Four more days till my daughter's wedding! She's only been engaged since 2017! LOL.

I’m currently actively working on three stories: one for the clean site, a new Mac and Grace episode, and a longer story to expand upon my new micro, Another Man’s Wife.

A true micro for you:

Another Man’s Wife

Quote by ebonysummer

Hey y’all. Healthy bike rides and yummy sweets and pie and coffee! It’s almost mid afternoon here and I totally missed the morning. Ah well such is the life of a working girl. That didn’t sound right. I’m not a “working girl”, I’m a girl who works. I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea 🤭

No one would think our sweet Summer was the other kind of working girl! 😘
I'm just stopping in for something cold and a wave. Had a great time in Grand Bend with Sis and her fam this past weekend. (Left only footprints, Mr. Ape!).

Much to do before we head up to Michigan on Wed. Last-minute preparations are underway for our daughter's wedding! I remembered last minute I didn't have a suitable purse for the wedding. Bless you Amazon Prime!

Hope all is well. I'll do my best to catch up next week after the wedding! 😎

Ontario awaits you but please leave things the way your found them and pack out all your trash.😁

Always! My Dad’s side of the family is from Ontario. Still feels like home when I visit.

Drapes a blanket over the exhausted Kimmi!

I'm ready to board my plane. Excited to spend time with family in Ontario!

Hope all y'all have a great weekend!😘

It Ends With Us

I've published a short little piece in the cheating category: Under The Doctor's Desk.

I'm working on the rewrites for the next few parts of Boardrooms and Boudoirs (Mac & Grace) since I took the story in a different direction than originally planned.

Stopping in for a Coke Zero while I finish packing. My dentist appointment had good new and bad news. The good news was NO Cavities. The bad news is I need about $1700 (after insurance) of other dental work done. Getting old sucks!

I'm heading to Bunco tonight and then to the airport. I'm looking forward to a weekend of cooler weather.

Have you ever fantasized about having a naughty little slut under your desk? Have I got a story for you!

Sadly, the weather in this neck of the woods isn't looking great for the weekend right now. But maybe that will improve by the time we get there. Environment Canada isn't exactly batting 1000 this year.

Good morning! Red Rose and one of those berry things.

Its been so incredibly hot and humid in Florida that I'm sort of looking forward to 71 F and chance of rain. We will be in the Grand Bend area. It was one of my favorite places to go as a teen. Then my sister bought a house there years later. Her hubby tried to convince us to buy one near them. But I’m a Florida girl. Even when I bitch about the heat.

Congrats, JAGYK! Well deserved. 😎

Boardrooms & Boudoirs - Part Three -Chapters 9-12

After a long wait to accommodate some necessary rewrites, part 3 of Mac & Grace’s new story is now available to read. Thanks!

Just popping in to say hello before I head to the gym. 👋🏼😊

Gearing up for a fun weekend in Canada with sis and part of her fam. Then the following week I will be in Michigan for the oldest’s wedding and have all my kids in one place again. That is a rarity, but it’s the second time in 3 months that I have had that luxury this year.

Have a great day all y’all! 😘

Pickleball starts up again today. Not sure if my arm is completely healed from a muscle strain so I’m on the fence about going. I have a half hour to decide.

Been binge watching “Stranger Things” recently and finally made it to start episode one of season 4. Didn’t finish it but I had to start it, otherwise the last episode of season 3 would have caused nightmares.

I’m hoping to submit the third part of the 4th Mac and Grace Novel today. I have some time after I take my brother swimming, so fingers crossed.

Hope the week is starting off well for all y’all. Will be getting things ready to go up to visit my sister this weekend. She’s near Grand Bend Ontario. Excited for our visit.

😎🥰

CONGRATULATIONS!! what a wonderful time. You are going to be busy busy but I bet you are so happy for them both.

(please don’t tell my mom. I feel enough pressure already lol)

Cheers to the mother of the bride. 🥂

Thanks, Summer! Every mama just wants their kids to be happy and I feel good about the fact that they all found mates that suit them. But I won't tell your mom! Promise!

A Coke Zero is what I need right now. My body's habit of waking around 3 am and struggling to fall back asleep is making me a tired Kat in the afternoons.

Bear in mind you're currently the site's most prolific/popular author, so you could probably write something in hieroglyphics on the back of the bin sheds and people would come looking for it.

Ooh, maybe you're the Banksy of Lush, lol.

If it wouldn’t seem narcissistic, I would change my rank to Banksy of Lush. Lol. You’re exaggerating, of course, but thanks for the pat on the back. 😘🥰

My youngest daughter got engaged this weekend! We are all over the moon. Three years ago this month her ex broke her heart and her spirit. It was an ugly split that cost her a good chunk of change to buy him out of her house. She had devoted 6 years to that relationship and was sure she would never fall in love or be happy again. But she developed a crush on a cute guy at work and the rest is history. She is so happy, as we all are.

So, in less than two weeks the older daughter will get married and her little sister will tie the knot next year. I’m just glad we started saving money for these weddings when they were little. LOL.

So drinks are on me today. And I actually mean on my tab not Bear’s. 🤣🤣🐻‍❄️

Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know

Another thought for the novels section would be to turn the 10K limit from a maximum to a minimum for that category, and allow stories to stretch out as long as they need to go (sort of like how minimum word limits are ignored for micros). This seems like a good way to bring misery and suffering to the story mods who have to read through and review these things.

Readers won’t commit to more than 10K at a time. I should know…my attention span is short.

Micro word limits aren’t ignored. The word counter you see is different from the word counter mods see.

I just don’t see the need to eliminate a category that has more pages of stories than many of the other genres. If writers choose to put their stories there and don’t feel like they are getting enough attention, they can change their genre. But, personally, I’ve been happy with my feedback on Mac and Grace stories. If something isn’t broken, why are we trying to fix it? Eliminate it as a requirement for Omnium if it’s such a big deal. But many writers write multi-part stories with only a few parts to satisfy checking off that box. I don’t see this as an issue.

We will be heading up to Canada next weekend to visit my sister and her husband. I’m looking forward to seeing them and enjoying some cooler weather. We have had heat advisories nearly every day. But then again, it’s August in Florida. Typical weather for this time of year. Had some friends over last night and couldn’t sit outside because the humidity was so high. 😳

It’s already 85 F and feels like 96 F because the humidity is 80% at not quite 8 am.

So I will grab an icy cold Coke Zero as my caffeine this morning.

Hope the weekend brings y’all some fun. 😘

I was thinking more about getting on the vaulter's pole.😁

I was thinking about the same thing.

Nothing like having the whole world talking about your junk, huh? I'd say poor guy, but he's got a generous package and is probably doing just fine.

Two weeks from tomorrow, my oldest daughter gets married! As far as I know, everything is ready. I just have to figure out which of the two dresses that I bought looks/feels better. I have shoes to match both just in case.

I'm working on the next part of Boardrooms & Boudoirs. Catching a movie later with my hubby and brother. It's a good day.

😎

Or are you saying that each chapter is such a medley of kinks and storylines that to classify each would confuse or mislead readers?

This ⬆️

At least in some instances.

I have teeny request. Can there be some avocado toast please? Toasted sourdough bread, mash the avocado with lemon juice with a little salt and pepper, spread it on the toast and drizzle on a little olive oil. Thank you very much!

Oh and hazelnut creamer for the coffee. Am I being too high maintenance?

You like what you like! And though I will never understand liking avocado toast, I am sure we can stock that here since you’re a regular now. 😘😘

Just a tea for me. Done with my gym workout and heading to the pool in a bit.

I have a new micro out. I will drop the link in my forum address below. 😘

Thanks for sharing your opinion, WW. From my perspective, it chops things up. My novels are meant to be read as parts of a larger story and in the order which I’ve written them. I have other series that are broken up over different genres (Hot Wife Hotel, for example), where continuity isn’t an issue and having each part in its own specific genre makes sense. But the novels are complete stories. If I were to put a set of chapters into Spanking, it might suggest that it’s all about that. But the Mac and Grace stories contain a mix of so many different genres, I’d have to really dig deep to start reclassifying each part of the three existing books and the beginning of book four.

If people don’t want to write in this category, I totally get it. But I am just curious as to why the category can’t remain as is for those authors who prefer it. Drop it as a required genre for Omnium if it’s an issue, but leave it as an existing category for those of us for whom reclassifying seems unnecessary and a bit of a cluster-bleep in changing the genre for what amounts to about 100+ stories.

Congratulations! That is no easy feat! You have every right to be thrilled!

I am currently working on my fourth "novel" for Lush. That said, I understand that some folks don't want to write longer stories here. I always felt that doing so helped the challenge of earning the Omnium Badge be just a little more challenging (as it should be).

The comment about people still keeping their Omnium Badge seemed unnecessary. You're talking about eliminating a category, not adding one. So, it shouldn't affect that (except for some possible grumbling from authors who fulfilled the criteria for this category).

I voted to keep it, but I definitely understand the comments others have made as to why they voted otherwise. Personally, changing the categories seems like a lot of work, especially since changing the category requires mod reapproval, if I'm not mistaken.

In the past hour, a few authors have reached out to me for help. And I didn't even know this was being considered. 😳

I've asked them to wait until a decision is made, and then I will be happy to assist them.

A fun little two-parter has been published this week. Jenna's First Time as a Hot Wife, and with a black man. Both parts are nice and short! Enjoy!
