Not a bad run-rate for the very first month of existence. If someone had told me before I started the blog that half of this would be the first month’s return, I would have taken it. My baby seems to be healthy and doing well. And it’s all thanks to you — the readers. This blog exists for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So where did the journey really begin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes, this blog started one month ago. And yes, I wrote for nearly a year on Xossip before that. But the story dates back much more. I don’t know when exactly I started writing. Poetry and short satirical stories were how I vented pent up frustration from the work front. I never really thought I would write erotica. That changed the day I commented on the picture someone posted of his wife on Xossip. Curvy, endowed but more importantly gifted with eyes and a face that could melt my heart, she took my breath away. He called himself Gandio7 on Xossip and had asked what someone would do if she presented herself that way to them.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI wrote a spur-of-the-moment fictional note. The response it got was way beyond anything I could have expected. I asked him if he would mind if I wrote a story about her on my own thread and he declined \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That I never featured her in my stories remains a regret to this day. Anyway, the response to that little note prompted me to start writing fictional stories. Requests followed and soon I was buried under over 100 requested stories — everyone wanting to know when their story would be published. I wasn’t writing my own stories anymore and trying to keep pace with the growing requests. Personally, I believe quality suffered and the shutting of Xossip came as a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any regrets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Of course there are. We are a greedy species and it would be inhuman to not have regrets. I wish more of you had posted comments, giving feedback, critique, encouragement or just letting me know what you liked…even as I type this, I have the very first comment on my story “Take it Easy Urvashi Didi<\/a>” I wish more of you rated the stories (there are the 5 stars at the end of each post, just before the social sharing icons). I wish more of you had written in to me and got to know me…the list goes on. I wrote to a couple of you (you know who you are), but got no replies. I wish I had \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But hey, this is the very first month, maybe reading this will encourage you, hint, hint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what next?<\/h2>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI enjoy writing erotica. It’s a hobby. It’s not and never will be a means to earn an income, either through advertising or in any other way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s an expression to fantasies, ideas, concepts, plots and weirdness that I carry in my head…with a lot of sex thrown in. What I write doesn’t always reflect my views. Nor would it be fair to size me up sexually based on the fiction I write. That said, if you read my stories, a pattern develops. There are certain sexual acts I like more than others and it does reflect in the stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right now, I am almost caught up on publishing the stories I had written on Xossip. The last of those will be live in the next few days. There are a few new stories that I have already written and scheduled for publishing. Among them is a Christmas story and a New Year’s Story that will be published on those days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have been seeing a story get published every day. I wish I was, but I am nowhere near that prolific a writer. The daily publishing is because of the bank of stories I had from Xossip and an effort to get caught up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes me nearly a week to create a story from concept to visuals and editing, before I can publish it. So, after the historic stories are published, the pace of publishing is likely to come down, settling down at one story per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will I still take requests you ask?<\/h2>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nYes I will, but I will be more selective than I was on Xossip. I won’t let the requests overwhelm me where I have no time to devote to my own stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am always looking for women to play the protagonist in my stories. And I look for contributors who have multiple pictures of beautiful, sexy women they would like featured on my blog. Nudes, semi-nudes, revealing or just regular pictures, all are welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
