I'm working on a story where I gave the two female characters the names of Sophie and Willow. Somewhere early on, I described Willow as having "raven-black hair." From that point on, I kept calling her Raven. I was almost at the end of the first draft before I noticed it. I wondered who the hell is Raven, and how did she get into my story? Sheesh!
The sixth, and last, chapter of "Sandy..." posted today. This one was like pulling teeth, and not loose ones. Whew! Now I can get back to other projects and start catching up on my reading.
The story of mine I dislike the most and am most embarrassed to have written is also my 8th most popular based on downloads. It has a terrible rating, second worst of all mine, yet there it sits in my top ten.
All I can figure is some combination of the title, the description, and the codes appeal to a certain demographic among SOL readers. Hey, I think I just answered my own question!
Always wondered where that expression comes from. Sounds painful to me. I think Ron Jeremy is the only one I know who was successful at it, or maybe I just don't understand it.
Anyway, what I meant to say is that last night I hit 400k downloads. I know I'm just a midget among all the big-time writers here, with my dirty little stories, but I'm still happy about that number. Posting "Mom Hired a Housekeeper" yesterday pushed me over the top.
Thanks to everyone who is reading my stories. I'm still writing a lot!
Since several of you were kind enough to respond to my previous post, I'm glad to report the mystery has been resolved. When I finally got a chance to see my buddy's computer I saw that he had his filter set wrong. Sorry for an unnecessary post.
