I have no motivation to do anything right now so I am going the weirdest thing in the world. I'm watching old infomercials on You Tube

I do have private messaging on...
Funny story:
My oldest daughter (20yo) moved out on Friday. So I spent all day Saturday and Sunday re-arranging the house. I now have a study/playroom for my younger daughter. But last night, my hubby commented...Wow, you haven't been on your porn all day. I told him actually not since Friday afternoon. He was shocked. I guess it was a not so subtle hint to take a break from the contest sometimes?
But I'm back today.
Literocat? Are you around? I know you had an issue with a story being too violent, and I was wondering where the line is. I think the story that I am writing is fine, because there is a gun, but it's never used other than being pointed at someone during a nonconsent scene...
yes, the readers will probably hate it, but.. just trying something new.

Well I can't move out since I'm the momma. I'll just have to try my best to get writing done while they are in school.
I don't get on the computer much when hubby is home. Unless he's on his, of course, lol.
My crowd go back to school after the summer break tomorrow.
I was hoping to celebrate with some writing, but hubby's just been put off work for the rest of the week - a beetle got into his ear last night and went burrowing. He now has a perforated eardrum.

Ouch!
Yes. Apparently that wasn't fun either.and ew! A beetle in your ear!? *shudder*
Did they get it out???
Yes. Apparently that wasn't fun either.
They don't call this the Survivor Contest for nothing. Wait until August. You'll feel the weight of pressure then.
My advice, since you asked, is to use the shorter stories as inspiration for longer works and vice versa. Use the shorter stories to experiment with your writing and to try new things by writing in categories that you wouldn't ordinary submit a story.
While working on longer pieces, I generally get ideas for shorter stories. I seldom work on one story at a time. Most often I have a dozen of unfinished stories that I revisit daily or weekly before submitting them.
The shorter stories should be a joy and not a chore to write. Have fun with them. They don't all have to have a sexual theme. Now is the easiest time when you have plenty of categories to fill.
My advice is not to think of the category. Just write the story and then pick the category later. You seem to be boxing yourself in by defining the story by the category. Just write. You'll know where to submit the story once you are finished.
You're off to a good start, thus far, but to win this contest, you'll need to average a story a day.
Good luck.

good to see you freddie, you old bugger.
Gees, every time I see you, you look the same. Shades of The Picture Dorian Gray (lol). Don't you ever age?
What's the weather like there?
It's cold and plenty icy here.
What does your mates think of our new President? I hope they perceive him better than who we had before.
off topic:
i've had this av since 1974... okay, feb last year was the photo.
yup. cold and icy here too. mebbe snow in the next week.
as for the pres? well, we have a few probs over here right now, so your pres isn't really a focal point. generally we hope he's a positive influence.
as for me, george, vicariously, sent me to iraq. as it goes the trip was a positive. i came back tanned and lookin' good. i also retained my limbs and suffered no PTSD - result!
i hope you stop in every now and again, freddie. i'd hate to lose touch.
Lucky you. I know some her weren't as lucky.
Yeah, well, I don't plan on being on the board all that much. I've been busy lately with some new business ventures.
Take care and have an ale on me.
