Noah is coming along. I'm about a quarter through... maybe a third. I try to do 20-25 pages per Noah chapter. Emerson and Lincoln series were shorter, max 18 pages usually. Kasper is always the longest. He needs 25-30 pages, but there's a lot of dialogue so that's kind of cheating. It stretches it out. It's weird how each series has its own flow like that. If I tried to write a 25 page Emerson chapter it just wouldn't work. But come to think of it, Emerson signs since he's deaf so there's a lot less short dialogue, it's more packed in. Interesting! I never thought about that until right now. I always just wondered why Emerson wrapped up so much shorter. I think Lincoln is shorter because I try to make him as straight dude as possible and that's out of my realm. I'm a quiet, shy, femme boy and I'm ok with that. My man is too... or I guess fiancee I can say now. What a journey. Two years ago I never would have thought it would go this long and we'd be heading to something legal and stuff. Wow. Oh ok so this is funny! I've had three readers email me recently about the Zakar twins (gay twin models) saying my stories inspired them to look up guys and they recommended I check them out. Apparently my stories inspired them. I love when someone writes and says they never though about those guys. I know we shouldn't fetishize a culture... But maybe I'm spreading some goodwill? ☺ I know in France and Europe there is a huge fetish community around Arab and Middle Eastern guys. Maybe it's spreading here now? They are pretty cute.
Kasper-8 is posted on nifty. Yay. I already got a few comments. I live for comments. I know I shouldn't. Good writing is its own reward... right. But I don't have people in my life who know about the writing so I sometimes need my readers. Working on Noah Ch. 21. Can you believe it?? 21 chapters. That is crazy! There has been a lot going on with telling "Navid's" family. It's been confusing but so far ok as you'll read in the chapter when I finish. Well this happened this morning :( The supreme court upheld the travel ban which includes Iran. That means our summer plan is off. I got my passport so we could go somewhere and meet up with his family in Europe. I'm a US-American, but "Navid" is an Iranian citizen so... Travel Ban
Fuck fuck! Seriously. "Navid" is out working so I don't know if he knows yet. I know he is worried, but he doesn't like to bring up stuff that will upset me. This is so fucked. Seriously. Don't even know how I feel. I tune out from most news. I shouldn't. It just never interested me, but now it's in my relationship.
I finally finished Kasper ch. 8. It took forever because I'm also working on chpt. 21 of Noah and then life just got really busy. I like this new chapter of Kasper, but it might not be that well received because it lays a lot of groundwork for future storylines. That's sometimes unpopular. People always like the chapters where the big drama happens, but I also need the chapters to guide them there. Noah 21 is going to be a really crazy chapter. So much is going on with the family and "Navid." It turns out ok though. It always does, right? :) Anyways. I don't think anyone reads this blog so I am likely to stop updating it soon. But it is kind of helpful to explain what's going on behind the scenes. It's hot this week!
After a week of not even reviewing it, Literotica is finally going to post Ch. 20 of Noah's Starship! yay! Next up is Kasper Ch. 7. I have had it halfway finished for over a week now but got stuck on a transition. Now it is coming to me and I feel like I can finish it this week. If you did read Ch. 20 of Noah's Starship, you saw about how Navid is preparing to tell his family. In real life, he still hasn't. It's so hard for him and I told him I don't want him doing it just for me. I couldn't live with myself if his parents cut him off or disowned him. I just don't want that happening. But he insists that he is going to do it. He says he knows for sure he wants something permanent with me and having that marriage paper is something he keeps pushing for. The funny thing is that I talk to his dad almost everyday. We videochat on the computer. He helped me with homework this semester and even reviewed some of my research papers. He likes to hear about my day and he tells me about his garden or his research or tries to explain soccer to me. I know he really wants a solid relationship with his kids, but they are growing up and don't spend as much time talking to him like he wants. It's odd because "Navid" is so worried about his father's approval. He works so hard to build the business, get the house, the fancy car. His dad really just wants to know his son. Would it be the end of the world to let him know who he really is? I know we won't have a huge expensive wedding. I don't want that... Well I do, but I don't want him spending crazy money on it. I just want us to be together with my dad there and some friends. There's a spot on the beach he took me to a long time ago near Santa Barbara that was so beautiful and perfect. A friend of his boss owns the place. I think I made a chapter of it in Noah's Starship. I would love to do it there, at a private beach house. How cool would that be? The Manchester concert was SO GOOD!!
The 20th chapter of Noah's Starship is posted, but only on nifty. Literotica is very slow these days so I don't know when they will approve it. I've officially been a houseboy for two weeks now (not taking summer classes). It's going ok, I make more elaborate dinners for him when he gets home. Luckily we live in a pretty walkable area with a grocery store nearby and a gym in our complex so I have everything I need. He hasn't told me yet where we're supposed to go this summer, but his dad says he is excited to see us. Up next is a chapter of Kasper's Den. I think I'm on chapter 7. I'm about halfway through it. It's really good! I keep going back to edit it and then adding on. I'll definitely finish it sometime this week. Being home most of the day I have time to write.
