A funny week for writing. Some days were a real struggle; a few others, I hit the golden 2,000 mark. I suffered some mid-week hump insecurity over the current scene, as demonstrated in the show vs tell poll.

This week I polished up the "bridal" scene, and shifted Julia and David back to her apartment so she could reveal the next surprise. It's an important plot point, ...

FanArt by Fraylim: Bridal Experience

Fantastic work on this one, I think: beautiful, but also captures of some of the hesitancy or disbelief David carries through the experience. Following on from Monday's sneak peek, here's a bit more from later on in that scene, relevant to the image:

(Keep in mind that this is still early draft stuff, so apologies for typos.)

Julia brandished her knife at me. “Now tell me how it felt being the bride.”

Poll: Showing Versus Telling, Two Versions

As I move into the final scene of chapter 4, setting up the climax that ultimately results in Julia's departure from the story (sort of), I'm finding myself struggling--as I often do--with the usual dilemma of show vs tell. Basically, I want to get on with the action and push the plot forward. At the same time, I have this unfortunate (?) tendency to--well, show everything, overly describe the action.

In this instance, I thought I might see what the readership thinks.

Happy (belated) Canada Day!

I know there's a couple of Canucks amongs the subscribers, so--a day late--Happy Canada Day! With a special Fraylim Canada-themed Cindy for your enjoyment. I hope you enjoyed a plate of poutine, knocked back a pint of Upper Canada lager, finished it off with a Beaver Tail, washed it down with a glass of milk from a bag, kicked back with some Tragically Hip, and read a little Margaret Atwood to round out the day. Eh?

Monday Sneak Peek: Bridal Experience

At this point, it might seem as though I'm just trying to tick as many TG trope boxes as possible--and you wouldn't be wrong--but I'd had this scene planned long ago. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! This extract is from Chapter 4.

Word count this week doesn't reflect today's writing, as I've spent my time giving Chapter 3 a final look-over; nor the changes caused by splitting the chapter into two.

A bit of a suprise post today: I decided this week to split Chapter 3 into two. In terms of how the chapter is structured, I was reluctant to do this but as it approached 60k words in length it became obvious that this...

Fan Art by Fraylim: Maid Duty

What is it about the French Maid uniform that's makes it so sexy, so fetishized? I'll let Julia explain, with another short sneak peek from chapter 3:

            I returned with two glasses, a plate of cheese (cave-aged cheddar, stilton, some brie) and water biscuits from England, and placed it on an end table. Sitting, we were a contrast in comfort: Julia in slim jeans and fitted long-sleeved black top, and me, snug...

Constant 3, Chapter 3-4: Noir, part 1

The next scene from chapter 3, in its nearly-complete form. I don't antcipate any major changes to this section before publication. There's a little Easter Egg here, a thank you to Fraylim for all the fan art, in the form of an appearance of their signature character, Stacy.

As always, enjoy! Comment and feedback most certainly appreciated!

Monday Sneak Peek: Maid Duty

Increasingly, there's a lot of material to choose from for a sneak peek, but this one might be fun. It matches up well with Thursday's artwor by Fraylim, which I'll leave open for all members since the two go together so well.

This scene follows the threesome with Caleb. David spent the night at Jonas's, but is called back by Julia to her apartment. She has a little work lined up for him....

Enjoy! And of course, please feel free to leave comments, give feedback, and so on.

Another fine week for writing, averaging 2000/day. I'm still waiting for the crash, but continue to enjoy this period of increased productivity!

This week, I finished off Chapter 3, Scenes Six and Seven: these include some naughty role-play, a serious discussion, and an unexpetedly saucy scene. Scene seven was intended to be entirely smut free, but whenever I stick David and Julia to...

Short Story: You Want It Darker (preview)

After finishing Constant 3-4 and 3-5 (the scenes that start at Noir and finishes at Julia's condo), it struck me that the two scenes formed a full story arc. I'd been trying to write some shorter fiction on the side, and this seemed a good way into it. I trimmed out those two scenes and started to rewrite it as a short story. At first, I thought it would be quick and easy - just a matter of swapping names around. So, Julia became Eleanor, David became Callum, Cindy became Chloe,...

Fan Art by Fraylim: Cindy in the Mirror

Another fantastic piece of art by Fraylim. This one from Book 2, Chapter 7. This is when David is telling Crystal about the night with Dan and what happened after they returned to his apartment. David's in the bathroom and has a bit of a moment when he sees himself in the mirror.

A few members and I tried to capture this moment using AI, but the software really struggled to represent the female figure in the reflection. I think Fraylim's done a wonderful job if it here:

Constant 3: Chapter 3-3

The next scene from chapter 3, in its nearly-complete form. I don't antcipate any major changes to this section before publication, although it's a very important scene for reasons that become clear later. Enjoy, and feel free to comment or leave feedback.

Three: Magic Mirror

Julia wanted to wipe out the remaining traces of masculinity she saw in me. Lurking behind those c-cup mounds jiggling on my chest, the curve of my hips or flowing hair, she detected traces of the...

Monday Sneak Peek: Aftermath

There's a lot to pick from, but having shared a peek at the threesome at Julia's place last week, I thought for this week we'd pick up in the immediate aftermath. Kicked out by Julia and not wanting to be alone afterwards, "Cindy" spends the night at Jonas's apartment, waking up next to him the following morning...
