Hey, all. Been a bit since I've been in. Crazy busy. I hope everyone is well.
Grace, we've not met either, I like the way you look at things, and your sense of humor. Hump day is just the middle of the week, getting over the hump of the work week. I imagine the term is so popular because of all the other things it implies.
Thaks for the shout out on Safe Word, Hannah. Sadly I will not be entering the contest. I may be spending some more time at the Blue site than I usually do, writing flash horror (I have a couple on there already, and more shortly). I will definately keep a toe in the waters of erotica, though.
Drinks are on me, everyone. And by me, I mean Virgogo, who is no longer here, but who is dearly missed. Wrote the best piece of flash erotica I've ever seen here.

My son's new job is delivering pipes and pieces drill welding company to other engineer s. His seasonal job is at the hotel of horror. He has a persona that he created when he was about 13. It started at a local hayride raising money for the fire department. Our scene was a freakshow and he was part dog part boy. His name is rabies. Each year he made it more and more iconic.
The evolution of Rabies
One of last year's advertisements for the hotel.
Thank you for thinking I'm a cool mom. My boys think so but my littley is just gonna think I'm old.
This is so deeply cool, Tanya. Congrats on raising such creative kids!

Your son's new job is at a haunted hotel? Or he just likes them and is going to one?
I stayed in a haunted hotel once and it was so much fun. I explored it very late at night and was hoping to see or hear something spooky. I even took pictures in the spots where the alleged ghosts were supposed to be extra rowdy, hoping to catch an orb or something.
But alas, no haunting was found. I don't know what your writing process looks like, but sometimes I'll outline a bit or write pieces out of order. For me, this often helps me get going again if I'm stuck.
Anyway, I don't mind your rambles and think you seem like a cool mom, Tonya.
Coffee me please.
Tonya indeed seems like a cool Mom.
Our family stayed at The Stanley Hotel (it inspired The Shining) a few years back. VERY cool motel, even without the haunting part. We went ghost hunting at midnight. Saw no ghosts, but it was genuinely unsettling and scary.

Thank you, Unquenchable Curvy, for the köffee. I have had a buncg already, but since I too am rather unquenchable, I shall have another cuppa.
It's have to find (the Audiance channel), but the TV series based on Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes is SO. FUCKING. GOOD. Saw episode 4 last night.
New horror shard nearly ready. Halloween nears! And I am in the right frame of mind for it. In 13 days we start the all-month horror movie marathon!
EDIT: The horror flash (I need to quit calling them Shards!) is up. I'ts not quite a flash, at 1200 words, but it's close.

Frank Lee's flash is indeed a gem.
Had a gem of a weekend with the missus (no, we are not officially married, but in our heads we are). Great theater, great dinner, great trip to Denver the next day. Thank you for a perfect weekend, LJ.
I'll have a sparking soda. If you don't stock that, gimme a glass of tap water and a straw and I will blow bubbles into it.
Hope everyone's weekend was as mine was.

I'm willing to try it. Care to buy me a drink so we can test that theory?
Hi everyone. This is my first time in this bar. looking around Hmmm Can I have a lemon drop martini, please?
Since no one here has yet offered, I'd be overjoyed to buy the lovely Ms. Doll a lemon drop martini. I'll take a bourbon, rocks.
How are ya, Doll?

So someone who shall remain anonymous (hi Julie!) asked me what stories should be read before reading the final two stories in the narrative. Which brings up the whole question of what order the stories should be read in.
My original idea (which is wholly undoable) was that, if you sell the stories as a book, every time it's bought the order of the stories are randomized, so that everyone gets a different narrative (I am sure there is a way to do this, but I don't know how). Multiple part stories, of which there are a few, would have their parts scattered throughout, rarely in the correct order, and with several unrelated stories separating them. The attempt is to mimic memory, so that the episodes have no fixed order, and no neat and tidy plot. Only brief unrelated flashes of sensation and emotion, with connections between episodes never fully known.
Since I can't do that, I am now trying to assemble what seemingly random order they work best in, and rewriting them as I do.
Anyway. Here are the stories, since they are no longer on my sig line. 11 stories are gone from the site, as I am trying to sell them (7 sold so far). And I will write 7 more, so that there are 52 stories in all, one a week for a year. If I can ever get my shit together, this is how I will release them.

And speaking of wishes, what are the chances of employing a couple of sultry Irish barmaids? Okay, they don't need to be Irish, but well built and with loose morals would be nice. Anything to relieve the tedium of your (I did NOT say ugly) mug' day after day, Mr Foreskin.
I could handle some sultry Irish barmaids. I love an accent.
Ping, so sorry to hear of the cruelty to your friend's dog. Some acts are unforgivable. That would be among them.
And Lyf, so sorry to hear of your toastlessness. That's mighty crumby on sprite's part. Wanna a poptart?
Me and LJ are off to the theater tonight! Some tiny little theater company here is doing a play called Kimberly Akimbo. They might suck, they might rock. It's an adventure either way. Followed by drinks at our favorite bar!
My usual köffee please.

Finished (and loved) Portnoy's Complaint. Funny, angry, insightful, if occasionally dated - it WAS published in the 60s.
Now reading more Megan Abbott. One of my favorite currently writing authors. I guess you could call the genre "suburban noir." Crime and mystery set in suburban America, usually with tween/teen girls involved, and with really fascinating insighs into the scary world girls of that age are encountering. This, and her others--Dare Me, The End of Everything, Thee Fever--are just excellent.

Jellyfish shots for everyone!
That is SO. DEEPLY. COOL. My fave part was pouring the liquer over the spoon to sort of disperse it, I guess. It looked very ritualistic and magical.
I'll have one. Or, if it's easier--and I am sure it is--just my usual köffee.
Bill, my Dad just got Woodward's book in the mail via Amazon. I have dibs when he's done.

Rain delay on the double header the Mets were supposed to play, and supper is in the oven, so I'll have a quick beer.
Drinks for Reese, Dark, and Grace, if any of them are still around. Newbs! Welcome to my favorite dive.
I think the toaster is named sprite. Something to do with going down easily (don't hit me, sprite, it's Lyf's joke).
Bill, you will be SO happy to see my sig line is now a tenth or so if what it used to be. I figured I'd make one last stab at getting some reads on the second half of Safe Word, so weeding out all the other stories on the sig line might be a start.
Okay, off to write scary shit. Hope the denizens of the bar are doing well.

Quote by Ping
I almost always start on my iPhone6. Sometimes, I'll even write entire stories on it.
For example, Blueberries, my most recent competition entry, was written entirely on my phone.
https://www.lushstories.com/stories/college-sex/blueberries.aspx
I usually e-mail it to myself, edit and proof it on my computer, and then submit accordingly.
However, when I'm on vacation, or away from my computer for an extended time, I write, select
a photo, edit, proof, and post all completely from my phone. One story like that that immediately
comes to mind is linked below.
https://www.lushstories.com/stories/group-sex/beach-time-means-sex.aspx
When I write, I usually get ideas and document them on my phone. If the idea is so strong, and it
motivates me to write, I recline or lay down, and just start writing on my phone.
However, if the story is a collection of ideas that I've been adding over a period of time, I'll then sit
at the computer and amalgamate my thoughts into something. The current series, How Far Do We Go?
is a prime example of that. I've been collecting ideas for a few years.
https://www.lushstories.com/stories/cuckold/how-far-do-we-go-ch-1.aspx
You write stories on your phone!? It takes me ten minutes to compose a text on my phone!
On my laptop always. Usually at my desk, but I have written in bed, in the tub, waiting to pick up the kids from school, the waiting room at the doctors....
I should also clarify my previous post here: I try to write 300 words a day when I am actively working on a story. I can go through weeks of slothfulness between projects though.

As you know, we have been requesting a competition there for a couple years. I don't think my lone voice is enough of a request. Nor have those of others. I understand where you are coming from, but all requests have been stalled. Couldn't mods, like and including yourself, express the interest on behalf of those that want to reinstate the competitions? You know what we want. You want it too.Here's some motivation. Bouncing boobies.
I'd do this. Full stories are too hard (heh), but a micro or flash comp gets everyone excited, and I am sure it would result in more Red-to-Blue site traffic.
Plus it would be fun!!!

Thanks everyone who read the horror Shard. I don't really know where I'm going with these. They are headed somewhere, and if I keep writing the little scenes the destination will (hopefullly) reveal itself. It's like pointalism - just adding one dot of color at a time.
It's fun to be at the beginning of a project, where everything is possibility and you haven't painted (written?) yourself iinto any literary corners.
Gill, I hope you and your family stay safe.
Ping, thanks for the, um, homage.
Liz, you seem to be a woman of fine tastes, but I am not sure I want something thick and viscous sticking to my teeth like cement. Even if it is alcoholic.
Mojitos at Rumps? I'm surprised when the glasses are clean. Good luck.
Köffee, as always.

Can't seem to wake up this morning.
I started a series of flash horror, in the vein of the Shards (guess I'm a one trick pony). I won't post many, but I did put my first up over at the blue site (hasn't been verified, and it might not be). Of course, like when I began the Shards, the reaction might well be confusion and annoyance. Understandable.
I would dearly love a cup of köffee.

Husband?!? That's put the frighteners on me! Glad that a conversation about salted butter was inspirational!
And thank you, everyone, for being so generous about me doing a bit of modding. You are all so kind.
Funny how when that self-proclaimed "nice, Canadian boy" (not you, Ping or Scott, the one in the Fedora and dark glasses) is in big trouble he talks about himself in the 3rd person. Don't know if that will rescue him though...
Right, it's beer time and I'm buying. What can I get you all?
CurvyG, you are truly one of the essential cogs that keeps this place running! You've helped me a lot wirth problematic stories, and have always been so kind and supportive of everyone's writing here.
Ping, you magnificent bastard, I LOVED The Night Stalker!!! The TV movie that inspired the series is still the best of the lot.
Saw The Nun last night with my youngest. I really like the The Conjuring franchise, but I think they have officially drained that well dry. Not scary, ineptly made, and knda goofy.

Coffee Please !
Doing the family thing this morning
Hope everyone has a great day !
Thanks for reading a bunch of my Shard stories Sara. I appreciate the reads! Your next drink is on me (and by me I mean Scott) (and by Scott I mean Beffer).
Hey, the throne sure tastes clean this evening! Like licking a freshly bathed neck. What happened here over the weekend?
Bill, sorry I missed your nomination for sprite's Awesome award. When I stumble in here in the morning, I haven't had my dose of Bertha's magic brew yet, and so my ability to read and comprehend is a little impaired.
It's kinda hard to find (the Audience Channel), but if you can catch Mr. Mercedes on TV it's really good. Adapted from the Stephen King novels, and Dennis Lehane (he wrote Mystic River, great writer) is writing many of the scripts. It's a little padded, like they are trying to stretch it out, but it is REALLY creepy. Particularly season 2.
Three fingers of Bulleit please.
