God, I cannot believe it's already AUGUST.
This past week not much got done. I was out sick last week for a couple days, so had to make up the lost time at work...so ended up having 5 12-hour days...so by the time the weekend came, I didn't want to do much of anything.
Yesterday went through more Extenuating Circumstances 0101...I'm about 75% through it...damn, I write some long stories, LMAO! Takes a while when you're going over every single work, sentence, and paragraph to find any mistakes, clean up some stuff, and what have you.
Then I had a system failure and it took the rest of the day to get back to where I was. My NAS started acting up and it ended up being a bad cable, but it took HOURS to figure out what the heck was going on because the symptoms were intermittent...which made troubleshooting it even more grueling. So didn't get much of anything done from about noon to midnight...and by then, was too tired to do anything.
Still no decision on posting EC0101 on Literotica or holding out to make it a published work. You all weren't much help, LMAO...just kidding, sort of. The problem I know is many of you want to see SOMETHING, actually ANYTHING published by me at this point...it HAS been a while...so the prospect of an already-finished piece is like a carrot dangling in front of you. So you want me to post a piece, or at least finish my current "shiney" so I can work on the next piece.
Anjali made a comment in my last post about my graphics not being of sufficient quality to make them interested in purchasing them. It was a fair statement, as all I've shown in most of my graphics here have been rough drafts and nothing' I've really taken the time to do..but it still gnaws at me ;) For those interested, I again mention if you want to see my alter ego's work, PM/e-mail me and I'll point you to my Facebook page. I think my work there will speak as to the quality of my images. But even if you don't, I've decided to spend some time and make the first image to EC0101 and post it here...that way you can see the quality and style I'll be shooting for at least for that story...so it will hopefully be coming in the next week or so.
Still working on Lifeguard Gets Wet...I just needed a change after focusing upon it for so long so blew off the dust on EC0101...but will be getting back to Lifeguard probably today. I already KNOW what I'm going to be writing about, so I'm hoping the rough draft will be done in soon enough and I can send it to the artist for a review...make edits, and hoping to finish...by then I'll hopefully know what I'm doing with EC0101, LOL.

Introducing Suzanne Carter (née Simmons)
One of my goals has always been to publish ILLUSTRATED versions of my stories. I've always posted the FREE text versions online, so feeling that pulling them and beginning to charge for them was an injustice to those newly discovering the stories on Literotica, I thought changing them enough such that they were illustrated would draw in both old fans and new.
It has been suggested my newest story, Extenuating Circumstances which involve Suzanne, Jen' (aka Diamond from Lapdancing Girlfriend) I publish straight out and skip posing on Literotica.
So I'm torn... Waiting to publish Extenuating Circumstances means a delay in posting anything. I am still working on finishing up my Lifeguard Gets Wet story...as that will be illustrated by an artist who has requested it as a commission...but not sure what to do from there.
Lapdancing Girlfriend 06 is somewhere between 75-90% completed (honestly don't remember where I left off as my attention has been on Lifeguard)...so it would be the next one to follow being posted on Literotica if I hold off.
But curious what you all think.
Writing is a hobby, as such, I devote limited time to it. If I start getting paid for published works, that would give more incentive into putting more time into it as I would have it as additional income. But I know it's been a year now since I published anything and people are getting antsy.
Curious to hear what you think!
In the meanwhile, I've been working on prototypes for Suzanne and her illustrations which I want to do with EC. Starting new and fresh with a story not yet published means I can tilt the story to help out the illustrations and vice versa. If I go back and illustrate one of my existing stories, some things will need to be changed (outfits, colors, and the like) in case I cannot find something similar to illustrate.
But here is the first reveal of Suzanne Carter (née Simmons)...so let me know what you think! To pull the description from the story:

Looking for any reason to distract her thoughts, Suzanne looked at her reflection in the mirror behind the bar. What she saw was not the normal, care-free, and somewhat straight-laced twenty-four-year-old she was used to seeing, a woman happily married and living in a nice gated suburban neighborhood. The woman looking back at her from the mirror was a complete stranger, the opposite of everything she had been. The woman in the mirror across the bar was dressed for sex, her long wavy ‘bronde’ hair cascading over her shoulders and resting upon the unconcealed swell of flesh at her chest, her breasts bulging and practically hanging out of her immodest cocktail dress.
The satin black dress hugged her body like a second skin, leaving little to the imagination. The deep neckline unashamedly exposed more of her natural 35C fleshy mounds than she was comfortable with—but once again she had little choice in the matter. The dress was held gingerly to her body by two thin straps, and without them, the dress would have left her half-naked, the back of the dress completely opened down to the soft swell and ‘Y’ of her ass.

Update 07/27/2015...Imminent new release?
What if I told you there was a new release coming soon?
No, it isn't Lifeguard Gets Wet
No, it isn't Lapdancing Girlfriend
No, it isn't Annie
That probably answers the top three questions, LOL...but let me explain.
I've been working on Lifeguard Gets Wet exclusively over the last 2 months. This weekend I was staring at the same page for over 3 hours trying to get into it and it just wasn't happening. I wanted to write, but as I stared at the pages of the new content I was writing, I couldn't write.
It wasn't necessarily a case of writer's block, just that I've been working on the same story nonstop for so long. Typically when I write, I'll focus on one particular story, but every so often I'll dabble into something else, and I've been trying to get Lifeguard done for the storyboard I put everything to the side...much to my detriment. I am approximately 65% done with Lifeguard. It's been going slowly, but I am now at a point where I know exactly what I'm going to write...so the next 35% is not going to be as long...but I've hit sort of a plateau in terms of momentum.
Then I decided to do a little housecleaning on my hard drive. OMG I had a lot of shit. Mostly programs that I never used any longer, games I haven't played in over a year, that sort of thing. Then I hit my Story folder.
As I was sorting through it, I realized I had THREE finished pieces waiting for my "final" review. The first chapter of Extenuating Circumstances is a three parter...and all three parts have been complete for MONTHS. I simply put them aside to work on Lifeguard and never got back to them.
So I opened EC0101 and started reading...and reading...and editing. I am about 75% of the way done and I will have the first release hopefully uploaded to Literotica this coming weekend. I know it's not a continuation of any of my other stories, and it's not even the one I've been working on since April. But at least it's a story release.
The good news? That was EXACTLY what I needed to get back into the mood for Lifeguard...and I wrote about 15 pages yesterday afternoon of new content for it after taking a break from EC...so my muse is back...she just needed a little variety to get her juices flowing.
Won't have much time until the weekend again, but I'm going to finish up the first part of Extenuating Circumstances, get it posted, then it's back to Lifeguard...with little breaks here and there for EC0102 and EC0103 ;)
So good news I guess...it's been so long since I've had a release, I'm hoping people don't mind it's a new story from me and not one of my continuations....

Update 07/13/2015
It's been a while but haven't really had much to report. This past weekend was one of the more productive weekends where I was able to complete my re-do of my Lifeguard story. The last half that I had written (about 60% through with the story) had never sat well, and as I mentioned previously, did a re-write of it. I still had several pages to go through, and finally finished where I can start to write something NEW. I had thought I had reached that point last weekend, but as I started to look through the last couple pages, things just didn't flow well enough so finished that up this weekend.
Summer has always been a slow period in terms of writing...both due to work picking up (end of the fiscal year for us) as well as family visiting. Although my son has moved in, it still feels like he's just up for the summer, so we're still adopting to that...things will feel weird again in the next month or two when it finally sinks in to both of us he's here for good, LOL.
Lately with work, my son up, and everything else that happens during the summer, my writing time is limited to only a few hours each Saturday and Sunday...so it's just normal for things to slow down. Hopefully my urge to keep writing will continue and I hope to get my Lifeguard story done "soon" and start working on Lapdancing 06...then Annie. Have lots of ideas, just no time to put them to "paper" so it's simply waiting for things to slow down and have some time...

Update 06/22/2015
Have not updated in a while, although not really a lot to update on...
I've gotten through my re-write of Lifeguard Gets Wet and am finally moving into "new" territory. I really want to get it finished so the artist who commissioned the story can get moving forward with the rest of the storyboard, but this weekend sick kid and all I didn't get much done.
Have worked a bit on my graphics here and there but the past few weekends have been mostly chilling out, writing here and there, and whatnot.
My goal is to hopefully get Lifeguard done and then work on Lapdancing 06...then finally Annie. There are a couple stories I've worked on here and there that are new and have mentioned previously, and those are the "something different" writings when I get stuck in a rut on one of the main focused stories...
Other than that, enjoyed Father's Day and relaxed...and slowly getting into a routine with somebody else living in the house!

Update 06/03/2015
My apologies for writing the same updates week after week, but things have been busy on my side of things...
I've been working on Lifeguard Gets Wet whenever I have time to write. Currently I've rewritten about 30% of the entire story...nothing major which would change the storyboard that is being commissioned, but I now think the story "flows" a bit better. I'm more comfortable writing "reluctant but willing" stories, and this one didn't seem to have the right "feel" to it...so changed it to lead into the later part of the story much better.
Graphics-wise I haven't done anything in 2 weeks. I need to finish up the commissioned piece I've been working on...and have felt guilty doing anything else but that...but traveling out of state and whatnot have affected that.
Son is all moved into the house. He's monopolizing the "have until the end of summer to get a job" edict by playing games nonstop on the computer...until the wee hours of the morning. Then he gets up around noon and starts all over again, besides eating me out of house and home. Odd having somebody here, but he's always been up for the summers, so when it's the fall will be the true test, hehehe.
Other than that, been working, a few days sick, and trying to deal with a new "room mate" and two new cats...so free time has been somewhat lacking. But I HAVE been writing, just not what everybody is interested in, hehehe...
Hoping to get Lifeguard Gets Wet done soon...want to finish up on Lapdancing Girlfriend next, so need to get this first chapter of Lifeguard done first!
