The sucking continues.

Hey folks, how is it going? I know that I’ve sucked lately about updating. I try to do it once a week but I’ve just been lazy. I don’t know what else to say, I’ve been writing, and some of it has been good, but the creative desire to write has kinda been gone. I don’t know what to say about it really. Take chapter 5 of Saffron, I think that’s a well crafted scene. It’s heartwarming and emotional, and is a sort of coming of age moment for the lead character. But it wasn’t something that came out so passionately. It just seemed mechanical almost, at least until I began revising it. 

I don’t know what to say about it, I think I might just need a few days off. We’ll see. 



The funny thing about writing is that you don’t really want to stop writing. At some point in time you just identify yourself with it. You just feel like you should be writing everyday. Maybe I’ve gotten myself in a bit of a rut, I don’t know. Honestly I’ve been changing things up a bit recently, going from just Terra and Club Vanilla to the What you Need stories (Jamie and Phillip and Joan’s Baby), to a few one shots like the Bang series, and even a round robin story with Theromen and basil for a while. 

To some degree, starting a new story has so much promise and possibility to what you can do with it. I think that’s why the audience is so responsive to first chapters, or one shot stories. What’s there is there, and there are so many avenues of exploration. But as you go on, your close them, piece by piece, until there are so few that your path seems almost on a track. But then you don’t want to deviate from that track, because it’s your path, it’s where the story is going. So you just keep it up.

Enough emo shit aside. 

I’ve written new chapters of Saffron. Here’s a recap of all of the chapters. 3-6 are new. 

Saffron Chapter 1, futa/male, oral 
Saffron Chapter 2, Sleeping with Saffron no sex, romance 
Saffron Chapter 3, May I Have This Dance no sex, romance 
Saffron Chapter 4, A Civilized Society no sex, romance 
Saffron Chapter 5, Like Everything Was Normal, no sex, romance 
Saffron Chapter 6, Back to Normal futa/male, oral, romance 


Beyond writing, some news bits. Futanari Palace is down, their HD crashed, so we’ll have to see what’s going to happens with it. World of Futanari is up and about right now, it’s the most popular board that’s up, more so now than F3.

Another storm coming tomorrow, yay. Am I the only one looking forward to spring? Work is still pretty gay. I’m looking for a car right now, hopefully I’ll get that soon. S’all I got for now. 


Peace

Bang in the who gives a shit really?

Hello people. I know that I haven’t updated in far too long and I have nothing else to say about it other than it’s been purely my own laziness. I haven’t had much of an issue at work, it’s died down a lot. So yes it’s just been laziness.

Beyond the laziness, happy new year. Did a chapter of Terra, Failed Attempts.(Scroll down) It came out pretty well, we shift back to everyone on Mars, and I try to flesh out some of the characters a little bit. 

There’s also another bang story, Bang in the Proposal. It’s become an end of sorts, well at least a conclusion to the last story, Bang in the Yulelog. It wrapped up the hanging ends, but still left plenty of room open for some something new if it strikes me.

I’ve been working on a round robin story with Theromen and Basil_Jelly, we’re having a bit of fun on it. Snow day is here if you want to read it, or join it.

Working on another chapter of Terra next, I’m trying to get the story into gear. I don’t want to just be writing a chapter every 2 or 3 months again. My goal is to get things closer to finishing soon, but it’s still some ways away. But if I can get things going and get past this little block that I’ve been dealing with, it’d be nice. It’s not that I’ve just gotten writer’s block, far from it. but the big problem is that I’ve been thinking about so much of this stuff for so long that now my noggin just kind of thinks about it as old news. So once I get past this, it will all be different stuff. Sure there’s a lot planned, but it’s different than having thought it all out. I can tell you that they get to Mars, but thinking about how that happens specifically is different. So sure there are various things that I will set up in these chapters that will come into play, including Kyle’s roommate, and Josiah’s courtesan. They will play important roles in the story, but so will people like Brody and Green. Things are getting heavy, and I want to get to the heaviness soon. So in doing that, the next chapter of Terra is close to a very rough draft, but it’s going to need a lot of beefing up. Still just getting through the scenes are important, even knowing that I’m going to have to return to it. So I basically have 2 scenes, well maybe just one real long one to do and then I go back and fill it up.

Ok, long paragraph. Beyond that I’ve been beta reading again, a little something for wolfdragongod, which has some promise. The other thing is something that a new writer is working on, Jay Bird, at F3. I’ll keep both on the down low, but if they post it, I’ll blog it. Probably like a month after but nevertheless.

Still haven’t updated my website, still mulling over just doing the blog thing. It’s not that much effort, again, pure laziness. 

Personally things are more or less the same. Liver is acting up again, hopefully it won’t be too big of an issue. I’m a survivor. Work is, as I said, dying down a bit, which is nice, but the lack of money isn’t. Just waiting on the W2 form right now. Hoping to get a car with it. Should be some decent deals now, with the bad economy. 

I plan on writing Terra until another story idea comes to mind. I have a few different story thoughts, but they’re really not much more than characters. Still got an idea for another What You Need story but its baseball related. Maybe during spring training, when the game starts for real.

Well I hope I made up for the long absence with a decent explanatory post. A comment, reply, email, something, wouldn’t hurt.

Peace

Merry Christmastime/New Years

Hey people, I know it’s been a while. So just bear with me and I’ll try to catch all up.

The first news is that I’ve posted a new story, another of my one day challenges, ‘Bang in the Yulelog’. Another futa/f/m threesome, without any futa/male penetration. This beats my story, lengthwise, by about 2,000 words. I put a lot of effort into it, I don’t know if it’s all that good. Here’s the breakdown by hour. While I say breaks, I still include that in the amount of time. Word totals are cumulative, so 1144 is hour one, and 2823 is hour one and two combined, etc.

1:15 PM start time
1 hour 1144 words 
2 hours 2823 words
break between 2/3
3 hours 3769 words
4 hours 5141 words
5 hours 6734 words
Dinner break halfway through
6 hours 7798 words
35 minute Phone call
7 hours 8648 words
8 hours 9750 words
8 hours 12 minutes (first draft)10130 words
9 hours, 45 minutes, final draft, 10,552 words
11:00 PM end time

Beyond that I just send out a beta to go out for the newest chapter of Terra. Back on Mars, doing stuff and things, I won’t spoil it. Next chapter Terra will get close to Mars, and the one after that she’ll land on the planet. It won’t be easy, but it never is, is it? Keep your eyes open for that.

Moving on, I have continued to be lazy regarding updating my website. So there aren’t any new updates there, even though I still haven’t posted the latest Club Vanilla, Rose’s Baby, and the newest story I’ve done. Be patient, please, for any of those who might give half a care.

After that, a belated Happy holidays to everyone, and an early new year. 

Christmas time is different for me. Last Christmas Eve, I quit drinking alcohol. I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to do it, to be honest, an entire year without a drop of booze is quite a bit for me. I didn’t know how likely it would be that I’d actually do it. But I did it, without any help or anything, really. It’s just different, experiencing the holidays like that. Everyone wants to go out and drink and get blitzed, and you play the role of Buzz McKillington. 

So I started writing. A lot. Yes I did write while I was drinking, but not nearly as much, or as well. For all of you who have kept track, my stories and chapters have gotten longer, and probably just more long winded. In the 13 months I wrote 24 chapters of Terra(one still in beta), 9 chapters of Club Vanilla, 3 one day stories, two standalone stories, and the start of a round robin one. These total close to 400,000 words in total, which is a ridiculous amount of words to write. Call it north of 1,000 words a day, which is a lot. I know I’m just tooting my own horn here, but I guess my point is that I’m a writer.

But that’s kind of the problem as of late, I don’t feel it the same way that I used to. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s that I don’t feel like I’m getting the same amount of recognition, really. But then again I think that I’m building myself up for disappointment sometimes, in the end. I treat it like it’s my job, and that I have to write, and that sucks some of the fun out of it. But I don’t really have a lot of hobbies, and now that I don’t drink anymore, I don’t have nearly as much friends, or maybe I should say I don’t have nearly as much time deluding myself into thinking that I’m happy, when I’m just wasted. So instead of playing the same games over and over again, I just wind up writing, because I get a little bit of fresh and new enjoyment out of it.

So what does this mean? Probably nothing, not really. I’m just jarring my mouth about not getting comments, boo-fucking-hoo pansy, right? I don’t think I’ll stop writing, or stop posting, like I’ve considered in the past. But I have been thinking up some other ideas that I might never really post, or release, because they’re well, not erotic. Some day I might actually get something published, I know, big laugh, right? But it could happen, and if it did, well, I would probably stop writing these stories. Even if I could just get a little bit done, hell I’d be happy to be publishing independent books that sell in the low hundreds if it meant I was a real author. I’m working on writing enough so that it’s gotten to the point where I’m good, and I’ve even considered taking courses to help that.

Anyway, boo-hooing aside, some other notes for consideration. Red sox suck for not spending to get Texeira, but they’re still in a better position to win the division than the Yankees, but less so than the Rays. Celtics lost to the Lakers, but don’t tell the Lakers that they didn’t win the basketball championship. My team is out of the playoffs. I’ve started watching hockey for the first time in a long while. Don’t watch Twilight. Being sick is funny, how everyone thinks it’s just an excuse for you to skip work. There’s a social group at FP of mine that you should join. Been considering about dumping the website in favor of a full blog with story archives.

S’all I got. Eyes out for a new Terra. 

Peace
