With the posting of my story <a href=\"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/?p=7483\">My Drowning Master<\/a> I have now reached 700. Of the last 100 story posts 42 were actually written during the last 7 months, with several more that were written that have yet to be posted.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the newer stories reveal that I have branched out into other dryer themes. Most have a common denominator being \u201ca female in some sort of peril\u201d. But I still enjoy writing the erotic tale that takes place mostly underwater.<\/p>\n<p>My 700th post \u2013 My Drowning Master \u2013 was written for someone in particular back in February of last year. I intended to add more chapters to it but lost interest and never got back to it. After looking at it again I decided I could just go ahead and post it. I will warn you that it does have a similar feel to my Treachery in the Mediterranean story. Both are based on an old Marquis story that inspired me that I read several years ago.<\/p>\n<p>I have been picking and choosing to post older stories in my archives that I\u2019ve never posted before. Some of them I have been editing heavily; others not so much. You may have noticed some AF picture stories that I have never posted before that show I went back and edited them recently before putting them out. It is the perfectionist in me trying to decide how much I need to tweak a story before putting it out.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you may have noticed a couple of new names this year that I have been writing for. Dorothy and Zilpha are half-sisters who live in the United Kingdom. Both have a wide range of peril fantasies, although Dorothy also shares some of my drowning fantasies. They have been great fun to write for and I love them both. If you enjoy their stories, then be looking for a new category for them sometime in the near future. In the meantime feel free to use the search function with either name to see what stories I have written for and about them.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve noticed some stories do not seem to be well received and that is ok. I am well aware that my stories reach out to a wide variety of tastes. I don\u2019t expect everyone to like everything I post; that would be unrealistic. But I do hope that something I have posted in the library catches your eye and gives each one of you something pleasant and enjoyable to read.<\/p>\n<p>The rating system and the comments help give me an indication of where I may have succeeded in some areas. Some stories have received a lot of positive ratings, making me feel good that I did hit a home run with that particular story. Other ratings tell me it was not their style or type of story and I understand that. I appreciate your understanding that we all have different likes and dislikes. What appeals to you might not appeal to someone else and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>I am still keeping track of the requests I get. I cannot promise I will get to each and every one as there are some stories that simply do not attract my attention. On the other hand, I have been hit with sudden inspiration from time to time and have been known to pump out a story in an afternoon or evening. I\u2019m sure other authors would agree that is how inspiration can work sometimes. So that is why I keep a file of story ideas. I never know when inspiration might strike as I go back through them again.<\/p>\n<p>As always, I want to thank you for stopping by. There are many places to surf on the Internet. The fact that you stopped here means a lot to me. I do hope there is a story somewhere in my library that turns out to be an enjoyable read for you.<\/p>\n<p>Summer is over! Enjoy the fall and the changing of the leaves and the coming holidays! Stay safe and healthy! And thanks for stopping by\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 7 months ago on February 24 I hit 600 posts.
