Writers never take a vacation.
If they are not writing - they are thinking about writing.
Even when we have lost our muse/inspiration we are often running through ideas in our head.
Recently, my writing has been slowed by real life and the lack of inspiration to produce quality.
A few nasty grams from readers had also put me off writing the story I was going full tilt on. My writing partner Mike also seemed to lose steam on that story. I've got a new chapter in the hopper for today.
One thing that would help me tremendously - if you are a fan of my stories and like them - would you consider being a "PROOF READER"
I could either email you on this site or after I post the story - if you will just be kind enough to read the story thoroughly and let me know if any errors you catch?
Example:
send me the chapter/story and the line that is wrong
"Your going to have to do better"
along with the change if its not obvious
"You're going to have to do better"
(That change is obvious but you get my meaning)
I spend so much time on proof reading and I could be writing. I don't really need an editor. This is just a proof reading thing.
This story "Confessions of a Reformed Slut" has a definitive end. However, like a Blu-Ray CD we are going to add the cutting room floor chapters that continue the story like an extended edition at the end for the edification of the few perverted fans that continued to read that far. Some of the final chapters are really fun and would have made a great sequel - possibly still could.
In the meantime, I have one other active story I am finishing up - the one that Mike himself originally wrote "Visiting Aunt Scarlet" - I don't think I am doing justice to that story.
There is something I am trying to avoid and that is becoming a "Formula writer". I write what I enjoy but I think I fall into particular scenarios and tropes that I enjoy exploring too often. I am going to try with the next couple of stories to really break that mold as much as possible. I hope it doesn't drive off the regular readers who enjoy watching the many variations of the 'formula' that I deliver.
In other, unrelated buy exciting news - did anyone observe the return of Vulgus - a single chapter posted to a new story?
Hopefully, that is a positive sign because as I said - writers never really get a vacation. If we aren't writing - we are thinking about writing.
