Progress!

I have actually been editing!

I edited about 10 chapters today and I only have 20 left (of 66) to finish editing Y is for Yes! I may do one more read through to make sure I have everything before I get it ready for publishing, but that depends a lot on time. I am determined to get this book out this month!

On a side note: I love when I answer my own questions. As I’m reading, I jot down notes – foreshadowing details and the like to make sure they go somewhere or get addressed later. I love when I find that I have answered those questions within the next chapter or two!

Current Project Update

Hello faithful readers!

In August, I had set a goal to finish editing Y is for Yes from July. Unfortunately, I #failed at that goal, but I haven’t given up on it! With renewed interest, I am working on editing that, and hope to have it out before NaNoWriMo next month.

I also would like to update the cover of my second novel, Runaway. The cover image in my head just didn’t stand up to reality.

AND I would like to edit and re-release my first novel (written in 2013), Slave. I’ve learned so much since I wrote it, and I would really like to see it through to a better novel.

That’s a tall order with just ~3 weeks left in the month. But, as my friend over at Uniquely Maladjusted But Fun said, “If anyone else said they wanted to do that, I’d think they were crazy, but you might actually do it.”

And what’s the worst that happens? I don’t reach my goal, but I move steadily toward it.

So here’s to accomplishing goals and never giving up!

#NaNoWriMo

It is (almost) that time of year again! Whoa. Where did the year go? Seriously.

In any case, as it’s October, my local NaNoWriMo group gets together once a week to Plot! It’s one of the most fun and more social events of the year. So even though we meet every week year around, October has a lot more focus.

So the other night at the event, I started throwing around ideas. Do I start a new project? Finish last year’s project? Work on the joint project with two other people (where we each write chapters)? Work on my A to Z Blog Challenge Blogs?

Keeping in mind that I am aiming to write 104,203 words (which takes my lifetime NaNo word count to 750,000 words). So some of those projects are just not long enough to make that happen.

I’ll save you the two hours of waffling between ideas and tell you what I figured out!

I am going to work on… *wait for it*… multiple projects!

I can write ~20,000 words in my group project, ~20,000 words for my A to Z Blog Challenge*, and hopefully make progress on last year’s NaNo**. And my backup plan is to take one of the stories I started in April and continue that! All the options!

*More on this idea later!

**Last year, I worked on a Choose Your Own Adventure. 100,000 words and I am not nearly done. The down side is that I have to review what I already wrote so that I’m able to continue the story.

Thanks for keeping up with my crazy plans! I’m editing and I’m making progress, and hopefully there will be some great new content for you coming before the end of the month!

Gooood Morning!

Usually I post polished (or mostly polished) fiction, but today I’m going to post something a little different. I have always been pretty private about my life because my privacy is very important to me. Only because I have a day job that requires discretion.

So as I’ve thought about what I could or should write on here that would be more than short stories or answering TMI Tuesday questions, I thought about what I like reading in other blogs. I love to hear real life stories about other people’s experiences.

So I thought I would tell you a bit about my very wonderful morning…

I woke up after hubby, as always, but he had stayed in bed. We lay next to each other reading for a little while (blogs for me, gaming books for him) and then we instinctively rolled toward each other on the big bed. He playfully spanked my ass lightly. I told him he was being a tease… Whoops.

Now let me tell you about our dynamic. If you’ve followed my blog at all, you may have noticed it has a lot of BDSM elements. In some aspects, we are a 24/7 D/s couple. If he wants sex, he’ll get it. Outside the bedroom and play time, we’re equals in all things: raising the kids, budgeting, running the household, etc. But if we’re alone, and he wants it to be playtime, it is.

Anyway, this morning.

He kissed me and rolled me over so he could really spank me. I can sit here and tell you I didn’t really like the sharp sting (I much prefer a thuddy cane), but my wet pussy doesn’t lie.

Then he started playing with my clit and fingering me. But he wasn’t getting me to orgasm. We’ve been together more than a decade, so it’s unusual for him to not get me off quickly. And then he whispered in my ear, “Do you want to cum?”

Of course I said yes.

“Maybe next time you’ll think twice about telling me I’m a tease. This is teasing.”

Shit.

Thankfully he did let me cum, but only with the understanding that I was going to suck him clean after he fucked me. I don’t like doing it, but when he asks, I always do.

With that understanding secured, he slid down the bed and got between my legs. Using both his fingers and his tongue, he had me screaming into a pillow in moments. Then he crawled back up my body and slid inside me. I held on tight, loving the feel of his cock inside me and the strength in his arms as he held himself above me.

After he filled me with his cum, he rolled off and I crawled over, taking him into my mouth. I am not a huge fan of the taste of myself, but it’s worth it to hear his grunts of pleasure as I suck his softening cock.

We had a quick cuddle, and then up to start the day! No rest for the weary, but at least we got to have a little fun. 🙂

Success!

I had a lot of trouble keeping up with reading all the amazing blogs I have found. Most were from the A to Z Blog Challenge, and comments on those other blogs led me to more amazing blogs. I followed all of them and subscribed to emails so I would see the new posts. That was all fine and dandy until I didn’t look at that email for a month. Oops.

For the last couple days I have been working really hard to get through them all, read and comment. And today I did it!

I also want to make sure I keep my own blog up to date. I’m not sure who out there keeps coming back, but I have hits on the site every day, so someone’s checking for new content!

Let me know if there’s anything you want me to talk about here besides uploading fiction.

Speaking of fiction… I have been working on editing Y is for Yes, which was the ultimate winner of the 26 stories I started in April. It’s all written now! So, it’s just a matter of editing, cover art, and formatting and then I can get that out there!

I am hoping to be able to do it by the end of August, so stay tuned (and feel free to poke me about it)!
