Anyone for a smut short?

Hi everyone. Yes, I know you are all wanting some more of the stories I'm not updating fast enough. The thing is I've been researching the Amazon Kindle ebook-reader. How it works, if I could take my writing with me and mark things to fix on the go (which I can't do with my handheld because it bricked, or my smartphone because it has crappy battery ( Read more... )

I've split screened for editing before, so that's no big thing. I'm just happy it'll be more than just an e-reader for me. I could free up almost an entire hour if I could just edit in the breaks at work. I certainly can't write. I've this annoying coworker that seems to think I've an answer to anything and everything. She keeps asking me about how to do her wedding (as if I have a clue, I've never been married).

I looked at that. Yes, some publisher have a better idea of what it does than others. Very cool in any case.

I got discouraged with my writing. Everything was coming out wrong and I repeat phrases and words which bugs people. The thing is being dyslexic means I don't see the repeats and it isn't something I can learn not to do. I was having to go through the writing three and four times before anyone else could see it because I didn't want to upset anyone and it got to where I didn't even want to touch the computer. Then the computer broke. It turned into a crappy year. I wrote for novel writing month, not because I wanted to, but because it is something I always do. I hate the book I wrote. Hate it. I've never hated my writing before this last year. Disliked that I couldn't see my own mistakes, sure. Hate? Not so much. I'm probably far too sensitive, but I just couldn't read my own stuff. It was awful. I finally just wrote something and sent it to beta without rereading and posted the returned file without reading it. I went through it looking for the editing marks that denote my beta's thoughts, but I didn't read anything except those. If it weren't for the people commenting that they were so happy I was back it would have been a while longer before I started again.

For that matter I'm still not rereading what I write very much. It means scrambled sentences every once in a while and I just delete it most of the time when it is pointed out to me. I'll only try to rewrite when it is really important to the story. Smut is so much easier because I don't have to worry that it makes sense beyond everyone having the right number of limbs.

I remember seeing him on both shows. I pointed it out to my mother even. She likes Closer.

Okay, but if you think of something you want say so. I'm quite willing to write you whatever you'd like to see. You made my week much better just by clarifying about the kindle. :D
