How about them Giants, huh? Excellent!
I hope everyone has been enjoying themselves. It's been crazy fun for me. I've been heavily into photography for a while publishing an Aspiring Model Magazine, while working on getting my Hard Nine Magazine going in full-color print. After editing photos and doing the layout all of the sections for erotic stories were just fill text. I counted them....oh sh*t! I went out and had a smoke and thought,"I can do this." I sat back down and looked at the first spread. I know this model personally, this should be easy....not. See, my idea was not to have the stories written about the models the are the muse. I thought a bit, and bang! Knock out about 12k words and felt really good. Some of the text areas allowed for only 500-600 words. It got harder and harder. I'm thinking, crap! I shoot models all the time, and the poses...lol Checkout my work. You'll get the point, but I was starting to run dry. Here on lit, most of the stories I submitted are incest stories. I don't think the few readers that I have are ready for that yet. Heck, it's hard enough finding people who want to do more than just look at the photography. Would you believe that a lot of these models hate to read. I'm thinking, my gosh, you just signed my two page model release form.....did you read the part where I get to stick my thumb up your butt? But anyways, I was pushing towards the 24 hour mark, meaning I hadn't slept to that long. I was literally writing one sentence at a time. The Z monster almost got me a few times trying to slam my head against the desk. I had found everything in the world to do other than write the stories. My release end up being 3 days late. A few people complained, but they were just dying to see one of the models who finally decided to go full nude. They didn't stress me. What's been nagging at me is that I wrote the stories back to back, my name is in the by line for each and everyone of them. I haven't gotten any real feedback, but I'm thinking that's because it's my magazine and I decide who's work goes in it. The models are only going to look at their own photos as they tear it apart for their portfolios anyway. I only recall only one model really reading my model release form seriously, because when she got to the good part she burst out laughing.....I wasn't kidding about the thumb up the ass part. Ok, so it's 5:00am and no, I haven't gone to be yet. I'm trying to get a jump start on the next issue because I am relocating down to the Gulf Coast at the end of the month.
That's pretty much is what I've been up to. How about you guys? What's been going on? What has been fueling your drive to keep banging on the keys?
