Wenzdee Crispin

I finished chapter two of corpus crispin tonight and submitted it. So it should be up soon. It was hard to write! I had so many ideas on where it should go. It's too much of a roller coaster to just put out a chapter quickly. I wrote about five pages and then went back and filled in details. I kind of like that way of writing. Just the facts and then go back and add dialogue and description. It's a new approach. 


What a week! My classes started so I already have tons of reading and work to do. But it's good because the bf let me cut back my hours of helping him with his work. He likes to keep me busy so I don't get bored and sad.


Hope everyone is having a great week. We had killer storms today in DFW, lots of floods and craziness. We stayed off the roads that flood and came home early and stayed in tonight. It's pretty bad out there. 

Crispin II

Home! We had an awesome weekend with just the two of us in San Antonio, even if he did do a little work while I took a nap. But it was nice. We were together and not worried about the daily crap. 


So I got a lot of great responses to Corpus Crispin. I'm not sure where I'll go with the story, but I got some good ideas on the road. Long drives (5 hours back to Dallas) are good for thinking. So I'm going to get back to work on a second chapter. 

Corpus Christi, the setting

I'm surprised it ended up in the Adult/Youth section. I think most of those readers typically look for much younger "youths" in the stories. I realized after I wrote the first chapter that I'd written Crispin to seem really young so I went back and put that he was 16. I know when I was 16, I'd been super sheltered and was just as naive and trusting as he is. 


As for Clayton's Acquisition. I also have some good ideas for that next chapter, but I want to hold off maybe a week before I work on it. I got a lot of feedback that Tare needs to grow a pair and fight back a little. The story has gotten stale, boring. That's not good. 

Waiting

I submitted a story two days ago and it's still not up. I guess Nifty got busy. I only see stories linked to series as being posted. So maybe since mine is a new story and they have to figure out where to put it, it takes more time. Oh well! 


But I don't like to start writing until the previous submission is posted. 


Today is Wednesday! Two more days until the weekend which is awesome because we're going on a little trip. We haven't left town in a long time. My bf is always busy with stuff but he cleared a weekend for just us. We're not going to see friends or even tell our friends down there that we'll be in town. 


We're just going to go quietly, enjoy ourselves and then he'll put the pics up when we get back. 


I don't have my own facebook, not really. I do have friends through my bf's facebook but we have one account together. He's kind of weird about online stuff. So it's a little awkward when a friend from high school emails me and asks why I'm not on. I'm not out to people I don't see anymore and I think they would be weirded out to find out that A) I'm gay and B) I share an account with my bf. 


Is that weird? We have a few friends who have shared accounts, but they're all straight or lesbians. 

Corpus Crispin

I submitted a new story. I'm not sure where it will end up (It's not super authoritarian... yet), but if you come across Corpus Crispin, give it a try and let me know what you think. I like it. It didn't feel forced to write. That's the worst when you put out two pages of writing and then read back over it and think, this is totally spinning my wheels, not good. 

I've started tons of stories, written five pages and then completely lost interest. If I'm bored, the readers will definitely be bored and what's the point of finishing it out. 

It's a picture perfect day and the bf is coming home soon so we can go run White Rock Lake. It's a pretty pricey area, but the bf wants to buy a house in the area. It's gentrifying quickly but we want to be closer in to the city. Ok well anyways, Hope everyone has the day off to do something awesome. 

Up soon

Chapter ten should be up soon of Clayton's Acquisition. I submitted it last night. It's a long chapter but it gives some backstory to Clay and hopefully some context to him. 


I'm a lazy writer. I write as I go and I Don't take good notes. I need to fix that with my next story. I keep having to go back to previous chapters to remember details. I'm sure Clay's appearance has evolved through the story. heh. 


Anyways! I hope everyone has a good long weekend. Classes start soon for me so I might get busier. I was working with the bf this week to help him out. He tries to make me feel like I'm not a total mooch by giving me some assignments of his but sometimes I screw them up and he pretends they're ok but I know he goes back and fixes them. 


So I'm sure he'll be happy that I'll be busier soon. 

I wonder what this is about... 

Chapter Ten

What a crazy week! I am working on chapter ten of Clayton's Acquisition. I'm trying to add some background to Clay. It's going well. 

I'm not sure how many more chapters of this I'm going to write, maybe three. I feel like I need a new story. What do you think? 

It's always crazy to me when some stories get to twenty or thirty chapters. Usually someone ends up in the hospital. That seems to be the standard 20 something'th chapter. :) hah. 

Any crazy special requests for these two that yall'd like to read about before I kill them off? Nah, I won't kill them off. But close it out.

I am really into this series right now. It's unpredictable and divergent from the standard authoritarian story line. Check it out!

Over the Horizon

I'm starting to get good ideas for the next chapter of Tare's story. I also had a good idea for a new story, but I'm going to work it out a little before attempting it. 


The new idea is kind of a boy in control type story. I've had this in my head for a few weeks of a small town star athlete deeply blue collar son of a company's maintenance guy. The new boss is a younger, nerdy, wealthy type who meets the boy while he's there helping out and falls in love. The boy's not much for the gay thing but gets into the guy's attention, gifts, submissive nature towards him. He also does it as a little payback for the way his dad is treated. 


Has that been done too much? I feel like it's been overdone from the point of the submissive older guy. It's also been done to the extreme like the guy ends up signing over everything and getting used round the clock by any trucker, friend or other high schooler who wants to use him. 


But maybe a relationship, controlling but with an underlying need from the kid to really feel completely accepted by the older guy. Like he doesn't have to end up being defined by how and where he was born. Like what has been predefined for me doesn't have to be all I am. Would that work? 

Tare's Chpt 8

I had a really hot time writing the next chapter of Clayton's Acquisition. Chapter 8 should be posted soon. It was a quick write but a long chapter with lots of good new experiences for Tare as he gets some attitude adjustment. 


I need some ideas for another character. I'm thinking maybe small town cocky athlete boy dominates an older, professional guy. I had a dream about that a while back. 


Anyways, back to the work world tomorrow and spring classes start soon so I need to get my schedule made and see what books I can sweet talk the boyfriend into buying me. He's getting lots of new contracts out lately so my allowance has gone up a little... still no car though.


I love this gay band out of boston. They do a really good cover of born this way. And if you look at the guy's videos he does a very hot shirtless acoustic version of Madonna music. I'm not into Madonna, but i kinda like the song he does. It's called Vogue like the magazine. I'm not sure what it means to "vogue" but if this shirtless guy is doing it, I'll watch.... 


Ok off to get the sheets out of the dryer and make the bed before the bf finishes up his video game. He loves sheets right out of the dryer. It makes him want to cuddle. He's a total heater at night when he's sleeping. It's one of my favorite things about him. It's getting cold again tonight. :-( Ltrz!
