Spent the 4th binge-watching Bosch and keeping an eye on the pups. Not a bad evening.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

He said he knows now he's never going to get rich off it, but he's making his way from writing short stories to more novellas, and feels like he's getting better at it, and is enjoying himself.
I don't know about getting rich, but an online friend of mine made $35K a couple of years ago, doing that. Paid for her grad program. It's apparently very by the numbers, but if you put out content on a regular schedule, if it's even okay quality, you get a lot of people dropping $3.99 a hit on you. If I had any interest, I'd give it a try for kicks, but I'm crap at writing erotica.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hm. I'm actually good at writing erotica. I should look into this.

I am now envisioning you all becoming characters on Questionable Content. Please make this happen.

we also discussed bizarro things like shifters (he thought it would be hilarious to write a were-buffalo)
Yeah, this sounds similar to the things I'm hearing from fannish friends doing this. I'm not surprised there's a market for it, but I do find it cool that a straight dude is writing it and having fun. If I actually could get myself writing again I'd consider giving it a whirl.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Your firefighter sounds like a Marty Stu. Did he have violet eyes by any chance?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Heh, I could pull an EL James and swap out names on my fanfic....

Oh, man, I could totally do that. Most of my fanfic was never even published anywhere. Where do we go for information on how to do this?

Have mowed the lawn. Decided to mow around the salsify this time, which I think looks okay but my neighbors will probably not be happy about.
Really need to eat lunch before I take on anything else...oh, right, I have lamb and cauliflower! Sweet.

Hah, total Marty Stu. Except if he were, I'd have fallen for him, right? Instead I was mooning over our hostess.
