#Bloganuary 12

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the latest question in our Bloganuary series!

What chore do you find the most challenging to do?

Jayden: Pack Richard’s lunch. I eat the same thing for lunch every day and even so, I have a list of what goes in my lunch posted on the refrigerator. Richard doesn’t like to eat the same thing every day (totally fair), so I have to really think about what I’m putting in it, and sometimes I forget stuff. Thankfully, we planned for that, and he keeps extra snacks at work. 🙂

#Bloganuary 11

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the latest question in our Bloganuary series!

How do you define success?

Jayden: Success is such a broad word.

Success as an author: being able to do it full time.

Success as a blogger: having enough followers. (What’s enough?)

Success as a mother: having a independent children who can take care of themselves.

Success as a partner: helping bring balance and happiness to my partner’s life.

Those are just a few. Tell us in the comments how you define success.

#Bloganuary 10

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the latest question in our Bloganuary series!

Has a book changed your life?

Jayden: Sure. 100%. Whether it was my first mystery novel (Stillwatch by Mary Higgins Clark) taken out of my grandmother’s closet after her passing, or the Midnight Circus by Erin Morgenstern which I finished and literally started reading over again, there have been countless books that have changed my life.

Richard: Animorphs. Duh. I feel like (for millenials) this question has to be have an “other than Animorphs” at the end, to avoid everyone giving the same answer.

I don’t actually have a good answer other than Animorphs. I think I used all the brain power I had on this question to be flippant.

#Bloganuary 9

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the latest question in our Bloganuary series!

What is the most memorable gift you have received?

Jayden: Honestly, it’s hard for me to come up with stuff. When I think of gifts, I think of the gifts I give others and forget the ones I got. I think the most memorable one right now is the set of pearls Richard got me for my birthday two years ago. It was particularly memorable because he remembered me telling him that I didn’t have my own pearls and tried to steal my mom’s, so he bought me my own set. It’s not just that it was pretty jewelry (though it is), but that he remembered a conversation we had and acted on it.

#Bloganuary 8

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the latest question in our Bloganuary series!

How far back in your family tree can you go?

Jayden: I can trace my family tree all the way back to the Mayflower. It’s pretty cool to see it go all the way back that far. (It probably also means that some of my ancestors were awful people, but thankfully we’ve learned a thing or two over the generations.)

#Bloganuary 7

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the latest question in our Bloganuary series!

Write a short story or poem about rain.

Jayden:

The rain wouldn’t stop pouring outside. It had been days and days and days. All anyone wanted was a break from the rain. But mother nature didn’t comply. “Master?” I said, kneeling at my Dom’s feet.

“Yes, pet?”

“I want to be able to go outside again.”

“I know, pet,” he said, and he scritched me behind the ear.

My favorite thing to do was for Master to take me outside on my leash, sometimes making me pee outside. I loved the feeling of the cool grass on my legs and hands, tickling me as I crawled around. I loved feeling the cool breeze across my naked body. But when it rained, cool became cold and exhilarating became uncomfortable.

“Maybe I’ll make you go outside anyway, pet.”

I whimpered, but even as I protested, my pussy dripped with arousal at the thought of being forced by my Master.

#Bloganuary 6

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the latest question in our Bloganuary series!

Why do you write?

Jayden: It’s a good creative outlet.

Richard: *Looks up from pile of manuscripts, critique letters, and seminar readings* TO FINISH THIS DAMN MFA!

#Bloganuary 5

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the second question in our Bloganuary series!

What brings you joy in life?

Jayden: Doing things for others. I like being able to help other people. It’s almost a curse. All I want is a thank you, and I’m happy to do almost anything. (That might be why I lean so heavily submissive…)

Richard: Cooking for others.

#Bloganuary 4

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the second question in our Bloganuary series!

What is a treasure that’s been lost?

Jayden: My mom lost my grandmother’s diamond engagement ring. She inherited it when my grandmother passed away. She was devastated. I assured her that it wasn’t a big deal (it wasn’t valuable, just sentimental) and that we had our pictures and memories that were more important. That was almost a decade ago and it chokes me up when I think about it, but I won’t tell my mom because it will just upset her.

Richard: The ability to take Swiss Army Knives on a plane.

#Bloganuary 3

Hello readers! We’re here with the answer to the second question in our Bloganuary series!

What is the earliest memory you have?

Jayden: I have a very vague memory of my mom’s best friend’s house that she sold when I was 3 or 4. Other than that, I remember watching TV with my parents and playing school in Kindergarten. Nothing particularly crazy.

Richard: My mom yelling at me for brushing my teeth wrong. Like, I spit and it got on her toothbrush or something. I was 2? 3?

#Bloganuary 2

Hello readers! Jayden here with the answer to the second question in our Bloganuary series!

How are you brave?

Jayden: I have an intense dislike of change. My therapist and I have spoken about it at length. And yet, I took a huge step ~2 years ago and ended my 12+ year marriage. It was a super difficult thing to do, but it was the right thing to do for myself. It took a lot of bravery to take that step, but I am much happier now, and I’m glad I did it.

#Bloganuary 1

Hello readers! We’re here today to bring you the first in a returning series: Bloganuary! Honestly, we totally forgot about this until the email popped up from them today. Whoops! So, surprise, you get a little tidbit from (at least) one of us every day in January to kick off the year! But don’t worry, our other plans haven’t changed at all.

Bloganuary is a challenge to blog every day in January with a prompt from WordPress. The prompts don’t come out until almost the day of, so we have to write every day for it to work.

So here is the first installment. Day 1:

What is something you want to achieve this year?
