Another forgotten post

Yet again, I was thinking about things to write about here as I went to sleep, but now I can't remember any of them, so you'll just have to make do with me talking about what comes into my head in the hope it recreates some of them.

Managed about 1200 words yesterday to take the total for the work-in-progress over 30,000 (30,425 to be exact). Still really enjoying the story and the characters, and feeling that there's lots more to be told about them after this story. Indeed, that's making me that I might actually be writing two different books in parallel at the moment, which will make the editing of them interesting. However, that's not something to worry about until this version of the story is finished, then I get to work on bashing into a more reasonable and less meandering state or states. One thing I have decided is that I need to completely rewrite their initial meeting - their first encounter in this draft is a little too quick and convenient for the bond they form later, and so I need to stretch it so they have more contact with each other before the incident that kicks the story off properly.

That all makes sense to me, I promise, even if it's really vague to anyone else.

Blimey, that's just reminded me of one of my going-to-sleep thoughts on how to describe this story: "Bridget Jones falls in love with a lesbian vampire", though that makes it sound somewhat different to the way it is, and there's no one writing a diary with 'pints of blood drunk' as a daily category. Not that there'd be anything wrong with a story like that, it's just not this one!

Still, I shall continue to use the LVH - Lesbian Vampire Highlander - tag for it here, as there are elements of that in it too. Though without the decapitations or the Prize at the end and Freddie Mercury's not around any more to camp up the soundtrack to eleven.

In other news, still waiting for Literotica to process the latest story, so no link as yet. Have also submitted Almost Chance to a couple of review sites, and it's sitting in the queue there. Am somewhat nervous about what they'll say, but you've got to get out there and take the blows as well as the praise, whichever comes along. If you're reading this and fancy doing a review, then please get in touch!

Praise or spam?

Had an email the other day, the sole content of which (in the subject line) was:

The best erotic story i ever read in my life

Which was nice - I'm just wondering which story it was, or if it's some bizarrely accurate spam.

But if you've read and enjoyed one of my stories, please let me know - and please let others know! Good reviews are for writers what fresh blood is for vampires - the power by which we will take over the world something which powers us and helps us to keep going.

Almost Chance: Reviews

Some comments from reviews of Almost Chance at Literotica:

You have truly captivated the submissive soul in this piece. So revealing, even in the unstated. Very well done.

This is the most beautiful and extremely erotic story I have ever read and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing it!

BDSM scares me. So why was I so highly turned on by this? 5 stars for the whole series.

This story was perfect. my Mistress suggested it to me and i am so glad that She did. i read it from beginning to end in two hours. From the very first sentence to the last word, i felt like i was Jen. i experienced everything right along with her. Her journey into submission actually *felt* real. Thank you for writing this story...and thank you even more for sharing it.

 You can find it there and read more or buy a copy at Amazon US, Amazon UK or Smashwords.

Interested in reviewing?

Would you be interested in reviewing Almost Chance? If you've got a blog, website or something else with readers who might be interested in a piece of lesbian erotica, then get in touch and I can send you a copy for you to review. I got quite a few good reviews for it when it was published on the web, but it would be nice to get some for the work as whole.

I'm happy to return the favour and review other people's work, though I will always strive to be honest and won't promise a good review if I don't like something.
