What's Coming Soon - Christmas!

Well, here it is the end of November already. I had planned to get at least one story out this month, then that nasty thing called a day job got in my way. Such is life. Once the day job settled down, I realized Christmas wasn't far off and I really wanted to work on some stories for the holiday. I also realized how unorganized I am. I've tried in the past to manage my time better and be more organized with pretty much my entire life, but I soon fall off the wagon and go back to flitting my time away. It happens. But as we near the end of 2020 (already!) I reflected back on this past year and my writing goals that I didn't reach. So I did something that, I'll confess I'm not very good at, I reached out to a friend for help. I have an awesome friend who is good at planning and organizing his time and stuff. So with his encouragement, I put together a rough plan for the remainder of the year. With Christmas coming and all that entails, it'll be a time crunch for s...

Don't Worry, I'm Still Here

I logged into this site the other day and realize I hadn’t done a blog post since August. Where did the time go? I’m sure there is a logical explanation for it, like maybe something happened in the time-space continuum, or nasty little gremlins were causing mischief in the time-line. I’m certain it was something along those lines. If that seems unbelievable then I’ll just blame this darn pandemic. After all, that’s what all the cool kids blame stuff on these days. But in reality, I guess I just got busy with other things. On September 1st I had finally had enough of letting myself go and started working out again. Only this time, I tried not to push myself so hard, so maybe I’d stick with it this time till it became a daily habit. Which is has. Here we are in mid-October and I’m still working out daily. I feel tons better overall and I have more energy and a clearer mind. But speaking of mind, also in September, I suffered a head injury. After a trip to the ER, the doctors confirmed I ...

Stuff That is Coming Soon

  I’ve gotten back in full swing of working again. Whatever sort of derailment I had back in July (probably the heat) has lifted, and I’m working on several things at the moment. So I thought I’d do a rundown of all the things I have going on that will come your way soon. New Stories First up, I found a story I’d started, I have no idea how long ago, that appeared by accident one day as I was trying to do something else (what that something else was is a story for another time) and I thought, hmm. . . I like this and this story would fit in with my Office After Hour series I started that I sort of fizzled out on. So a third story in the Office After Hours will come your way. I’m almost finished with the first draft. So far, this one is looking like it will be my longest story yet. It’s another MMF story. Getting Her Clients , my other MMF story, didn’t do as well in sales. I thought maybe MMF stories aren’t the way to go. But, I like reading those kinds of stories, and I’m having ...

No Ideas, No Problem

So my last post I talked about how it felt like my idea well had gone dry. After I wrote that post, I got to work and discovered an idea I’m jazzed about. So I’m back to work on another story. Two days after that I was sorting through some clutter and I came across the July/August 2018 issue of Writer’s Digest that featured an interview with George Saunders. I couldn't remember if I’d read that interview or not. So I took the time to read it. (This is why I never get any cleaning done.) In the interview he talked about being wary of outlines and how he tried to know as little as possible (about the story) at every step, so you’re open to the actual energy coming off the page. Well, gee, where was this advice two weeks ago when I needed it? I mean seriously, here is a guy who’s won a Man Booker Prize, and he starts out knowing as little as possible. Here I am, a producer of smut, trying to brainstorm as much as I can before I start. Yes, yes, I noticed the difference too. I’m not o...

Procrastination Came by for a Visit

This is me in the hot weather! I’ve been slacking. I think part of it is the hot weather; I don’t do well in a heat wave. At least that is the excuse I’m using right now. First off, I want to give a big thank you to everyone who read “Her Holiday Fireworks.” I hope you enjoyed it. It did better than I thought it would. That story was a spur-of-the-moment thing. Seriously, one day I thought, I should do a Forth of July story, got an idea and Bam! I was off writing. I’d cut it really close to get it out before the holiday, but I did it. Of course, while I wrote it, a million other things needed my attention. After I published the story, I thought I’ll just take the holiday weekend off. After that, other commitments reared their ugly heads. Then I was like, okay, I need to start another story. I’d sit down at the computer and type something. Delete it. Try again. Then I thought, well, where am I going? Am I going to write the other two stories in “The Office After Hours” that I was planni...

Have a Happy Independence Day Weekend!

I hope everyone has a safe a happy Independence Day this year! I know for many of us the celebration is going to be different due to the pandemic. So please remember to keep social distancing and please wear your masks. We're all in this together. So stay safe and have a Happy 4th of July! And don't forget if you need some extra fireworks, to pick up a copy of Her Holiday Fireworks from Amazon! (Yep, that's me making a shameless plug for my story ;-)

New Release - Her Holiday Fireworks

Greetings sexy readers, Zetta has a new steamy tale for you today! And just in time for the holiday weekend here in the U.S. The Fourth of July is always a fun holiday. Picnics, cookouts, spending time with loved ones and ending it with a fireworks display in the evening. I have some truly great memories of Independence Days past. Sadly, with the pandemic going on, most fireworks displays have been cancelled. Those of us wanting to keep loved ones safe, will not have picnics, cookouts or any of the other festivities this year. It is sad for sure, but I'm confident that this too shall pass, it'll just take awhile. In the meantime, why not read a sexy hot Fourth of July holiday story! Her Holiday Fireworks is ready for your steamy enjoyment! So get ready for a big hot dog and some fireworks (he!he! Sorry I just can't resist saying that). WILL THEY GET FIREWORKS THIS FOURTH OF JULY OR JUST ANOTHER DUD? Lindsey I hated working holidays. I wanted to be out having a good time wit...
