Is it a ritual that eighteen year olds are sent out into the barren desert and told not to return until they are no longer virgins?

Many of us come back with a bachelor's degree, too

 

[sirhugs]

NO! That would be cruel!
They're much younger than that when they head out.

but this being Lit, they can't consummate before eighteen- that would REALLY be cruel.maybe in this world, no one knows that humans have sex until it is explained to them before they are sent on their journey...

I'm really curious to see what surgery recovery does to my writing speed. No work for two weeks but also fatigue and pain. Toss up.

Do what you can, but don't overdo it, is my advice- though when I was the surgeons practice dummy, I took a long hiatus from Literotica.
Hope your fatigue passes quicker than mine. Would be hard to be slower- I'm seven and a half years since the first operation, and have never recovered my energy. The pain is not present, however.

I'm wondering somewhat the same thing. My knee surgery (partial replacement) is in 27 days. But I would be off for winter break anyway, so I'm just losing time. I just wonder how throttled I will be.

Well, I'm not going to be a happy camper here much longer. I am unfortunately one of those whose blood pressure spikes when using Meloxicam for an extended period of time. My blood pressure spiked to 180/115 so my doctor took me off it. Now, I will only have my writing to ease my pain.

While I can still get around somewhat pain free, there's a fresh pot of coffee going and the teapot is hot. There are donuts and carrot cake (yes, I was surprised to find that there are actually grated carrots in it) on the counter.

I'll be over in the corner finishing up and editing my story. The sex scene turned out to be more extensive than I planned for so I'm still finishing it up. I'll probably submit it tomorrow night (I hope) ...

 

[iwatchus]

I want a hug reaction for you ck. So

Same, consider mine a hug react.

We have the coldest morning of the fall, and it's finally Mulberry Morning. It seems all the mulberries in town lose their leaves at the same time. They rain leaves as the sun warms the branches until the tree is bare. That usually happens earlier than this.

I'll take the leaf blower out later and clear them off my wife's car. I think I can finish writing this sex scene before I do that.

 

[ColtonWrites]

I live! Waiting to get out of surgical recovery.

Owwww.

 

[NotWise]

Hope for a great recovery!

It's December 2, and I harvested broccolini again. The plants still look good, even after a 24F morning. I think I'll grow it again, despite the problems.

At 8,850 words, the male main character shows up, and the sex scene at the end starts at 9,200 words. People are gonna get this or hate it.

Sex scene still needs to get written, and that might take a day or two, but the story itself is complete.

And, @Bamagan , as predicted, the band "Bag of Weasels" makes their first appearance in my Valentine's Day story. We were talking punk & dance music inspired by @Z_TheWriter 's music thread, and he said "Bag of Weasels would make an excellent name for a punk band."

I heard their bassist used to play for a Norwegian black metal band called Grevlingsekk (Badgersack).

 

[TheRedLantern]

Now I've got lore for the band!

You should come up with at least the chorus for their most popular song off their self-titled debut album.

You ever have 2 characters dangling off the metaphorical cliff for roughly 30K words? I haven't... yet. So I kinda know the feeling you're describing.

 

[TheRedLantern]

In the back of my mind, the lead singer is a girl (think: Gwen Stefani, Avirl Lavigne, Courtney Love), and there's a big Fleetwood Mac triangle going on.

The first sex scene in What's Left of Me begins 52,000 words in. It'll be fine.

“Ohh, so you’ve written a sex story! I bet it’s very spicy.”
“Well, in a manner of speaking…”
“Starts right away and doesn’t let up, huh?”
“Ugh, not necessarily…”
“Ah, of course, you gotta get that hot hot seduction in first!”
“Uhm, actually, it’s a lot of obscure Korean poetry, and I still need to write the actual sex…”

No shade intended; it’s just amusing to see an author say their erotic story is practically ready, it just doesn’t have any sex yet

I've also got everything I need to be a professional racecar driver except for a racecar.

 

[Z_TheWriter]

~2.6K words today.
After some shitty days and not much progress, quite pleased with that.
The real trick is doing it again tomorrow.

I did it! I actually wrote roughly as many today

 

[NuclearFairy]

I think this week might be more busy than last...

Kids only have a week and a half of school left before winter break.

Schools here go through the 19th. We like to have kids in school even if they aren't doing anything.

Grade schoolers get off a week early around here for some odd reason.

 

[iwatchus]

How many school days a year are required in your state? Most places I have lived. it's been 180 days. I think its 175 here. Seems like your kids get a lot fewer than that. Unless they go a lot over the summer.
