I fucking hate that disease so much. God, I want a solution to that already. So sorry to hear about Kimmi's dad.

I think Ensorceled pretty much nailed it with the first-person voice getting stuck in your head. 😂

Now I’m wondering if it would actually be easier for me as an inexperienced writer to take some time to properly develop Character B’s own identity and voice, then write Story B in first person too? Or would having both stories in first person end up feeling too samey-samey?

Have their prose be somewhat similar to their dialogue for differing first person views. Once you have down how they talk, writing their narrative will be easier.

Also, are you reading any novels currently? When last have you if you aren't currently? I find writing perspectives comes off easier when I'm reading almost daily since we learn to write passively as we read.

It can be hard to maintain consistency while one is drafting. I have had to edit for sections where the perspective is supposed to be different. My best advice is to take a break before drafting the section where you change perspective.

My first gloryhole story centers a lustful blonde with an oral craving, who falls into the possibility of keeping her mouth full.

For The Love Of The Game

I don't know how to process this or have the appropriate words. R.I.P Carl...

Gloryhole story published:

For The Love Of The Game

Next up, I have to start editing a story where a man has to crash by his daughter's place, while visiting. Her girlfriend's booty shorts drive him nuts. Depending on how fast I edit, that can be published in the latter part of October or early November. No working title yet.

Barely drafted anything this month. Want to change that for the last few days of this month at least.

I am at the most boring stage of editing, which is checking for repetitive single words, two-word and three-word phrases. Christ, I always hate this step as it always takes about a week plus. Good news is after that, is running through Grammarly, then a final read over.

And yes, it's still the gloryhole story.

Chicken Stew with Rice and pigeon peas.

25 published stories?? Sweet Christmas 😳. You haven't been fucking around with the writing and publishing. That's some inspirational shit there!

Hell yeah! Congratulations, dude!!

Men getting their asses licked. I skip that shit swiftly.

This story I published last week was one I drafted back in December 2023. Yes, you read that correctly 😅.

It's another story in the money category. This time about a redhead who needs to involve another party to clear her debt.

Have a read of She Work Hard For The Money

Currently in the first pass of editing a gloryhole story. I believe I can have that ready to publish early next month, the latest.

Friday and Saturday nights, I pantsed drafts for two separate tales. Neither draft is complete yet, but it feels good to just pants a draft, which I haven't done in a while. I completed another draft Sunday that I started last month and left at 291 words at that time. Will have to edit the ending when that phase comes as it's too close to another story I published.

Um, damn. Grey covered most of it, tbh.

Elmore Leonard has this thing where he says leave out the parts that people don't care to read. As Grey said, just pepper bits about the world as you tell the story, but don't waste your or readers' time with over descriptions of systems that will make people tune out.

Might very well be a married woman I dealt with in my late 20s. Sloppiest blowjobs for sure. She'd have my balls soaked.

No, it doesn't.

Nope.

Less responsibility. That's it.

The draft I want to work on editing this month is a gloryhole story. Hopefully I can get it done without too much hassle. I want to attempt starting a few more drafts if I can. August, I only completed three.

I predict this year will end with anywhere from 4-6 stories published. I hope 2027, I can get close to double digits or even over.

Mortal Kombat 2

Kind of like Just_A_Guy, I mainly Google facts to ensure accuracy, but other than that, I don't go too deep into it.

Missed 3 days for drafting last week. Only managed 5500 or so words last week. My goal was 10,000.

I finished a draft at least. The other one is still going and well... I feel kinda meh about it, but we'll see. I have to start another one, which I hope goes smoothly.

As for editing old drafts, the one I am editing is still within its first pass. Hopefully I can finish that first pass today or tomorrow, complete the 2nd pass this week, then from there is reducing word and phrase frequency, etc, etc.

My drafts usually start with a short scene, as if I were a voyeur watching and listening. Then I hit the hard part - what happened before that scene? What do the people in it do next? I hear you about awkward.

But 1272 words last night? Way to go!

Thank you. Once I really get pulled into it, I could churn out even more. Where I am going to have issues is writing the sex scenes.

Started drafting last night for the first time in over a year, and it felt so strange. So unnatural. Then I started to feel myself in the crowd of the concert arena and realized this, or rather remembered:

I always feel awkward when beginning a draft. But it's been so long since last I did it, I forgot how unnatural it feels in the beginning before I start flowing with the characters and universe.

The second draft I started suffered from that when I started getting bored drafting the first. 1272 words typed lady night. Not bad.

Freaky Deaky by Elmore Leonard

Through ongoing depression and a ton of nihilism, I am trying to get myself back into the drafting and editing game. From my "Story Ideas" file in my old phone, I have randomly selected 10 stories to draft. I will draft stories where ideas are on the new phone as well(less than 10). In short, I will try drafting 10-20 stories.

Now, I already have 11 drafts from January of last year that need to be edited. I will slowly work through those so I can get some more stuff published here.

Anyhow, I have to create outlines for what I have selected to draft and then actually draft them.

One of the stories will be money related. Another about a gloryhole and another about a dad wanting to bang his daughter's girlfriend. Ah well.

Anything blood-related is . Anything 'Step' is .

I haven't drafted anything in over a year. Anything published within this last year were old drafts that I finally edited. I still have 11 to edit, but even editing makes me grumble.

My reading has fallen off a lot this year, which doesn't help matters, but my desire to read is slowly coming back. With that, hopefully my will to outline and draft will return also.

Listen, here's the reality: Women are the gender more sympathized with, thus they will receive way more grace with body positivity. It's best to accept that is the way it is, and move forward accordingly.

Okay, what solutions have been tried in this scenario? What are the weak areas that need to be worked on? Also, how would you rate your own coachability on a 1 to 10 scale?
