I'm happy
I don't write for the prize money. I donated my winnings to the homeless shelter where I spend my time on Sundays passing out a hot meal to those who need it and there are more and more every year.
I write because I must. I write because it's fun.
When I started writing here, I didn't know about the contests. I was just happy to find a place to display what I write. Having Literotica to post my stories makes me write everyday.
I never said I was the best writer. I'm a terrible editor and a worse speller. Yet, I refuse to have someone edit my stories. That's too much like work, like accounting, and having an editor would ruin the fun for me.
I'm sure that if someone wants to publish my stories, as did Erotic Excursions, they'll edit them and they did for free.
I've always said that I love to write and that I found my passion. All of this other stuff, this board, the bashing, and you are just a diversion. I used to be a boxer. I can take a punch. So, knock yourself out swinging. You can't hurt me. Sticks and stones...
I'm happy. I'm writing. I have a good life, a great house, a girlfriend I love, a wife I love, and a mistress I love. I love my children and I love my dog. I love my cars. I don't want for anything. Life has been good to me. Now, this writing is a bonus. I've been blessed.
Then, as another bonus, someone sent me a check for $5,000 last year with a note that read "You should have won the Survivor Contest." It was at the time that I was writing all my Paparazzi celebrity stories. The Fedex envelope came overnight from Colorado.
Let me tell you...you never know who reads this stuff.
"Oprah! I'd love to go on your show."
I have no idea who sent me the money but I was greatful. Do you know how much food $5,000 buys? You have no idea? It buys tons of food. I donated that money, too. I don't need the money.
Then, there are the two E-books. Yeah, I'll never get rich with an E-book, but I don't write for the money. I write because I must and because it makes me happy. I love writing my little stories.
I hate playing games on these boards. I'm honest and upfront. I don't play games unless when I'm playing board or card games.
Then, Nancy Armstrong bought the rights to one of my stories for her book coming out next year, The Big Bad Ass Book of Sex.
I'm happy for you that you are a freelance writer. I don't want to do that. Freelance writing would ruin my creative writing. I like it better how I write whatever I want and whenever I want. I'm free. I'm not tied to a paycheck forced to write for someone. I do that with my accounting. I don't want to hate writing and I would hate to write if I had to write for money. The money will come for what I want to write, hopefully, one day.
I have stories all over the world. People steal them. They are in every language. I don't care. Let them take them. Let them have them. Some give me credit and others take the credit for themselves. Yet, if I find they've made money from my stories, I can sue them. I own the rights to them and I can prove it.
Still, it's not about that. That's all petty stuff. That's all negative shit and bad Karma. It's about the story with me.
There are better writers on this board, without doubt, but there are few writers who can match my imagination and creativity. I've grown as a writer since a year ago. I'm a better writer today and will be even better next year.
It doesn't bother me that Emap read one of my stories and didn't like it. I don't write for Emap. I write for me.
Now, the Survivor Contest is fun and I won't allow you or anyone to ruin my fun.
I like your AV by the way.
