Oh a lot less then when I was younger but I suspect it's partly psychological and partly just not having g the energy.

I've done it being impaled on 2 strappies and being one of the ones wearing a strappie.
It can be a lot of fun but it needs the right people and you have to be in the right mood.
You really do have to passionately want to throw your dignity out the window and be entirely in the grip of pure primal lust.
Then its one of the most intense, arousing and satisfying experiences possible.
You have to go full throttle or its just so awkward for everyone concerned.

What I'd start with is that there is no one type of man that every woman wants.
Focus on what you HAVE not on what you DON'T.
You have something that not everyone else does.
I'm much more interested in a man who engages my interest and makes me feel better being around them then apa
So don't fret about how rich you are, or how buff you are.
The women who want that already know where to get that.
Go to where you feel most like yourself and see what women naturally go there.
I met my wife in a coffee shop having a conversation about opera.
Our first date was to see the Opera Carmen.
So don't run around trying to be someone you think others want you to be.
Be who you are, go where you feel your most relaxed and confident.
The people you meet there have more in common with you then people you'd try to be what they want.
Also don't treat your youth as a bad thing, some women love having a younger lover and are more then happy to teach them to be amazing lovers.
So chin up and don't be someone else, be you. There's only one of those in the world.

Good morning my lovelies, today I@m hoping to get the creative juices flowing as I dive back into the waters of Hazel Point Creek and tell the wicked story of 2 foolish teens.
Big well done to everyone who has submitted an entry to the competition, or got some work published here.
I'm refusing to read anything by others until I'm finished my work, I run the risk of either getting distracted from where I wanted to go or half convincing myself not to continue and finish the story.
Remember you're all beautiful people, you're all worthy of being loved and of loving another, and if store room 3 hasn't exploded by now a generous measure of Apple brandy.
Strictly for medicinal purposes, like it's a Tuesday or you're feeling thirsty.

Had to ditch my first attempt as I just couldn't find a way to add Fool into it without making it clunky.
So version 2 is being assembled, 2k words down and I've got the frame sketched in, now to add the sauce.
There are times I wish I had the Roget's online thesaurus with me, but Prof Google helps in a pinch.
Be extra kind to each other and Goddess willing we're all going to produce work we're at least partially proud of.
ONWARD!!!!

Good morning all, I hear this weekend is a bank holiday one so I'm slightly frantic trying to get the tale done before the weekend rolls around and makes it impossible to meet the bar.
Be kind and be patient my lovely Lushies, there's going to be a lot of cranky people about when the final count down kicks in.
As for me, don't bother brewing the damn beans just throw them in chocolate and give me a bag of them. I'm trying to run the engines at full power so Goddess help me if I start drooling, foaming at the mouth or speaking in tongues.

Good morning my lovelies, the Goddess smiles on Her humble servant today. The muse has been made to behave and the words flow as easily as sand between the fingers.
Congrats Miss Soleil, on your exam. I know they can be a pain to sit through but we all knew you'd come through with flying colours.
Have a properly wonderful weekend and celebrate your achievement.
Carl my dear friend, so lovely to see your smiling face around here again. Thank you for letting us see No Name, and his delightful blue harness.
I must say a convertible like that suits you nicely. Is that perhaps a Mercedes Benz? The leather trim reminds me of my fathers current ride.
James my dear, you've done wonders to keep the place together while I was away. I see the muse has been extremely kind to you lately you're producing pure gold from your pencil these days. Keep it up.
Elyse, I must be shamefully behind in squishy hugs these days so have a few more to make up for it.
Bill our dear and ever patient Host. I'm beyond thrilled to hear you're entering this competition, to show us punks how a real expert does it.
May the muse be ever kind and the Goddess smile on your efforts. Be well and be safe most precious one. After all what is Rumps, without the Legendary Rump himself to show us just what a iconic fellow he is. This humble bartender is always inspired to continue to fight the blank page when I know you're in the next trench battling away too.
Alala! Alala! My fellow scribes, let's stomp that prose under our pencils and show it who is the boss here.
Curvy it's one of the great pleasures in life to see you where you truly belong, among us wretched souls adding a touch of class and elegance to our world. May you always be there to show us how a Lady can enhance the lives of those who get to see her natural Grace.

Oh Goddess give me Patience, I clear 3 hours in my schedule to write and not a single bloody word appears.
Sometimes I could eat the fucking pencil.
Bitch of a muse is just out of reach, not so out of reach I can give up.
Oh no. Just an inch away from my outstretched fingertips, but just that critical inch.
I can almost see the words appear and when I try to write them. Nothing.
When I stop trying it floats again.
Tantric fucking writing.
I'm off to suck my thumb and sulk for a while.
I'm just fed up.

Today's word is : Frustration.
Chatterbox Blonde- Rumps Mystical Bartender
Hello you lovely people, this week has not entirely gone to plan but I am 580 words further along then I was at the start of the week.
Not my most productive but I'm confident I can get something bashed out in time for the comp.
A huge well done to all who got on the grid, I'm still getting putting the car parts together.
The big bass speakers go inside the shell not outside right?
Chatterbox Blonde- Rumps Mystical Bartender
Hello my darlings, I've been a little busy this week. There are times I swear I'm the Oracle of Delphi, some of the things I've had thrown at me to sort out.
Fortunately I have a particularly knack for pulling rabbits out of hats and remembering dust old tricks for keeping the machines running.
The muse has been kind and been whispering a juicy little story line to me, so I'm hoping to have something to submit for this months comp.
I hope you're all being kind to each other, and giving Elyse lots of big squishy hugs.
I might forget my manners and start turning people into frogs if they start being mean.
Chatterbox Blonde- Rumps Mystical Bartender
Well my dears, I hope you're all feeling a little more yourselves today.
I know life can knock us on our ass sometimes, but there is always another day. There is always Luna to remind us that Hope endures even when we don't feel we can grasp it.
I've had my wrestles with my own darker aspects and for now I'm in a happier place, I'm refusing to listen to that nasty voice that wants to put me down and I'm taking more active control of my life.
So a short little wish for you all. May the Goddess shine Her Light on you all, wrap you in Her arms when you feel too fragile to face the world, fill your heart with Love when you doubt your purpose in this world and remind you always that Life moves in cycles just like nature. That in good times and bad there is beauty in this world and it's far too precious to give up appreciating the many gifts we have in our lives.
Be well, be safe, always be yourselves.
Chatterbox Blonde- Rumps Mystical Bartender
Haven't seen you in simply ages DD. May the Goddess bless you and the lovely Gracie, keep you both safe and keep that bed of yours just the right temperature for lots of fun.
Blows a kiss to you both.

Good morning my lovely Lushies, I've been a very busy girl this week getting things sorted at work and upgrading my home office. I've the bones of a story for the comp being sketched out, so hopefully next week I'm going to get some serious wordage down on paper.
Because I've been away so long I Will pick up the tab for todays drinks, remember if you get too greedy there is a chance you might get cursed for it so play nice.
Elyse my dear, I try to leave news on my profile when I'm going away so people don't fret so. I'm not the kind of girl to just vanish my dear, keep your head and keep smiling.
If the world seems scary, just wrap your red towel around your shoulders, grip your broom and give a little war cry. You're always in my thoughts, and prayers my dear. Don't let the world ever stop you being your lovely self.
Bill my dear, you have wonderful taste in books if you're recommending Mister Pratchett, they only get better the further along he goes. I think he has a clearer idea of what he wants the world to be like and takes us with us. If there's any justice he's in Lancre, without the embuggerance having a cocktail and listening to Nanny Ogg sing some of her finest songs.
May your tankard never be empty, your voice never be cracked, and your audience appreciate your singing talents.
Honestly the mess about this place.
Dryad, get this place cleaned up, anything with a pulse can stay where it is, the bar glasses get washed, the empties and the rubble get sent to the Glade. Clarice needs feeding again and if she doesn't get enough minerals she gets very grumpy.
Oh the trials of a modern Witch trying to keep a Glade enchanted and her elemental attendants properly cared for. Goddess give me Patience not to whack them with my crop.
I brought a plate of Portuguese custard tarts and apple doughnuts, do keep 2 for DD and Gracie. I'd hate for Gracie to have to face the world without a proper pastry to keep her going.
She did say she was late yesterday, I do hope that's more late for being here or possibly work and not a more personal issue for a lady.
Blowing lots of kisses, sending big squishy hugs and encouraging cheers for those of you working on the competition this month.
Be well, be safe, and be happy my darlings.
With that, time to get back to the Glade for a bit. Toodles.

Struts into the bar, blowing kisses as she gets to the bar.
Empties Big Bertha, keeping the sludge for Carl and the caffeine junkies. Refills with some Hawaiian roast beans, and lots of mountain fresh water.
Places a soft kiss on BB, and polishes her nozzle for being a good...coffee maker.
Cleans out the big kettle and refills it, setting it to boil.
Switches the sign from The Witch is OUT to IN.
Wiggles fingers and summons a dryad to get the washing up done, while a second whirls round the room driving all the rubbish into a pile, before feeding it to an earth elemental.
Good heavens what a week. I've been buried in work, and I have to keep an eye out for my home office kit that's being delivered.
The joys of being a contractor I'm allowed to get a proper set of equipment instead of squinting at my aging kit.
My new wireless headset makes being on tedious calls a lot less of a bore, I can mute myself and work out while I'm there.
I just hope they don't ask me a question and wonder why I'm breathless.
Laffs.
My dryad tells me there's been lots of submissions for the writing comp this month, if you're sitting on the fence wondering if you should give it a try please enter.
You can tell yourself you aren't going to win, but I find just getting my comp badge gives me a real sense of achievement and when I start to doubt I can actually write they do prove that I sometimes can hit the target.
So get your pencils out, sharpen them up and put some words on paper. Nobody expects you to be Hemingway, but if you don't enter you don't know what you're capable of.
Big squishy hugs for Elyse and everyone who needs them.
I'm woefully behind on what's been going on in Rumps so do let me know if there's something I need to get the dryad to tell me about.

Popping by to say hi folks. Big squishy hugs to all who want them.

I'm taking it one day at a time at the moment.
Some days I feel I can do anything like when I smashed up my shed, a real Thor moment swinging that hammer around.
Some days I have to force myself to do simple things like eat because otherwise I forget to do it.
Most of the ones I called my friend outsude here haven't really been in contact much, perhaps the ties that bind are looser then I thought. Though more likely they're busy as all heck and I'm just down the running order a bit. It does make me feel like the last remnant of a forgotten age.
My muse is still silent, far beyond the stars where I can't feel her and all I can do is wait for her return.
My relationship with my wife is like an accordion sometimes so close and others far apart. That damned instrument moves almost by it's own will and I never know where along its journey it is until something comes up to show me.
Still I have my Faith to give me strength to stand, Luna's silvery light to give me Hope that perhaps tomorrow will be better.
Be kind to yourselves and each other, we are far more fragile then we would want to be.
Be gentle and soon this will pass, the world will return to a new normality and we will rush to embrace the change.
Be well and be safe my dears.
I'm off to sit in my garden, listen to the bees buzz, soak up the morning sun and rekindle some light in this weary heart.
