This is actually a mini 12 week challenge update interspersed with random thoughts I’ve been having.
I’ve started reading one of my stories that needs editing and here has been my thought process so far:
“Why do I keep procrastinating and not reading this like I promised I would?”
“Hm, this isn’t that bad. I’m not cringing as I read so definite improvement.”
“Why can’t I have the sex that I write about?”
“Writing about blowjobs. Why can’t I make money doing this?”
“Is it productive to read a story naked?”
Yeah, I have attention deficit when it comes down to it. I’ve only managed to read a third of the story, but it’s not too bad from a totally objective standpoint. In the midst of my procrastination, I did manage to print out another story I’d like to edit. I’m looking up articles that will hopefully help me to find an effective method for tackling the actual editing process. I’ll report in on Friday.
Random thought of the day? Traveling with a vibrator.
I’m going through the extreme packing process and had to figure out what needed trashed and what I could ship, put in the suitcase, or leave. I eyed my toys for a long time. I’d had to start over if I tossed everything, but the thought of TSA discovering a suitcase full of my play things might be a little weird. What would that little note look like?
You’re bag was inspected by TSA. Have you considered the cherry flavored lube?
That’s embarrassing.
Another thought (totally unrelated). Does confidence in your work translate to the reader? I’ve been working on my confidence/presentation of my writing. Trying to believe in myself and letting that shine through in what I showcase. Does any of that come through? Just something I’ve been thinking about.
While I go back to reading, you imagine my pink vibrator in action. 😉

Imagining as we speak! Oh, my!

LOL. Yea, that’s it exactly.
Haha, I hear it humming now.

Lol.
Imagining… and that thought about reading naked was fun too 😉
Good luck with the writing and editing

I thought all day about doing it all day – reading naked. I didn’t, by the way. It should be a common practice of mine.
I’ve done that many times. Thought all day long about doing something naked and then never took the opportunity. At the end of the day I’m disappointed that I didn’t and also likely missed out on some self love. It’s hard to be naked and not do anything about it… So maybe it’s too distracting?
Author
Good point, but I was clothed and still distracted. At least I would’ve gotten some pleasure if I would’ve stripped. Besides its national masturbation month and I would help myself regardless.
Maybe it’s better to first indulge the distraction and (temporarily) remove it?
I forgot about the month until today. I’ve a post on the subject tomorrow, mixed with metaphor of course. I had plans to make a daily celebration out of the month, but due being busy with other things I’m now several days behind. Sigh.

Lots to make up for. Get to work, sir. Lol
Aye, aye!
I imagine whatever you write about, intently, comes through as you choose. I can only imagine that you are – anything ( excited, procrastinating, secure ) if you admit it – or describe it for me, the reader. Good Luck – you seem to be doing it! I don’t get why you question it – because you’re doing it. But, thats from my perspective. Jayne

I question everything I do. I can’t seem to help it and it stems from not really understanding myself. Here I was just curious. I’ve stopped explaining my stories and the response has improved, but I didn’t know if they read better or the reader wasn’t distracted by my nattering. I have moments of serious crisis when it comes to this thing I’m trying to do. If I didn’t need to express myself so badly, I’d give this up. So it was simple curiosity that made me wonder.
Vibrators and airports.
Don’t be afraid to pack everything. Regard the inspection team as doctors – they have seen it all. They also wear surgical rubber gloves…
I recently flew with five (5) full size new and boxed rabbits and a couple of small vibes. Nothing was looked at directly – I had arranged things so that I could tell if the case was opened.
However, I am careful how I pack.
NO batteries in toys or the case – they will be removed at inspection and left in the case. You will KNOW they have been there!.
I do not pack any electronics or chargers etc with toys. These can arouse security interest so I put them and the batteries in with my carry-on or laptop, not the main bag.
I also put lube in plastic bags in case it leaks. Leave it right on top in case they want to check the liquids. ‘Big’ lube has to go as checked baggage..
If you have the toys in a carry-on bag and you get pulled for inspection, tell them the contents are embarrassing for yourself and others. Ask to be checked out of view.
Enjoy:-)

I can be a prude sometimes, but I’m not leaving my toys behind. I’d planned on removing batteries from powered ones and packing them strategically.
Oh, I so want to know why you were traveling with all those vibrators. You make me so curious about you. Very curious.
Good advice from Nick.
And if TSA ever enquire about the toys (but they won’t) just tell them you’re a writer and were given them to review for your sex blog.
Author
That’s an excellent reply. Thanks.
Thanks for that last image… I think! If you are having such a hard time editing your work, maybe it doesn’t need as much editing as you think. Don’t edit it to death, just tweak where needed. I’m sure you didn’t write so badly to begin with that you need to take a sledgehammer to it!
Author
I’m just not good at knowing innately what to change. I’m trying to read it in a way to determine what’s worth change. I’ve had people read it and like it, but I’m not sure what I need to do for it.
I can just imagine you at the airport as security ask “are you travelling for business or pleasure” and then open your bag… “pleasure” is the only answer you can give. With a wink

Ahahaha. This made my afternoon.
Author
Ahaha. That thing has been buzzing a lot this week already.

It’s okay. Life is busy.
You got alot of vibrators? Have you used the egg, bullet, rabbit and magic wand before?
