boredom

[wildsweetone]

okay i admit it. i'm bored stiff today. i can't settle to anything. i have tons to do, tons to write, tons to cook and i can't stay still long enough to complete anything!

i hate it when i'm like this.

I know that feeling. Horrible.

Try dropping EVERYTHING and take a walk outside. I know it sounds like a stupid idea, but I've tried it myself, and after 20 minutes, you stop muttering and calling me unintelligent, after 30 you begin to enjoy yourself, and when you do come home, much later, you've got both the perspective on life to organize your work load, and the energy to actually DO it.

 

[wildsweetone]

[Svenskaflicka]

I've been like that for weeks now. Including the cooking! I'm amazed I actually produced anything for Snippettsville.

ah, boredom.

It's strange to be bored when there's so much to do, and I totally understand the feeling. I don't think that there's any cure, although svenskaflicka's idea sounded great.

When I'm bored at home, usually the problem is that I'm at home. If I can get out and, say, shop for a while, I'll be happy again. until I go home. Then it's back.

Hey,

I'm working on a site that will include all kinds of stories unrestricted.

The way it will work is author's will have bookshelves. Each of the bookshelves will be a category of stories. The visitor clicks on stories and will see a list of thumbnails with author's names under it. When the visitor clicks on the author's thumbnail, he/she will be taken to the author's page containing the author's name, bio, and thumbnail bookshelves with a price for entering. The visitor pays for getting stories under the bookshelf. Bookshelf prices are set by the author. The visitor is allow access to all stories in the bookshelf after they pay. The payment is sent directly to the author's account.

Do you think that will motivate you; give you something to do?

Whooo!!!

What's the address? Is it only for sex stories? How much money can I get?

As much as visitors pay. There is no gimmicks. I'm building it, so that there will be no holes. I hack sites at times, so I'm covering the things that I would do. You will have to setup an online payment account, which is free. You will have to accept the payments that the visitors make to your account.

Interested?

Chicklet, this is my work around. I didn't get the investment I was looking for, and I changed my mind about using my own capital for this venture.

So basically, I write stories, post them there, and people pay me to read them.

All I need is to get a payment account for free, and send in the stories.

What's the catch?

I'm building this site. No catches. I will convert the stories to PDFs and include the author's information in the properties.

Sounds interesting. Any chance of letting mediocre authors on as well as geniuses?

The idea from the stand point of the site is not to make money from the stories, but to use the authors and the stories to generate increased viewership.

 

[BlackSnake]

PM me and I will send you a link to the site, but bookshelf is not up yet. I still have some work to do on it, and I only work on it between 1 and 2 in the morning. My life is a bit more complicated now.

Der Blacksnake,
Personally, I feel that the purity of my art would be sulleyed by hackneyed pandering to materialism.

The author's decide how much to charge visitors to see stories in the category of incest or some other category. Just remember, you won't get feedback like you get here. Visitors just won't come back. This is not a membership site. I would base the cost on the number of stories in the category, and then think of how much I would easily pay to view adult stories.

There are no passwords all can come. There are no samples. If they want it, they will have to buy it.
