I love Linda Ronstadt, I think Blue Bayou is my favorite song.

I'll take something frozen and fruity to remind me of my trip.

My family is behaving a bit better now. Not sure how long it will last.

While it lasts I am enjoying a peaceful evening.

Cheers Everyone!

That's my favorite Rondstadt song too. I had such a crush on her in the day.

My parents saw her in concert once. Before it started, a cute barefoot hippie girl approached their table and asked to bum a smoke. My parents said sure, gave her one. She left, and a few minutes later took the stage - it was Linda Rondstadt!

Have I told this story here before? I think so.

Congrats on the new story Grace! I will get to it soon.

Köffee please.

The longest word you can spell on the top row of keys on a typewriter is "typewriter."

Yes. I don't know her but her profile comment is open and civil and kind and polite. I value those qualities in a person.

Get Out.

Love this movie! Finally watched it for the second time.

I've seen it twice too! Love that flick.

Fyre, a documentary about a failed music festival. On Netflix. Really good. Like wathching a car wreck in slow motion.

Cruise to Alaska with Layla. And we are planning on doing it when (if...) the pace of life ever slows down here.

Do you prefer visual or written erotica?

22 Jan 2019

I am tired but pretty content.

My wife and I lost our best friend last night. Puppy Doggy (miniature poodle) adopted us seventeen years ago. Now she is memories of the good times we had. Teaching me how to fetch her treats.

Sorry to hear that, Adagio. Such a sadness to lose a beloved pet. Memory is a powerful healer.

About to start Tuesday afternoon/evening shift for me at the hospital, so make mine a juice. Something cold as the Sydney mercury is well into the 30's and the humidity is something else. When I get home of course a midnight chilled cider or beer will no doubt hit the spot.

And Verbal, I liked the story on the other site a lot. Have a good day everyone.

Annie

Hey, thanks for the props, Annie. I was trying to write erotica, and wrote a few measly little paragraphs in a three week period. I decided to switch it up to horror, and I had a new flash in a couple days. I will return to erotica (for one because I have to write 5 more stories to finish up Serious Moonlight), but right now horror is more in my wheelhouse.

And Bill, you will be happy to know Layla proofed this one, so it got sent in error-free. I plan to work harder on proofing stories befoore I submit this year.

Thanks for setting things up, Curves. Köffee, as always, please.

22 Jan 2019

Hope everyone is winding down the three day weekend nicely, if you had one. Ours was chill and fun. No clouds for the eclipse, which rocked!

I have a new horror flash over on the lapis lazuli site. Pupa and Chrysalis.

Back again.. survived Blue Monday.. so I'll have a shot of Curvy's Beaver's Breath Brandy in my coffee to celebrate

Bill, it is nice having new blood here. Heya, Suzie. Glad you survived Blue Monday!

Writing day, as Layla embroiders and listens to podcasts. Just submitted a horror story to the site whose color is that of the toilet bowl water when you put those little deoderizer things in there. Layla proofed it, so it should be flawless (like her).

My fiirst new story of 2019!

Anyway. Sorry about the escalation of family drama, Gill. Been there.

Thanks for getting thing up (heh) and running, Cyn. Köffee please.

20 Jan 2019

Great book, a lot of it based on actual events. Haven't seen the series yet, but I will when I finish.

Quote by sprite
i just make shit up that sounds plausible and hope nobody notices...

Actually I think there is something to that - if you state details with confidence and plausability, it sounds like you've done the research, the details themselves don't matter (my series of Shards on uploading video to a porn site had made-up details or details I culled from uploading onto Youtube) (really!!!).

Maybe that explains the upswing in fake news.

Quote by Green_Man
Let's all have a drink to toast the birthday of an icon, a wonder, a legend. Today, January 19th, Janis Joplin, the Pearl, was born in Port Arthur, Texas.

Happy birthday Larry! Have a good one. My theory of birthdays is that you don't need to make a big deal out of them, but you should get to do only things you enjoy that day.

I lived in Port Arthur for a summer (I have relatives there) while in my college years. I can understand why she left. When my sister left home, she left a copy of Janis's Pearl behind, which I played over and over.

Lazy Saturday. We are going to Costco to eat free samples soon.

Two mimosas please, one for me and one for the ever-lovely Layla.

I'm grateful it's Friday but I miss Jamaica and the warm sunny weather. The only disappointing part of my trip was they did not have any cocktail umbrellas for me to bring home.

Not sure if we are going to get some snow or freezing rain. Most likely all rain. I've had enough of that. My entire yard is now mud.

At least when the temperature is below freezing the mud freezes.

I'll take a Jen's Jolter. I have some family issues to address later today and I'll need to be alert. I'll need a stronger drink later.

I hope everyone stays warm and dry and enjoys the long weekend here in the states.

Cheers Everyone!

"Family issues to address" does not sound fun. Be strong Gill, and glad to see you around here again.

I'm not wading into the debate because I never use Lush on my phone, but I think a mobile site that doesn't have the same content as the desktop site is pretty useless. And like Bill said, the site is primarily about writers and readers, and comments/votes/posted stories need to be the same across the brand, no matter what device you are accessing the site from. The look and feel of the site are nice. But it doesn't deliver the same experience as the desktop site.

So, yesterday, in the midst of my writing slump, I switched from erotica to horror and 350 words flew out of me. So I think I'm back to the horror flash stories again.

Beer me.

Seems cool (and likes bluegrass!)

Quote by CuriousAnnie

And I thought you were joking about tentacle sex in order to boost the spirits of us first time competition writers. And then I searched for the story and OMG I was impressed. Who would have though monster porn could be so inspirational.

Annie

Don't believe we've met, Annie. Thanks for the kind comment on the tentacle story! I am happy you searched it out. Thst was REALLY fun to write, and I had thought about it for months before I wrote it, so the words came out pretty quickly (as oposed to now, where no words are coming out quickly).

Sounds like everyone is having bad weather today. Cold, rainy and windy here, though thankfully the rain won't turn to freezing rain, which always scares me.

No plans for the weekend, other than running errands, which is always kinda fun if it's unhurried.

Tonya, thanks for geting things up and running. I'll have a cup o' joe.

18 Jan 2019

Yeah, I've done that. I wanted to learn how squid tentacles worked for my story Beyond and a couple strange little stories about the Isle of Thorns. I ended up reading two different books about squid and cuttlefish and octopusses (the plural is not octopi, as it turns out).

17 Jan 2019

TRUE!

TPBM has fun plans for the weekend.

Quote by seeker4
One of the greatest poets of my life time just left us. Mary Oliver has died at 83. Verbal posted her classic Wild Geese over in Rumplations. The little snippet below from another Oliver work will be my sig for the next while.

To live in this world you must be able to do three things:
To love what is mortal,
To hold it against your bones knowing
Your own life depends on it;
And when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Great quote.

Good article about why she was ignored by critics: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/11/27/what-mary-olivers-critics-dont-understand

As for the OPs question, I don't read a lot of poetry, but I am occasionally powerfully moved by it (like with Mary Oliver's stuff, also Billy Collins, Neruda, Levis, Larkin). I think the reason I don't read a lot of it is because I don't know how to write poetry, but I know how to write prose, so that what I gravitate toward.

Whose butt would I need to kiss to get a Recommended Read designation for my story....I want more people to read it and I dont have a large enough following to get the kind of readership that many of you have.

You got 49 votes! That's a really big readership! I took first place in a contest and didn't get that many votes. Of course, tentacle sex isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea. smile

Keep writing. The readers will come. Heh.

We lost a great poet today. Mary Oliver. I'll just leave this here.

Wild Geese
by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

I must have been a helluva cranky mood yesterday. I'm on the mobile now and liking it.

Really? Do the forums and story responses connect from mobile to desktop? Cuz that seemd like a deal breaker to me. I also had issues getting past the "looking for" screen, where it asked what kind of partner I was interestd in meeting. But I spent very little time with it, because I never use Lush on my phone anyway. I willl give it another shot.

Bill, I like Rump's Mobile Honky-Tonk & (S)lush Pile.

Not much to report here. Not writing at all. Hopefully that will change. Everything is pretty set up for the Serious Moonlight launch.

Disappointed by yet anoother big budget CGI-fest movie: Solo, A Star Wars Story. I thought Hans had zero charisma, and the plot was paint-by-numbers and written and directed by committee. I did like Donald Glover in it, a lot. Wooody Harrelson was reliably good too. I gotta find a good movie to watch - it has been a long series of bad to mediocre ones.

Okay, köffee me please.

Yes, another one would be nice. (insert hug here)

The definition of 'spruiked' (on Oxford Dictionaries)

So I, of course, had to immediately Google "spruiked" as well. smile

The Fyre festival, the rock festival that ended up a disaster for those attending. There's a documentary about it on Nexflix.

Quote by prettywild

Adam Ant...I was very young, but even then I loved a rebel

That is SO funny - Layla and I were just talking about him this weekend, and even played his big hit Goody Two Shoes on Youtube (goofy but still fun, and it was stuck in our heads all night), as well as discussing if his name was a take-off on the cartoon superhero, and if the superhero was named Adam Ant or Atom Ant, and in general getting into a bizarrely long discussion of the minutia of Adam Ant's career (we then stated in on Billy Idol).

My crush was Blondie. Duh.

Happy birthday Curvy the Unquenchable! And Buz too! Drinks are on me (damn, now I have to change my shirt).

The mobile site looks cool but I only looked at it for a few minutes. I never use Lush on my phone. It does seem that having two different sets of Forums (which I think is what will happen, if I understand Nic's message correctly) seems a little problematic. But I read the email early in the morning, so some salient details might have slipped past me.

Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!

Köffêè please.

16 Jan 2019

Happy birthday to one of my favorite people on this site, both as a friend, as a fellow barfly at Rump's, and as the best beta reader on Lush! You have improved so many of my stories, and your support is invaluable. Have an excellent day!

A typewriter cake!
