Howdy!

If I have a multi-chapter story and I want to add new cover art to the entire thing, is there a way to do that besides editing and resubmitting one chapter at a time?

It feels like there might be a quicker way to do this and I didn't know if it gets put in a multi-day queue for every single chapter update.

Unwanted Awareness

Pleasurebot 674 released the vacuum seal that kept her artificial skin held tight. The pale, bruised nano-flesh and blonde hair were covered in unsavory fluids. They were sent down the chute to be cleaned and recolored.

She slipped into the ebony skinsuit her next customer had ordered. 674 was a thing to be used, with all emotions programmed solely for the customer’s pleasure. She wondered, waiting alone on the fresh bedding, "Why am I crying?"

I’ll need to give this a shot. Sci-fi at 500 words is interesting. Normally world building is an important part of the genre. I want to give this a try later. Brain storming for now.

Productive week.

I took off a few days from work to work on a one month video game where I was the writer. Wrote a script for an hour game I was really proud of, and it went so smoothly I had time on my hands.

In a sudden flurry of inspiration, I wanted to do a dirty super hero story. And it just went so fast. I think I spent more time playing with the AI cover than writing, but to be fair it came out awesome.

Before the first chapter was published, I already finished the first draft of the second. I have the series planned out, only another 2-3 chapters to wrap it up. Feels like a good self contained story, and I really like the way my main character develops from a timid sidekick to a bad ass villain.

Also been editing the Steam Bunny series for an Amazon self published release. That may be a week or two out. From there I’m torn. Lots of stuff I want to work on, just not enough time.

I stepped away from this series for a while, but currently working on the next story arc.

The first three chapters are being edited and will soon be available on Amazon as well. I’m planning on putting each story arc up there as well.

Good luck with your book. I didn't think Amazon carried erotica 🤔. Learn something new everyday 😁

They do! A pretty big erotica section, actually. They take a good chunk of the profits, but it’s the price of convenience. And if you want to hook up with an actual publisher, Amazon is a good step to get there as they don’t own the rights to anything you self publish.

Hello! I'm proud to announce that my series 'Pussycat Park' has been through the wringer of editing and cleanup and is now available on Amazon for purchase! The series will be released in two parts due to the massive size of the book. Part one is now up with a free weekend on Amazon. Get it now at no cost, but please leave reviews or ratings if you can! I have extreme confidence in the story itself, just not in my marketing skills. 🤣

Free from Saturday, August 29th till Midnight on August 30th. I'll run another free promotion again in the future.

Pussycat Park is an unassuming urban refuge for the locals. A place for community and good family fun. And for a couple living on the edge of poverty, such as Wolf and Red, it’s one of the only places to go for a cheap date.

But one lonesome night, Wolf discovers Pussycat Park transforms into the personal playground of the manipulative Mistress and her nymphomaniac lover, Kitten. Soon he finds himself dragged into their world of tab00 fantasies and high-end prostitution. But is Red, his fiery fiancée, the real prize Mistress seeks to claim?

In this psycho-sexual thriller told from shifting first-person perspectives, explore the underground world of cruel games, BDSM, and manipulation. Will this be the end of their dying relationship or a brand new beginning?

Pussycat Park is the winner of Lush Stories ‘Recommended Reads’, seven times over.

Just keep going. Momentum is a good thing. I don’t really change anything based on feedback, so I can just keep going.

It was a busy month. Had a health scare with a friend that took my mind off the comp. And before that I was working really hard on self-publishing a story. I wrote my friend a story, they wanted something rough and dirty. I decided to publish it here with some changes.

Now I'm back to self publishing and a pile of different sequels and original stories to write.

Book done, ready for publishing. Waiting on the cover art to finish.

But in the meantime I'm getting it ready to reach out to multiple publishers and to self-publish. And that means I'm needing to do the part I hate most of all... summaries. Trying to figure out multiple short descriptions of the book depending on what various publishers are looking for. Some one 100-150 words. Some want a 300-500 word description. But it's so hard to figure out what's most important to hook in an editor to read more.

Been on a writing break to focus on editing. Pussycat Park, at this point, is nearing what I would consider 'Publisher Ready', I'm really proud of it, and now I'm about 2/3 done with the editing. I've got a bunch of companies I'm going to send it out to and see if there are any bites.

On the back end of that, I'm flooded with inspiration and not near enough time to work on it. I have a fairy story I need to finish, a mostly completed chapter of the Rain sisters, and I really want ot continue the 'Free Use' series.

That's not even counting all the new ideas and personal stories I want to write for my friends.

But too much inspiration is a good problem to have, especially compared to writer's block. Steak to juicy, Lobster too buttery.

Had fairies on my mind lately…

Conversations I have with myself:

Write something sexy dammit. This is a fucking sex site!

But… I like disturbing readers. Just a widdle bit.

No! Bad Kimmi! Move away from the dark side.

How about tentacles? They’re sexy.

No! Write a hot fucking story about humans having hot fucking sex!

Alien anal probing? They’re real—

No!

Okay, okaaayyyy. Me try. (evil grin snakes across my face) 😈

When you have a chance to write something inspired and fucked up, you are under a moral obligation to do that shit!

Got a rough one that’s going through final edits.

Blind Date - This story probably features my most foul mouthed narration, which is saying a lot if you’ve ever went into my Pussycat Park series and read Red’s part.

Emily is a blind editor, very happy to live her life in relative solitude and without relationships. Constantly disappointed by the gentle and cautious way her lovers always treated her, she finds herself enamored by the man who groped her on her morning commute. Encouraging him to be bolder with taunts and vicious mockery, the story climaxes with her stalker breaking into her apartment to give her the rough fucking she has longed for.

Not sure if you could call this cnc, but it’s certainly one of the more brutal pieces I’ve written.

Paint story got out off. Instead I did the first legitimate fantasy story, which will have another couple chapters before it’s over. Now I’m deciding if the next chapter is what I’m working on or the other couple dozen stories that are screaming for my attention.

Been kicking around an idea I’m trying to get on paper about a model being used as a most curious art piece.

‘Paint’ will probably be ready to publish next week. This started out conceptually as a short fuck piece, but couldn’t help myself. Been doing a lot of story telling and world building to frame this.

If you need a silliness top up...

Have this in my queue for later for the cute title alone!

Working on a fun piece that I should have done for Easter. About an uptight religious girl hooking up with a rather famous man during a drunken bender. Half adorable, half sacriligious, "Jesus Christ!" should be submitted before the end of the week.

Been a hectic week but managed to get a new chapter of my Free Use series written. The whole series has sort of been teetering on dark, and it takes a full plunge on this chapter when our narrator orders up a roleplay he wasn’t quite ready for.

it also comes with a bit of a dilemna, do I spend time to try and make a new cover for the series? I like the current one but have been considering adding more thematic pics for the chapters. The trouble is I’m generating them with AI and I’m not so good at making the same character over and over.

Here’s a link to the series for those who like a little neuro-spicy kink in their pornography.

Thank you!

Howdy,

I don’t want to bug a mod everytime I have a question about the story posting rules. Is there a central place with the rules spelled out? And do those include special rules about covers?

Femdom story about a sissified made is getting finished. Keep making a lot of tweeks on this one. Other than that, I’m finally through my ‘needs done soon’ writing.

I have a few friends I write personal stories for. I’m making another chapter on those. And I’m starting a big ass edit on my novel.

But my next lush project is unclear. I recently submitted a Free Use chapter after a year and I’m interested in another one of those.

Howdy, I submitted a story two weeks ago. I got a note that a change needed made before it could be published. I made the change right away and resubmitted it with the mod note about the changes. It’s been about a week since then and I haven’t heard back about it.

Does resubmitting after edits put it at the back of the queue?

Oh my gosh! Thank you! 😊

It’s such a fun piece to write for. Expect more hijinx from the crew of the Jitterbug soon!

Comp entry done. ✔️ My 12th story of my long running “Cash in Hand” series done making Book 1 complete. ✔️ The last story needed for my omnium badge done and with the moderators. ✔️ Time for a holiday. 😎

Congrats on the omnium! A goal for myself at some point to, once I stop being lazy and make myself a spreadsheet.

Slight change in order. Now that the third Steam Bunny chapter is submitted I thought I would work on my comp entry. Instead I rolled out the beginnings of the next ‘Free Use’ chapter, which I’ve had more than a few people pointing out is in desperate need of the next chapter.

I added a character on a whim in the first chapter to give the narrator someone to talk to to convey some exposition in a more natural way. And I’m so glad I did because she’s quickly taking over as one of the driving forces in the story and quickly climbing the ranks as one of my most fun characters to write for. She’s nosy, sexy, a punk, a bitch at times, and absolutely driving my imagination wild with her possibilities.

Well, whenever I go into a manic writing spree it means my real life has gone to shit! Haha! Writing is my coping skill.

And writing a lot doesn’t mean any of it is good. :)

Here’s a cover I’m proud of. I finished the story that goes with it today. It will be in Horror and is a very disturbing story. Yet somehow was a satisfying write. 😳😊 I kinda think you might like it, Rowan.

Horror is such my pet genre! First erotic writing I ever read was sex scenes in Clive Barker stories. Can’t wait to read it!

The Wicked Wind is in the queue. Working on finishing up this one next with plenty of fire in it.

Teaser lines:

Daniel had no idea he was fucking an angel.

The sky would split open before he’d learn. 

And yeah, a lightning bolt might strike me for this one. It’s a Sodom and Gomorrah story.

When you go for a comp series instead of an entry because you have too many ideas. 8D

Always nice to get that fit of inspiration. Gonna need to read all your elemental stories.

I appreciate this level of OCD.☝️

A year ago, I would say no. Now, I've made much deeper connections to some people than I would have thought. Yes.
