First if all I must apologise to all those people who have been waiting for new story. Its been a while since I actually managed to sit down and write anything. I simply just have been in the mood to write, and as anyone who has tried writing, espiecally erotica, it helps to be in the right mood and frame of mind. But anyway, I have started writing again, albeit at the moment editing and organsing my work in progress list. In addition, having browsed through my homepage and some of my stories, I can see there is a lot of room for improvement, and so, I shall be rebuilding the site. It will basically be the same, just more organised and neater.

Moving on, I have had a few problems with copyright infringement, nothing too serious, but I have several of my stories, under my pen name, on several sites, which I have never posted too, one even go so far to claim copyright on all the stories submitted. On the whole, as long as they link or list my homepage address, and are not a commerical website, and most importantly ask, I don't mind. Of course they didn't ask, and so I've banged a few emails off to them, but I suppose its down to good will, as I can see how I can enforce my rights.

Moving on, and a similiar note, I've noticed thay my pen-name is being used as meta or keyword, or something like that, on several websites, so that if you google Shyblueeyes1968, in addition to find sites where I use that name, you also find sites that have no connection to me. Again its not something I can do much about, but it dose worry me that some of the content gives the impression that it by Shyblueeyes1968, and at least one site I have come across, the content is about Child Abuse. So please anybody who has come across something like this in relation to the pen name Shyblues1968, unless it is on Sex Stories Post or My Myspace Page, it is unlikely to be me, espiecally if it relates to "Child Abuse".

Well 2008 almost over, Christmas is over and done with, and as with so many others, the amount of food that needs to be eaten is truely daunting...no matter how hard you try, you alway seem to get to much. Mind it was good this year, as i had one of my friends stay over, and I cooked, the weather was better, (last year it rained) so we walked and fed the swans.

I never achieved my goal of one story a month, no where near, mind, i have go through my storey list, which stands at 58 in various stages of completion, range from just a few line to on of over 6000 words and organised them, so that I know where I am with each one, and which ones to focus on. I found that I have duplicated several, and even had two of the same storey partly written.

I am afraid I am going to have to end on a moan, and as ususal it is on the subject of people messenging and adding me. No aside from those who simply just add you without asking or telling you a little bit about themselves, is people who add and or message you, but then have little or nothing to talk about, and just one back with one work ansewers etc, for example "why did you like my storey" answer: "emmm I dunno".... Whats the point!!!

OK moan over, HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2009.

I get a lot of instant messages and add request, and most go on ignore, however even when they do message me and introduce themselves, most will go on ignore. Why? Because for the vast majority of the messages, they have very little to say, and most if not all of what they ask, can be found in the ABOUT ME and FAQ page. It's not personnel, simply lack of time, I cannot chat to everybody, and I have to be selective. Why is that random strangers seem to expect that you will automatically connect with them, solely on the basis of "Yo dude, like your stories etc. and ASL ?"

OK moan over, sorry guys still not ready to post anything new, work is pretty constant at the moment, and I've been finally getting into the home cooking, which can a pain in the arse when you are single, you know, wasteful and messy, so what I do now is make my own ready meals. When cook something, I now make enough for 3 to 4 meals, eat one and freeze the others. Not only do enjoy my food more, I am actually loosing weight, so it just goes to show you how bad shop ready meals can be.

The House 2 is complete, just needs to be read through and the worst mistakes hunted down and removed. Also need to work upon some illustrations to go with the story.

Will now try to complete Trick or Treat 2 for next week.

I am currently working of the House Two, which will continue with Jill about to enter the House again, and then I am going to try and focus on sequels and second parts to my older stories, and in particular Treak or Treat and Daddy's Little Hooker, but espiecally the first one, because the story is imcomplete.

Also worked on FAQ's Page a bit more. Like I said on the 13th, I get asked the same questions quite often, so the FAQ's should cover the most common, altough, I have injected quite bit of homour into some ot them. In addition, I have squeezed in some tips and advice, not mention pointers other sources etc.

New Story Posted and First Illustrations

Hi, New story posted to day, called the House. Complete in less then 2 Days, and with some illustrations too. This story was inspired by a conversation I have had on Friday, when a lady told be about a deriliect house that she often walked past, and some of her fantasies and thoughts regard this house.

I have included several illustrations in the new story, not sure if I will illustrate all my stories, but its something I that I want to develop and build upon, but its all about coming up with the right idea for a illustration to fit the story, and sometimes i can't think of anything.

NEW STORY UPDATE

Chatting to a lovely lady this afernoon, and she suggested a story idea, that so inspired me, that I managed to write in it in one go, although I am feeling abit fuzzy around the edges at the moment. However I should have it complete by tomorrow, and on here by Saturday. Just gose to show that with the write inspiration I can in fact get my finger out. Well all I need to is get on and work on the 70+ work in progresses I have, because, in addition to the above story, I also, while chatting to three women, came up with 4 other plots for stories.

Illustrating Stories

This is something I get asked quite often, "why don't I add some pictures to my stories?" Well I have considered it in the past and rejected this for a number of reasons. Firstly its going to be hard to find the right pics, because I would not use them unless they fitted the story. Secondly copyright, I wouldn't have the permission to use them. Lastly, I use I read somewhere on ASSTR that pictures use up a lot of valuable bandwidth.

However, what I have been considering recently, is creating my own illustrations to go with some of the stories, although it's not as easy as I thought, but I am practicing and even if I decide not to illustrate some of my stories, at least I spent some time developing another skill.

NEW STORIES UPDATE

I am trying to complete a new story, honest I am. I was aiming for one a week, but to be honest, I am going to be hard put to manage one a month. It s because of two pain reasons: Time and Mood. Although often have spare time, I am find that i am not in the mood or I am too tied to write, although if i am honest, I do tend to drag my heels a little and waste time when I could be doing a couple of paragraghs. The hardest bit though is the dialogue and trying to make it sound real, and for this I have get into character a little, which is hard for me, unless i really in the mood for it. Mind when I say "get into character" thats not to say I put on a short skirt, shove ballon down my top and wear heels. What I do Is imagine the character, and then try think about how my character will act and feel in the same situation.

The other big issue is focusing on a single story. I get an idea and then sketch it out in rough for when I can work on it. The trouble is I get bored with a story, or I fancy working on a particular one. The result of this is that I have 13 completed stories, and 70+ works in progress. I find it very difficult to focus on a particualar story from start to finish, and all the while I get new ideas and suggestions.

Today for example I've talked to two women, and as a consquence I have 5 new story plots to add to my list, mind, three will be relatively short stories, so I might just be able to knock them out fairly quickly.

However, I am going to endevor to write as often as I can, now that I am building up a bit of a fan club.

Introductions - messeging etiquette

I afraid I am going to have to start off with a moan. Why is it, that despite repeated request for people not to just add me in Yahoo IM, without first introducing themselves, they still do!! All I ask is that people say something like "hi, I am Max/Sue, Age (or just 18+), etc, what they would like to chat about etc. But no, that far to complicated for some, so each day I log on, and the first thing I am faced with is 3-4 add request, with no information and nothing on thier profile. The worst culprits are men, and especially men who, because they don't believe in looking at profiles or about me pages, assume that I am a women.

The problem is, apart for people too ignorant and stupid, is that I simply do not have to time to chat to dozen of people, especially since they always ask the same question, for example, "is this story true", and that's despite the fact that I clearly state, not once, but repeatedly, that it's FICTION, which means NOT True.

However the main grip is simply that it is polite when messaging somebody for the first time to tell that person a little bit about themselves, especially if your profile is blank. I wouldn't dream of adding somebody unless I asked them first, and told them something about myself and why I am messaging them.

I like to chat, especially to woman, but I cannot chat to everybody, so I have to be selective, and to be honest talking to guys can be a bit samey, they talk and ask the same things and are interested in the same things.
