Gravelly-Voiced Fucker

Performing tonight and Saturday evening in a staged reading. First time I will be wearing a tuxedo, either on or off stage.
A cuppa java is strong enough for me.
Cheers.
Break a leg, Larry. Enjoy the tux.
Sprite, the only way I hire someone to ACTUALLY COME TO OUR HOUSE to put on youngest's make-up is if you are paying. Pony up, Kitty Girl.
Shameless promo time. Link to the new book is on the sig line below. This is a first Shard I ever wrote. I go on at some length how the idea first came to me/us as I lay in bed with LJ, over at the Shardoverse: https://forum.lushstories.com/yaf_postst54177p3_The-Shardoverse.aspx
Another cuppa, please.

So this is the very first Shard I ever wrote. I remember laying (lying?) with Layla in some hotel bed (this was early in the relationship), telling her how cool it would be to write a series of flash stories that had no storyline, but just tried to capture fleeting, plotless, sexually charged sensations. Sort of like a memory, or a fragment of a dream. In that way these stories try to mimic memory; memories are never linear, they are like flashbulbs going off, a burst of neurons lighting up in your head.
She thought it was cool. We came up with the title Shards that night. We, um, celebrated. I wrote this when I got home, remembering her, missing her.
I even remember the comments on this story, with a couple people going WTF?, taking issue if this was even a story or not, because there was no structure, all it tried to capture was a sexually explosive moment in real time.
Okay. I've rambled on for a bit. Here's the story.
Serious Moonlight 6: Enraptured
It's only 3 paragraphs long. That's 33 cents a paragraph. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that part.
Tell you what, you buy it, I'll send you 33 cents. A free paragraph!
EDIT: I didn't put the link in right before. Gotta work on those marketing skills. :). Anyway, it works now.

Thanks for setting up, Carl! No muffins but am busy defrosting apple cake and brownies for you. Will that do? I'll give the mugs a rinse out too, while I'm at it. Might even dry them...
Apple cake. Serious yum. You are a barroom Goddess, Curves.
Woke up early, couldn't get back to sleep. Gonna be a coffee-centric morning.
Date night, I think, will consist of my bringing LJ orange juice and tissues. I am, of course, happy to take care of her. Lord knows she's taken care of me.
And as for the cost of the prom. My daughter wants to hire someone to come to our house and put on her make-up professionally after her prom dress is on, so dressing won't mess up her make-up. Huh? What? Is this even a thing? Please tell me it's not.
The answer, regardless, is no.
Köffee please.

just made my day. seriously.
Come over anytime you like. :) Though this place is starting to get a little crowded. ;)
Sweet detail to make you go "Awww": she and youngest are going prom dress shopping together this weekend. I will read quietly in the corner and supply the credit card at the cash register.

Tonya, PLEASE take it easy and let someone else do the heavy lifting for a few weeks. Get better.
Not much to report here. Layla is sick, garden variety cold. Youngest daughter is hopelessly in love. And I actually like the kid. He's smart and funny and kind.
Carl, thanks for the Bertha set-up. It's about time men got involved in the morning coffee ritual (not me though, I was banned for adding a little dirt to the grounds).
A LARGE cuppa coffee please.

I'd be happy to distract you. lol
I am writing today. I figured I could actually finish a flash piece. 1000 words doesn't seem like very many right now!
I'll have tea, please. no sugar or cream.
Distract away. Tea for the lady, coffee for me. Maybe we can slip out to the patio for a quick morning toke.

Tonya, thanks so much for the first day of Spring set-up of coffee. Baseball season is just around the corner (I actually think there was a game in Tokyo last night, but that hardly counts). I'd love a mug.
Hey, Cyn. Still riding high on thst comp win? You should be.
Nice to see you Angela. Can I get you a cup?
Things are pretty quiet. About to jump into work if I can find no further distractions here. Anyone wanna distract me?

I will take one Royal Fuck, please, Fuzzy.j4DutjxrhXiGeiCV
Also, the music you provided was quite groovy. Thank you twice.
Hope everyone's having a good night.
Stopping by for a quick snort of Jameson's.
Alex, the 2-nights-in-jail-in-New-Orleans story is too long to tell, but here is a harrowing detail: a cop slammed my head into a bus when I asked for his badge number (I honestly didn't know why I was being arrested). Still have the scar. Wear it proudly.
Happy half birthday Hannah, happy unbirthday sprite. It's my anti-birthday (in an alternative universe made entirely out of anti-matter).
I'll take that snort now. Goodnight all.

As much as I'd like to say I already knew this, I just looked it up after I saw the question.

Quote by Warlock
I am Warlock. I am also known as Larry to my friends. I am not known as Larry the Warlock. Glad we cleared that up.
I assure you Verbal, you don't know me at all and haven't got the slightest clue about what my feelings are one way or the other. I'm content you have an opinion about it, but don't be so presumptuous as to assume you speak in fact. As well, I believe you meant frickin Pulitzer Prize and not frickin Academy Awards.
So we are clear, I merely selected an extreme example based on what the badges reflected. The author is a very good writer and deserving of RR's without question. Your defense of the author is unnecessary and self-serving.
There are many great writers here on Lush and they will be read whether they get an RR or not. I would suggest we leave it at that.
My apologies if I offended you, Warlock. You did state earlier you were talking about process only, so I will take you at your word. It was your pointing out a specific writer's stats that made me take the bait and bother to respond. No need to single people out if you are talking process only.
At any rate, I agree, we can leave it at that.

Quote by Warlock
I was trying to keep it humorous. Actually, mathematically probably a true statement given the totality of membership. However, the odds do change when you take only those members who have received RR's and apply the ratio. There is a member here who has posted 49 stories, 40 of which were given RR's and EC's. Tic-Tac anyone?
And it's pretty easy to figure out who that 40 for 49 writer is, and she is worthy of each and every RR/EC. More, probably.
Yes, Larry the Warlock, you are hiding behind a scrim of humor and civility, but some bitterness and envy is clearly visible at the edges. An RR means someone who reads stories thought the story worth noting. It's not the frikkin Academy Awards. It's like a Post-It note - here, read this, I thought it was good.

i'll have something strong and keep them coming, please.
And we promise not to piss you off. Well, within reason, I tend to have that effect on people, so no promises.
After the sturm-und-drang (see, that theater major paid off! I can use weird German phrases in conversation!) of yesterday, today looks to be chill and calm and easy. Yay!
About to finish two stories, The Story That Cannot Yet Be Named, and The New Shard Even Though I Don't Call Them Shards Anymore. After that I begin on The Horror Story I Really Want to Sell.
Fuzz, that's for letting us gdrain your Jameson's (not a euphemism) and yeah, I agree, women with cigars can be hot.
Hey, Trace, nice to meet you, don't think I've said hi. So hi!
Glad you are feeling better Sara. We always get the same weather, hope you don't have a storm blowing in today like we do.
Thanks for the set-up, Tonya. Stay off that leg!
Coffee please.
