What are we all writing right now?

[CalBishForNow]

I have been in the middle of an ongoing series. Nine parts published, I've written roughly a third of the tenth part, and I have at least four parts planned after it and possibly a lot more than that.

Buuut I got a bit of writer's block on a part of the story that's unfamiliar to me, and a recent comment here inspired me to do something different, as a challenge to myself and test of a hypothesis. I've got a story idea out of it, so that's what I spent most of my writing time on yesterday and so far today. 1845 words at the moment, plus some time spent planning without actually putting words on the keyboard. If that comment was right, I'll follow up in that thread (maybe even in a fresh post, although I'm sure it wouldn't be relevant in this thread).

At the moment, I'm trying to write myself out of a corner I wrote myself into.

At the moment, I'm trying to write myself out of a corner I wrote myself into.

When I'm in a corner that I can't write out of - I go away. I go play with my radios, watch a movie, do something else. Let the brain cells drip-dry for a while. Something always pops up, even if it means a scene change to move the narrative along

Finishing up my entry for the Crime & Punishment contest.

A little bit of R&D on an idea inspired by @Kelliezgirl involving tantric yoga, shibari and sports medicine.

Do let me know when it goes live!

Do let me know when it goes live!

Same with yours!

 

[MillieDynamite]

Yeah, and I'm doing that, aren't I? I'm here, aren't I? But soon, I'll be back at it trying to the fucker back on track.

Instead, here's a new idea. A sleepwalking houseguest who thinks she's spying on a nudist beach. I'm nearly 700 words in, to the detriment of my work.

This one is taking quite a philosophical turn:


She seemed to have forgotten me already. Her mouth and eyes were open, and her hand was rubbing at herself while she stared into nothing. Small whimpering moans escaped her mouth, somewhere between excitement and frustration.

I left her to it and stepped out into the hall, closing the door behind me. I didn’t go to my own room, though. Those whimpers of frustration gnawed at me. If she was having trouble orgasming…

Everyone should be able to climax. It’s one of those universal fundamental rights, if you ask me. Should be included in the UN Principles or something: “The right to orgasm in the manner and company of your choosing” – well, with some provisos about where and how and with who, of course.

And the world would be a better place if we all saw it as our duty to help someone in need. It’s basic kindness. Human decency. Nobody should be left to reach for an orgasm that’s forever beyond them, if just a tiny bit of effort will help them.

So I turned round and went back into Poppy's room.

Good luck with your writing and welcome to Lit!!

As of right now I'm not writing anything new but starting today and over the next couple of months I have four different rough drafts that I need to revise before submitting to the site -- one for the Dark Fairy Tale contest (that's the first one up), two different Reluctance/NonCon stories, and a Voyeur story which will also be my first sequel.

 

[liftmykilt]

Currently, my oldest WIP is from January, at 6500 or so words, completely stalled out. It's about a very guarded older man who meets a free-spirited younger woman and has to overcome his hangups. Or something like that. I might just restart from scratch.

Otherwise, I have a new Mature, continuation of a series, and sequels to 2 Omorashi based romances.

Rattling around in my head is a dub con story. which I hope to start soon when it forces itself out.

 

[SkyBubble]

I'm working on two different stories for here, a ptential novella, some articles, and a couple of other projects, plus some editing.

 

[CharlotteKurai]

Good luck with your writing and welcome to Lit!!

Thank you so much and I appreciate so much that

Current ACTIVE pending/WIP include

-Another short to add to my changing room stories series.

-A heist story for the Crime and Punishment event.

-Part three of my Reborn series.

And about 4 other stories that just have notes and ideas written down to start eventually.

 

[ElectricBlue]

Christopher Lee is/was a great Dracula. On the Melissa Works in the Hardware Store; is that from real life experience, less the vampire reference?

The vignettes in parts 1 - 3 are true recounts, yes. The opening of the fourth part has a fourth wall type observation that my stories often have a scene where two sentences signify the shift from truth to fiction.

As the author, I always know exactly where that shift takes place, but the writerly trick is for readers not to know, so they willing step over the line and suspend disbelief. In several stories it's literally at a street crossing, or going through a doorway.

I'm rewriting a nightclub sex/pantomime act. That's the last major revision, then I can send it off to my proofreader.

Thank you, that aligns with some of my real life storyline shifts. Have you ever had any real life experiences that when you committed them to paper(story), you say to yourself, "No one is going to believe this," and then remove it?

No, more the reverse. I've had comments on a number of stories where readers have written, "Thank you both for sharing," which suggests they thought the characters were autobiographical and the events in the story true. Whereas in fact, the characters and story were completely fictional.

I suspect I do have circumstances where, if I wrote them, people would say, no that's bullshit, that would never happen. Better to mix it up completely, I reckon, giving folk no real truth confirmation, but knowing yourself when it's there. It adds an edge to the writing, I think, an anchor in truth that readers subconsciously sense, and suspend their disbelief for a while.

I'm getting close to finishing a follow-up to Porn Shoot Escalation. Could be all done in a couple of days.
Then I'll be back to finishing off Mailgirls Down Under. There will be surprise twists...

 

[BewareTheChain]

I'm working on the eleventh part of my ongoing second-person series, in which the protagonist is a human tricked into managing a boarding house for a group of seven demon ladies. I'm having more fun with it than I thought I would.

 

[WCSGarland]

a follow up story to Another Anniversary Dinner

 

[DeMont]

In the ongoing efforts to relieve the tedium of the endless AI-related discussions, let's talk about our ongoing projects. What have you got in your Drafts folder?

I'll go first:
- A gritty sci-fi western about a bandit and a bounty hunter on a mining planet (working title: Clever Fox and Tombstone Eyes)
- E/V: two mature women talk on the phone as they ogle the young gardener (A Shared Experience)
- A Regency story in the style of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen about a party that isn't quite as innocent as it seems (Mrs Danbury's Party)
- I/T: two girls disagree about whether the brother of one of them has the largest cock they've seen (My Sister Loses A Bet)
- Also I/T: another instalment in my "Too Cold Not to Fuck" series (Too Late Not to Fuck)
- Mind control: an office worker finds an experimental thought control device (The Office Fuck-Up)
- A novel-length story about my sword & sorcery characters Avilia and Sligh
- A dark fantasy story about a demon hunter and his apprentice, set in Germany during the Thirty Years' War
- And a few files that are little more than story titles: Happily Orgy After, News Girl Nance, The Night Became Her Lover

@StillStunned et al,
I've got a "mini-series" underway, a series of "mini-length" chapters I suppose you might call them, centred around two MC's and their adventures in which I take the part of the voyeuristic narrator.

It's actually coming together quite nicely, surprisingly.
Respectfully,
D.

A bit of a delay, I'm going to have to do one more read through. I found too many literals in what I hope would be the final edit. Sheesh, you'd think the characters would be able to get each other's names right? I guess that's my fault too!
