Moving forward again without that speed bump in the way.

It was feeling a little out of place at the point in the story where I was.

Ended up backtracking on that sex scene in Queen. Saving that particular turning point for later.

And having my stats be invisible for a month makes my nerves itch LOL So time to bow out.

They actually do worse, because some always grade on a slightly more realistic curve because it's a contest.

Without a chance of placing, there's no real benefit. Contest stories don't do any better than regular postings.

The micro is probably my last contest entry at Lush. There's just too large a field of better writers.

I can understand a little fudging +1 or 2 words for the category, but in a competition...

Good stories, but that hundred word requirement seems to be falling by the wayside.

Hmm... for an exactly 100 words competition, there are a lot of 99, 101, and 102 making the cut in the current comp on Lush...

That's what takes the time and concentration in other sex scenes.

Sex there too, but it's a way different animal when you're dealing with jaded prostitutes. Most of it is light on details and devoid of emotion.

On sex scenes in both Queen and GoE, and not really feeling it. So, I started chapter 3 of One Whore's Town.

Same spammer is active on Lushstories.

If you got a PM notification, it was a PM spammer who hit 17 accounts in about a minute, before I could ban them and delete all the spam.

It's that story I've been slowly putting pieces in place for since all the way back in Kindred.

I just dropped an Easter egg for an upcoming story, too. Nobody is going to notice it until that story comes out. It's one, innocuous sentence.

13k on Queen, and I'm finally past the awkward courtship, about to spring that new, better idea I had.

New Ebooks live over there -> for my most recently released stories.

Writing first early dates always takes me forever. LOL Almost through the courtship to where I can hit the main stride I've been setting up.
