ghostwritten: Blog

Hello readers,

It's been a pretty interesting week this week, so I thought I'd talk about it.

Jane Finds Herself continues on with chapter 43. We are getting so close to the end now and it feels strange. It's been such a long journey, ironically a year to the day as of the posting of this blog, for a story that originally didn't do well. I've written a few chapters ahead, so it weird to know I'm only four chapters from the end of this ride. It feels strange to get to the end of certain plotlines and tie them up rather than add potential branches. I really hope at the end of this I wrote something people enjoyed and had some fun with; that's always been my goal.

All that does lead me to start thinking about the next story. What exactly should replace Jane on Saturdays? I wouldn't mind writing a few smaller stories, stuff in the five to ten chapter range. But what would you all like to read? Do you want more 'much sex' content or would you prefer something on the lower end? I've got a few ideas for both. I might play with the new poll feature some time this week to get some feedback, but feel free to let me know your thoughts if you wish.

His Sister's Keeper - I've got to be honest, I had no idea how this story would perform. It's a story with fairly unpopular tags, on a secondary account that hasn't seen a new posting in over a year. So far, I'm completely blown away by the response. The views have been fantastic, and even the user score is much higher than I thought it would be, especially for a chapter one. By the way, thank you to everyone who dropped a rating on it so far. I'll be tracking views for the next few chapters before making a decision, but it does look like there could be a strong chance of this continuing beyond the initial 10 chapters. As usual, feel free to give your feedback. Also make sure you've read the TAGS. This is a darker story; quite different than anything else I've written. I don't want anyone caught off-guard when things happen.

That's about it for this weekend, mostly a check in and a thank you the strong start for His Sister's Keeper. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to send me a message. Thank you for reading.

Hello readers,

Back for another blog this weekend with some updates.

Jane Finds Herself as usual carries on. Not too much to say about it this week. I hope everyone is still enjoying it. As the next few weeks go by, I’m going to start asking questions here about what I should work on next and how you’d like stories to be posted. A big thank you to Laz, for adding the polling feature, which will really help gather information and data from all of you in a much easier way for those that don’t like DMing.

Science Club Episode 4: Steaming Vengeance has finished and views were a lot lower than I’d hoped. Scoring was also not exactly what I was hoping for based off the response from Episode 3. I’d love some feedback on why it didn’t work as well as the previous chapters. I know the long delay between 3 and 4 likely killed readership, so that’s very much on me, but what marks did I miss for you.

Now as I noted, I’m not stopping with this series. It will go on with Chapter 5: Collateral Damaged and Chapter 6: TBD which will be the finale. There won’t be as big of delay for the next episode, and I can confirm it’ll return June 3rd, 2026, for its 5-chapter run.

So, what’s happening on Wednesdays, I can hear you ask. Am I leaving you in a lurch, stuck reading the much better works from the many great authors here on SOL? Nope. No need to realize I suck and can barely tie two words together if my life depended on it (my poor, poor editor).

I am happy (or saddened – depending on your point of view) to finally announce a new story for my thought dead secondary account ‘ghostwritten after dark’. That’s right, I’m FINALLY posting something over there for the people who’ve kept asking for new, darker content. I promised a while ago that I would do it and I’m ready to make good on it.

His Sister’s Keeper… is a tale of love, blackmail, and manipulation set during a summer vacation in a small lakeside community. Joey and Gwen Tanner, two close and loving siblings, whose lives are about to be turned upside down by one simple lapse in judgement. They’ll do things they never imagined and endure humiliations and degradations to mold them both into something different.

This will be a minimum ten-chapter story (5 weeks on, 5 weeks off for Science Club, and then another 5 weeks on, and depending on reader response/feedback, it could continue past that. This is my first real foray into this style of story, so please let me know your thoughts. The overall goal for this story project is to revive the ‘after dark’ account, play in some darker themes, and if it goes well, use the experience for a larger story in the future. Again, feedback will be key here, so please leave comments or send messages on what you like/don’t like about this story. It will matter for this and future writing projects.

I hope all this was exciting and not awful and terrible. Thank you as always for the kind words and messages/comments. I write for fun, so I hope reading it is just as enjoyable on your side of the screen.

Thank you for reading,

Hello readers,

Smaller and less insane blog today. A few things to talk about, so let get into it.

Jane Finds Herself is still chugging along. On my end, I’m putting the pieces together to get towards the end. It’s a strange thing, writing something like this for so long, to know you’re getting close to the end. I want to make sure I conclude things satisfactorily for all of you, at least the best I can do. It might not make all of you happy, I don’t know how that would be possible. I just have to hope it’s good enough that you don’t hate it. So. Much. Pressure.

The big thing I want to write about today is the Science Club series. If you haven’t read it yet, please do. Episode 4 is doing pretty poorly in terms of views. I don’t know about scoring since it hasn’t met that vote threshold yet so I can see. For those of you reading it, what are your thoughts so far?

I think I messed up with the massive break between Episodes 3 and 4; losing all momentum. I knew they’d always lose readers, but this was a lot more than expected. It is unfortunate because I enjoy the complexity of writing all those characters and storylines.

So where does that leave the series going forward, you might be wondering. Am I going to cancel it? Abandon it like I did Ashley’s Education? No. I won’t.

Episode 5 is already being written, and Episode 6 will follow somewhere after that. The plan was always to write at least 6 episodes, so that’s what I’m going to do. I had hoped to do a few more, but it seems there isn’t an appetite for that. The series will conclude with Episode 6, so I hope some of you will stick around till the end.

The plan is to have a 5-week break between episodes, where something else will be posted during that time (more on that in the future). So, Episode 4 will finish, 5 weeks, then Episode 5, break, and then the conclusion with episode 6. Somewhere near the end, I’ll probably write a post-mortem blog on the good and bad of the series, so feel free to let me know what you liked or disliked on the whole endeavor. I’ll try to include comments from readers.

Anyway, that’s my week. Thanks for reading and all the support. Writing is still fun, so I hope reading is fun for you too.

Hello readers,

It’s been a little while. I haven’t had much to blog about recently, since I’ve only been posting Jane Finds Herself week after week. I didn’t think there was much more I could say about that other than ‘please look forward to next Saturday’. This week though, there’s a few things I’d like to go over. Let’s get started.

Jane Finds Herself – This story obviously keeps trucking along as we near our way to the eventual conclusion. The original plan to get it done by chapter 40 obviously didn’t happen, but I am targeting a chapter 50 wrap-up. I’ve already started laying the seeds for the end throughout the recent chapters (although I’ve also set some red herrings to keep you guessing).

I’d like to thank everyone who’s supported this story by reading, scoring, and commenting on it. As the story’s gone on, I haven’t responded to the comments like I normally do. Rest assured, I am reading them and I thank all of you who’ve posted one (shout out to Barryanchorman, saintdarthcoder, DevilDare, and aurabesh for the most recent ones).

I’d also like to thank and shout out whoever nominated and voted for ‘Family Reunion’ for the 2025 Clitorides Awards. I didn’t really expect anything for the past year’s work. There was so fun stuff, but there’s also such strong competition out there.

So that’s that. Jane carries on and we can look forward to her adventure every Saturday until she well… finds herself. Thanks for reading…

Why are you still here? There’s nothing else… I’m done.

Wait, you want more? Isn’t my one chapter per week good enough for you? Wow, seriously. I’m hurt. When is it enough for you people? Do I have to go back to adding a Wednesday story again? You don’t understand, Jane Finds Herself chapters are like double my normal story length, so they take so much extra time… Ugh, FINE! You win.

Starting this upcoming week, it is the long-delayed return of Science Club, Episode 4 – Steaming Vengeance. What do you mean you haven’t read any of the previous Science Club stories? What are you waiting for, check them out or reread them before the new one drops. That’s too much work? God!

Fine. Thanks to reader hotpass’s suggestion. I’ll be adding a short synopsis with Chapter 1 this Wednesday. As this series is in the style of late 90’s to early 2000’s TV shows, I tried to frame it as a ‘Previously on…’ summary of important things to know for the upcoming Episode. There’s also character descriptions and other key information surrounding the story/series (Now including character last names, which most didn’t have). Hopefully it helps with reading clarity. If there’s something else I should add, let me know in the comments or via message. I will be doing it for each new episodes going forward.

So, there it is. Jane Finds Herself on Saturdays and Science Club Episode 4 on Wednesday. I hope you’re happy now.

You still don’t seem happy….

I don’t have any more news to share! GOD! Stop looking at me like that! Wait? What’s that?

What about the ‘ghostwritten after dark', account? I promised you stories and some activity over there? I don’t remember doing any such thing!

Stop asking! Look. I have nothing new to share on that front….… yet. 😉

Thank you for coming to my psychosis (And thank you for reading!)

Hello readers,

Back to back weekly blogs, look at me go. Last week’s blog got me thinking and I realized I didn’t write a New Year’s blog. That’s where I give my thoughts on what I produced last year, and what I hope to achieve this year. So, if you’ll allow me, here’s my not exactly New Year’s blog.

2025 was my first full year of writing, since I only started halfway through the previous one. I think there was a mixed bag of stories, some worked and others probably could have been stronger. I won’t go over each one, since that’s boring and who really has time for that, but I’ll highlight a couple stories I’m proud of and some that might have missed expectations, either mine or yours.

The Good

Snow Angel – I was really happy how this story came together. Each character had their own motivations and goals, which I thought blended nicely. There was a nice mix of story and sex, although some things could have been fleshed out a bit better. It was one of the few times I used a defined real place, and hunted for little details like geography, stores, and restaurant menus.

Science Clubseries (so far) – Kind of a cheat, since it is still active, but the first three episodes have done really well. A big swing in having 9 characters to balance along with a sort of goofy premise (a sex drug). By episode 3, I hope each character is interesting and you can be invested in each of their evolving stories. Still a long way to go with them, and I hope you are in for the ride. My one misstep here though would likely be releasing it as Episodes and not as one singular story. It was a gamble that likely didn't pay off; but I'm committed to finishing the next 3 planned Episodes.

The Bad

Trapped at a Sex Party – I don’t actually think this one is necessarily bad, but mistakes were made along the way. I didn’t give enough time to develop the mystery or build enough tension for Beth and Greg as characters. The title alone likely drew some scorn and turned people off, while others expected more sex and felt cheated. I think you rightly deserved better here. It should have been put under my other account, ‘ghostwritten after dark’. Still though, I liked the concept about an undercover reporter who’ll do anything for a story… Beth may return in future tales. If so, expect this one to move accounts.

Ashley’s Education – Good idea a year too late. I think the writing was good but the story was lacking plot and stakes. I don’t think any of that mattered though, since there wasn’t any appetite for more with this character, at least in the wider community of SOL. That being said, several readers have asked me to finish it… I still might. It’s my only story that I’ve abandoned and I hate that. We’ll see.

The Middling

Sheltered from the Storm – Generally fine, but people hated the ending. Not every story should have a happy ending but maybe I went too far negative with this one. They could have just separated and gone their separate ways, but I decided to dig the knife in a bit to Allison; probably too deep. Lesson learned.

Winter’s Bite: Whiteout – Hahaha, I don’t care how good or bad these do, I’m still going to write more. Currently, my only attempt at fan-fic which I generally avoid, as a rule. Marked improvement over The Hunted, the previous Winter’s Bite story, but maybe these would flow better without sex? Something to think about for the inevitable follow ups. Bonus points to anyone who knows what this nonsense is from.

2026 – The New Year’s Goals

Primary goal is to finish Jane Finds Herself. I didn’t place it in any of the above categories because, well, it isn’t finished. The story’s been fun and it’s done surprisingly well for something that didn’t start out that way, but it eats up a lot of writing bandwidth. Wrapping this thing up in a satisfactory way is my biggest hurdle for the year.

Post Jane – I think Saturdays will likely feature smaller scale tales (5-10 chapters) following the conclusion of Jane Finds Herself. This massive sized story writing stops me from exploring other smaller story ideas, and paired with Science Club left little room for changing things up, which can be refreshing while writing. There is the potential for another grand tale, but it might be elsewhere… see below.

More ‘after dark’ stories – I mentioned last week wanting to have at least 3 5-chapter stories over on the other account by the end of this year. That’s the big goal although there is the potential for just 1 big story too (probably not Jane big… hopefully... maybe?). That account is for harder or weirder stories. I have very different expectations over there than I do for stories on my main account, so I can play a little more with darker themes or content. Balancing timing and release schedules out will be a challenge, as well as managing burn-out possibilities.

That’s pretty much it for what I hope to do for this year. I have personal goals that I’d like to achieve over the course of my time writing here on SOL, but those aren’t year dependent. I do think I achieved one though, which I’ll mention. It was to write one story to people come back to every so often. I know it’s hard to quantify or confirm that fact, but Peeping Tammy has continued to do well long after it’s final chapter release, so I’m counting it.

Thank you to everyone who’s read one of my stories over the past year and a half of posting here. Thank you for the wonderful comments and messages I’ve received, giving support and encouragement… sometimes criticisms and corrections. Thank you to my editor Checkmark50, for fixing the broken mess word salad that I send you; and to Nemo for reviewing my rough drafts and keeping me on the plot.

Thank you all for reading this. Feel free to reach out and let me know your thoughts as always. To a better year!
