1. What first inspired you to write this particular story?
It was mostly a bolt out of the blue. A woman who has had a bad day and then meets a good-looking guy who relieves her tension.
I also like when woman are sassy to men, so that's why Zoe is giving Blaze so much ribbing throughout.
2. How did you come up with these characters?
I wanted a male character who is sensitive to a woman's needs and a woman who was coming into the situation disappointed in everyone. I think about single mothers a lot - how much work it must be, how courageous they are.
3. How does it differ from some of your other stories?
First story to feature a Western theme.
4. What was the most challenging thing about writing this piece?
Honestly, the oral sex scene wrote itself. But then I added the foreplay items that seemed like fun. The hardest part was their first meeting in the dusty road.
5. Anything else you want to tell us about it?
Writing these stories makes me really happy. I'm enjoying interacting with folks on this platform! I realize my stories are a bit longer than most of them here, but I appreciate folks who take the time to read them! I think it just takes me longer to pull the story together.
1. What first inspired you to write this particular story?
I'll try not to get too specific lest I out myself if someone happens upon this. I got involved in an RP server related to a specific property, which had a small NSFW section. I found I actually enjoyed engaging in the NSFW roleplays there and decided to explore writing a separate story. My initial idea was a different, much larger story and then I decided to do a smaller, introductory prequel to help both establish the characters as well as get me into the groove of writing something like this before starting on something a bit bigger. This story is the reason I joined this site in the first place because I was trying to find a place where I could post it.
2. How did you come up with these characters?
I just got images of people in my head and started to flesh them out in a Google doc. What was their backstory? Their motivations? How could I explain the premise of the story in a way that I felt was believable? I never liked stories that just started in on the action without at least some plausible explanation for the character's behavior, so trying to figure that out was important.
3. How does it differ from some of your other stories?
The main difference is that I started it quite a while ago - two years or so now, I think? It was my first foray into an independent erotic work, and so it took me a lot of time to get the feel for it. I would lose motivation to write it for a while and then come back to it later. My other stories were just other things that came to mind over time. I suppose I decided to write and release them first because I always saw this story as my biggest, most important baby, although I feel like the other series I've started are probably on about equal stature with it in my mind at this point. Going through the final edits certainly showed me how far my writing had come between the first couple of drafts and today.
4. What was the most challenging thing about writing this piece?
Just getting started on it. Trying to write something that I felt was long enough to make it worth it. I would say it is different than a lot of the stories that get posted here in the sense that the "action" doesn't start until maybe 2/3 of the way through a story that will probably get posted here in four parts (so in part 3). That is partly a reflection of the fact that I started writing it before joining here, but also that the main character involved has a slow and gradual journey to her awakening at the end of the story. It's not meant to just be a serialized thing where the main character fucks someone new in every installment. I hope people appreciate the slow build in the end.
5. Anything else you want to tell us about it?
As I said, it is a single story in 12 shorter chapters—likely released three chapters at a time. But more than that, it is meant as a prelude to the story I actually wanted to write in the first place, which I haven't even started but I have been kicking around in my head for a long time. I even have an idea for a follow-up story after that, but it is far less fleshed out in my head.
