I should really come up with more interesting things to say on this blog, I think.

I finished all of the minor edits today on the book and now all I have is a couple of scenes to write and then I will send it off to the wonderful people that have offered to give it a read over for me. When they get finished and I am sure it is up to par, off the the presses. Well, actually, it will be off to the computer where I can upload it, but you get the idea. =D

Other than that it has been a pretty uneventful day. I did find out that I have a bunch of computer games that I had forgotten about when I decided to give this writing thing a go full time and sat up until three this morning playing them. I am such a child, I know, but sometimes it does a soul good to get away from the real world for a while. Video games are my past time, what's yours?

Until next time faithful readers,
Thank you,

Tomorrow...

..... is going to be a very busy day, I think. I am going to be working very hard on getting this book finished and ready for you, dear readers. I will be balancing that with the interview with the great writer I was telling you all about. Whew! Even on my days off, I don't get a day off.

I have commissioned a few volunteers to read my new book and give me their perspectives on it. I hope that their contributions will be what I am looking for. It is actually a sweet deal for all involved. They get a free advance copy of my book and I get free reviews. Nice, huh?

The weekend is getting closer and it seems as though the days are dragging by. I am so incredibly excited and anxious to see Misu that I could explode right about now. I have a few plans for her and I think we will be able to get some things (mostly my hangups) resolved. We will see.

Until next time dear, faithful readers,
Thank you for your patience and encouragement.

I promise...

To have my book out by the end of July. I finally got it back from the editor and I have the entire day off Wednesday so I will be working my tail off to get it to you guys. I have read over the edits and and very pleased with the work he does and even more pleased at the ideas he has contributed to the book. So i am making a pledge to you, dear readers: The end of July or I will give it to you for free.

In other news, I am really settling into my new job. I am learning a lot and making very few mistakes. I like my boss and the people I work with and enjoy my job very much.

The weekend is coming ad you all know what that means. MISU!!!! Yes, I will be spending more time with my sweet, beautiful Misu and will have her all to myself. What does that mean for all of you? Unfortunately, it means that I will be posting very little here, if anything at all, and that I will not be working on any new stories unless inspiration absolutely clobbers me on the head.

So until next time, dear, faithful readers; Thank you!
You faithful entertainer,

It's so close

I know I have been teasing you guys relentlessly about the release of my first book but I promise it isn't far away. In the mean time, I have contacted a great author and we are in the final stages of putting our heads together for the Q&A swaps. I will have his interview done and posted by the end of the week.

The non-smoking is going better than I thought it would. I figured by now that I would have gone on a rampage but I am still pretty calm. It helps to have a support system like Misu. One more positive influence she is making on my life.

This is going to be really short because I have a major headache and the glow of the screen is only serving to enhance my pain. So, until next time,

Thank you dear, faithful readers;
Your grateful entertainer,

The first day...

of the rest of my life starts today. I have talked to Misu and I am going to work my ass off to accomplish, not one, but two amazing feats. I have been cheating with my smoking and, starting today, I am quitting, even if it kills me (irony?). I haven't had one all day and I have fought temptation tooth and nail, trust me. My mom smokes, so it is very difficult to say no when she is so willing to share her cancer with me.

I am also starting a very strict diet which Misu is helping me with as well. 1500 calories a day. Am I crazy you ask? Yes, a little. I am also determined not to die like so many others have, painfully. It is going to be hard and I know that it would probably be better to try to quit one then the other but I am a fucking lunatic and a masochist so I am going to attempt both at the same time.

In other news, I am in talks with a very good writer about swapping Q&A's. What that means, for those who do not know, is that I will be sending him a list of interview questions and he will answer them and send them, along with his own, back to me. Then we will post them to our respective social networking sites and blogs (like this one)  so that our fans (you guys) can get a better idea of who we are. Sound good to you guys? So look for that.

If any of you guys have any questions that you want me to answer, please send me an email. I love hearing from you.

Until next time dear, faithful readers:
Thank you,

Finishing touches

Well, I have sent my book off to my editor because, after someone very important to me said that it was actually really good, I decided that the side of me that is a perfectionist was the same side that was interfering with the progress of release. So I decided to go ahead and try to release it by the end of the week. I know that I keep saying this and things seem to keep getting in the way but I really think it is time. I just want it to be perfect for you guys and sometimes I may make hasty decisions based on my own insecurities. Fear not, faithful readers, for soon you will get it. i have set my deadline for the end of the week and I mean to keep it this time.

In other news, Misu is coming into town to see me today so I am so excited I could have an aneurism. I have found that after many years of feeling numb and emotionless, I actually do still have the ability to care for someone on a deeper level and to love someone other than myself (which I haven't really been able to do either). She has broken down the barriers that all of the others have built around my heart and for that, I thank her.

Until next time dear faithful readers...

Just a bit longer.

So I have decided to put a hold on the book for a bit. I finished it and read it a few times only to be disappointed in what I had put down on paper. I know I said that it would be out today but unfortunately I cannot do that to you dear faithful readers. I must insist that I put out quality work for you or give up my dream of becoming anything more than just a penman.

So I am letting a few people read over it in an attempt to better it and get it ready for your consumption. I have a few friends that are kind enough to do this for me and they will be mentioned for it. Fear not dear readers, it is coming and I promise that I will be better than it is right now.

In other news. the new job is going well and I am extremely happy with it. I get to see some pretty crazy things in my job and I am sure that you guys will hear about a few of them in future, non-erotic books. Like this:
I work in a place that sells furniture and today my boss was almost crushed by a ton of mattresses. It... was... hilarious. A lady pushed them out of her way and they fell over onto him, nearly squishing him.

See? Well, I thought it was funnier and I am sure that when I put my spin on it, you will as well.

Until next time readers,
Thank you,

What a week!

Well this has been a week, huh? I got a new job, I finished my book (which I will be uploading tomorrow, I hope), and wrote a new little short for you guys. It has been quite enjoyable. I have a lot of stuff going on right now, Misu has upped the ante  and given me more rules and what Misu wants, Misu gets as far as I am concerned. So I disn't get a chance to post yesterday. I was really tired due to the fact that I hadn't been getting much sleep the two nights before and I really hadn't done anything for you guys to be interested in anyway, so I took a break from this blog. Don't worry, it won't happen often.

The new short is called "Going Down?" and it is a nice little treat for any woman who wants to dominate a man and an especially savory treat for guys who, like I, LOVE being dominated by a strong, powerful woman. Yes, it is the very source of my arousal, for the most part. I love it when... well, never mind. Just read my story. It's free anyways. Get it on my smashwords page and keep reading my blog dear readers because when Ishmael comes out tomorrow, I will have a special treat for you guys, trust me. I might even give it to you for free, if you are nice.

Until next time, faithful readers...

Seriously?

I feel the need to address something (No Misu, not that) and since it is the only real outlet I have, I chose to do it here. I write erotic fiction. Call it trash, smut, porn (different category btw), whatever you want. I write about the thing that people think about more than anything else. So why, then, do you feel the need to talk down to me and say that I am less of a writer because of the genre I choose? Writing erotic fiction is no easier than writing any other type of fiction. There are still plot twists, characters, settings, dilemmas, etc., all of which have to be creative or else you will lose any chance of gaining/keeping your reader's attention.

We, as humans, think about sex all the time. It is in our nature. Why do we feel the need to hide our sexuality under a rock and not allow anyone to see it or even know that it exists? Why are we ashamed of the bodies that whatever god you choose to believe in gave us? Why are we ashamed of the most beautiful thing on earth, sexual intercourse? Why must be confined to only one partner? If that is your preference, then more power to you. In my opinion, however, one woman cannot give one man everything he needs, nor can the opposite be achieved. Some of are not happy settling for one person. Some of us need to be completely fulfilled.

There are so many questions and so few answers. I would love to hear all of your thoughts on these subjects.

For now, though, that is all.

Until next time dear readers, thank you for your continued support.
John aka Misu's Puppy.
