I became a member of Literotica in July of 2015, as a reader. I got totally wrapped up in 'Aquata Cove', a fantasy love story by 'feare909', about a blossoming love affair between a young gay man, Adam, and a Merman, Merrick. This story actually ended, finally, at about 101 Chapters. This story had me captivated for many months. If you like stories that have a lot of love and emotion, and an awesome plot, I highly recommend it.
After reading the first thirty some chapters, which was all that had been published at that time, I was inspired to try my hand at writing, and started to write my first story, 'Prison School'. As a new writer, I made numerous mistakes. The biggest mistake was to start writing a second story (DJ) before the first one was complete. I was trying to alternate uploads between the two stories, and I lost many of my readers, due to the time lost between uploads. I won't make that mistake again. (Except for a shortie, like this one.)
The 'Prison School' series ended at, I think, 31 Chapters. I am currently working on Chapter 16 of the 'DJ' series, and have at least three more stories on the back burner, which I will not start until after the 'DJ' series is completed. (I try to learn from my mistakes) My mind, unfortunately, runs much faster than my fingers on a keyboard.
I am currently 76 years of age, and have been gay my whole life, but did try a straight marriage that lasted for 5 years. I am the father of two awesome Sons, now 49 and 46, who were both raised by their Mom and Step-dad, so I have mostly lived a life of solitude. Unfortunately, I have never acquired that long-term relationship with another loving man, so there is no HEA in my life.
Abraham Lincoln once said that if you always tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you said. But writing here is fiction, and it happens that what one writes in one chapter may be forgotten in a future chapter. I was reading an early chapter (3) of DJ yesterday, and discovered that Jamie had stated that he turned 18 a few days after graduation in June. Yet, in Chapter 14, only a few months later, we are celebrating Jamie's 20th birthday on Christmas Eve, as he is suddenly a Christmas baby! OOOOOPS!
