hush: Blog

I've gotten a number of really constructive emails from the SOL community recently with feedback on my stories and have taken a long time to edit and re-edit my chapters.

As I've looked over my own content with your comments lodged in my brain, I've realized that I'm much better suited for shorter, punchier chapters and those are the kinds I'll be writing the future.

That's not to say that there will be pitiful little updates of 900 words or so at a time. I'll bunch together my updates into arcs instead of dribbling it out bits at a time and frustrating those of you who prefer binge reading.

The implications of this for my story in progress are actually pretty huge. I'm (eventually) going to go back all the way to chapter one and do some real surgery with the text.

This won't change the storyline dramatically, but it will get rid of the first four ugly scenes that tend to drag the action way down and keep readers from getting to the good stuff.

I'll get to this after I've reached the end of A Firm Hand. Chapter 18 or so.

Long story short: I want to thank the SOL community for being such a positive influence.

You people are the best!

I'm posting some newly edited versions of chapters 1-8 today. Most of the changes I've made deal mostly with the atrocious pacing issues throughout the earlier parts of the story.

I've also tried to add more description involving characters.

None of this affects the plot, so if you've read through those chapters already, you're not missing much that's new.

You can expect Chapter 10 on Wednesday the 21st.

After an unexpected and long forced hiatus, I posted two new chapters of A Firm Hand today.

I've actually a few chapters ahead now, so I can begin posting a little more regularly.

That said, if anyone would like to get an email when I'm going to post a story, all you've got to do is send an email with the word notification somewhere in the title or body to hush@inbox.com

When I post a new chapter you'll be among the very first to know.

Happy reading!

Many of you have been incredibly patient with the slow release schedule and slow pacing of my latest story. Some of you haven't... but that's alright, really.

In appreciation of you, my semi-loyal and sometimes irascible readers, here's an excerpt from Chapter 12 to hold you over featuring a new character that will get introduced soon:

"Did you..." Harper began before she silenced him with a kiss. Her tongue moved first through his lips then into his mouth while one of her hands snaked down to unbuckle his belt and undo his pants. The other deftly attacked his tie and shirt buttons. His cock was out and his chest bare before her tongue even left his. She's definitely done this before, he marveled.

"What was your question? I didn't catch all of it," she teased.

"Did you always wear lingerie to work or was it just for..."

"Always," she interrupted, her voice firm. "Sometimes I even kept toys in me while I worked."

The image Harper had formed of Rakti had been totally wrong. The woman on his lap had never been innocent. Or pure. This was a woman of appetite and Harper McLain was now appetizer, main course, and dessert.

Rakti rose off of him, running the tips of her fingers along his engorged penis at the same time. "I couldn't tell you how many times a vibrator hummed away on low in my pussy while I type memo after memo. Or the number of times a buttplug accompanied it," she finished with a wicked smile. Suddenly she turned, walking away from Harper toward an open door. "Just leave your clothes out here," she called back to him without deigning to turn her head.

I had to take a little unannounced, unscheduled hiatus. Tons of things to do in the real world.

At any rate, I've gotten some editing done on the chapters I've already released, so I'll be re-uploading them over the next couple days. Chapter 4 in particular has received a ton of revisions. After the revisions are up, I'll be uploading a brand new chapter for you to enjoy.

For those of you who have sent me emails, I've taken a look at my pacing and changed things a bit to help it move along. The story's still slower than a stroke story, but that's by design. I always wondered what a story set in this universe would be like with more character development.

Look forward to the changes and the new chapter!
