Happy and Impressed with Myself
a month ago
General
After I got "Good Morning's Surprise" up I was feeling really positive and happy with myself. So, I spent much of the evening last night and a good part of today working on another story that I have been toying with for over six months. It really hadnt gone anywhere before but I finally finished and did quite a bit of editing to make "Between the Stacks" the story I had envisioned.
It still has a lot of work, to be honest, but most of that will be in fleshing out the world and figuring out where I want to go with these characters. I always meant for this to be a jumping point for something going on at the university. Itll be something along the lines of x-files, dresden files, or maybe just something purely supernatural. But with a good dose of adult play sprinkled everywhere.
However, this also showed me what it takes for me to really get these stories written. I spent 5 days getting GMS up to where I wanted it and a good portion of that work was done yesterday morning with a final sprint in the evening. BTS was about 2/3 of the way done but I managed to get the rest of that language layed out last night then today was a whole lot of editing and rewrites.
Between the two stories I have 12,389 words (5,810 and 6,579 respectively) and probably did a good 6-8K of that yesterday and today. Especially with the editing and rewrites.
All of that is to say that I know this is not a pace I could keep up. So I will likely be trying to keep to something shorter, maybe 2-3K stories in a week; but I also realize that my stories may not be done if I dont have at least 5K words which is about 10 pages. And a lot of my effort will be on the weekends. I will try to write during the week but sadly life and work have to come first (for now).
Finally, I also want to say thank you everyone that has read GMS. As of this writing I have 72 views and 3 favorites for that story and I'm simply over the moon happy with that kind of progress.
Hopefully you will all continue to enjoy my writing and the stories that are yet to come.
Be well everyone and see you soon.

P.S. - My stories are not perfect. So if you see something odd, or i mess up a scene (e.g. in BTS I had to go back and remove her blouse when i got to the end); please let me know either in the comments or perhaps on my discord if you'd like to chat about the stories. Either way, thanks again everyone.
