Ai images are good (especially if you prefer cartoon style images) but they tend to lack the human element if that makes sense.

I used AI for a while but its sometimes as much work getting the prompt right so it gives you exactly what you want as it is to search some stock libraries for a good match. That said, I had some good results. This was the AI generated cover for my Christmas story from a year ago. Story was about a young woman whose Christmas shopping was more about indulging her penchant for exhibitionism than actually buying gifts.

And the story:

My stories tends to be story focused so an image that relates to the story gets preference. If I can get an image that fits the theme and plot, I don't fuss much about how sexy it is but sexy is certainly a goal on here. See the pic above. Captures the story and character well and it's pretty danged hot, too.

NHIE been a resident of a country other than where I was born.

Nope. If I sack out with someone, I will know how I got there and who it is.

HYE picked up a potential partner while grocery shopping?

Private office

Fool around with a co-worker at work or take it somewhere else?

I do like meat with my spaghetti but meatballs are optional. A good meat sauce does just as well.

Downhill skiing or cross-country skiing?

Me, sadly. Though I have improved (largely due to the positive influence of my spouse).

Do you aspire to anything greater or are you happy as you are?

15 minutes is probably my max but maybe more if I actually have a lot of time and go slow.

Are you attracted to partners more like you in personality or ones who are quite different from you?

Depends on mood and what music I am up for. My few playlists are focused on some fairly specific artists and genres so anything outside that, I use playlists by others.

Play or movie?

Nope. And I would probably not tell beyond admitting it happened if I did.

HYE found out that someone you knew as a child or youth became famous?

Did someone say "butter tarts"? 😍 Two and a hot, strong Darjeeling tea. So I am now officially sick of winter more than a week before the Winter Solstice. I have shoveled twice more in the past 24 hours (plus a neighbour blew out a plow drift at the end of the drive while I was at work yesterday) and drove to work in whiteout conditions this morning. I just hope this winter is front-loaded and things will improve later.

Probably 2-3 years from retirement and I like my employer so no changes planned before retirement.

Play an instrument or listen to someone else play it?

Sheep, I now have a couple stories with comp potential going. One is probably more straightforward porn, one has some story to it. SO now I might have to choose one for the comp and hold the other for later. Yeesh. Brain, what are you doing to me? It's deluge or drought

I mostly wear hiking shoes from brands like Keen. I don't run and they support my crappy weak ankles better than anything else.

Do you become sexually aroused easily or does it take some effort?

Differently. My whole erotic history needs a redo, really

Pro sports or college sports?

Very. With a few exceptions, I am always game to try something new.

What do you wear to sleep in (if anything)?

A few in a few different ways. The classic escargot with garlic butter, of course, but also red-cooked snails, a Chinese dish that I have had while visiting my in-laws in Shanghai.

HYE traveled abroad and found it hard to find food you liked?

And nice face pic of your furry friend.

Good afternoon. Weather continues wintery here. Had snow around lunchtime.

No Advent story yet. Might end up taking a pass at the rate things are going but we shall see. To be honest, my writing is in some disarray right now. Too much else is going on.

I woke to the sweet face of my cat this morning in my face. 😊 Instead of the rear end like yesterday. 🙄

Sounds like Butters needs some positive reinforcement when she does it right.😸

NHIE been with more than one sexual partner at a time.

Probably history if push came to shove (I was doing lots of museum crawling on my recent trip to Greece) but I enjoy a good art museum, too.

White bread or whole wheat/multigrain?

Quote by smiley69

LOL, we go from one blizzard to the next one, all winter long up here in the great White North.

Figures it would be another Canadian who answers. 🤣

HYE been caught driving in a sandstorm ?

Nope, never experienced a sandstorm.

HYE unknowingly eaten something spicy (well, unknowingly until you bit into it, at least)?

Good afternoon, though it's getting rather dark and feels more like evening. Wife's new computer is set up (I'm typing on it right now), cleaning is done, exercise happened. I guess I'm basically done for the day. Coffee cake and a glass of Chardonnay.

The latter. Not benefit in teleporting if you eventually forget where you went. Frankly, I'm not much for either, though. The cost-benefit on both is kind of shitty.

Is owning a house worth the cost and effort (maintenance, cleaning, etc.)?

Well, there's a side of me that says the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one or the few, as Spock once put it, but the loved one is the one who would likely get saved. In the end, I value family and friendship.

For regular, personal use: Laptop or desktop PC?

Dang, I just knew Kimmi was tempting fate with that one.

I have no idea what to do with this. Advent is a religious thing in my corner of reality but this place lends itself more to the secular, fun side of the holiday. Two ideas floating around in my head. Unfortunately, I kind of lost this weekend. Given the demise of Windows 10, we decided to replace my wife's desktop since it was technically too old to upgrade. The new box came this past week so I spent this weekend setting it up. Which, damn it, is my day job (well, was before I started hiring other people to do this kind of work). I am typing this message on the new computer so, yeah, that's done. Back to writing now, I hope.

Had a crash driving a company vehicle once on a previous job. No serious injuries.

HYE been caught travelling in a major snowstorm?

And apparently it is not doing that, or at least not consistently. Hope the dev gang can figure it out.

As far as I can tell, all my PMs back to 2022, which is close to when I spun up this profile, are there so I don't think the 2 months retention works or has ever worked.

Looking at my Advent story and once again wondering how the hell I'm going to stick the landing in 1500 words. 527 already used and it's all setup. I kind of know where to go but getting some sex into it is going to prove challenging. I might have to shift some posts around, start it later in the story arc.

So, do those polar bear cupcakes have shredded coconut for the "fur" because if so, I'm scarfing at least, two. And a Red Rose to go with them, of course.

Meditating on my comp entry. I have a story arc I like but it needs to be sexier. Or come up with a different one and save this one for post-comp or even on SS.
