. So let's go!
Jane Finds Herself - My stalwart, not so little story, nears it's conclusion and it is insane to think how long I've been writing this thing. I hope you've enjoyed the twist in chapter 47 and that the explanation made sense in the most recent chapter. I've been sitting on that reveal for almost year now, uncertain if I'd actually use it, but it was fun to finally pay it off. Anyway, I recently finished writing Chapter 50 and there should be one last one after that to wrap everything up. I'll likely do a full breakdown and dissection on this story in the future, and would love to get all your thoughts on it before then. Feel free to keep writing comments and sending me messages; I do read ALL of them, though I stopped responding to most comments (more because I don't know if people see the responses, not because I don't read them).
His Sister's Keeper - As mentioned in the end note, that story is currently on a break as I post the new Science Club Episode. Responses to the initial five chapters has been pretty mixed, with scores dropping each and every week. I kind of expected that, since it is something very outside my normal writing style and story tropes. I get it if it isn't for you, that's why it was put on my secondary account ghostwritten after dark, and not the main one. It will have new chapters posted in July, with the next drop of chapters 6-10 over 5 weeks. Beyond that, I think there will be more but it will depend on readership. There is sort of a loose 5-chapters equal one week in universe plan, so there should be 30 chapters if it continues on to it's conclusion... but I don't really know if it will get that far. While this exact story might not incorporate people's direct feedback, as there is a narrative in place, I will use it to help craft future stories on this secondary account. This story always was always meant as a testbed for what does and doesn't work for this darker narrative style of story, which I am not so versed in. Please keep all suggestions and advice coming!
Science Club - EP.5 Collateral Damaged - The students of Madison High are back with a problem. The worst case scenario has happened, and Heat somehow got out to an unsuspecting student. That's the set-up for this installment of the Science Club series. Readership is low, but expected, as this endeavor was sort of flawed to begin with but it has taught me a lot about juggling multiple characters and storylines, which may come in handy in the future. This one will run for the month of June until the Episode's conclusion, after that, there should be one last Episode to go and the series will be concluded. At that point, all long-running series and stories will be done and who knows what I'll come up with in the future.
That's about it for now. I'm trying to figure out what comes next after Jane Finds Herself concludes, I might possibly revisit a past story or maybe do something new. I'm leaning more into finishing a past blemish; something that has bothered me for over a year now, but we'll see. I'm ok with the account taking a little break with lower readership stories for a little while while I refocus toward new adventures (and IRL summer stuff, of course).
If you made it this far, thanks for reading. As always, feel free to reach out and leave me your thoughts. Happy reading!
