I write some of my best work one-handed.

No, really, I do! And it is how I imagine many of my fans enjoying it as well. Same boat. With out free hands we could high five or something over the internet right? *Wink*

Ha ha, dear Patron.

How do you do? I do well. I had to burn a bit of midnight oil to provide the week's serving of hot smut, but I would never leave you hungry and wanting for too long.

Full disclosure on EB11 Teaser 1. It is totally this last week's release. And I fully intend in releasing another nibble of the chapter later this next week. Why do I say this last and this next? Because frankly, everyone is in a different part of the planet and what might be a Monday to you might be a Sunday to me and what have you.

Either way, I tend to have the same pattern: Free Check in rant early week, Content release mid to late week. Polls and bonus rants sprinkled through a month, and deluxe content once every month or so. (I have the draft written, just need to add the images and hopefully get another updated version from the artist. I am obviously being dragged along, so I will be finding a new artist. More to come on that in the DDD post. Sorry dears.)

So expect more content later on. Part of me wanted you to pick the stripper story, but part of me needs to get back to EB. I can't let that series stall for too long. But the last few chapters have been intimidating. Crazy, right? But the sooner that is done, the sooner my dear free members get their long-awaited meal as well. So much to do, so little time, and all those wonderful Wonka-isms.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to read and respond to both the polls last week. The AI poll got a nice response. I am glad my foot isn't as full of birdshot as I thought it would be. Did you know, fun fact, I have actually been shot by bird shot before? (Bird shot being the smaller-size version of buckshot, AKA shot gun ammo.) Crazy story. But it was a freak accident at a poorly designed skeet-shooting location. "What the heck is falling from the trees?" I said when I felt something like a rock smack against my cheek. It happened again, and I knelt down and picked up a single granule of the stuff. Overshot from a station on the opposite side of a huge wall casually landing where people walked. USA, am I right? Essing my dee aych, dear Patron. I've been shot.

But yeah, the polls were enlightening, and I am glad I shared my feelings in the way I did. The number one response I got (A whopping ten people!) was that they were thankful for the transparency in my writing process. I try to be pretty open about how I work. How I do things, what I do with the writing and how I go from one step to the next. I get the concept about hiding 'company and trade secrets' and I also suppose loose lips also sink ships. But, like, this isn't wartime and although I am in some sort of competition with other writers, I'd rather all writers improve and write better than horde my discoveries.

Shit, if it weren't for the erotica writers subreddit I'd have never started any of this and still been posting blindly or more likely, not posting anything at all after having gotten bored of it again. Now I have you to thank for keeping the fire lit. If they hadn't shared their information with me, well, you get it. So I try to be transparent. Again, I believe in myself and what I am writing and doing and at the end of the day, I'm doing it for myself as much as everyone who supports me. Not just chasing some mythical 4-figure income by cranking out 3,000 word shorts into Amazon and flooding an ocean of sewage with more sewage.

Now that was cruel, but it is how all markets seem to work these days. Someone does something right, people emulate and offer a cheaper shittier version. Someone does that, but shittier yet more quickly. Does that pattern sound familiar? Yeah, because it is a worldwide trend in like, every aspect of our lives. Food, information, entertainment, gaming, shopping, etc. etc. Here is the holier than thou part where me taking six months to cough out a polished version of my work on Amazon is some kind of gift to the world of creation. Haha.

But you know what, 9 people supported me by reminding me, as ever, to just keep doing my thing. Truly the lesson of life. I am just so flappable at times and need that reminder. Of the over 500 people who could have responded, I only needed 9 to tell me to chill my grill and I am good to go again. Although having 3 people click that they came pleased me. I like to imagine that it's the same 3 who told me I had no idea what I was talking about. Because whether they clicked that box as well (I have no idea, its all anonymous as far as I can tell. I can't even tell which clicks are unique patron votes or anything. I know as much as you! Neat, right?) They did indeed come. If only to tell me that I am a silly bitch. Which I am, undoubtedly. Haha.

Really, implicating them to call me a Jezebel, which is low-key something I am kind of into, softens the blow of the real impetus behind the click. Anyway. I will leave that poll open so my feet can properly be shot full of holes many moons in the future when I check back after someone comments that I have violated a modern Ai-usage agreement or something and end up in handcuffs. Please, honorable internet and society, don't put me in handcuffs for generating images of my avatar with a big fat weenie. More to come this week.

Ha Ha and Ta ta~
