ghostwritten: Blog

Hello readers,

This week saw the launch of Sister's Servant, a new story that is doing ok for a first chapter. This was supposed to be a simple 3-part story, finishing right before the new narrative story begins. Unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess), I'm in the process of writing chapter 4. I've been told I end stories too early, not letting things develop, so I'm going to keep going with this one for a bit. It's pretty early so far, but what do you all think about the story?

This week also saw the second part of A Girl's Guide to Cookie Dough, on the ghostwritten after dark account. I had pretty positive feedback on it, so I'll try to get a couple more chapters out when I can. I've planned myself into a writing hole, with little room to maneuver, but I'll try to work around it.

Just one release this week, Sister's Servant part 2, on the weekend. I'll be writing chapter 6 of the narrative story and my Halloween entry this week. If I have time after that, some clean-up on unfinished projects. If I can get all that done (which is a tall order), I'll be doing pretty good.

Thank you everyone for reading, as always. I hope things are going well and you all have a good week.

Hello readers,

Quiet week this week. I did post one story on the main account in Search and Rescued and another on the 'ghostwritten after dark'account in A Girl's Guide to Cookie Dough. Neither performed particularly well but they won't all catch fire.

This week, there will be the second chapter of A Girl's Guide to Cookie Dough. This next part delves more into bondage and BDSM, which is why it isn't on the main account. This is the end of that story currently but let me know if you want more. It ends with lots of possibilities for further adventures.

On the weekend, we have a new story Sister's Servant, launching. It should be a three part story about a brother who loses a bet with his younger sister to be her slave for the day. It's a more lighthearted story so hopefully you all enjoy it.

I'm pretty confident the new narrative story will be ready to launch on October 19. I have more than half of it done and barring a disaster, it should make that deadline. That will also see the return of two stories each week on the main account. I'm excited to have that going again. It's fun to wait for the reactions to come in, scary sometimes, but fun. I do need to work on my Halloween story too, so many things to write and so little time.

Thanks for reading and coming on this crazy ride with me.

Hello readers,

I'm hoping to get some feedback on The Teen Runner (or The Runner). Views have been very weak and the review score dropped almost everyday since the first part came out. I'm looking to understand where I went wrong with this one to avoid it in the future.

At first I figured the name was too dull so I changed it to The Teen Runner, emphasizing Katelyn as the teen character. I also changed the teaser blurb but neither seemed to help. I'm just a little lost because I thought it was a strong story with good characters, editor thought so too. I'm willing to take the loss, but I'm hoping to learn something from it.

Next week, I've got two stories on the way. Midweek, on the ghostwritten after dark account, there's A Girl's Guide to Cookie Dough. It's your standard cookie/scout story with a twist (and spankings/BDSM). It'll be a 2-chapter story but if people like it, there's lots of room to continue.

For the weekend, there's Search and Rescued. This started as an idea to continue Trail Head but I decided to have it be separate. I did keep the location the same though. What I will be doing is take both stories and put them in a 'series' format. They will be part of the 'Trail Tales' series. I have a few more hiking ideas floating around, and I think I've finally cracked a good conclusion to Trail Head, so I'll be working on those in the coming weeks.

Work on the new serial is still going strong, I'm hoping to have part 1 posted on either October 12th or 19th. It is a slow story (slower than The Creek) but I hope the build up will be worth it.

Thanks to everyone reading this and anything I've written. It's been fun sharing stories the past 3 months and I hope you've enjoyed it too.

Hello readers,

The first chapter of The Runner came out this weekend. It was a story I really enjoyed writing and it has scored pretty well this so far. It is a 2-part story that, if interest was high, I was thinking of writing a 3rd chapter.

Strangely, the views have been terrible. Lowest views for a released story so far. I'm curious if anyone out there reading knows why? I'm guessing, since those actually reading it seem to enjoy it, it has something to do with either the title or blurb. The title is plain and simple, but maybe I should add 'Teen' to the title?

The intro blurb seems fine to me, outside of a correction a reader pointed out on Saturday that I fixed. Again, any feedback would be appreciated.

On to the fun stuff. Writing this past week went well. I actually managed to get a few chapters in a couple of different stories completed. I'm hoping by mid-October, when my new long story starts, I'll also be back to double releases per week.

It has only been one week, and I miss having that posting on Wednesdays. It was fun checking to see how it was doing throughout the day. There is a good chance I'll have something posted on Wednesday 18th, but it will be on the 'ghostwritten after dark' account. I'll talk more about that story next weekend.

I wish I could do my surveys on here, but any stories you'd like me to continue? I have plenty more ideas in motion, but if people think there's life left in something, let me know. I'd love to do more of Ashley's Awakening, but spun off to Ashley's Education. I know people want more of The Creek, but some other people don't. It's a balancing act. But please let me know if I'm leaving ideas on the table with an older story (Canoe Trip is getting a follow-up, so don't worry).

Next up on Saturday is The Runner part 2. It is a longer conclusion, so be prepared. I don't know if I'll post a blog mid-week, I'll decide if I have anything to say, or I'll respond to feedback from this one.

Thanks as always readers,

Hello readers,

It's strange not having something posted during the week to talk about. I know I need the time to work on new stories but I kind of miss checking the views and ratings on a new posting.

A peek behind the curtain, the new serial story is going well. Should still be on track for mid-October, barring any unforeseen circumstances. It'll be a slower story than The Creek, with a bit more character build up.

There will be a new story this weekend with the working title The Runner, about an elite teenage runner who falls for her coach. It's a 2-part story, and I'll be curious how it is received. If well, I have an idea for another chapter. I really liked this one, it might be one of my favorites and I hope you enjoy it too. Let me know in the usual places.

In the next couple of weeks, there may even be a posting on the "after dark" channel. I finished a story a little while ago and have been saving it if needed for the main account, but it fits better over there. More details soon, as I need to pass it to my editor.

That's it for now, I hope to be back to 2 stories a week by late October or early November. Thanks as always for reading my stories and this rambling blog.
