It's Finished

Finally, after literally years in the making (or rather years languishing), 'Do Not Disturb' is finally finished and awaiting my final proofing before being sent out to all the various websites for posting. I had started the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested' not long after posting 'Maid', however time and other projects got in the way and it sat there in parts and pieces waiting to be assembled. It took a lot longer than I thought to complete it but I am happy with the result, even though I played with the ending quite a bit.

I really don't know what I want to start on next. More 'Summer Training' is tempting while I have the plot fresh in my skull. 'Double Or Nothing' also has the same splotch on my gray matter. The latest chapter of 'On French Soil' is nearly complete and I find that trying to finish is much more difficult than I had imagined. I know that I have to be in the 'right mood' sound like a cop out, but putting my thoughts 'In Period' recently has been hard.

I am also slowly working on the Index Of Stories page. Eventually I hope to have links and such included. Right now, however, the story codes are what I am focusing on now.

Take care and watch for 'Do Not Disturb'.

Things In The Inbox

A New Year is approaching fast and there are several things I hope to accomplish in the coming year. First, with the completion of 'Summer Project', I will begin 'Summer Training'. I won't give up any details, but Stephanie's training as a slave to Jeffery will continue. My hopes of completing 'Do Not Disturb' over the holidays has vanished, but I still hope to complete it here very soon. I am putting the final touches on a new chapter of 'On French Soil' and hope to add more chapters to it and to 'Wrath'.

Since non-consensual works seem to be better received by my readers, a new storyline has developed in my twisted gray matter. The first chapter of 'Double Or Nothing' will appear soon. It is one of those things that I have kept in the back of my head since midway through 'Summer Project' but have never actually got to writing it. I hope to satisfy those of you out there that enjoy that sort of fiction.

As you can see my 'Index Page' is slowly evolving. I am not adept as I should be with internet technologies so it might be slow going before I get links to all the stories.

You can also see in my index that there are numerous stories that have not been completed. I hope to finish a few of them this coming year.

As always, I enjoy any comments or e-mails you wish to write. Not all websites have a comment area so the only way of letting me know what you thought is by you commenting here or through e-mails.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and the your New Year is bright and joyous.

Christmas Is Here. . .

At least, Gromet's Christmas page is up, so any readers looking for 'Decorations' or 'Wish Lists' can find both there. So enjoy this year's stories and hopefully next year will allow me to get more written.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the stories I have managed to get out this year. Hopefully 'Do Not Disturb' will be making it's appearance soon. I have also finished the first draft of the first chapter of 'Summer Training', the sequel to 'The Summer Project'. I am hoping to get at least another chapter done to make posting a little more consist ant.

Don't forget to Visit Gagged Utopia after January 2nd to read 'Exchanges', which will be exclusive to their site.

In my Index section, you will be able to find other holiday tales highlighted in red. 'Yule Tied' e-book has several xmas stories as well.

It has been a busy season and I look forward to having a little time off.


Happy Holidays

The Summer Project E-book Available


Yes, it is here. The Summer Project E-book is available to purchase. That doesn't mean that I won't post the last chapter. I still plan on doing that sometime in January/February. However, if you can't wait, you can find out what happens with Stephanie and Jeffery in the e-book now, published by Burping Frog.
I want to thank my friend Robert of Bondage Damsels for his photograph used for the cover and the lovely Carissa Montgomery for posing.

Wish Lists Has Been Sent

Yes, I did it. The second Christmas story has been sent out to several different websites to be posted soon. It should be posted to Gromet's Plaza on the 22nd, just like 'Decorations'. I do not know when other sites will post the story, but hopefully before Christmas.

Take care.

'Decorations' and other Xmas stuff

I have heard from Gromet and he has recieved 'Decorations' and will post it with his Christmas page on the 22nd of this month. It is going to be the only place you will be able to enjoy this sequel. I have also finished the first draft of 'Wish Lists' and should be sending to get posted this week sometime.

Now that my 'holiday' writing is done, I can get back to getting some other works I have set aside. I plan on having a new chapter to 'On French Soil' completed soon as well as the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested.'

Please feel free to write me or to post a comment about anything. Some of my better stories came from ideas readers sugested.

'Decorations' has been sent to Gromet's Plaza and everyone should be able to read it soon. It is my little gift to you for the holiday season. I am working on something else, but I do not know if it will be ready for Christmas or not, but I am hoping that it is.

Christmas 'Decorations'

Well the Christmas poll closed and I have been writing furiously to get the sequel to 'Ornaments' done. Well, the first draft is now complete and I should have it sent off to Gromet's Plaza sometime this weekend. It is actually more of a continuation of the story than an actual sequel, so you should probably read them together. The story will be entitled 'Decorations.'

With that out of the way. I am also planing another holiday story and hopefully I will get that done in time as well.

Take care and play safe,

Of The Love Of Bondage

I woke up at 4:00 this morning and after trying several times, couldn't get back to sleep. It has been awhile since I have related my personal views of bondage and that has been where my thoughts have been this morning. It is really hard to describe the feeling of having a woman laying beside you bound and gagged. She trusts you with her safety and her pleasure. She has given you herself on a silver platter for both herself and you.

I have never really been a trusting person by past experience. Being shy and a nerd, I was teased quite a bit in school. It wasn't until college that I started dating. By then, my tastes in the bedroom had already formed. It was hard when relationships started get serious because I was afraid in revealing my love of helpless women would drive them away. Fortunately, most understood and actually desired to be tied. I guess it was the kind of women I was attracted to and the type of person that I am.

Anyway, to have a woman that has given up her freedom even if it is for an hour or two is one of the warmest feelings I have ever had. Having a willing partner is a treasure beyond compare.

Take care, everyone, and play safe.

Summer Project Chapter 24 Posting

Chapter 24 of 'The Summer Project' has been sent out to be posted on various websites and soon you should be able to enjoy it before Thanksgiving. Thank all of you for your patience in this. Writing takes time and life has been hectic as of late.

I am re-writing the first chapter of 'Summer Training'. The previous first chapter was started when I had not finished 'Project' and several major changes would have to be made in order to make it work the way I want it to. So, this morning I started it again and I am pleased with the way it is flowing.

The Christmas story poll is going well and the outcome will determine what story I will start (and complete) next for the holiday.

Take care all,

First Draft Of 'Summer Project' Done!!!

It's done. At least, the first draft of it is done. 'The Summer Project' is a completed work. The next step is to smooth out the wrinkles and ship it off to my proof reader to edit. After that, it gets shipped back to me, I make the necessary changes and then the next step is posting it and getting the e-book together with Burping Frog.

'Summer Training' will be the next 'book' of the two book series. I have a basic outline in my head, however, that can change fairly quickly. I am not planning to commit fully to 'Summer Training' until after the first of the year.

Next, I am planning to finish the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested.' 'Do Not Disturb' is nearly complete and I should have it done by December.

Speaking of December and the yuletied holiday, I am in the planning stages for my annual Christmas story. There is a survey you can check or you can voice your opinion of what story you want to see here. Christmas will be here before you know it, so please let me know what you would like to see.

Please take care and be safe,

Nearing The End Of 'Summer'

I have been up since 5 this morning, unable to sleep in as I intended. After playing a few nearly-mindless games on the computer, I decided to do some editing and writing. As the result, chapter 25 of 'Summer Project' is nearly complete. As of this moment, the page count sits at 20 and t looks like it will end at page 21 or so. I hope to finish it this weekend.

As I 'put this one to bed', I have to say that I am pleased with what I have written. It has become a finished work. From what was just a collection of situations and positions it has, I hope, developed into something a little bit more with believable characters and believable bondage.

It was a long journey to get to this point, longer than I had ever anticipated. Stephanie and Jeffery are finally getting the ending they needed to have.

'On French Soil' is the next on the chopping block to get finished. I have stopped working on the latest chapter in order to finish 'Summer Project'. The fire is still there to finish it so all I really need is some time to do it. Also, the 'sequel' to 'Maid Service Requested' is so close to the finish line that it would be a crime not to complete it shortly.

Gromet has his Halloween pages up so drop by and take a look. 'Invaded' is there as well as several other new stories (and old).

'Invaded' Has Been Posted

This year's halloween tale, 'Invaded', has been posted to various websites. Gromet's Plaza is having his annual Halloween page, so readers will likely to find it there. As I have mentioned before, Brandy and Grant make their re-appearence from 'A New Haunt' and 'Coffin Duty'.

On a personal note, I have caught a really nasty cold that had me up all night. So I am going to crawl into bed and hope to catch some sleep.

Where Is That Darn Chapter 24. . .

If you are looking for chapter 24 of 'Summer Project', you will find that I haven't posted it yet. My intent is to finish the last chapter, chapter 25 before posting chapter 24. I am planning to send both to my proof-reader shortly and soon you should be able to read that elusive chapter.

This weekend I am planning on finishing the Halloween story. I have about four pages done with another 3 or 4 more to go. I really want too have it done for your goodie bag by the holiday.

That is it for now. Play safe.

Spooky. . .

I have started my Halloween tale for this year and I should have posted before you go out and trick-or-treat. I am also putting the finishing touches on 'The Summer Project' chapter 25. The last chapter is a long one since I need to tie up a loose end or two, but it will be the end of years of writing in my spare time.

I have also re-title the next 'book' of the 'Summer' series, and it will be entitled 'Summer Training'. That is the title and I have already got a few paragraphs written for it.

Finishing 'On French Soil' will be my next big project. The next chapter in nearing completion. I also plan on finishing the sequel to 'Do Not Disturb.' It also is nearly complete and just needs me and a few empty hours to finish it.

'Summer' Nearing Completion

Progress on chapter 25 0f 'The Summer Project' is going quite well. I am up to page six and anticipate completing more pages this weekend. 'Summer Games' will pick-up where 'Project' leaves off but it will be it's own work in it's own right.

Summer Project Chapter 24

Well, it is early morning and I have just completed the latest chapter of 'The Summer Project' and it is onto THE last chapter of this book. I have the last chapter firmly composed in my mind so I should make short work of it (famous last words).

Now, I know most of you are bondage aficionados and know a good portion of the adult stars out there on the web. So I thought it would be fun to see who you guys would cast as the characters if 'Summer Project' was turned into a movie. I am quite interested in your responses, so please let me know.

The title to the next 'Summer' book is coalescing in my mind and I am 90% sure it will be entitled 'The Summer Games'.

Summer Project And Other Things

Well, work is progressing on 'The Summer Project' and the next chapter is nearly complete. However, I am planning on releasing both chapters 24 and 25 together and finishing the first part of the tale. So, it will be awhile before they are ready.

Halloween is but a short month away and I have started thinking of another bondage tale to tell. I am bring back Brandy and friends for another haunted house scare. I also would like to do an independent story involving witches, but it has yet to evolve in my twisted gray matter.

I have not forgotten 'On French Soil' and have been working on the next chapter.

That is about all the news I have for you. Again, feel free to comment or send me an e-mail. I do like to hear from you.

On French Soil

Slowly, I am making some progress on the latest chapter of 'On French Soil', having taken a break from 'Summer Project'. The later has not been flowing together the way that I like and I feel like I am forcing some issues with it. So, I pulled up the last chapter I had been working on for 'On French Soil' and have started to slowly add to it. I have forgotten some of the complexities of the story line and had to read my notes on the matter. I am sure that I will have a much better go of it once I strat writing on more of a regular basis. The new series on Showtime 'Pillars Of The Earth' has also helped set the tone/mood for getting back into writing a period piece.

Take care, everyone.

Time Is Really Short. . .

Well, another self imposed deadline has coming and I am nowhere near getting anything done this month that I had planned. My weekends have disappeared in a storm of chores (The Battle Of The Weeds has been getting quite heated) and my real job has taken up more than it's fair share of attention. I still hope to get some writing done this weekend, however.

Progress On 'Summer' And Other Things

It was a burner of a day here, a perfect time to get some writing done. Of course, I first had to slaughter some weeds and replace a leaky faucet hose on the sink, but I still managed to get 2 1/2 pages written for 'The Summer Project' chapter 24. I am still debating on how I want to end the first 'book' and begin the second. Part of me is leaning towards my typical cliffhanger ending that I am sure, piss more than a few people off. Part of me wants to wrap the first 'book' up so it is a completed storyline but with a lead in into the next 'book'. The later will probably turn out to be two chapters rather than the final one. The 'One Chapter Solution' would definitely make sure readers jump to the next series of writings involving Jeffery & Co. . Regardless, progress is being made towards completion of whatever it turns out being.

I have started to glance at my notes and outlines for 'On French Soil' so I can start where I left off. It is a complicated storyline and I hope start writing something for it within the next two weeks. I am also re-reading Shakespeare's 'Henry The V' so I can get the rhythm of the diction back into place.

For those of you that are fans, please feel free to follow me on Twitter or right here on Blogspot. As always, I also welcome e-mails.

'On French Soil' Looks Like The Winner

The poll is closed and I want to first thank everyone that participated. It looks like I will be working on 'On French Soil' as well as finishing up 'Summer Project'. 'On French Soil' is this authors favorite storyline and I have put off adding to it for way too long of a time.

I was somewhat surprised that 'Sacrifice' did not get a single vote, especially since the last poll showed several of you wanting to see something in the 'fantasy' genre with bondage involved. If you haven't read it, you can find it on Gromet's website.

I hope to get some writing done this weekend. It promises to be a hot one here so the appeal of sitting in front of the computer in the cool of the morning is very great.

For those 'Summer Project' fans, I have been working on the next chapter(s) and I hope to have something done by the end of this month.

Taking A Little Time Off

Normally, I would be getting ready to go into the furnace I call work. However, I am taking today off as a mental health day. I had fully intended to sleep in, but my internal clock told me it was time to get up so here I am. I checked Twitter and my mail and after waking up a bit more, I think I will take advantage of the quiet morning to write.

For the last chapter of 'Summer Project', I keep re-writing it in my head. I know it must seem strange, but I want the plot line to make sense. For me, this is the best way of doing it. I want to make sure that the 'book' will stand on it's own and what happens feels realistic.

Well, time to take a shower and turn on the coffee and see about getting some serious writing done.

After A Weekend Gone Bad. . .

Well, this last weekend was not the weekend I had planned and the long and short of it was the actions of one irresponsible person who cares only for himself . I won't go into the details, but needless to say the waiting around for commitments he had made and didn't bother to call for change of plans killed Saturday and Sunday and has spilled over into today (having to take a day off of work to do what he should have been doing). So, after getting home I needed to do something 'constructive' and I started to work on 'Not Your Garden Variety' story again and made significant progress. It also put me in a much better mood. I should have the story done this weekend and posting it to Gromet's website.

I would also like to finish the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested' which has been languishing in my computer. It shouldn't take much to complete that one either.

I have started getting a few followers on Twitter and hope to add a few more.

Take care everyone,

'Not Your Garden Variety' and Other Things

It is another hot Saturday, though the cloud cover promises a little respite from the heat. I plan to work on the finishing touches to 'Not Your garden Variety' tomorrow, if my cats allow me to. The youngest has ensconced herself in front of my computer screen and is toying with anything loose on my desk. Her current plaything is an orange pen.

It was inevitable, but someone has guessed at the ending of 'Summer Project,' at least, close enough to call it. I was hoping to keep it a surprise, but apparently there are a few twisted, like-minded readers out there. There will be a twist or two coming, however, that I hope nobody sees coming. The final chapter is pretty much written in my head, I just need to transfer it into the computer. It will be a long chapter, with the possibility of becoming two (but I plan to release both at the same time if that is the case.)

The next 'Book' in the Stephanie/Jeff saga will continue where the first book left off. 'Summer Project' will be able to stand on it's own, but the second 'Book' will be a sequel in the truest sense. I have yet to come up with a suitable title, but I think I am getting closer.

That being said, I will be shifting gears to focus on a short story or two. I have several in dire need of being completed, so I hope to get at least one more complete before going onto the last chapter of 'The Summer Project' and the first chapter of 'Revealing For Summer' (It's a working title, I still haven't come up with a good one yet.)

Rainy & Writing

It is a cold, drizzly day here, perfect for writing. The latest chapter of 'Summer Project' is going well and I am about halfway through with the first draft. I hope to make a lot of progress in the next couple of days, seeing that the garden is not getting any attention to day.

After 'Summer Project', I want to focus on getting a few short stories done that I had started. After that, the final chapter of 'Summer Project'. Hopefully by the end of the summer I should have a fair amount done.

I am currently contemplating a new poll, but every idea I come up with seems to have more choices than I would like (such as, who is your favorite bondage model?). So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Working On 'Summer Project'

I have started writing again on 'Summer Project', picking up where I had left off many moons ago and things seem to be going smoothly and in the direction I want it to (believe it or not, sometimes stories can take on a life of their own and wander off somewhere you hadn't thought of before.) This should be the second to last chapter, depending on how long I make this one. But, I hope to wrap-up the first 'book' of 'Summer Project' sooner than later.

It has been a long time since I have actually discussed much on this blog, and for that, I am sorry. I will try to post more often.

For those visiting for the first time, take sometime and explore a bit. Tell me what your favorite story is or who is your favorite character. Make yourself at home. Hopefully you might find something interesting here.

Back In The Saddle Again. . .

Well, it has been awhile, but I have finally started writing again. Yesterday I completed 2 pages and I hope to do the same today. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it is for me considering that I haven't written word one for nearly six months. So I hope to make it more of a habit and get things completed. For now though, the fact that I am writting anything is a good thing.

It hailed here yesterday with stones as large as marbles and it tore up the gardens pretty bad. So later today I will be out there getting some cleaning up done. Fortunately, there was no damage to the roof or my car.

Yes, I Am Alive

It has been quite sometime since my last post and the number of words written on any of my stories would equal that of the Sunday comics. The responsibilities of my new position are huge and I am quite exhausted at the end of my work day and things around the house are not much better, now that spring is here and the lawn and gardens beckon.

I hope to find some writing time soon. The bug is getting to me and not being able to write is getting to be annoying (I am sure it is for you people too.) So, I hope you can wait a little bit longer before stoning me.

Why I haven't been around

As you have noticed, I haven't posted in awhile. This is because my new responsibilities take a good portion of my time, much more than my previous ones. My writing has come to a virtual halt. It isn't that I have writer's block or I have a lack of material, it is just that at the end of my working day I am so damn tired and weekends are now spent catching up on everthing else.

That being said, I am hoping to squeeze in some writing time this week. I need to complete 'Summer Project' and I need to finish 'Breaking Bread' so I can post them.

That is is for now. Everyone take care.

Slaving Away

Well, I have got several more pages written for 'Breaking Bread' and the latest chapter to 'Summer Project'. Both are going well and I hope to complete them by the end of this month. 'Breaking Bread' is a fun self-bondage tale that came about while I was using my bread machine. I don't do a lot of self-bondage stories, but this one just sort-of started writing itself.

'On French Soil' will be the next project I need to tackle, at least add another chapter or two. It is one of those stories I have to re-read in order to get back into the 'style' of the tale.

On a side note, as I was writing 'Breaking Bread', my mind wandered a bit to remembering one of the sexiest bondage photographs I had ever seen. It was one of a young Michelle Bauer, nude, gagged and hogtied on the carpeted floor. The black-and-white photo was taken by Sean Harper and, to me, the essence of what bondage is. I was in college when I saw it for the first time and the image is still as sharp in my mind as the first time I saw it in the pages of the adult magazine.

It is funny how some things stick with you.

Pain

Pain, for me, is a very hard subject to deal with. Personally, I really don't enjoy inflicting it in my personal life. There are other, subtle tortures I like to inflict on my partners (tickling and teasing, to name a couple). I have known 1 or two 'pain sluts' in my wanderings, but on some deep level I never understood it. From an intellectual standpoint, I know about the release of endorphins and how that 'high' is what that sub is looking for. For me, however, pain is pain and usually to be avoided.

Now, I have used floggers in a limited way, adjustible clamps as well as candle wax; all of these with great moderation. I have professional training in the use of the whip but I would never use one on a human being. I could also see myself spanking or paddling someone.

That being said, you can know see how it affects my writing. I very rarely use pain as a substitute for pleasure in my stories and that is the reason why.

Take care

A Word About Gags

Okay, you have noticed by now that a lot of my stories use gags. For me, I love the sounds a woman makes while gagged. Of the few I have had the pleasure of gagging, I found they were more vocal with the gag than without. I have never been really turned on by 'dirty talk' and the gag also eliminates that as well.

When playing, it is hard to have a safe word when gagged, so we usually use a hummed song to let the other know that something is wrong.

There is also a huge variety of gags on the market now, not just the old red ball gag. Some are more effective than others and some allow some oral play while still inhibiting 'free speech'.

If you have a gag story you would like to share, please feel free to post it here or e-mail me. I would love to hear it.

Take care and play safe,

T.S.





Weekend Plans

This weekend I am hoping to get done the last chapter of 'Summer Project' and perhaps complete a short self-bondage piece. I also hope to work on parts of the new sequel book 'Revealing Summer' as well. Of course, some chores may get in the way, but mornings tend to be my writing time ( I am a morning person by nature).

Things are hugely hectic at work right now and I do not see that changing in the near future. That means very little writing during the week proper..

The 'Consensual vs Non-Consenual' informal survey hasn't been added to in awhile. Please feel free to add your comments to it: Fesseln's Fiction September 2008. I do read everyone's comments and e-mails.

Take care

Ideas

So, some of you might be wondering where do I come up with ideas. Most of the time they just pop into my twisted gray matter like a thorny rose. Other times, a reader might make a suggestion that starts to take on a life of it's own. Today, I was typing on Chapter 23 of 'Summer Project' while I was baking some bread when a story idea just flowered. In fact, I stopped what I was working on and started the new story before the thought disappeared into the ether.

At times it may seem that I am ignoring any ideas or suggestions you may have made, but in truth, they may be aging quietly until the right story come along. So please, feel free to e-mail me any suggestions you may have.

Take care and have a wonderful new year.
