Just Stuff

What I find nice about a blog is that I can sometimes ramble a bit. This is one of those times. The first thing is that I have posted a new poll about taking advertising here and I wanted to ask you readers for your opinion. Money has gotten tight around here and a few extra dollars would be nice, but not at the expense of readers. So please fill out the poll and tell me what you think.

I also thought I would give you some background stuff on 'The Summer Project'. The working title was originally 'The Summer Before' and it was really meant as a lead in to a story that I had wrapped up in my brain earlier about a brother and sister that kidnap 3 of the sister's friends during a slumber party. The problem I was having is why would the sister do that. Thus the first sparks of what was to become 'Summer Project'.

'Double Or Nothing' started the same way. I look at a story logically. I really like to make a tale at least somewhat believable and Ray and Janice's collection of bondage gear was, how can I say, excessive. Thus my mind started writing another story that explained this.

It seems like 'Maid Service Requested' is going to be made into a longer work. The problem is I really haven't thought out a plot line for it. The first story was an exercise in perception and I never really thought about a sequel to it. However, I received a lot of e-mails pressing me to do a sequel to it and finally that got done. I have a third piece in mind but beyond that is as blank as a fog bank. I have no idea in which direction to take it.

My proofreader, Dave, has convinced me I need to add a thing or two to 'Summer Training' to reintroduce things that took place in 'Summer Project'. I plan on reviewing the chapters this weekend and adding a few things here and there.

I have finished the rough draft of the second chapter to 'Double Or Nothing'. I plan on going over it this weekend to add some finishing touches.

That is it for today's ramblings. Take care everyone and play safe.
