I'm not quitting, but....

Well folks I haven’t updated my blog in a while, and I guess that it’s only fair that I do so, to let you know what is happening with me.

The first thing that I want to tell you is that I’m not quitting.

The second thing I want to tell you is the reason I haven’t been blogging, which is that I haven’t written much of anything in a long while.

And that all leads me down to the point I’m about to make. I’m bored with futanari porn. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve more or less written only futanari porn over the last 2.5 years. At least, the stuff that I’ve posted.

In the end I was never so over the top infatuated with futanari as some others are. I guess my big fetish was always transformation. The act of changing from one being or creature into another. Initially I was enamored with feminization fetish, but in the end it didn’t cater enough to my interests. The female dominance angle aside (which was rarely a good thing) the transformation from being a man to having breasts and a vagina was interesting, but I did not want to do so to have heterosexual sex with a man, in my fantasies I still have no arousal towards men or anything masculine.

That’s when futanari interested me, because naturally there’s a change, or at least I typically involve one, where a man or a woman becomes a futanari. The change is sudden and affects not only their libido but their reasoning, and so on and so forth. We’ve all seen it a dozen times in stories, at least.

And if you look at my stories, the erotic ones at least, most of the better ones involve transformation. Terra, Club Vanilla, Chrysanthemum, the transformation scenes are some of the best, and rival the sex that happens soon thereafter.

So I guess the real honest truth is that futanari became boring to me. It’s more or less the same few scenes over and over again; before the transformation, transforming, self experimentation, making love for the first time (with the phallus/as a futa), impregnation, starting a family, etc etc etc, or however the specific stories go.

Now I guess if anyone’s reading this, you’ve probably assumed I’ve quit. And I haven’t done that, nowhere near it really. I’m just not as interested in writing futanari porn. At some point in time I look at myself and wonder why I write only for a fetish which starts to bore me. Hell, I look at some of my best stories as being my non erotic ones (set in the ‘What You Need’ later Terraverse) like Jamie and Phillip, Joan’s Baby, or Casey at Bat. I would love it if I could at least show my family some of my stories.

This has caused me to cut down on my time I’ve spent on futanari forums, like Futanari Palace  and F3. Well, dealing with the management at FP is one issue.

So where does this leave us? Well, naturally, my writing production has cut down a lot. I’m still interested in my stories, but not as much in others stories. But my focus now is on the plot, the story of Terra, and not unnecessary gropefests. I’m not saying I’ll never write a futanari sex scene again, I just mean that I’m less inclined to do the gratuitous unnecessary sex scenes.

I guess, if you’re (still) reading you are probably left to wonder what is going to happen with my stories. Well to be honest I’ve decided to put my effort into making Terra a story that is interesting enough to survive without relying on sex all of the time. (Though I’m sure a great many could observe that sex is hardly there all of the time.) I will continue to write Terra, and most likely finish my other stories, in fact I have a chapter of Terra half finished. I need to focus my time more on it, I admit, but real life has become a pain. I’ll go into more detail about that later, but for now, I haven’t given up.

To Celeborn, I assure you I’m nowhere near dead, just mostly lurking. Thanks for reading and taking a moment to comment.

And if you were wondering what else is going on in my life, well, I’ve mostly been playing on my new 360. I spent a lot of time playing Fallout 3, love it, and some other games (GTA4, L4D, RE5, to name a few) to a lesser extent. I’ve been trying to get ahead in general in life, but I wanted to take a break and enjoy something I’ve wanted for a while. It just set me back a bit…

And that’s all I’ve got for now. Didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings, and I don’t want to do this as some attention whore being emo. I felt I owed it to anyone who takes the time to read my stuff to know what is going on.

I’m not dead

I’m not dead, if anyone was wondering. I’ve just been crazy busy lately, but I’m sure that you all know how that is with the season and everything.

Anyway, I guess the news is no news. I’m trying to work on the chapter of Terra but when I barely have a chance to sleep, or even blog, I don’t have the time to write a 20,000 word chapter. For that I am sorry, but this won’t go on forever. Another couple weeks of 6 day work weeks and one day weekends, and I hit 3 day workweeks and 4 day weekends, thanks to the holidays. After that I should resume writing regularly. 

You can consider it a hiatus if you’d like, personally I wish I could write ‘til my heart’s content but it’s just not happening that way. But we can always hope. 

Thanks as always for reading, and I hope that I can make it up to you eventually. The next 3 chapters of Terra are gonna be real good…assuming I can pull it off right. Well I did the first 30 pretty decent so I guess we’ll have to see. 

PS to anonymous I'm not going to drop the story, it just takes time to get it done. I know I suck lately but having to work twice as many hours and deal with the whole hullaballoo, and only having one day off a week hurts.

Devil in the Details is Done

Well hey everyone, here’s the newest news on what’s going on.

Firstly I apologize for taking so long to get to you, Sunday was my birthday and I was busy with the family and everything. I haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and really work on things.

Now the biggest news as of the moment is that I’ve posted the last chapter of the Devil in the Details, Copulation. It’s really more of the obligatory sex scene, but it does serve to show their love and compassion and hell, a sex scene never hurt. 

The next thing I’m up to, while not working on the next chapter of Terra directly, is a sort of companion chapter for the story. I just wanted to do something special for the second anniversary of the story, and realized that this is going to be a long chapter, one I’m not going to be too likely to post anytime soon. So I’m going to go into a little bit of detail about the various characters in the story, some of the technology, looking back at some of the points in the story, and a background look at how a chapter gets written and the prewriting and thought that goes into it. Maybe it’ll be something interesting, or at least worth reading.

Anyway, I’m just taking the time off to recover, hopefully I’ll have something worth reading soon. Hope you enjoy the story and I’ll do my best to post soon.

God does anyone read this…?

Hey folks, what’s going on? There’s not a whole lot going on with me lately, but I wanted to let everyone know what was going on with me.

Firstly, I went and did the whole ultrasound thing on Friday. I was going to write an update, but there wasn’t really anything to update. I did it, it happened, and I’m waiting for the results. I’m hoping to hear back sometime this week, but first they have to send it to my doctor, and then he’s got to look at it and inspect it. I’m guessing that they do all of this by some type of postal service, god I’d hate to imagine them doing it either via UPS or email.

When I know I should let you know. If you care, honestly, I don’t know how many people really give a fuck. I mean I don’t want to BAWWW here so I won’t. I’m not looking for sympathy from complete and total strangers. I’m not an attention whore, I don’t want people to worry about me or anything. If something happens I’ll let you know, otherwise I’ll just try to struggle on through the daily shit that we all deal with. If I could get over these allergies and breathe easier that’d help. Sorry if that sounds rude but I don’t really know how else to phrase it.

Anyway, beyond that the FP story challenge is chugging along, I guess. Haven’t had a lot of people go and write stories, but I’m hoping that they take their time and come up with something good. I’m working on my own thing, word count wise, its almost 7000 words, which I figure will be just over 1/3 of the story. Once I finish the sex scene I plan an action scene, followed by the climax, another action scene, and finally one last sex scene as some falling action. I know I’m being genericly vague but I don’t want to ruin any of it. I’m still probably a month from posting it anyway, I plan on posting the story on my birthday, one chapter a day or so. Or I might wait to finish it on Halloween, or maybe the day before Halloween. I haven’t decided yet.

Watched the new Fox shows tonight. Simpsons was slightly better than it has been lately. Cleveland Show wasn’t that good but I wasn’t really expecting that much from it. Family Guy is good, better than I expected over the last season. The Robot Chicken world had to be my favorite. The American Dad was better, they seem to have found a way to make Steve less annoying, or perhaps I have just gotten used to it.

So I beat Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2…in under 10 hours. Dang, what a short game. Seriously, it was good, but nothing special. Not worth the money for sure, maybe when it comes down to like 20 bucks, but it was ok. Still not sure what I’m going to move onto next, I’ve been testing the waters with Atelier Iris 2, it’s better than the first but I already played the third, which was much better. I dunno, I guess I’ll come up with something.

God I hate allergies worse than anything, having difficulty breathing is the worst, it sucks shit. But forget it. anyway, that’s it for now. God does anyone read this…?

Whats new pussycat?

Well hey everyone, it’s Sunday night and time for an update.

Firstly I want to correct myself. Shortly after telling you all that it might be my kidney, I received the results of my blood/urine tests. Apparently it’s now my liver, or at least that’s what we’re thinking now. So I get to have an ultrasound on it. Not exactly what I wanted but maybe sometime I’ll find out what’s wrong with me. It’s on Friday, but chances are I won’t know for sure until the weekend after that.

Moving on…I decided to go forward with my idea for a Futanari Palace Halloween Story Challenge. I don’t want to call it a contest, because I don’t want to make it competitive. I’m actually surprised at the amount of interest that has been shown, far more than I had initially expected. I hope that as many people that are interested actually write and finish a story.

I’m working on an idea for a story, but I think I’ve got the base of it cemented. I don’t want to spoil it but I might wind up pushing the 20,000 word limit. Damn it, who made up that stupid rule?

Also I’ve been working on Terra, although I’m afraid it might be on hiatus while I write the Halloween story, then I’ll pick it back up. I’m only like maybe 15% done the next chapter anyway.

The reason for that is, of course, Mana Khemia 2, which I finally beat this week. It was a good game, a fun one, though very repetitive. But I’ve moved on from a repetitive 70 hour jRPG to a repetitive 20ish hour beat em up, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. It’s basically the same as the other games based on that engine, X-Men Legends1-2, Fantastic Four, and its predecessor. The storyline is more interesting, because it’s based on the whole Civil War storyline in the Marvel universe, although it sorta sucks because instead of actually splitting up the camp into two different groups, you can basically play with just about everyone except for a few, like Iron Man on the pro-registration side, and Captain America on the anti-registration side. Someone like Wolverine, who was very anti being on Stark’s side, or Spiderman, who actually revealed his identity being on Captain America’s side, is kinda silly. But whatever, it is a video game based off a comic book, so it’s all good. Thankfully the repetitive nature of the game won’t have me as sucked into it as I was with Mana Khemia 2.

I’ll let you all know what’s up with me when I know. Frankly not knowing sucks the most, but there’s nothing I can do. If any of you care, I’m still alive, and I’m not dying, at least I hope. I’m just not 100%. Dunno if I’ll ever be.

Anyway, have a good one folks.

Trying at least

Hey folks, what’s going on? Thought I’d try to get back to at least a normal weekly schedule for updating.

Right now the news is no news basically. Due to family obligations I haven’t done anything writing-wise this weekend. Nothing major and nothing to worry about, but it just ate up my time. Add that to the fact that I have a doctor’s visit on Tuesday and I haven’t been too inspired to write really. I don’t know what’s up, my side just feels…strange. Not pain but, well, I don’t know, if I did then I guess I probably wouldn’t have to go see the doctor. Whenever I have anything on the side of my body with my liver I always get a little concerned.

I’m working on Terra next, and did get a little bit of work done last week, a scene or so. I’ve tried writing things a little differently, always going to try to change things up, make it interesting, use different styles and so on. right now I’ve got like, a cast of almost thirty major and minor and tertiary characters to keep in mind, and keeping that fresh in the reader’s mind is difficult without constantly reintroducing everyone. I just try to pepper things in. A mistake I made, and I’m sure that others have as well, is that when you write you often times assume that once you’ve said something, it’s etched in stone. For an example (just a random one, not actually from anything that’s happened) Terra’s a redhead on page 50, so I won’t need to bring that up ever again.

Besides that there’s very little going on. I’m still playing that RPG Mana Khemia 2, playing through many of the same assignments for a second time is rather dull, but as my characters are mostly invincible thanks to the armor that I had left over from Ulrika’s quest, it’s hardly challenging or interesting. The character side stories are really what’s interesting, though I have to say that Roze’s story unfolds much slower than Ulrika’s did. I’m about halfway through the story and I’ve barely started to go on his story. Considering his conversations on Ulrika’s quest, it sounded like more had unfolded already. I guess I’m just getting antsy, I kind of know what’s happening, but not entirely yet.

Anyway folks, right now I don’t have a lot to talk about. I’ll let you know if my liver is dying or something. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised with my luck. Have a good one people.

PS people if you want to help me earn a buck, sign up for this thing. You don’t have to actually use it. It’s one of those fill out surveys for money programs. For signing up you can earn me a buck. Like I said you don’t have to do it, but if you do then you get some money, and I get some money too. And hey, literally will take you under five minutes and get me a buck, and they start you off with 2.50 of your own money that you can use on whatever you want. I don’t ask for paypal donations or commissions, so if you enjoyed my stories give it a shot. Couldn’t hurt. Thanks either way.

Sometimes the best things in life are (almost) free

Hey guys, what’s up? 

Nothing is going on for me really, but I felt like posting some something, so here goes.

You know it’s funny but sometimes the best things in life are (almost) free. See, as I’ve probably told you before, I’m not exactly living the kind of life where Cribs wants to film. I’m not bitching, we all have to fight for every penny, hell, that’s life ain't it?

So today I went and got some groceries. I’ve been doing my best to squeeze every buck and get the most from each and every purchase that I can. Well, today I decided, in my infinite boredom, to make cookies.

See I’m trying to get out of a hole, and with the unbearable heat of summer, my interest in writing is at about nil. So when I’ve got no money to do anything that costs money, and my one usual free leisure activity, writing, is more or less not something I’m not doing at the moment. 

So the only other thing I’m marginally good at, besides writing and lovemaking (wink wink) is cooking. Though to be fair I cheated a bit as I just got a Betty Crocker cookie mix. However with coupons, and getting things on sale, I paid next to nothing for it. The BC mix was on sale, 2 for $2, and I had a dollar coupon off 2, with a double dollar coupon. Then all I needed to add was butter, which is on sale for $1 a pound, and eggs, which were buy one dozen, get two dozen free. 

All in all I must have paid about $0.40 cents for two dozen cookies. Not the best thing for me as I’m trying to watch my weight. But it’s a tasty treat, and a reminder of the kind of stuff I’d eat in my childhood. And hey, it’s almost free too. Can’t beat that.

All I got really. Maybe I’ll keep up these stupid little nonsense posts. I got to the point where I just thought, what the hell, it’s my blog, I’ll just post whatever I want. Then again, maybe I won’t. Who knows. Later folks.

How I Solved My Nightmares

Hey folks, I haven’t updated this place in a bit, not really.

First thing I want to do is clarify what I meant with the poll. I was asking if people were in any way interested or cared about the blog itself. I realize that I don’t have a lot to say here, it’s one of those things where it’s difficult to really come here and have much of anything to say. I kind of doubt that anyone really has that much interest in what I have to say, and most days I’d rather write 1000 words in a story, rather than writing it in a blog post, when I don’t have a lot to say.

Anyway, if you were wondering what’s been up with me. last Tuesday I started having a small toothache. As the day progressed, the tooth got worse and worse and worse until the point where I was nearly in tears. I saw a dentist and had emergency surgery to remove the root of one tooth which had come out on it’s own, and to extract a wisdom tooth. That was more pain, and more unpleasantness. 

For much of last week I hadn’t written a lot. I was on Tylenol 3 with codene, prescribed by my dentist, which was good for the pain, but bad for my liver. My liver has been in a bad situation, which of course isn’t good. 

I’m not personally in a good spot, to be honest. I’m bumming for money, I don’t have much good going on right now, and even my health is failing. I’m stuck in a shitty go nowhere job, working at UPS. Due to the situation, I can’t really go to school to learn anything, and with the economy there is no way I’m going to find a better job which pays more or even equal money, with the benefits that I get. Now would be the best time to go to school, but it’s just not going to happen. My teeth are terrible, but with only a part time job, I can’t really afford to get them fixed up. My liver more or less has to fix itself on it’s own. And my mp3 player, one of the few things that was going well, is messed up. Apparently, the joint circuit or something has to be resoldered, which I could try myself but I’m sure I’d just fuck up, so I’ll have to pay someone probably more money than it’s worth to do it for me. The only thing that’s been working decent is my diet, but I’ve messed that up in the last week. 

Anyway, that’s what’s been happening with me lately. 

I’ve written a new story. It’s a strange one and I don’t think it’s especially good, but I’ll let you be the judge. It’s at Futanari Palace, F3, and World of Futanari right now, and at my website soon. How I Solved My Nightmares is a different kind of story than I usually write, but it came to me and wouldn’t stop being written.

The other thing I’ve been working on is a novella, well probably closer to novel length non-erotic futanari story set in the ‘What You Need’ future Terraverse involving a high school futanari baseball team. 


That’s about all I’ve got. I want to thank the people who read. Thanks to anonymous and netviper for kind words. Here’s a helpful hint for the future. Keep on replying and I’ll keep on posting those stories.

Chapter 11 of Saffron published

Hey folks, I’m sorry I skipped the blogging and what not last week. I’m sure you’re all really broken up about that, right?

Anyway, last week I updated the newest chapter of Saffron, Chapter 11, Beats Most Friday Nights. I didn’t blog it, and you didn’t read it, so this week maybe we can both work on it.

That was probably the last chapter of Saffron for a while. Nobody liked it and because of which they didn’t read it. That was fine. I understand the natural way things go. I’m not upset about it. I never really loved the story. It wanted to be written, and I wrote it, at least the start of it. It probably won’t be ended, but I have way too much stuff that I prefer to finish.

Other than that I’ve just been working on Terra. I’m getting close to having a chapter done, but this one is probably going to be a longer one. I did most of the big scenes except for one, and lately I’ve just been tying them onto one another. 

I’ve recently gotten my mp3 player, a dell dj 30 gig, working. 


At least I have something good with it. I don’t have any of the accessories or anything, but after a lot of effort I got it to work and synch up.

That’s about it. I have considered just giving this blog up, mostly because I doubt that people read it, or that it serves any purpose. I don’t really plan on writing another writer’s corner anytime soon. It’s too much effort and too little reward. Don’t plan on copying my stories here either. This blog may wind up simply becoming ‘Wrote this, read it here. This is next’

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.

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.

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.

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
