Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All

Last week someone asked me what I thought was the favorite thing was that I'd written. I asked for the context since I write a lot of stuff that has noting to do with this site.

The answer was "of the stuff posted on SOL".

It took a few hours to remind myself of what was posted here and finally I had to say "Friends and Family" specifically Chapters 25-26-27 (Home and Work Parts 3-4-5).

I really like the whole story. I posted the first chapter on Feb 23, 2020 and the last on Aug 9, 2020 with a grand total of 27 chapters.

I think this story was the one that made me realize that readers who made negative comments were affected by the story. I'd touched them enough that they had to drop a note. The problems with the comments section is that a conversation can't really take place.

Anyway, Friends and Family is my personal favorite story, along with "Mick and Keri" and the O'Dell saga which I'll get back to when I'm done with the Strawberry PAtch story in a few months.

Hi All

I just got a note from a reader who asked me why the comments were not turned on for the story "The Story of Wynifred and William". It won the 2022 Clitorides for Best Seasonal Story and she wanted to leave a comment.

I went and looked and son of a gun! I'd forgot to allow comments. I liked writing the story and with Halloween coming and a new contest getting ready to start, I figured I better turn on the comments.

So now y'all can tell me I suck, once again!

Hi All

It struck me that the next holiday was here and I needed to finish the next story in the Children's Table Universe.

Here it is, "Labor Day"

Hi All

I'm working on finishing The Strawberry Patch Book 4, and the Strength of the O'Dells as well as another profession book for my RL life.

Of course along the way my brain wanders and I get other ideas. I try to wash away the bad ideas with liberal amounts of adult beverages. However, some just seem too good to let go of.

I have got 4 stories that I've allowed to survive the adult beverage phase of creation. One is a cheating wife story called "Pay To Play", another is a Western called "The Phlox Kid", another is a swingers story called "Summer Party" and a fourth is a mess called "What If You Knew?".

I've been thinking of putting the four in a document and posting it for a short period of time to see what the folks who read my stories can see what grabs them.

Let me know if you think I should put out these starts or if I should just get back to work on my other projects.

I fixed Chapter 28 so I no longer have Paul suggesting the pregnant wives go and get drunk.

Sorry.

Don't know what in the hell I was thinking.

Move along. Nothing to see here.
