Writing Goal for the Day?

[soflabbwlvr]

Don't knock the cribbage! It's speedy, but great for math nerds like the two of us.

Of course, I mentioned our epic matches to a friend, and now all I can think of is her story of bringing a cribbage board into the room when giving birth to pass the time between contractions.

When I was in college, my roommate and I probably played over 1000 games of cribbage. We played even more backgammon, but cribbage was number 2 on the list. About a month ago I was at the store looking at a cribbage board, and I couldn't remember the rules. I drew a total blank. Oh, how I wish I could get those lost brain cells back.

Mr Penn and I are also cribbage fans, although we haven't played in a while.

Does it have reindeer? Or, weredeer? Or whatever you've decided to call them?

Nope, this is totally different. Mostly just writing it as a goof for some friends, so I'm undecided about posting it. I don't want to spoil it in the public forums, but I can let you know more if you want via PM.

I've forgotten how to play backgammon, if it makes you feel any better.

We ended up relying mostly on wikipedia for cribbage rules. The rules that came with our set read like they had been translated one too many times, so we found them less than helpful.

. . . fondling then sucking the twin carbuncles adorning her outer meat curtains as if they were xeroxed copies of the ones on her melons . . .

Damn. Writing quality erotica is a lot harder than I thought.

If you need some inspiration or guidelines, might I suggest this article, a collection of tips from Men's Health and other men's magazines?

I just learned, for example, that

If you're out in public but want to make your intentions clear, slowly and firmly flick your tongue against the palm of her hand. If she just wipes it off down her skirt, you've blown it.

It's a good thing I'm not a man--I would never have known about this trick!

And then there's this little gem:

81 percent of women do not want you to attempt anal sex without asking.

With such an exact number, it was clearly a highly scientific study.

To edit a character in order to make him less stereotypically douchey. I hate it when I re-read what I wrote and realize I put a whole bunch of cliches into someone, and very little actual substance. Gah.

Luckily, today's rest day at the Tour means I won't be tempted to simply stare at bicycles.

I have been lazy in writing these last few weeks, so I'm pinching myself and getting back into gear. I'll be adding to my novella for Lit. and when I take a break from that, there is an incest story that popped into my head a couple days ago that is demanding attention, so I'll take care of that one too.

Hoping to get a mainstream industrial espionage thriller assessment back to the author today--and to come close to wrapping up the last review of Dirk Hessian's Constantinople to go back to the publisher for release, I hope, this weekend. Have a story bugging me to write too.

 

[PennLady]

At a bit of a standstill after finishing R&B, but something will call for my attention (besides the kids).

 

[TxRad]

More editing today.

But there is this nagging idea rolling around in the back of my head but I'm not sure I want to take on such a large project at this time.

 

[mynameisben]

A little self editing is in store for me. I have a pocketful of periods to pepper up my story and break up all those ornery, run-on sentences.

 

[lovecraft68]

Trying to finish up my latest. It's a mother/son incest piece, but I am curious to see the reaction to it.

Unlike most of those types of stories this isn't light and fluffy. The father is an abusive drunk and his abusing of the mother is what leads to her taking some "comfort" in her son's arms. So a bit on the darker side, which is where I feel comfortable, we'll see if the readers agree.

I think I'll work on my newest story today after I get home from work. That'll be around 7PM, so it should be a tad bit cooler by then.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

My last personal edit is done on my novel, and I've sent it to my volunteer editor for his final look through before I take the next step in publishing.

So to relax, I'm going to write something that's less stressful. . . part two of a short novella for Lit. then I'll touch on that incest story that has come to mind for the last couple of mornings when I first wake up - a good sign it wants written.

Yes it is!!! I have notebooks filled with dreams, nightmares, and daydreams, ones that scream to be written....

This one popped into my head and then this morning it popped up again, this time with a couple new twists, so I'll definitely have to write it.

Good!

I'm waaaaaaay behind in my daily writing contests - 300 fiction and 1000 word horror themed. I should do something for them.

That's my method. I replace those pesky "ands" with periods. Things look a bit better when I'm done/

 

[LettersFromTatyana]

To make some progress, even if all I can squeeze in is twenty minutes.

On the plus side, I don't feel irritated with my characters . . . yet.

 

[soflabbwlvr]

I'll be happy if I can squeeze out 1000 words on my latest story during my lunch break.

 

[sr71plt]

Ahhhhhh. The last of the Dirk Hessian Constantinople out the door last night. Just in time to start on the looming two-week deadline on the next habu. *sigh*

 

[PennLady]

I think I need to not having a writing goal for a couple of days. I'll try to start up again next week.

That's a goal I can agree with!

I'm going to busy setting up websites in about 24 - 48 hours, so I'll be forced to stop writing to concentrate on that. *shrugs*
