The Curse of MS Word 2007

A few weeks ago, I noticed there was something strange when I was editing the source document of my latest story. It seems as if I had been careless and left many words glued together without spaces. However, it was impossible because I was certain that I had weeded out all major typos beforehand. I fixed those glued words as fast as I could and resumed my normal editing. However, a few days later, I noticed similar typos appeared again. I then realized that I wasn't crazy! Something actively messed up my story! Later, I caught the culprit: Microsoft Word 2007 !!!

Beware! Word 2007 can mess up your documents!

I currently use MS Word 2013 to edit my stories at home. However, when I'm at the office, I still use MS Word 2007. It was very easy to detect the incompatibility between them. As I googled the internet, I was glad to know that I wasn't the only victim.

It turns out that DOCX created by MS Word 2013 has issues if it is later modified in MS Word 2007. Upon saving, Word 2007 will randomly erase some spaces between your words. It is not clear why it happens. Microsoft has provided a downloadable fix (around 150MB) for this problem. However, once a document has been screwed, you need to manually fix it! And trust me, it's no picnic!

There are several ways to prevent MS Words 2007 from screwing your documents (other than installing the fix):
1. Keep your documents in DOC instead of DOCX
2. Once you use Office 2010 or Office 2013 (ie: Word 2010 or Word 2013), never use Word 2007 to edit your file!!!

Is Writing A Good Job Financially?

Does writing make writers rich? Not really....

The answer can be yes and no. If you ask EL James - Fifty Shades writer - she will definitely answer yes. But if you ask me, I have to say no :(

Being a writer, especially self-published one, is not easy. I do love writing but I must admit it may not be a good job financially. Unlike any other job, writing takes so much time (not to mention the time for proof-reading and editing/re-writing). It gets worse because an ebook can not be sold too expensive, no matter how long/how much work it takes for a writer to finish it.

My parents are actually not too fond of my writing activity. Besides it's too "gay" and too "porny" for them, they also think I need a "real" job: the one that brings steady income each month. They said if I had spent that much time in an office, I'd have become a very rich successful businessman, and not a jobless poor erotica writer. Unfortunately, I can not defend my writing activity because my parents are right. Writing brings me very less unsteady income. I can't even pay for my monthly internet fee with it!

Although I resent it, I've taken a deskjob last week. The sudden change of environment is appalling to me. I no longer have time for myself, much less to write! Even if I do write, I can only finish one page and I barely sense any soul from it (probably because I write it when I'm feeling tired). It's a disaster, but what can I do?

I do notice that some writers are not full-time writers, either. They too spend much time at the office. Maybe I just need to get used to it. But for me, it's very hard to spend time to write, not when I feel exhausted all the time because of the office work.

"You're A PORN Writer!"

Lately, I've had an unpleasant argument with an M/M fangirl who have NEVER read my stories. Basically, she said if a porn scene is filled with lots of non-sexual plots, it's still a PORN-WITH-LOTS-OF-PLOTS. She insisted I couldn't distinguish erotica from porn.

So, I wrote to Smashwords:
Let's say I write about a couple who struggle for their love. Lots of emotion, in fact in the end, one of them die. It's a touching story... But in the middle, there's an explicit love scene (pages long, complete with ejaculation)... Does it mean I still write PORN? And not romance-erotica???


And here is the reply....
Thank you for your question, though you would probably get perfectly fine answers from my co-workers, I'm actually writing in the Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance and Erotica genres.  There are shades of gray to all this and some people think that sex automatically makes for a porn categorization.  From how you describe your book, I would say it is an Erotic Romance.

If you develop characters that face the "requirements" of sexual relationships and grow through the relationships and challenges of their story, that would be an Erotic Romance, no matter how explicit the sex scene(s) is/(are).  It's a matter of ratio, what percentage of the text is used for sex scenes.  Porn writing is generally 90% or so sex, those writings are geared towards creating "desire" in their readers and are sometimes referred to as "one-handed reading."

Timeless: Titanic Chapter - Part 1

Timeless is a serialized novel about love and reincarnation which spans across ages, starting from ancient Egypt to the far future when the universe meets its demise. Timeless saga started in ancient Egypt, when the High Priest of Min named Sabef fell in love with Prince Kawab. Yet, the prince was more interested in General Hunefer. Not thinking like a normal person, the obsessive priest then cursed Kawab and Hunefer to reincarnate endlessly.  

 

In 1912, a rich man's son named Ian Coulter ran away from his father after his sex affair with the butler was discovered. With Titanic's ticket in his hand, Ian looked forward to start a new life in America. Aboard the lavish ocean liner, Ian bumped into Chief Officer Edmund Fox. Ian thought he had fallen Edmund. Yet, he was later caught in romantic dilemma after meeting a stoker named Frank Millson. Things turned supernaturally complicated when Ian discovered that he was the reincarnation of Prince Kawab whose destiny was forever bound to Hunefer and Sabef. But time was running out as the Titanic hit an iceberg during her maiden voyage. Once again, Sabef's curse had been proven. But who would survive the sinking? 

Timeless is available in two editions: Romance Edition and Uncensored Edition for those who crave steamy details. Order your copy today!

   

WARNING: This story ends with a twist!

The Ordeal of Porn Ebooks

Lately, several online stores which sell ebooks have been on a mission: to purge porn ebooks from their stores! Self-published authors are to blame, from what I gather. The news however is ambiguous. While they stress on forbidden themes such as incest, rape, and bestiality, they keep calling it with a general term: PORN. 

WHSmith closed its store just to purge porn ebooks from its shelves. Meanwhile, Amazon stated that sex stories violate its policy: "We don't accept pornography or offensive depictions of graphic sexual acts." From such statement, I conclude that Amazon doesn't want any porn, even the consensual ones. Does it mean the end of commercial self-published erotica?

To counteract porn, UK is preparing Obscene Publications Act (OPA). If OPA is legalized, publishers will get punished if they fail to protect consumers from the "danger" of porn ebooks! Many anti-porn people support OPA. However, PJ Vogt from OnTheMedia.org protested that erotic fiction concerns fake characters who don't exist in real life.

SAVE THE CHILDREN ???

*************************

One silly concern surfaces: CHILDREN! The news mentioned that many parents were worried their children might be exposed to porn ebooks from online stores. My question is, which silly parents who let their underage children run amok in Amazon, WHSmith, and other similar online stores, with a credit card???

The internet is NOT for children! Smart parents should have been aware of that. It's the parents' responsibility to look after their children, not by throwing blame! Heterosexual parents can't expect to have the joy of sex and produce baby, then force strangers to look after their child!

TEENAGERS VS PORN

***************************

Ok, I want to know which person who has never been a teenager? Like it or not, teenagers (esp male) want porn! It's heavily influenced by biological clock. Puberty sets in, then they get lustful even though they're below 18. Keeping porn away from them is FUTILE! Even if internet had been closed down, they could still get porn!

Falling In Love With Alistair

I recently started playing Dragon Age: Origins, and immediately fell in love with one of the characters: Alistair. He's goofy, sarcastic, sexually naive, and... Oohh... He's straight! Luckily, with the right fan-made modification, Alistair can be "gay" (by tricking the game that you're female).

The world of Dragon Age is similar to Lord of The Rings. There are wizards, elves, demonic creatures, knights, kings, and war. Set in Ferelden, a fantasy world, the people in the game has their own god called Maker. At the start of the game, Ferelden is about to get obliterated by the Blight (demonic plague/war). The player can position himself/herself as a human noble, an elf, or a dwarf. Player will get the role as a Grey Warden (something like peace-keeping warriors) and travel the land to unite the races. As the player travels and meets many people in needs, he/she will be accompanied by several characters. One of them is Alistair.

Alistair's biography is interesting. He's a bastard - his mom was a servant and his dad was a king. Since childhood, Alistair was raised by a noble called Arl Eamon before later he's sent away to a monastery. Long story short, Alistair was supposed to be a Templar but ended up being a Grey Warden.

Dragon Age allows romance for players: both straight love and gay love. Players can kiss a character and even make love him/her. Unfortunately, by default, the only gay male love interest is an UGLY ELF assassin called Zevran. Alistair, by default, is set to be a heterosexual man who's interested in female player.

It's very easy to get in love with Alistair. First, he's handsome. Second, he's goofy. In the game, Alistair doesn't get along well with the other companion: a witch called Morrigan. They love irritating each other. Some of their dialogue are amusing. Alistair himself is naive and sometimes talks in a funny way.

Some of Alistair's funny sentences:
* "Have you ever licked a lamp post in winter?"
* "They say you can get anything here. I once got pick-pocketed."
* "Why do they call it a 'brothel?' There's no broth. Or is there?"
* "*Sniffs* What is that smell? Fish? And something else. Oh... more fish."
* "What is that smell? Dwarven vomit? Charming."

Nigerian "Scientist" Proves Gay Is "Unnatural"

Below news is real! It's not satire news and it's not hoax. As a gay man, I have no idea whether I should laugh or scream in anger by this so-called proof that gay is unnatural. He used MAGNETS to condemn homosexuality!!! All I can say is this so-called scientist has shamed Africa & Christianity. His so-called science reminds me of Christian "science" back in Inquisitional Era. 

Nigerian 'scientist' proves same sex attraction is 'unnatural'

'Scientist' Chibuihem Amalaha attempts to prove homosexuality is wrong through simplistic experiments which have little to do with the subject

15 SEPTEMBER 2013 | BY ASHLEE KELLY

A 'scientist' from Nigeria believes he has proved same sex marriage is 'unnatural' by conducting simplistic experiments which have no relation to homosexuality.

Chibuihem Amalaha, a post graduate student from the University of Lagos, believes that basic laws of physics are God's way of saying same sex attraction is 'wrong'. (???)

Speaking on his 'groundbreaking' discovery through the use of cutting-edge technology like magnets, Amalaha said: 'A bar magnet is a horizontal magnet that has the North Pole and the South Pole and when you bring two bar magnets and you bring the North Pole together you find that the two North Poles will not attract.

'If you bring two South Poles together you find that the two South Poles will not attract indicating that same sex marriage should not hold. A female should not attract a female as South Pole of a magnet does not attract the South Pole of a magnet'.

The Importance of Tragic End

Happy end? Again? Really?

In nowadays romance novels, we come to know the term HEA (Happily Ever After), HFN (Happy For Now), ETR (Epic Tragic Romantic). Many readers and even publishers demand HEA. Theory goes that HEA gives the readers a good feelings after reading, thus it's more preferable. ETR is the least wanted ending, so I heard. But let's see whether ETR is really bad or not.

As human beings living in a world full of problems, we prefer to read (and watch) things which can make us smile with much satisfaction in the end. However, such stories are unrealistic! It's like reading modern fairytale. Real life doesn't always give happy end. That's the fact. Like it or not, tragedy can also be a good commodity for stories/movies.

DEFINITION
***************

From what I gather online, there's a clear definition regarding HEA, HFN, ETR ending:

* HEA: main characters are happily ever. Most stories end in a happy marriage or engagement.
* HFN: main characters are still happy but their future is not guaranteed. Most end in dating scenes or sexual relations.
* ETR: one or both characters die. Readers scream, "Why?!"


GOOD ETR
************

The famous example of ETR is James Cameron's Titanic: tragic love between Jack and Rose. We see how they fall in love and how they fight to survive. But in the end, Jack still dies. The movie is also closed with an ending which can be construed as a death scene. Nevertheless, the movie actually has a fake ETR because we're shown that Jack and Rose's spirits are happy in the afterlife. Most people love that movie! Some even watch multiple times. If ETR were so bad, logically that movie should have sunk into the bottom of Atlantic.

Another ETR example is Madame Butterfly (based on true story). We watch how Rene Gullimard fell for a Chinese actress Song Liling and married her, even brought her to France. In the end, Song turned out to be a man! Feeling betrayed, Gullimard chose to keep the memories of  female Song in his mind as he commits suicide. This ETR story has been made into movies and also plays. Again, if ETR were so bad, logically no one would have wanted to watch it.

Alright, perhaps you may protest that Titanic and Madame Butterfly are movies. Well, what about Romeo and Juliet. Two lovers fight to be together and they are so close to happy-end, only to be ruined by misunderstanding. And death befalls them both. ETR haters will have to explain why this tragic stories have been retold & rewritten so many times. 

The End of Cheap Stock Photos?

Recently, I've painfully found that one of my favorite commercial stock photographers has erased all his stocks from various stock websites including DepositPhotos.  Ironically, I was just about to purchase a subscription there. His works are quite famous. If you read a lot of novels, you must have seen his photos adorning the covers. I myself used his photos for Adramelech and Bleak Woods. In DepositPhotos, he had reached the highest rank: Platinum, which gave him right to sell his photos more expensive. So why did he quit? I wasn't not sure why but vaguely got the idea that he quit because of subscriptions which hacked off his income. Other stock photographers complained the same thing.

Years ago, I dared NOT imagine the word "royalty free photo". The price was obscenely expensive! Nowadays, many cheaper stock websites appear which offer cheaper price but only if you agree to buy them daily. DepositPhotos for example offers daily subscription starting from $69/month which gives subscriber right to download high-res images. Images which normally cost from $5-15 are now available as low as $0.5. Apparently, many people prefer to subscribe rather than the expensive pay-as-you-go.

The only site which he doesn't leave is iStockPhoto. Want to know their subscription price? $995/ 3months with 35 credits/ day. For your information, a high-res image can cost up to 40-50 credit there, meaning you can only download 15 hi-res images/month! I'd rather buy a LAPTOP!!!

The Real Conjuring

I just finished watching a horror movie called The Conjuring. It's actually not really that scary, compared to Asian horror movies. But it got scary after I googled the movie out of curiosity over its 1970s setting because the story is real! So, to me, the scary factor is not the movie itself, but the real event.

THE REAL HAUNTING

**********************

In December 1970 Roger and Carolyn Perron purchased a farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island. Following events at their previous address, Carolyn decided she did not want to rear her children there and felt a house in the country would be a more suitable location for her 5 young girls to grow up. What Carolyn thought would be her dream home turned into a living nightmare.

The house they purchased was the old Arnold farm which was over two centuries old. Eight generations of families had lived and died in that house and some of these spirits never left. Previous residents of the farmhouse included Mrs John Arnold who at the age of 93 hung herself in the barn and Bathsheba Sherman who had an extremely hard life. She lost all of her children before the age of four. When she was a young woman, Bathsheba had a young child in her care (it is uncertain if this was her child or if she was caring for the child for a friend) that died. Upon examination of the baby’s body it was found that a needle had been impaled into its skull and the baby had died from convulsions. Bathsheba was charged with manslaughter but due to lack of evidence the case was dropped. However, in the court of public opinion she was found guilty. She was a very beautiful woman whom men loved and women envied. 

Following the death of the baby rumours began to swirl that Bathsheba had sacrificed this baby as an offering to the devil for eternal beauty. Due to the belief of the locals that she was a witch she lived a life of solitude. Eventually she married and it is unsure if she lived all her days at the Arnold farm or the adjacent Sherman farm. She died in 1885 and the coroner made a note in his report stating that he had never seen anything like it that it was like her body had turned to stone. The Perron family spoke to a man who knew Bathsheba and he said she was a very angry and bitter woman who would beat and starve her farmhands.

Vampire, Again & Again

Vampire? NOT AGAIN!

I just watched a new TV series called The Originals. Guess what? it's about vampire, again. Nowadays, it seems that vampires are all over the entertainment media. Anyone ever gets fed up with vampires? I know there are many vampire lovers out there. They are the real reason why our entertainment is constantly bombarded by blood-sucking creatures. Many love them, so producers and writers keep making them.

Before I start, I must state that I'm not a vampire-phobic (lol - I talked as if vampire had been real). I do love watching True Blood for example. But I'm just utterly BORED with this non-stop vampire trend. We need other supernatural creatures in our entertainment. Come on, writers and producers. Let your creativity flow! Find us other creatures!

It seems that Twilight is the main culprit. This trend also crosses over to gay community. We have countless M/M romance books about vampires, vampire gay movies/tv - including some gay porno.

My first ever "encounter" with vampire, as far as I can remember, is Forever Knight. It's a TV series in early 1990s about a vampire who worked as detective. It wasn't really exciting but there wasn't much choice on TV. Then of course, the 1992's movie Dracula (my favorite). Vampire then appeared regularly on TV along with Buffy.

Afterwards, I lost track of vampires until Twilight invaded cinemas. Suddenly, every female teenagers swooned over a sparkling vampire named Edward Cullen. Almost at the same time, True Blood was on TV. Since then, vampire keeps invading, esp in books and on TV.

Why vampires are boring?
1. There are too MANY of them, everywhere! I mean, come on. It seems like everyone is copying from one another.
2. Vampire is too PREDICTABLE. They always suck blood, even the gay ones!
3. Whenever a vampire shows up, WEREWOLF will always show up! See? How predictable the plot is?

If this vampire trend keeps going on, to my horror, I may find myself writing a book about gay vampire! LOL


VAMPIRE TRIVIA
*******************

1. Many scholars argue the word “vampire” is either from the Hungarian vampir or from the Turkish upior, upper, upyr meaning “witch.” Other scholars argue the term derived from the Greek word “to drink” or from the Greek nosophoros meaning “plague carrier.” It may also derive from the Serbian Bamiiup or the Serbo-Crotian pirati. There are many terms for “vampire” found across cultures, suggesting that vampires are embedded in human consciousness.^b
2. A group a vampires has variously been called a clutch, brood, coven, pack, or a clan.^f
3. Probably the most famous vampire of all time, Count Dracula, quoted Deuteronomy 12:23: “The blood is the life.”^f

Women Love PORN!

"Mmm... Gay porn. Yummy!"

When I started writing explicit gay erotica back in early 2000s, I didn't expect to get fan emails from women. Later, when I decided to write gay erotica commercially (with more non-sexual plots), surprisingly 99.99% M/M readers I met (mostly women) stated they disliked reading explicit sex scenes a.k.a. porn. I honestly don't know what women want, especially after reading the article from Daily Mail UK. It states that women LOVE PORN! Hmm...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2376737/Women-seek-hardcore-porn-says-Belle-De-Jour-writer-Dr-Brooke-Magnanti.html

David Cameron announced on Tuesday that every householder connected to the internet will have their access to online porn blocked unless they ask to receive it. And while many people are heralding the 'opt-in' porn restrictions as a success, Dr Brooke Magnanti- research scientist, and writer, who, until her identity was revealed in November 2009, was known by the pen name Belle de Jour - has shed some interesting light on the new development.

Writing on The Telegraph, she said: 'One big assumption seems to be that only blokes will opt-in to porn, because the widespread myth is that only men watch it. But women seek out hardcore content too.'
Belle De Jour writer Dr Brooke Magnanti says Cameron's internet porn 'opt-in' system won't stop women watching sex online

"I love porn. Do you?"

She goes on to explain that women don't just seek hardcore content in erotic fiction such as Fifty Shades Of Grey but also online. She revealed that Google search terms such as 'porn,' and 'Playboy' are more likely to be entered by men than by women, however, generic words such as 'sex,' are equally as likely to be entered by women and they are actually more likely to type 'adult sex,' 'free sex,' and 'cyber sex' than men are.

Soundtrack For Books

When we watch movies, we'll notice that background music/score is always there. Depending on the scenes, the right background music can drive us to delve deeper into certain emotional state. Without background music, movies will feel static and emotionless. However, in textual stories, music is absent. Readers have to create their own imagination.

For me, as a writer, music helps me write better. The right kind of background music puts me into emotional state, to help me picture my own scene better. Many times, background music inspires me to write new minor plots which originally weren't intended to be written. I heard, other writers use the same musical method when writing. Someone I know also says he likes to paint with loud music for inspiration.

While other writers choose sexy jazzy vocal songs, I go for instrumental music. To me, vocal songs with words are simply distractions. It's akin to someone talking to you while you need to concentrate. It simply doesn't work for me.

Adult Blog No More

Loyal readers of Himeros Blog must have noticed that this blog used to be marked as adult blog. However, from now on, Himeros Blog will become adult blog no more. Why? Some of you may wonder. There are several reasons which underlie my decision to change this blog's format.

1. Blogspot's new policy regarding adult blogs
Today, I receive an email from Blogspot. After June 30th 2013, they will erase all adult blogs which display ads to porn sites. When I started this blog, I filled it with my original adult-rated stories accompanied with cover arts featuring gay porn stars. The ads/links I placed were a part of agreement with the studios which owned the models. To be honest, I make NO money with my ads! I haven't cashed out a single cent from all my adult web affiliations. However, Blogspot's new policy makes it impossible for me to maintain the blog without breaking either's rule. Thus, I finally decide to erase all my adult stories, covers, and links. With that, my blog is practically no longer an adult blog. 

2. My commercial writings
Writing free adult stories is fun but it gives me no income while I have monthly bills to pay. Since February 2013, I start writing commercially by self-publishing. Although my stories are still erotica, they are not entirely porn stories with the heavy addition of non-sexual plots.

Therefore, from now on, Himeros Blog will no longer display adult-rated stories. Instead, it will display excerpt, review, promotional materials from my commercial gay ebooks. I'll also begin posting stuff which are non-related to my stories because it seems like a trend for writers.

Loyal readers who miss my free adult stories, you can still find them at http://www.himeros2013.tk Please keep supporting me by purchasing my commercial ebooks. Help me to support myself. Thank you for reading. And thanks for understanding.

Interviewing Neal Lucas from Bleak Woods

Bleak Woods is my self-published debut M/M erotica novel - released in February 2013 - which tells about Neal Lucas who is stranded in a creepy forest, only to discover that he may lose his head if he refuses to help Headless Horseman of Norcross. In his quest, he meets some hot men and discovers gruesome facts about the specter. This erotica ends with twist ending. If you like unpredictable plots and are not afraid of steamy details, you must read Bleak Woods. It has 64,000+ words and costs only $5.99. It took me months to finish it, along with the arts and freebies :)

Today, I’m interviewing Neal Lucas, who works as a journalist in Los Angeles. We're currently standing at the entrance to Bleak Woods, a forest somewhere in Virginia which has been rumored to be haunted.Neal, thanks for sharing your time with us. We know you’re in the middle of your vacation here.

Neal: You’re welcome. Thanks for having me here.

So what brings you to Bleak Woods?

Neal: I've actually come here to hunt deer. There’s a website that claims that Bleak Woods is a heaven for American deer. No one ever hunts them here, so I thought I should check it out.

But Bleak Woods is renowned for its creepy legend of the Headless Horseman of Norcross. Don’t you know that?

Neal: The website did warn about that, but I’ve chosen to ignore it because I don’t believe in the supernatural.

So why don’t you believe in the supernatural. I mean, you believe in God, right?

Neal: Yeah, I do. But that’s different. I personally know some people who think that believing in God is equal to believing in ghosts, Big Foot, UFOs, etc. But to me, religion is all about faith, not supernatural mumbo-jumbo.

That’s an interesting view, Neal. So, you're not afraid of the Headless Horseman of Norcross?

Neal: Nah! I'm sure it's just a hoax spread by some save-the-animals activists. I have to admit, their tactics work. I mean, no one dares to come near this forest.

Do you hunt a lot? I mean, judging from the weapon you carryand your big backpack… I'd say you're a professional hunter. Correct?

Neal: Not really. I used to hunt a lot though, with my dad when I was younger. But the tradition ended once I went off to college and began work. Life just gets too busy these days. You know, what I mean? It seems you no longer have time for yourself anymore. Just work, work, and more work. No work, no money. No money, no love…

Speaking of love, does anyone know you're gay?

Neal: Err… Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I don't flaunt my homosexuality,but if someone asks, I don't mind telling them I'm gay. If they don't like it, I don't care. I have no time for homophobia.

Bleak Woods

In 1744, something terrible took place in a British colonial town in America called Norcross. Charles Carleton, a respected townsman, was caught having sex with his stableman, John Brillhart. The priest of Norcross, Father Phelps, decided that Carleton had committed the most hideous crime ever recorded in human history: sodomy, which was punishable by death according to the Bible. Fearing that their beloved town would become the next Sodom and Gomorrah, Carleton was decapitated. After he died, his soul held a deep grudge and turned into the Headless Horseman of Norcross.

 In 2012, a gay journalist named Neal Lucas was lost found himself waking up naked in Bleak Woods, a mysterious forest shunned by the locals. The Headless Horseman threatened him to find his lost head. In Neal's quest to find the head, he uncovered gruesome facts about what really happened in Norcross hundreds of years ago. What secret lay between the Headless Horseman and Neal which was separated by hundreds of years?

This supernatural mystery erotica ends with twist ending. If you like unpredictable plots and are not afraid of steamy gay details, you must read Bleak Woods.

NO other erotica writers who writes steamy stories with plots, designs arts, and offer printable freebies!

 

Himeros' Web - My NEW Website

Hello everyone, sorry for the inactivity. It's been long since I posted my last blog entry. Then again, it takes SO long to finish a full-length novel! The good news is I finally have my own official website. Unlike my site at Pridesites, this site has no annoying double banners. I re-designed everything although I try to maintain the previous look. As usual, I created all the arts, from the intro art to cover arts. Everything in artistic professional taste. My first full-length novel called Bleak Woods is also available for purchase!

My website at pridesites will still be online. But I may abandon it altogether because I now prefer to write commercially. I actually enjoy writing for free, but as a jobless man, it's simply impossible if 99.99% readers are non-donating members. I have bills to pay, food to buy...

I want to thank all of you who ever donated to me, whether it's $50 or even $2. Special thank to Richard who never fails to support me. Now that I've taken a slightly different path, I do hope you guys will still support me. Please purchase my gay erotica ebook so that I can pay my bills. Writing is my only income. Thank you :)
