I think my favorite female character is Amanda Cartwright, the principal character in Youth Revisited. She is a single mom, PhD and a strong woman. In her early 50's she discovers that the young man dating her daughter was a student of hers and has always wanted her. She was very real to me.
I'm also quite fond of Miss Cynthia, a secondary character in Miss Cynthia's Lingerie Shop. She was so popular with the readers of that story that I wrote a second one with her as a primary character.
I like the idea of "Pay for Play." I have at least one story I've written that would fit that category more than the one its in.
Congratulations to the winners ... well deserved.
I am very grateful to have made the Top 10. Thanks to the judges for finding my story acceptable.
Mclintock - I've watched a dozen times (maybe more). A perfect John Wayne movie.
Rio Bravo - Another Wayne classic.
Magnificent Seven - Great Cowboy story
Stagecoach -
Silverado -
Maybe the best 'Western' was the mini-series Lonesome Dove. It stayed true to the book (which was great) and the casting was totally inspired.
I'm thinking that getting aroused at the story is more likely to happen as I'm framing the story in my mind. Once I sit down to write it, I'm more into putting the right words in the correct order in order to convey the feelings that I want the reader to sense.
Sometimes, I'll find that I get excited when I'm re-reading my story.

Early aircraft's throttles had a ball on the end of it. In order to go full throttle the pilot had to push the throttle all the way forward into the wall of the instrument panel.
Hence, "balls to the wall" came to be known for going very fast.
Tonight, while I'm thinking of beautiful women ... Scotch
The University of Virginia is into the the Elite Eight of college basketball.
They played a great game tonight and will make it to the Final Four.
Many, many times. It was especially great back in the days of drive-in movies. But even today a car provides an emergency bedroom when it just has to be done .. right now!
The pre-40 quantitiy was greater, but the post-40 quality was much better.
For *NaughtyG* it would be anything, but pass.
