Here's a challenge. I produced this #Sudoku myself. I solved it in thirty five minutes. You should beat my time.

It looks like there are other #Amaryllis keepers out there! I'm putting mine away for a rest right now. I'll bring them out on Christmas day. I have six varieties in eight pots, but some repotting is called for.

Are there any Amaryllis keepers here? 🌱 I'm putting mine away, to be brought out at Christmas. I started 25 years ago with an Apple Blossom I still have. This is two Cybisters (Emerald and Bogata), Nagano, and Amigo.

I found this little guy peeking out from under the edge of the porch. I've never grown Gazania, but someone upwind from me has. #gardening

It feels like mid-summer again. #Gardening. The melons are from the second crop of a Charentais-type melon. There are nine more on the vine that already produced seven. For the last day of summer I brought in two melons, 27 New Mexico chiles, a pound of jalapenos and four tomatoes.

Not bad for the day before the equinox. The melons are from the second crop of a charentais-type canteloupe. There are nine more on the vine.

"The Orgasm Game" was published this morning on Literotica.com in Toys & Masturbation. It's a game you can only lose if you don't play. Maggie's fantasies a wearing thin. She needs inspiration. www.literotica.com/s/the-orgasm... #Literotica

Zelda copes with depression by being reckless and self-destructive, and Grace is running out of ways to keep her safe. She takes Zelda for a New Year’s weekend with Zelda's estranged son, and it's "Mom, Sex, Guns, and Rock-n-Roll" www.literotica.com/s/mom-sex-gu...

I've never earned a personal LitE troll. Maybe I'm not that good. I have to share generic trolls with other writers. One thing I do know: If you're going to expose your thoughts in any public space, you need to be ready for the wide variety of responses that you're going to get.

"Meaningless Sex" is up @literotica.com. It isn't about meaningless sex. It's an erotic romance about a woman burned by the breakup of her marriage, and a man who needs her. ~20k words. but I lost count. Part of the Pink Orchid Challenge. #Literotica.com www.literotica.com/s/meaningles...

I'm finding a lovers' argument hard to write, but it's the story's climax. Their confrontation is set up, and I know how it has to work out, but there be dragons in between. I've resorted to synopsizing the emotional core and walking them into it like a trap they can't escape.

Idiom. When I was writing "Love is Enough" (www.literotica.com/s/love-is-en...) I found the slang of the 1920's to be familiar. I've noticed since that a lot of the idiom I use came from my parents. Now I wonder if idiom dates my stories to the point that younger readers may not get it. #literotica

It's always the same. If my writing grinds to a halt and I walk away, the next thing I have to do to get restarted is delete the last few paragraphs. I lost my path. I'm lucky if it's just the last few paragraphs.

I've wanted to write DeeDee Durante's story since the day I posted "No Brand on My Pony" www.literotica.com/s/no-brand-o... I can't escape the feeling that DeeDee's story is tragic, and maybe Lit has little room for tragedies. Have you written a tragedy for Lit? How did that work out?
