Some story lines coming to light!

So, I have been able to maintain several days of buffer for a little while, adding new stories most days of the week despite a lot of problems in my personal life.

The story in Pets chapters 45 and 46 were planned since the beginning, around 2008 and took 11 years to be written. Why did it take so long? Because the tie in with Amber’s realizations was essential to the events: while the girls are getting closer, Richard is fearing for his life and I never could get to the right moment for that night out between the girls.

Over those 11 years, the sequence of events morphed a lot and I am rather pleased with the current version. Not with my words, I am never happy with the actual words I write but I guess few authors really are.

There will be of course other chapters dealing with the aftermath, but when Pets was planned to be a novel and not a serial, this was pretty much the climax of the story: the emotional one of the forming of a trouple, and the hold-up.

I am unsure, once the planned epilogue will be done, where Pets will go. I hope to get new ideas and would be sad to just complete it like Susanna and Sylvana on my other site.

On another note, I keep saying that I do not like Karen that much but I published a lot of chapters. That’s because I had great notes and know where to take the story. In a way, I am starting to like writing it. The current visit to the swinger’s club was planned since day one and will take place over several chapters.

Harmony again is nearing a major plot point, but I can’t seem to get there, perhaps because Pets and Karen are at crucial moments just when Faith is spreading her wings and getting, in my opinion, really interesting.

The circle is also about to get its 10th chapter (it might be programmed by the time this blog is published) and Sue is getting along well! I was very worried due to the holes in my notes but I am happy with the recent chapters.

The one thing I like with my buffer is that I can take more time with my stories. Faith chapter 16 was 1405 words long or 40% longer than my usual stories.

Pets chapter 48, since it’s a pivotal chapter, was 1708 words long, but Karen chapter 17 is almost twice as long as others at 1981 words!

We are far from the 600 and 700 chapters I had on my old site.

Still, Pets chapter 6 remains one of my guests at 3102 and I doubt I will ever top that. When I wrote it, it wasn’s meant to be serialized on the Internet.
