Just did the quarterly track of all my statistics at Literotica, and it was very smile-inducing.  Lots more details about this in a post on the forum.  Shouldn’t be hard to find *laugh*

Writing on SOTM Ch. 18 right now.  I haven’t been wasting the time when I wasn’t writing on it.  There’s never a day goes by when I’m not musing the story, even if words aren’t going down.  Every day coalesces a bit more of the story, and one of these days, I’m going to hit a point where everything is so structured in my head that only time to write is really going to get in my way.

Musing Lowborn as well.  I’m shifting a bit from my original idea, because I found a different direction to go for a more solid ending.  I’ll have to rewrite a bit of what I’ve already put down on Ch. 08, but it shouldn’t take too much when I get back to it.

As always, musing over what the next Wood story will be, concentrating on Earth Day.

Many more things in the works in my known names and my third name.  Just a matter of when they come together, get written, and get released.

Planning to bite the bullet soon and do some upgrades on the backend of the site.  That’s really all that’s kept me from moving forward with new content.  I knew this update was coming, and I wanted to wait until I’d put it in place and figured out any changes before I started coding the new parts of the site.

Lots of new registrations on the website, so Welcome!  And that doesn’t even count the mountains of Russian spam accounts I’ve banned/deleted as fast as they sign up *laugh*  Sites like “Stop Forum Spam” are great.  Every time someone signs up, I check the IP and email address.  If it comes up with several hits on those sites, I don’t even wait for them to start spamming.  I just ban them right out of the gate.

I can tell it’s beginning to irritate them, too.  I keep seeing some of the validating accounts viewing the site under a range of IPs.  Little do they know that I’m tracking those, and as soon as I see a sign-up…   BAN HAMMER!

Then, once I’ve found a problem IP range or email domain, I just ban the whole range and delete all the spam accounts associated with them.  Hope I don’t have any actual fans in Russia.  The odds of them being able to get onto the site thanks to those spammers is slim to none thanks to all the IP ranges and email domains I’ve banned.

Time for a little break, then a bit more of SOTM 18, and then off to bed.  Back to writing tomorrow… Probably even a little bit in the morning before I head off to work.
