Just wondering...

[SusanJillParker]

Besides your ass (lol), what do you sit on when writing.

I've always had a comfortable chair. I found this chair that has 5" of foam all around, is Italian leather, and has multiple adjustments with lumbar. I used this chair for years and still have it.

Then, a fan bought me a Herman Miller C chair. Oh, my God. I died and went to Heaven. I sprung for the optional headrest. This chair is the most comfortable chair I ever used until...

A fan bought me a Herman Miller Embody chair. Oh my frigging God. Are you kidding me? This is the chair that God must use. I can sit in this thing 12 hours a day and I do seven days a week without getting a backache.

The other thing that I absolute love are my Bose noise reduction headphones, a must have when watching movies. Only, they're not designed for watching TV. There's no volume control and mute switch. They're more designed for IPhones and IPads.

I scoured the Internet until I found a sliding volume control from Sennheiser that plugs into my TV. The headphones are pricy at $300 but Bose allows you 12 months interest free to pay them.

HOLY CRAP! What the hell do you do for your fans? That chair retails for about $1200 new, so apparently you have the best fans ever.

I've also got a few Herman Miller chairs at home, so I will further state that whatever chair they make is well worth the money. They are insanely awesome chairs, and I can't say enough good things about them. And yes, before you ask, I am sitting in one now.

I have a nice chair, but for whatever reason I like sitting on the floor with my back against the couch and the lap top on the coffee table.

I have a pair of noise cancelling polk audio head phones.

Free from the nice lady at Polk audio because I went down to their corporate office and set up their display for them.

Also got hooked up with a $1500 soundbar and Sub from Sonos because I pulled a rabbit out of my ass and got their shit in the stores on tiome for black Friday last year despite their efforts to sabotage themselves.

I might be willing to trade that set up though as I have a perfectly good Bose system any offers?

Being bloody skint at the time, I scrounged an old but posh office chair.
It worked very well for some years and started to fall apart.
I scrounged the front passenger's chair from a small car (an old Ford Fiesta), and persuaded a pal to weld a frame onto the base of the office chair.

The result is a comfortable chair with good lumbar support, of variable height and tilt.
And it's great.

My Aeron is the soapstone (brown), the only one that comes with leather arms as an option.

If you haven't yet tried it, try sitting in Herman Miller's Embody chair. It retails for $1,940. I'm sitting in one now, blue one with white trim and silver body. By looking at the thing, you wouldn't think it would be comfortable but it has a way better lumbar than the Aeron. The Embody's adjustable back support goes from the lower back to the shoulders.

What did I do for it? I write custom, personalized stories. Much of what I write isn't even posted on the site as many of my customers don't want their stories posted. They want them kept private. Most of my customers are men who want to impress their women. I do have one woman from Seattle and another one from Dubai who's very generous.

Moreover, I'm willing to barter my fee. You'd be surprised the things I've received from all over the world. It's fun. The bottom line is you never know who reads this stuff. Even Cher sent me a little something when I wrote a Paparazzi story with her in it under my BostonFictionWriter name.

Yikes, would I ever have a lot of 'splaining to do if a fan sent me stuff.

I usually sit on a couch, a short two person couch, so I guess it's a loveseat. We've got a nice recliner, leather, faux Arts 'n Crafts styled, but the arms aren't right for my elbows, and my much better half likes it. Plus it just doesn't feel right for me for more than a few minutes of sitting.

So I adjust the back cushion on my loveseat, put a small pillow under each elbow, and pull a bit of comforter from the back of the couch over my neck where a draft hits, and put my feet up. Then the cat jumps onto my lap as soon as I get set. So I think about a story for a while. Then the cat decides to go somewhere else and I get my laptop and procrastinate.

I am not productive and lately I've been bouncing back and forth to one story after another and not finishing anything for here.

Writing custom, personalized stories is how I earn my living. Some fans would rather barter for something that they have and that I need rather than paying cash.

Sometimes they work at a company where they get an employee discount or one fell off of a truck (lol).

Sounds like the ideal job for you. My first wife used to work for a wine importer, we never lacked for the stuff LOL.

I like receiving gifts in payment for a story from all over the world. I received hand carved wooden animals from Bali. A Yamaha melodica from Indonesia, a ladies Akubra hat from Australia, an original painting from India, an adult trike from Dubai. Then, there's a 120 bass accordion (I play), a Dell XPS laptop, Dell XPS Limited, clothes, jewelry, gift cards, perfume, flowers, and two Herman Miller chairs. You name it and I've received. The only thing I haven't received yet is a car.

I know where you could get an old Ford Fiesta. There's a seat missing, but I bet somebody could modify a Herman Miller chair to fit in its place.

[lowphat]

My fans bought me a car last year, so I guess a chair isn't bad

 

[jezzaz]

Jesus wept. A CAR???

I mean, even a chair. Wow.

No one had bought me a damn thing! (Not that I'd expect it; I'm just astounded that other people have got stuff for what they've written).

Some of us actually sell stuff on Smashwords That reminds me, don't we get a check soon? (Not asking you pilot, you wouldn't know.)

True, but it takes more than two or three titles to have anything to sneeze at. And why wouldn't I know? I bet I have twenty times the titles on Smashwords that you do. (120. http://www.smashwords.com/books/search?query=habu)

(Fact is, though, I don't know, because I get my royalties from a publisher, who lumps all of the many distributors my books are on together.)

Actually, more than just writing stories, the key is to answer your e-mails.

Some of these men are lonely. I can't tell you how many men tell me that I'm the only writer who has ever responded to their e-mail. That's sad.

I answer every e-mail I receive unless it's nasty.

Whenever I post an incest story, I receive 200-300 e-mails the first two days and I answer everyone of them.

For every 1,000 e-mails I answer, I get one fan who wants me to write them story for a small fee. For every 10,000 e-mails I answer, I get one fan who wants me to write them a series of stories.

Never do I solicit anyone using Literotica. My rule is they must write me for me to solicit them.

I could write a book from just the e-mails I've received. Some of these fans have amazing stories. The best e-mail I ever receive was from an American woman living in Dubai as an oil executive and who lusted over her son. She wanted me to write a series of stories where she and her son are royalty travel through time.

I wrote the Queen and Prince Together for Ever.

With every e-mail she sent, she was afraid her government would discover her incestuous secret. She finally stopped writing and paying me. I think I wrote 5 chapters. Maybe one day she'll contact me again.

Uh huh, sure thing buddy. We believe you

P.S. I sit in a big oversized leather executive chair from Sam's Club. It cost me about a hundred and fifty bucks. I love it to death.

Imagine their surprise when they find you are a middle-aged junior accountant male named Freddie in Boston.

I've given a Smashwords citation (120 titles) that anyone can check out (and that's just one of my pen names. The Dirk Hessian pen name adds a dozen more (http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/dirkhessian). And there are more. Your turn to pony up a citation. Or is this another thread you run away from when someone calls you on your nonsense?

Just because you have no life, just because this is your life, you get your fun in antagonizing everyone.

No one likes you, Todd. Even your mother couldn't stand you.

I don't care if you don't believe that I'm a woman. I don't need to prove anything to you. You're a nothing and a no one.

Go do what you do best. Go post mores shit to stir up trouble while blaming everyone for your sad, little existence.

Perhaps you should drink less and write more.

Have a wonderful evening.

Don't you mean I've been given?

You've been talking yourself up forever, but you've never shown one bit of proof you actually sell squat. It's funny, all the people you call liars, have better scores here, than you do. I wonder if that has any merit?

I've proved a whole hell of a lot more than you have.

Sales can be compared by anyone else with books at that distributor. Shall I cite my listings at other distributors too?

Come on, lowphat, step up to your mouthing off. Link your Smashword author page(s).

I said twenty times what you have. Do you have at least seven? Come on, back up your mouth--or, as usual, run away.

Pretty much everyone who has been around knows the various alts you use, Freddie, and that you're male. Periodically you admit to them yourself on the forum (which makes it sort of crazy that you are trying to establish youself as female). Anyone who reads your posts can tell you're male.

And there's no way in hell that you make much of anything off of writing stories by request for pay. There just isn't a market for that, and you making your usual wild assed claim about something like that misleads NooBs on the forum. You're fun as performance art (and I've also posted several times that I thought you were a good writer), but that's all you've got.
