[Djmac1031]

Several of you have already discovered my just published essay on my experiences with writer's block, but ill link below for anyone interested.

And I just wanna say to those who've commented with encouragement and advice that I do appreciate it. The comments section obviously doesn't allow for easy engagement but I wanted to publicly state here that of course I read them and appreciate the feedback.

"Library of Sexual Congress"? How long had you been sitting on that one?

Despite my writer's block, I still can come up with the puns

My Father's Secretary Ch 3 submitted, shrink story chugging towards conclusion.
Still have the strength to write a few stories in me.
But I feel the black cloud lurking, all ready to drop a two ton block on my brain when I need the next idea.

I just finished the first draft of the shrink story. Already looking over my shoulder hoping that what is looming is a visit from my muse, not The Black Cloud of depression.
The Black Cloud likes to take advantage of any empty space in my brain.

so I was thinking about a story I originally started back in August of 2023 last night, a story I got several thousand words in on before it just ground to a halt.

And I found myself thinking "Why dont i just do this?"

Next thing you know, the words are pouring out and then i woke up this morning with a solid endgame in mind.

Brains are weird, am I right?

and some of our brains are weirder than others...

congratulations on the success.

anybody else find it really weird not to have any work in progress?

I'm so desperate that even the opening line generator won't help me.

Have you tried writing a tongue twister or a limerick?

Had a lovely dinner with my daughter last night. Feeling a bit better. But still can't find my muse...and the only reward is a fresh story for you to read.

Unless you'd like a character named after you? That i can do...

Good news. Those floppy eared rodents Duleigh spit my way came up with a half arsed plot:
https://forum.literotica.com/threads/a-swap-of-a-different-sort.1642615/

I'm 600 words into an introduction and a draft ending. Just have to fill in the meat, so to speak. Pausing to let the unknowns percolate a bit.

your suggestions welcomed, whether i use them or not.

If you add a husky voice and an embrace my ears prick up.

Maybe you can do something like falling in love with a husky voice. Something where the character keeps hearing this enchanting husky voice somewhere. Like regularly walking in an alley at night after a night out, where he (or her, genders whatever you want) hears her voice drifting down from a balcony above. Maybe singing, like a modern siren. He finds it beautiful, and there might be some special messages within the song he heeds or should heed.

This happens multiple times, to the point that he even declines a beautiful women her advances just so he can walk down that alley alone later that night.

I'm missing part of it, but eventually you could have them meet in a way that he can't see her. He climbs up to the dark window because he can't stand it any more, or because he hears sobbing, or something that compels him to go up.

There he meets her, though can't see her in complete darkness. It'll be just his senses and the meaningful words that culminate into a once in a lifetime erotism.

Afterwards he'll be alone. Maybe something mystical, like an empty room, or waking in the alley below.

What has happened? What happens after? I don't know. Maybe your muse can come out if hiding and fill in the details.

Given my name it would have either be a stuffed animal or a vibrator.
I’m okay with either one if it helps you.
Unless of course you wanted to do a fantasy story about a dragon and the fair maiden he adopts when she is left out as a sacrifice…

slightly off topic, but I did start the thread...
