New Story Alert!
I just posted a new story – Reunited, originally published in the Bruno Gmunder anthology Whipping Boys. This one’s about the class homo getting his revenge on a bully. It’s one in a batch of vaguely S&M-themed stories I wrote for Bruno Gmunder back in 2014.
I know I haven’t posted in a while. I feel really cut off from online life which is both good and bad. I’m working steadily on a large-ish writing project lately and I don’t know when it will see the light of day. Mostly I’m at this really transitional stage in my life and I’m trying to just exist in it and not get too worried about the future. I don’t feel as excited about writing erotica as I used to. Maybe because it feels like there are so few outlets for it. Maybe I’m just cut off. But the anthologies have all but died out – pretty much the only money-making thing I can see is ebooks, which I still do, but publishing them feels a bit like shunting stories off into the void. I know that people read them, but they’re so solitary or something.
Am I complaining? I’m not in the best mood, writing this. I am listening to Angel Olsen’s new album which is so good. I hardly know what to say when I try to write things online. I never post on Facebook anymore. It feels weird to be cut off from that world because the internet is where I got my start, writing. Now it’s like I’m only writing for myself.

Natty I still jack off to your stories and I still tell my friends to google you. I guess masturbation is solitary but the sharing isn’t. I love your work, forever and always.

Dear Natty, i keep reading your blog. And I love to read about the states of life and discovery you are in. I can often feel the things you write about, feel cut off from life very often, too. Please do not give up writing I think it is your gift. Hope to hear from you on here soon.
Greetings from Germany!

Thank you Georges! I really appreciate the encouragement. I’m not likely to give up writing anytime soon. I think I’m just in a transitional period where I’m figuring out where to take it next. xoxox

Hey Natty, I enjoy your stories immensely and have read all those I could put my hands on (so to speak) for a few months so please continue! Although I understand you’d want to evolve and am keen to see where your imagination will take you next. No matter how isolated you may feel at times you have a devoted readership 🙂
Best regards, Fred

Thanks Fred and Glen! I swear I didn’t post that as a bid for attention/sympathy but I don’t mind getting it just the same! I doubt I’ll ever stop writing in one form or another. xoxo
