Another Year Older

The day has finally arrived, my 62nd birthday. To be honest with you, I’m beginning to think I am getting old, lol. You know what is funny? I remember when I was a kid, and if we knew someone was 62 years old, we would have thought that they had one foot in the grave.

When my brother passed away 7 years ago, that was the year that I removed my birthdate from all of my social media apps. This website is the only place that people will know my birthday, and the only reason for that is because I can tie it into birthday spankings. I’m not even sure why; I guess it probably has something to do with the fact that I would speak to my brother every year on this day, and that is no longer important.

If I start to ramble, just keep in mind that there are 8 birthday spanking pictures at the bottom of this post!

As you are aware, I was well ahead of schedule for publishing my latest book. The original goal had been to release it today, but once it was finished, I got impatient. If you have Kindle Unlimited and you feel like supporting me, you can read the book on Kindle Unlimited for free. BRITISH SPANKING – FOUR SHORT STORIES. Compared to my other books, this one hasn’t gotten off to the greatest start, but I have sold 4 copies and had a couple of hundred page reads, so it isn’t all doom and gloom. đŸ˜‰

Whenever I write, it all has to do with how I am feeling. At the moment I have, I think, seven stories that I have started. A couple of them are a quarter of the way through already, but I have to be in the mood for them. One of the stories that is in my folder is a badly written story that I have posted on this blog. Jane’s Birthday Spanking. However, the grammar and punctuation in that story are positively awful. It was one of those stories that I just slapped down into a word document and then posted it without editing it.

The good news, however, is that this week I started to rework the premise of that story. The posted version on this site is 1,750 words long. Well, that is about to turn into a minimum 15,000-word novella. It is going to look nothing like the one in the link; however, the tone of the story will stay the same. Yesterday I wrote the first 1,200 words, and Jane is now a young English woman who is coming to America to work on a summer exchange program. The story will now be set in 1985, which, coincidentally, is the first year that yours truly came to America to work on a foreign exchange visa at a summer camp.

The other glaring difference is that the story I am now writing will also be edited properly. Realistically speaking, it isn’t even the same story. The one on my website is really just an idea that will be expanded tenfold. I’m hoping to make it as long as I can; however, the story can only be as long as the story dictates itself to be. Bare minimum, I have to make it 15,000 words, but I really want to try for about 18,000 words if I can. If all goes well, I might be able to spank this one out in a week!

For Kindle Unlimited it doesn’t really matter how long they are because people can read them for free with their subscription, but because I have to put a price tag on the eBook in order to get it on Kindle, I would be embarrassed to charge $2.99 if it wasn’t at least 15,000 words. I know there are other spanking authors that will put eBooks on Kindle with as few as 3,000 words, but I couldn’t do that.

Anyway, enough of my horseshit, you are here for spanking pics, right? In honor of my 62nd birthday, here is a potpourri of 8 birthday spanking photos. It’s a bit of an image dump really because none of these would likely make my blog otherwise.

  1. Thanks a lot, Slick!!

    The hardest part of writing a story is the beginning, and the original Jane story has no beginning or buildup, it goes right into the spanking. Thankfully, in a moment of wisdom, I managed to write a 1,200 word opening. There will probably be another 1,200 words before the fun begins, but I am happy with the start. Just keep in mind that the story will be vastly different to the one that is posted, obviously, as it is going to be ten times the size, lol. However, the overall tone and style will remain the same.

  2. Happy Belated Birthday Richard! Glad to see you are still updating your blog and made the leap into publishing your stories. Congrats on that!
    It coincidentally serves as an inspiration and a reminder that I really need to do the same and publish my stories.

    All the best,
    Enzo

  3. Enzo,

    I would definitely recommend it. Right now I am only in my 4th month and I am pulling in $200 a month. I’m sure there will be a drop off at some point, but at the same time, who knows. Perhaps if I keep adding a new book each month it might just grow?
