I've read other James Scott Bell guides, but just discovered this one from 2023.

Highly practical little notes on fiction writing he's collected for himself over the years. Recommended.

The @literotica.com Halloween story contest is approaching! I'll either write about a haunted brothel or haunted underwear👻

My very first Halloween story had 3 friends summon a demon by accident. "Damn Dumb Demon" was unpolished but kinda fun.

#ShamelessSelfPromotion day yet? Screw it. We who write for free can self-promote whenever we want. For the greater good 😁

While I'm finishing my @literotica.com Summer Lovin' story, read 2024's fun contribution: Skinny Dipping with the Bad Girl

This 2022 cozy group sex summer story has a 4.84 rating on @literotica.com and I don't understand why.

Well since folks like it, I'll do a #ShamelessSelfPromotion while struggling with this year's summer story.

Is it Shameless Self-promotion Friday? It's not? Oh well.

Been working on a story for the @literotica.com Summer Lovin' contest and want to recapture the easygoing summer tone of this hit from 2021.

Not so easy to do in 2025, but I'm trying. #ImWriting

I've got #Scrivener, #ProWritingAid, voice-to-text, and every other tool any writer could ask for.

My latest story on @literotica.com delves into modern witchcraft, beekeeping and fudge, things I knew nothing about and had to research to death.

What oddball things have you researched to write a story? I thought about what I've learned. Here's a partial list: 🙂

#Writing #WriteWhatYouKnow
A list of topics researched for stories: Laryngitis Gypsum processing Swiss culture and food Summoning demons Jewelry-making Living homeless Compersion Moose mating habits Lebanese culture Everything about twins Lobster suppers in tourist towns Hypothermia Dissociative identity disorder Parrots The banjo and famous banjo artists The Seven Deadly Sins Hippie culture and lingo Old and new methods of stealing cars Chainsaw mills How to clean fish

For the first time ever, I got a story submitted in time for the #Literotica Nude Day Contest.

Free on @literotica.com: "Bee Witched"

literotica.com/s/bee-witched

It's about a witch. Who is also a beekeeper.

No, I won't apologize for the awful awful title 🙂

By the way, I don't do a podcast, but I have a blog where I discuss writing and have "behind the story" articles for each story I've written.

Here's the Behind the Story for The Waif and The Wall: syleussnow.wordpress.com/2018/04/22/t...

"The Great Gatsby" published 100 years ago today:

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."
Cover of The Great Gatsby - which is painting Celestial Eyes by Francis Cugata. A female face of a flapper with poorly delineated contours, of which are seen only the eyes and mouth, suspended above the night sky of a city, evoking the Coney Island amusement park in New York. Inside the irises there are female nude figures and a green tint in correspondence of the right eye resembling a tear

Pretty much anything by Electric Light Orchestra
The image shows the album cover for Electric Light Orchestra's "Out of the Blue." A vibrant, futuristic spaceship dominates the scene, featuring a circular design with colorful red, yellow, and blue segments. At its center is the band's logo, "ELO," standing out prominently. A smaller spacecraft is depicted docking at the base of the larger structure. The album's title and band name are displayed in stylish gold text in the upper right corner.

Is there anything better than when a story hits home with a reader?
Got this comment today on Skinny Dipping with the Bad Girl
literotica.com/s/skinny-dip...
Comment by an anonymous reader that says "I've read hundreds of stories on Literotica, most are very good. However, this one is my favorite. You have managed to describe young love and a deep emotional connection between these characters. That is one thing that makes this story powerful. You have added mystery, humor, and danger into a nice compact story. This is my fourth reading. Every couple of months I circle back to refresh my faith in abiding love between two people and so thankful that I have such love with my spouse."
