But, perhaps finally having been broken by Coronavirus lockdown, my muse finally returned a little while ago and prompted me to work on a story idea that I'd begun and not completed. I've always been interested in mind control stories, and loved those stories that showed someone's mind changing as more and more control was exerted on it. For me, the process of it was just as erotic and powerful as the result, seeing the control slip away and watching the will absent itself.
All that turned into the story Heather's New Start which tells of a woman who looks for a new apartment and finds an estate agent who has some very exclusive properties available...all she has to do is relax and open her mind. It's been great to post it, and to see that others have enjoyed it so much.
For those who have been asking, I do have ideas for a couple of other stories around that. I stopped the story where I did because it felt like a natural end for that part of Heather's story, but what happens next to her is floating around in my head. There's also an idea for another story this time centred on Amanda and her processes, giving a bit more of an idea of what she does and how she gets away with it.
Both will be written sometime soon, hopefully, as long as the muse remains with me.
However, having rediscovered the muse it felt right to return to a story that I'd publicly left unfinished, rather than just going for one of the many privately unfinished ones on my hard drive. The good news is that having reread Becoming Anne, I could see where the story would go. Chapter 7 of that has now been published, and Chpater 8 (which feels like it will be substantially longer) is well underway. I can also see the shape of the remaining story, which will likely be another four or so chapters, and an idea for a sequel popped completely unbidden into my head the other morning as well, so that has found its way onto the long list of things I need to work on.
All in all, I can only apologise for my absence, but better late than never, right? I hope you enjoy the stories, and I'd love to hear more from you if you do. You can comment here, you can follow me on Twitter, and you can even get in touch by email at anonymous dot writer at g mail dot com
