Well, I’ve been working on “Bought” off and on for seven years and I’ve never managed to figure out exactly where the story was going. That all changed today! I finally came up with a chapter-by-chapter outline. Now I’m looking at twenty-five chapters worth of novel. And nine of those contains smut. Hey, I’m an erotica writer, after all!
Of course, now comes the annoying part. Nano doesn’t start until Tuesday, so I can’t write until then. Yeesh….
More updates to come.

I’ve been very diligent with my outline for “Bought” for the first time in forever (if ever, to be honest with you). It’s actually coming along and is no longer smut without a plot. I feel that it’s quite an accomplishment.
I have to wonder though, how many smut scenes is too many. I have 15 chapters plotted out thus far and 7 have smut in them. I guess that’s not too bad since the story is about a half succubus. Once upon a time, EVERY chapter for “Bought” had some kind of sex in it. It’s nice to have the story actually go somewhere not 100% sticky!
Now what I need to do is come up with the main character, Aednan’s, back story. She’s a half breed and was basically a slave to her family, but I feel obligated to give her more than that. Also, I want to make sure she’s not uber-powered. Eh, I kind of hate that sort of thing and I really, REALLY want to prevent it from happening in the novel. I haven’t exactly come up with anything good, but her back story is supposed to be heavily exposed in chapter 14. I’m sure I’ll come up with something good.
Anyway, back to work!

So, I’m back. It’s been a long time. Too long. What’s the point in paying for the domain and the web hosting if you’re not going to use it, right? Right!
I’ll admit to not writing much these last couple of months. Personal life stuff. You know how it is. But, the plan is to change this, particularly since NaNoWriMo starts in only a few days. I tried back in 2009, though I found myself giving up way too easily on it. I have so many freaking story ideas, I don’t know how I’m keeping it in my head. This year, something has to give.
I’m 98.7% certain that I’ll be working on “Bought.” I have the old version and did some initial stuff for the rewrite, but I’ve never gotten down to business on it. I’m pretty intimidated by the amount of story I’ve come up with. I’ve plotted out 11 chapters so far and I’ve barely gotten to the actual story. Well, for the most part, I should say. To be honest, I still don’t know where I’m going with it, and now I have a week to figure that out. Hell, without a guideline, I’ll never get it done.
I’m still determined to try!
So…Nano, Nano. I plan to update my progress as the month goes on. Most likely it will be something like “@#$%%$#$%%%!!!!” Who knows, though? Maybe I’ll be a bad ass about it!
More to come

I was always really proud of my design for my e-zine We, The Night… Unfortunately, I never really did anything with it. For some reason, it has been really sticking out in my mind lately. Like this horrible nagging voice telling me to keep to my guns and really give it a try. So, I am. I don’t know if it will pan out to be anything, but you know, sometimes the road traveled is more fun and rewarding than reaching the end of the road.

The gist of it all is that porn has helped move technology along because people enjoy sharing their smut. So, thank you, porn industry, for making it possible for the all the techie things I love….Without you, I’d have to do things like my job or talk to my spouse or enjoy sunlight. Thank you!

Well, it’s been over a month since I’ve updated last. This is mostly due to epic levels of laziness, the reading of A Game of Thrones (which I thoroughly enjoyed), and weird and unfortunate health issues (#$%$ you, hidradenitis supprativa!). Not that I haven’t thought about blogging or writing, it’s just that I haven’t been too motivated.
I think I’m going to put Project TK on the back burner for now and focus on “Bought.” Once again, I’ve received an email through Literotica in regards to the story. You know, another “why haven’t you finished this story?!!!” emails. So, I think I’m going to finish it this year, come hell or high water. It’s just crazy that I’m getting emails about the story after all this time. The really interesting part is, I don’t think it was very good! The story itself has merit, but I was little inexperienced when I started it. I like to think I’ve grown much as I writer since then.
Anyway, I’m almost 8,000 words into “Bought” which to my surprise is only covering chapters 1 and 2. I’m still working part of the story. This is the first time I have the beginning and the middle, but not the end. I don’t know where I’m going with it, and what I had in mind originally kind of doesn’t flow right in my opinion.
Expect some updates soon! It’s definitely on its way and that’s a wonderful thing!

So, many of you may know that my day job consists of wasting away in the call center a rather sizable doctors office. You know how call centers are. Stressful. Boring. Filled with people calling you “Amber” or “Tiffany.” Usually, the whole phone crew are stressed out beyond all reason.
But, not today.
For some unknown deity or deities, the phone system at the office is busted. Not for only our office, but ALL of the offices on the campus I’m on. Double bonus, the fax machine is down, too. What in the hell are the odds?!
Anyway, I’m thinking about challenging myself to a short story after my boss leaves. Nothing like a little challenge, you know what I mean? Possibly expect something soon!

You know, Project Twilight Killer is becoming more and more “adult” in my head. Meh, I guess I should have seen it coming! This may be due to the fact that lately I’ve been working on my story “Bought.” I really need to finish that story….
Anyway, here’s a blurb about a secondary character Nia (who is with a major character named Rem, more on him another time).
Nia had never doubted he would be incredible. Ever since the first day Rem walked into her life with his cock-sure swagger, she’d known being with him would be an experience of all experiences. Still, she couldn’t help feeling surprisingly pleased at how well he’d made her body sing.
But, as she sat on the edge of the bed, back exposed and front barely covered in a linen sheet, she also knew the truth. She was nothing more than a game. A moment of passing time for him to fill while he longed for the one he couldn’t have.
Her eyes welled with tears. She hated sullying this long awaited event with crying. It’s not like she didn’t know what this was. She couldn’t expect more from him.
Rem’s hand touched her back, sliding down her sweat-soaked skin in a long, sensual movement.
“Going somewhere?” he purred from behind her.
“No, of course not,” she returned with the false brightness he’d expect from her. “Why?”
“Just asking.”
His voice was husky now, heavy with need and desire. She licked her suddenly dry lips.
“Another go, then?” she asked, forcing the hollowness from her tone.
“Yes.”
She maneuvered herself back into the bed and into his arms. As the first of many mind melting kisses caught her, Nia let the ignored love she felt spill into his lips. She knew this was all she could ever get from him and she would take it. When that thought settled in her heart, some of that love became a bitter hatred.
Check back for more soon. I swear I’m working on it! Mostly.
Project TK by .
You know, for the last few months or so, I’ve been getting a little extra pressure from the Mother Person to give her grandbabies. I love kids. Adore them even. Well, when they’re well-behaved anyway, though those are harder to find these days *sigh.* In fact, despite better judgment, I really want to have one of my own one day. The world will need future erotica writers, after all! No pressure E.D., Jr, wherever you are.
It just pisses me off that the old woman keeps trying to convince me that the time is now because she’s ready to be a grandmother. How is that fair? A kid isn’t some sort of accessory, at least last time I checked. It’s to be taken seriously and in my own damn time. No matter how many times I tell her I’m not quite at a place where I feel ready for children. Some day, but not right now.
I’m just saying….

I’ve been going over some of my old stories and tweaking them. Some of them, I’m actually surprised I was the one who wrote them, aka they were quite good. So, I have the option of just letting them sit on my hard drive or turning them into self-published ebooks. I don’t know. They’re good to me, but I don’t know if I should or not.
I’m leaning towards doing it, though. So, soon, you may be able to purchase a few of my little ebooks. Giggity. Check back soon!

My Erotic Fiction (The Bang)- Lucid Dream“Is this a dream?” A long pause. “Of course,” he responded with a wry smile. He reached out, long fingers beaconing for mine. Hesitantly, I walked towards him and obeyed his silent request. He held my hand tightly for a moment before entwining our fingers. Locked together, he pulled me closer to him until barely […]
