Weekend update!

So spent most of Saturday working on my Assumptions story...because I knew I wouldn't be doing anything creative Sunday with The Elder Scrolls Online Early Access beginning.  Got through quite a bit...and although I previously did not think there would be many "sex" scenes, there are definitely more than I planned, LOL!  But such is my twisted mind  ;)   The difference between this story and my others (even Annie) is they are being told from the husband's point of view about other women, so it's a bit different.  The story is more about his thoughts and developing perversions instead of focusing upon a female protagonist.

Sunday spent 12 hours straight playing TESO, hehehe...as well as most of Monday after work.  Hopefully the "newness" will die down enough to get back into a writing/playing/creative routine that I was in before my unexpected unemployment...so now it's too much to do and little time to squeeze it in!

Work is work!

I had forgotten how much work work is, LOL...  For the past 6 months I woke up, had my coffee/tea, sat down at the computer, checked e-mails and job sites, and then wrote or worked on my 3D graphics.  Mornings were my "me" time and even on weekends that is my routine...it's just being unemployed I had more "me" time than anything else.

Now I get up (1-2 hours earlier!), shower, make my coffee/tea, sit down and catch up on e-mails...and drive off to work.  I get home and catch up on some more work, check e-mails, and then it's time to decompress in front of the tv while eating dinner, watch more tv, then go to bed...rinse and repeat x 5.

Weekends now are catching up on things that slid during the week like cleaning the house and whatnot.  Mornings are still my "me" time but now there's a lot more for "me" to catch up on, LOL.

Had forgotten how little time I had for writing or graphics...and hope I get into a routine to get back to that.  I worked on Assumptions and Lapdancing Girlfriend 06 this weekend, but felt like I made no progress compared to the past.  And didn't even have a desire to open up Daz Studio and work on any graphic projects  :/

I do enjoy the PM's, emails, comments, and posts here, so keep them coming...they are what stir me on even more when I get into one of those "blah" periods...so appreciate everybody's support when I was out of a job and hopefully now that I have one, LOL!  Even if it means less time for the "fun" stuff...

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work I go!

So the good news is I'm back to work...which is good because I was almost to the point where I was destitute.  Now I can continue to pay off the house and car and buy those little things like food, hehehe.

Of course, that also means less time for playing around with 3D Graphics, writing, and generally relaxing!  But after six months, I completely understand the "at least you have a job" sentiment and will not be taking that for granted ever again!

Monday the DC area got dumped on by over a foot of snow, so had the day off, which was nice.  I did a little computer housecleaning and such, as well as worked on my Assumptions story.

It is odd to be constrained during the week working again.  My typical writing hours were early morning, and getting up between 4-5am doesn't give me any time for dalliance before I'm off to work.  That means weekends are once again my only play time...which is bad for all my creativity because it bottles up during the week.  Then again, that's also good because it means weekends once more will be "marathon" sessions where I'll be working on stories and graphics the entire day...so good with the bad.

We'll see how things go with writing on only weekends again.  Before I would write a few hours each morning...now, take this morning for example, I have a great idea for my Assumptions story but cannot do anything about it until after work...but by then I'll be too tired to do much when I come home.  So it will sit and "fester" in  my head to complete perversion until the weekend where I can let it all out, hehehe.  Not sure the best way of things, but again, I no longer am taking work and a paycheck for granted!

Updates...

So a full week without any comments...not sure if that means people are not visiting or I've discouraged people or what...but still hoping to keep at least weekly updates in case SOMEBODY is checking on status or stories and whatnot...

New job started this week, so things have been pretty quiet.  Getting up at 4am so I can tackle early DC traffic is not fun, but a 45 minute drive is better than 2 hours if I get caught in rush hour!  But that also means by the time I get home I am dead tired and not much in the mood to write.  Back to the weekend thing in terms of writing and everything else, as my prime writing time is early morning  :/  Such is the bad thing about working again, hehehe...but I'm sure once I get my first paycheck I'll not be too upset, LOL!

Have not done anything in terms of 3D graphics.  Mostly because have been too tired getting home as I mentioned above, but also my graphical Muse has been relatively quiet.

Worked a little on my Assumptions story, so hoping to get some of that done this weekend...even though there's an Elder Scrolls Online beta going on this weekend, hehehe.  Games are always a good release for some pent up frustration and when I have writer's block, so hoping to get some play time in as well as writing.

Other than that, things are relatively quiet.  Hope to get my Assumptions story draft completed by the end of this month so I can start back on Lapdancing and Annie, but it all depends on how the weekends and such go...

So got a good laugh today...

Sometimes a negative comment can drag you down, but this one literally had me laughing.  Yet another "Anonymous" comment:
 Don't lose your day job Maybe Rolling Stone can use your encyclopedic knowledge of pop music. You are totaly devoid of any talent as a writer. My suggestion is to get an editor and start with page1, make 5 attempts, destroy everything take 6 months to read all stories rated 4,0 or better. You will accomplish 2 things: a sense of what is erotic and you'll be an accomplished wanker.
 Now the funny thing is this wasn't made on one of what I consider my "lesser" stories such as Grim Fairy Tales or Dreams stories...no, this was actually on Lapdancing Girlfriend (Chapter 03).

What's funny is he says to take 6 months and read all stories rated 4.0 or better...well, that means all of MY stories as well, as my lowest ranked story is a 4.10...obviously not a fan of mine, hehehe.

Anyways...on to better things...

Started work today.  Was odd coming back to the same place after being gone for six months, even though I'm on a different project, I'm in the same government building, so it was still odd...familiar, yet different if that makes sense.

Assumptions story is coming along nicely.  I worked quite a bit on it this past weekend and it's getting close to the end.  I would say I'm about 75% completed with it...but then comes the review.  After that, Lapdancing Girlfriend will get hit hard, and following that, I plan on appeasing the long overdue Annie fans.

3D Graphics-wise I haven't been into it this past week or so.  I sit down and open up the program, and my mind draws a blank...even when I have several images I want to make and have outlined, I still cannot seem to start...so hopefully my Muse will awaken on that side of the bed soon.

This coming weekend is the last The Elder Scrolls Online beta, so I'll be immersing myself into that...so know I won't get much done graphics or writing wise, but then there's two weeks before its release that I hope to get some things done and under the belt!

Slowly progressing...

Although I had my Muse back and was working on my Assumptions story, I wasn't at 100%.  I spent a lot of time with my third passion, gaming.  With The Elder Scrolls Online coming out, I spent a lot of time researching the game and whatnot.  The past weekend was a closed beta weekend so played with that most of the weekend.

I worked a bit on writing, but again, it wasn't anything to brag about...so hopefully this week will pick up.

Was starting my new job today and with the weather being as it was, all government offices as well as work are closed, hehehe...so my first paid day is spent at home!  Go figure.

With work starting I won't be writing as much, as unfortunately, the best times I can write are morning...so that leaves the weekends.  Then again, working during the week I hopefully won't get into these funky moods as often as I now appreciate the fact of being employed, LOL.  We'll just have to see how it goes...
