    A Study in Contrasts

    I haven't been on the site too much recently, but I did take another look recently at two mature rated stories, both highlighting everyone's (?) favorite super model Fluer de Lis. One is a story that I can't quite bring myself to finish where she has a major league crush on Sci-Twi and is so damn uncomfortable with the idea of pursuing her crush that the whole thing is just cute as hell. (it's an

    Uncharted Waters

    I've been working recently at the latest chapter of "Danger Close", and I've run into a problem. I've wanted to let one of my characters have a speech impediment, namely an occasional stammer. But, not having any personal experience with anyone with this issue, and having no training in the subject matter, I can't help but worry about whether I can do this and not have the character just seem

    The Cost of War

    I am making more progress of recent on the story "Danger Close" and I hope to have another chapter out within the next week or so. I'm aware that I don't have a huge following, but I still plan to finish the stories I've started. Today, my writing had to take a nasty turn as I've had to kill a character.

    Do Stories Have An Expiration Date?

    My story, "Danger Close", was originally started in the middle of 2019, right in the middle of the last season of MLP:FIM. I admit that it's been a long haul trying to figure out just how I wanted to structure it, and exactly how the story should develop. I'm not much of a writer, and even as a reader I tend to stick a little too much to history as opposed to fiction, which can limit one's

    Something is Coming

    I've been plowing ahead these last few days on the long delayed next chapter of "Danger Close", and I think I can say that it will be finished by next week. I should ideally feel a certain sense of pride, were it not for the fact that it has taken me close to two years to get this far. It's not that surprising as such things go. There are a lot of stories out there that have stalled out over the

How's social distancing going? · 1:37pm Apr 10th, 2020

I'm continuing to plow forward as best I can, trying to find ways to amuse myself while I watch this thing develop. This is definitely revealing all the flaws in how I live day to day. My long term underemployment thing continues, which I am thankful for (God knows I don't need to be sitting around any more than I do), but this thing has seriously cut back on the little things I used to do to amuse myself. I now find myself sitting in front of the computer way too much, or watching the news way too much. All of this brings up the idea that I should get more done on my writing. But figuring out the way forward on that front isn't quite that easy. I need a bit of inspiration to move forward, and I'm not sure where to get it. I'm sure it's probably right in front of me, in books, movies, documentary's, and other sources. There's one though that I miss, plain old conversation, and I'm supposed to be the 'ultimate introvert'. But I guess we're all in a 'suck it up and drive on' situation these days.

How are the rest of you holding up? I hope that you haven't had to deal directly with this illness. At best, it sounds like a total pain in the ass. I guess that all we can do is deal with it. Good luck out there everybody, and wash you damn hands!
