An Update

I'm unsure how to word this post because I'm still unsure it's the actual end. I know that over the last month(-ish), I've tried writing something dozens of times. I'd start something, get a little way in, then trash it. When I used to do that, I'd still have the urge to write and finish something. The last month, and especially the last couple weeks, I've felt... Nothing. No drive. No desire. Just a dismissive, 'Oh well...'

All that is to say that for the time being (possibly for good) I won't be writing any new captions or updating the blog. Maybe I'll get the itch and want to write again next month. Or maybe next year. Or maybe never... I don't know for certain. All I know is that if I keep trying to hammer stuff out in spite of a lack of desire, I'll just stress myself out. And after the most recent elections showed a hint of light in the darkness, I'd prefer to not put stress on myself.

So to all of you who reached out, all of you who've inspired me or been inspired yourself, and all of you who just casually read and enjoyed what I created, thank you. Seriously. A BIG thank you. As a person who has always thought they had a gift for something and squandered it (and still thinks that way often), it was a much needed catharsis. It got me writing other, non erotic adjacent, things. Maybe you'll end up reading those someday, albeit under a different author name.

Again, THANK YOU! Maybe I'll be back someday. If not, though, try to be the best person you can and enjoy life as much as possible...

A Few Captions + Update

 I'll give you the new captions first...

And now the update!

During the first week I took off, I didn't look up any new pictures for captions or even try to write any. I'll admit, it was great. No obligations. No need to pound my head against a wall to eek out a few sentences. Less stress. (Not because of any of you, mind. Just my own personal shit...) I'll be honest,

I thought it might be time to stop writing captions. I really did. I flirted with the idea over and over. It was closer than I thought...

But about a week ago, I sat down to write again and I ACTUALLY finished one. Then another. It was nice to get something done. Then I took a couple days off. Then wrote another couple. I stopped making myself do things at certain times. I stopped pressuring myself to write when I couldn't get anything to stick. It was a far better time than before...

So all that being said, I think for the rest of this year I'll post captions once a month. Might be 20. Might be 2. Whatever my brain decides to let me get out. Over that time I'll see if the passion to keep doing this is still there or if it really IS time to stop. I've been doing this for seven-ish years now and, as of today, will be for awhile longer.

We'll see what happens. In the meantime, though, thank you all for sticking around. Thank you all for being patient. Maybe this is just a bump in the road...

Blog Update (Not 'Bad' News)

 The last few months have been quite busy for me. Between my job and some life stuff, I've been unable to find much time to write captions. Trying to grind stuff out in a short amount of time is not the way I typically go about things. I'm not exactly stressed or overtaxed YET, but I can feel it coming...

So with all that being said, I'm going to take the month of September off from the blog. I'll be back either the 3rd or the 10th of October (I'll give a head's up before I do). I hope you'll all be here when I return!

Stay safe and happy!

*Bonus Post* I Finished Some More!

 Had a few that needed finishing touches put on that I lacked the time to do before. Wrote another one after I found a pic I liked. Hope you enjoy them!

Now back to my cave for another couple of weeks...

Not Many This Time...

 I seem to be going through my periodic writer's block. I don't know if it's the weather or if I'm sick and don't realize it, but nothing seems to feel right on the page at the moment. Sorry in advance and hope you enjoy the couple I DID finish...

If I happen to get any done tonight into tomorrow, I may post them then. Given how things have been going, though, I wouldn't be expecting anything...
