New Milestones Thread

[EmilyMiller]

As always, not very impressive by the standards of people writing in popular categories, but my combined views just crossed 1,750,000, which is something I guess .

For a brief window of time, I had the #1 story in the Lesbian Sex category. And it made me smile.

I had to contact Comcast.

My "Haven't murdered anyone" streak may be coming to an end if they try to sell me a free mobile line one more time.

This is what dart boards and punching bags are for.

Dude, I rent. No dart boards allowed, I will have holes in my walls and floor real quick.

And I have weak wrists so punching bags are out. And I have a shoulder injury, so murder is out, too. I'll just have to glare at people menacingly.

You're a talented writer. Eviscerate them in fiction.

This comes under the ‘mental revenge is sweet/therapeutic/maybe even universal’ category. In this case, even with a happy ending.

Mark Twain, when shopping his first literary effort ‘Legendary Jumping Frog’ met with the usual issues of a first author trying to get published – rejections. Late in life he ran across the first publishing house editor who had rejected his first piece. To wit:

Twenty-one years elapsed before I saw Carleton again…. He called on me, shook hands cordially, and said at once, without any preliminaries:

‘I am substantially an obscure person, but I have at least one distinction to my credit of such colossal dimension that it entitles me to immortality – to wit: I refused a book of yours, and for this I stand without competitor as the prize ass of the nineteenth century.’

It was a most handsome apology, and I told him so, and said it was a long-delayed revenge but was sweeter to me than any other that could be devised; that during the lapsed twenty one years I had in fancy taken his life several times every year, and always in new and increasingly cruel and inhuman ways, but that now I was pacified, appeased, happy, even jubilant; and that thenceforth I should hold him my true and valued friend and never kill him again.

From Chapters from my Autobiography.

God damn it. Now I have to dig that out of a moving box somewhere and watch it.

The Comcast guy was saved by me having to run down to work for a few hours.

As of tomorrow my tenth work will be posted to Literotica (10 works in the last seven years (nine in the last four)) -- a small milestone, perhaps, but one that I'm pleased with.

 

[Erozetta]

After a year and seven months, I'm back up to 25 works and 200 followers. The term "Followers" still creeps me out and makes me nervous.

Yeah, I noticed you pausing in your step and look over your shoulder just then...

I briefly considered changing my name to Camp, so that I would have a cadre of camp followers.

My grammar is good; it's just my effort that's lacking. lol

oh damn - that was a half-edited comment and then I got distracted. I think I'm going to leave it like that though, just to get under your skin as a stalker should...

The funny thing is, it doesn't bother me at all. I've made way worse mistakes and left them on here. (And then I sometimes go back a month later and fix them...)

Just something for me, but I want to share. It's been a tough year writing, and for the first time, my Pending folder has been empty. Today, I got a fresh breath and managed to get two stories into that empty folder. Small victories are still victories. My WIP folder is bursting at the seams, so maybe tomorrow I'll get one or two more moved over.

Death match: your WIP folder v my WIP folder!
