A Look Into Some Twisted Gray Matter (and other things)

Every once in awhile, I like to give readers a glimpse in how I work (I know, pretty scary). One of the most important ways I approach a story is how to describe it. The way I view myself is that I am a motion picture camera, trying to capture everything in the scene that is important and giving the reader a sense of place. For instance, I have a mental blueprint of Jeffery and Stephanie's parents house. I know the layout, the furniture, the decor. I try to express that in words without detracting from the story itself. I know that I am not always successful but I hope that readers get a sense of the place as well. I am working on Chapters 7 and 8 of 'Summer Training'. What I had pictured taking up 1 to 2 chapters, is now running into 4. I have had some contenuity issues that I have had to correct, but I think the end product is going to be great. I still plan to release a chapter a month, but that might change if I get enough material written and proofed. Someone has graciously offered to proof 'On French Soil'. I know it is a massive undertaking and I hope (again) to get another chapter done for it. So until next time, play safe T.S.

Summer Training

For those that follow me on Twitter, it will come as no suprise that I am currently working on Chapter 3 of 'Summer Training'. I have tried to work on other projects, but 'Training' keeps on creeping into my writing time. The plot seems to be cementing itself even as I write. I am also working on 'Double Or Nothing' a bit as well. The two go hand-in-hand even though they are seperate story lines.

I promise I will work on 'On French Soil' and 'Wrath' shortly. Promise. However, with 'Summer Project' finished and doing well, working on 'Summer Training' seems to be the right thing to do.

I hope everyone's New Year was safe and joyous.

Play safe,

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'.

'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.

Take care

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).

Take care

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.

Take care all and play safe.

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.

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.

Take Care and Play Safe,

'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.

As always, take care
