With that out of the way, I’m going to flip through all the stories in progress and see which one is singing to me the loudest.
( So long as my young one doesn’t start shouting my muse down. He’s been fairly quiet, but that can change in an instant *laugh* )
Just did a few blog security updates. From my end, everything looks and functions properly after the changes. I was getting almost daily brute force attacks, so I did some additional security tightening, even though none of the attempts had managed to get through the measures already in place.
Make sure you remember your password, if you do have a username for the blog for some reason
( No real need for it, just post using your email and you don’t need to sign up. Website login doesn’t carry over to the blog — it’s separate )
Reason being that I’ve locked down login attempts to 1 retry before a fifteen minute lockout. A second lockout results in a 24 hour lockout.
If they want to keep trying what they’ve been up to, they’re going to have to do it very, very, slowly ( and I’ll probably ban their IP after a couple of attempts anyway )
Still struggling to find the energy to write. I’m just in one of those slumps again. There’s not really much I can do about it when one hits other than muse on stories and wait for one to grab hold of me so hard that it jump-starts me.
Had to get some things done around the house, and honestly, I needed some downtime. Lowborn keeps frustrating me, trying to wrap it up. On the last chapter, and I can’t get the damn thing to come together. Grrr…
I did get a little writing done on “Jackin’ Jill” Only a couple of scenes left in this chapter — 3 of 5.
With luck, stepping away for a day or two will help. If I’m still frustrated tomorrow, I’ll jump into that second Web Exclusive Devan story. That’s easy, and will both get me writing, and put me mentally in the same world as Lowborn and SOTM.
Just got this in email feedback:

Your story to a point was doing and progressing fine, then it abruptly fell apart. What caused the change, your use of the wrong spelling form of a word for the situation being discribed. Its the use of “come” when properly is should have been “cum” when referring to semen or an orgasm; minor true but has great impact on quality of a story.
Uhm… No.

slang to have an orgasm
“Come” is the word that was in use long before me. In fact, the same definition will point out that semen also shares this word, though I prefer “cum” for the noun.
The modern version of “cum” is just too problematic with respect to climax. Sorry, but “cummed” is just too 13-year-old text messaging for my taste, and “cumming” isn’t much better.
I get this message every so often, and it always makes me roll my eyes. If it was a suggestion of a preferred spelling in the commentator’s opinion, I wouldn’t have a problem. I can certainly respect that and see where they’re coming from.
( Pardon the pun *laugh* )
There’s something to be said for a different spelling that singles out the orgasmic version of come from its vanilla cousin.
However, it’s always someone trying to tell me that I’m wrong, when all it takes is a look at a dictionary — any dictionary — to see otherwise.
My preferred version of the word is every bit as legitimate — if not more so — and has a far longer history than yours, so there! *laugh*
Had someone in the Russian Federation try to brute-force into the website today. As it turns out, the attack was a complete waste. One of the anti-spam measures installed on the website prevented them from seeing anything except an access denied message on the hundred or so attempts to generate my password and hack into the site.
Even if they had generated my password, it still wouldn’t have gone through, because they were blocked prior to the code that would have let them in even processed.
Doubt that the coders of the anti-spam scripts had it in mind, but here’s a big thumbs up to them anyway 🙂
