In a recent comment on my author page, Norm asked what else I had up my sleeve. In other words, what stories am I thinking about writing next? I started to compose a reply to his question, but it became too long and involved for a comment. So, I decided to post it here instead and let everyone know about my future plans.
After I finish with The Joy of Looking — which probably will end up at around 130 chapters — there a few other things I’ve been working on. The first is a fairly long story* about two grown sisters, one of whom has a young daughter. I’ve written about 10 chapters in that one so far, but I’m not really happy with the direction it’s going and so I’ve had to make a lot of revisions. I can’t say how soon I’ll be ready to start posting that.
Another idea I have is to create a series of vignettes about Angela and Bambi in their earlier days, before they reach the beginning of The Lost Girl Game. That could be interesting. I have one short piece already written and have plans for several more.
The third possible project** is an interactive story, where the reader gets to choose from two or more options at the end of each chapter. This would certainly be fun to create, but a lot of work as well. If I do get around to putting that together, it wouldn’t be ready for posting for at least several months.
Finally, I may just decide to take a short break. I’ve been writing erotica almost non-stop for the past year, many hours a day, often seven days a week. A breather might be in order. And I’ve also given serious consideration to trying to write a non-pornographic novel, you know, an actual legitimate book. I have a few ideas for that, plots and characters I’ve outlined, so it could be I’ll make a decision to go that way. If I do, then I probably wouldn’t be posting too much here at Juicy Secrets. I wouldn’t be a stranger, still keeping up with comments and so on, but not adding any new stories or chapters for a while.
That’s where I’m at right now. Still undecided, with numerous possible options — a little bit like Choose Your Own Adventure! If and when I make up my so-called mind, I’ll let you know, okay?
UPDATE (August 25, 2016)
* The story I was referring to there is Secrets, which I began posting a few weeks ago (on August 2). I’ve written more than 20 chapters at this point. It will probably end up at around 25 or so.
** I’ve been working on this one too, off and on. It’s a rather complex project, but also lots of fun. I’m not sure how long this will take to complete. Perhaps I’ll have it ready to unveil by the end of year. We’ll see. The thing is, I have to have the whole thing done and post everything at once — all the different variations — so the reader can make any desired choice and not just get stuck somewhere.
