Week ahead

It is fast approaching Tuesday (and my father's birthday on this side of the world – Happy Birthday Dad!) and, oop, there it goes, midnight and I'm still up. Was at work today, er, yesterday, unusually, to take notes for a meeting – vaguely disappointed that a certain eye-catching lecturer who usually makes these meetings more »

Yes, actually six sentences, and on Sunday too.

More from 'Water and Dust'. Continued from here Marc looked back at Brendan, whose eyes were still on the sky. "What?" Brendan indicated back onto their land with his head. "This way." As the dogs settled back to their post, Marc followed Brendan into the trees, he said, "We should be getting back." Without turning, more »

Quiet time (but some sentences of 'Water and Dust' too)

Been a full on week, and mostly dancing related; Tuesday teaching kicked off again, as did the Wednesday night class I go to, followed by a meeting on Thursday and a very late night dem-ing and helping run a ceilidh at a local barracks on Friday. So today have done little that is productive. Met more »

Six, ok, seven more sentences of 'Water and Dust'

No update yesterday due to SOPA blackout, so today, before I settle in for a night of writing (eep…), some more sentences of 'Water and Dust'. Continued from here More barking, until Marc, his voice cranky and harsh, barked himself. "Quiet!" The dogs whined, but reluctantly obeyed, and the barking gradually ceased, giving way to more »

Six, ur, nine (um) sentences: Water and Dust

So now this has a title AND plot that it didn't have before yesterday. It was meant to be a vignette! My brain sometimes, I despair of it (though do enjoy the little surprises it decides to fling up my way too.) Continued from here A rustle through the grass, and Marc's body stiffened. Brendan's more »

New year, new beginnings, old plans

Ah wow, it's been too long since I blogged here, and now's the time to rectify that. Well, I hope. I always tell myself each new year 'I must blog more, I must blog more'. I've made a couple of decisions about my online interaction that should hopefully make that easier. I think I've been more »

Six new sentences for the new year

Going to do a new lot of six sentences daily – I enjoyed doing it before. This time is a piece I have already begun, but I can't quite figure out what to do with it, so I figure this may be the place to explore a little – with such a short limit of more »

Short Story: Exhibition

Word count: 1400 Content: Non-graphic erotica Setting: Contemporary Notes: Probably more a scene than a short story. Figured since I had not posted the sentences for a few days now it was time to finish the piece off at least. Thanks to those who've been reading! Comments/feedback always appreciated. – He's up so close to more »

A time for endings

In the past two weeks I've received to bits of news in the erotic publishing world that's made me quite sad. First, the publisher on Erotica Apocrypha, Freaky Fountain Press, has announced it's closing, though the store will remain open for a couple of years until the rights of their four, soon to be five, more »

Exhibition: Double six sentences

Once more, a double hit for the day I missed. – Continued for here Now she leans forward, and she looks at the black lacquer box beneath. She sees the leaves and the stem of the roses, almost a neon green against the dark lid. The roses themselves are that beautiful blushing pink – the more »
