Playlist, Life Updates, etc.

God, I hate Wednesdays. It's the time when I have to do the most work for my classes. Discussion questions must be posted, lessons must be read, and to be honest I'm kind of sick of having to be creative. Oh well. It's the life of a student.

In other news, I'm seriously considering taking a sabbatical from drinking. Earlier this week I had a ridic episode that someone had to witness (or listen to, as it is). I'm sorry about that. Normally I don't tend to be a basketcase, but there's been a lot of unnecessary stress that I'm slowly trying to get rid of. So tonight I don't think I'll be drinking at the bar.

I know a lot of people are wondering what's going on with my writing. Well to be honest, I haven't been feeling as awesome as I used to about my work. Yes, from time to time I do get a little intimidated and insecure about my work. But then I realized that there are always going to be people out there that are "better" writers. I put better in quotations because even though we may write erotica, our styles are completely different. We don't have the same experiences or go through the same emotions.

Plus, I'm still young. I have more than enough time to perfect and sharpen my skills. While I know all this, it does get a little hard to keep that tiny green monster at bay. I'll keep on trying, you know?

I don't know how publishing is going to go for me. I was given an offer a while ago and recently my work and bio had subsequently been removed from the site without any notice. It's very frustrating and kind of unprofessional but no matter. I suppose that these things aren't always meant to be. And maybe I'm just reading things the wrong way or overanalyzing (like I tend to do ALL the time). Truthfully, I haven't updated as I should or kept on top of things but my life has been kind of crazy and when it really boils down to it: writing will always be my favorite hobby but my life and getting things in order will always come first.

Anywho, basically all I'm saying is...give me some time. I haven't forgotten about you guys. I just...things have really been hard for me. But I'm back now and I promise to stay around for awhile.

I mean, it is clearly my responsibility to bring music and wonderment. (LOL, I sound so freaking narcissistic right there).

So, I'm gonna post a playlist of songs I've been listening to lately. These little numbers have been helping get my thoughts down on paper (or Word, whatever) and been keeping me sane. I'm almost finished with Always and Never. I decided to revamp it, as it needed to be longer and a lot more detailed. It should be up in a few.

As always, take care until next time!

Rock on!

Country Roads and other Goodies

Hey guys!

Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I'm so glad you guys are feeling the blog idea. It really is the best way for me to update you on the happenings with my writings and my ridiculously boring (I mean fascinating!) life.

This is gonna be a short one. I just recently came back from partying it up. Celebrating my West Virgina football team kickin' some Auburn ass. That's right folks. I am a WVU Mountaineer and DAMN proud. It was one of the best games I've seen in a while, and I'm not even an American football fan.

Needless to say, our Mountaineer reputation is much improved. And like most people know, we are the ULTIMATE when it comes to partying. Our motto here at WVU? Win or lose, we still booze!

Anywho, back to things. I will actually post the revised version of Used sometime soon. It's an ending that might upset people but I really believe it keeps the story intact. I got a lot of shit for the posted ending and I will agree it really was weak. It wasn't what I was planning on doing, but I got sucked into the notion of happily ever after. And sometimes that won't always be the case, you know?

So yeah. I'll be posting a playlist soon. It's just a bunch of songs that I'm into.

Oh, and this is new. I'm also giving up the cast pictures for my new story. I normally don't write my pieces with specific actors in mind. But the personalities and looks definitely coincide.

The cast for Always and Never:


The Guy The Girl













Hotness, right? I know. Catch you guys later. Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!

Always and Never

Here's an excerpt from my latest short story Always and Never. I am nearly finished the rewrite and I'll be submitting it to LitE in a few days.

"I see you," he said quietly. Her body pulsed hungrily at the sound of his voice, the timbre so low and masculine. The man simply smoldered. He had the power to soak her panties with just a few words. Another reason to stick around.

She was silent; a small part of her hoped if she was quiet enough he would hang up, giving her the leverage to leave.

But she knew that wasn't going to happen. He wouldn't have to say a word and she would still comply. He would get what he wanted; he always did.

"Why are you sitting in the car? Come in here."

She could hear his breath catch in his throat. He was already stroking himself. He loved to do that while on the phone with her. The rare times he called her at work, she would imagine him seated in his high-rise office, pants undone, a ragged breath coming out slight and sharp as he fondled his balls and whispered for her to tell him what she planned to do to him the next time they were together.

.....

"Baby," she heard him moan and her hips rocked involuntarily at the sound. Traitorous body. "Come inside please. Don't make me beg."

She could hear the slight edge in his soft words. It was all an act. He would make her pay, this she knew. His love came like a two-sided coin: soft and sensuous, rough and deep.

She loved it all.

Yes, despite everything she loved the way he treated her. It made her feel like those college nights all over again, when she drove around at three in the morning with her friends, Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World blaring through the speakers of her Jeep Cherokee. Those nights, with nothing but burger wrappers, endless cups of cappuccino, digital cameras, and best friends...those nights she felt reckless and wanton.

That same feeling, that realization of knowing she was alive, here and now, she felt the same way when she was with him. Those few hours she spent writhing underneath him as he ripped furious pleasure from her body meant so much to her.

She would give in.

She always did.


Hope you enjoyed that! Lots of other goodies in store.


Rock on!

Oh Snap!

So, I finally broke down and decided to create a blog.

Actually the real deal is I have to design a blog for one of my graduate classes and I thought "well I should totally make one devoted to my writings."

Well, here it is. I'm going to try and update frequently. I say frequently and not daily because really, who the hell is that interested in my life?

I will also try and post my stories on here before I do so at Lit, so you lucky ducks who actually have the misfortune (cough, I mean extreme pleasure) of reading my fabulous musings can actually get a special treat. I promise to be exciting and an absolute blastey blast.

There will be discussions about music, new bands and songs that I like or just can't stand, movies I'm pumped for, guys I would seriously bone, and of course spankable hot erotica!

Haha, so thanks for sticking around. It's gonna be sweet.

P.S. I'm working on fixing this ridic template. It is so not me. I need it dark, with a lil' bit of that spice.


Rock on!
