What are we all writing right now?

[anthrodisiac]

I swear I didn't intend for this to be a metaphor for AI when I started writing... Pantser life.

As he climbed into bed, the sheets still warm, static clinging to him as he cocooned himself, he couldn’t help but smile. Imagine not knowing how to summon demons, living your life as a boring a-magical pleb — having to do your own laundry or compose emails yourself. Half the people at work used demons to do their boring, menial tasks nowadays. The rest used them for sexual gratification. Except for Danya, who would tell everyone in a twenty-mile radius that demons had rights, that they could feel things, that they were slaves. Or Savio, who said everyone was becoming complacent and sloppy because of it.

Nothing as of right now, my V-Day story is in a mental block and since I will be switching to WFH soon, when I’m not at what will be my former office or at the gym after work, I am trying to get my new desktop set up for WFH.

working on a classic romance story. Does the MFC stay with her rich BF or does she goes for the underachiever who makes her heart beat faster and her panties wet? Will she choose love or comfort?

I spent last night going back and adding the missing scenes to a WiP that's been mostly just waiting for those bits. I had no problems writing the older sex scenes as I went, but there were two college ones earlier in the story that I just put "Insert sex here" and skipped over originally. I think the new scenes are pretty good, but the first one might be too good. I mean the sex, not the writing, as it's their first time together. It's not either of their actual first times, so I think it works.

After that, I wrote the loss scene where one of the characters died. It still needs work, but it brought tears to my eyes, so I hope it's not total garbage. It's not the first death mentioned in one of my stories, but the impact is a big part of the story, so it's a lot more intense than what I've previously written.

In hindsight, I probably should have written the death bit first, then wrote the sex scenes to cheer me back up. Going to bed right after focusing on death was a bad idea…

UPDATE: So, I thought I'd do a quick reread to make sure I didn't break canon, and to do any necessary smoothing between old and new sections before returning to the WiP I needed a short break from.

Wow, I had forgotten how old the first part of that story was. The last part wasn't nearly as old, but it wasn't very recent either. Don't get me wrong, I still think the story itself is good. Those three distinct styles were just an interesting study in how my writing has changed over time.

So, I'm in the middle of a full rewrite rather than going back to my other story.

Nothing yet! But the idea cogs are churning. Pressed submit on my first story yesterday so it’s still in pending. I do want my next story to be in a different direction to my first though.

I am dipping my toes into the water for an incest story, the protagonists are twins, but am taking a slightly different route with it.

I’m also working on a novel which is going to be the conclusion for a character of mine, Frances Daugherty. She was the main character in two other series I have written.

Then of course, the obvious upcoming April Fools’ Day contest, and then the other authors challenges.

I’m thrilled that I’m retired and have plenty of time to do some good writing.

A concern I have right now is that I have too many irons in the fire and that I probably need to focus a bit more to get more incomplete drafts completed. The nearest to completion is likely the one I'm going to work on next, a mind control genre story titled "Perfectly Natural." That'll be my first novelette; it's already at 9,800 words, it's not close to done yet, so it'll be over 10k words easily.

However my mind drifts into thinking what the next stories will be in my Paige+Toni series or in my Toxic series. For Toxic, I've already started writing one new story, one of those occasions where a couple of scenes just hit me and I had to write them down immediately; however, it's not an erotic story and in fact not even a complete story so I have to see where that takes me. For Paige+Toni, no firm ideas, but I've been thinking about the course of their relationship and I keep coming up with the answer as bittersweet. I can envision a finale (or epilogue) story for them that would be non-erotic.

Then there's the dozen (or more) other incomplete story drafts that I have in some stage of completion. Some of them go back years (if not decades). I really should get back to and complete "Black," which would be my first horror story; I wrote over 5,500 words of that last year so I should try to get it over the finish line.

I'm writing the next chapter of my ongoing serial, which I've gotten back into the flow of and added 10k words between yesterday and today. Feels good to have time to write after the holidays and a busy work month. I also need to start developing my April Fools story, which exists in mental concept stage, but my time is running out to get it fleshed out if I want enough time to write it and release it on day one.
