I’m not a therapist, I don’t have a clue how to apply the psych I studied to life. I might understand some of the theories more than some folks, but I’d stake real life experience earned smarts and instinct up against school book knowledge any day.

Then again, I do think about the psychology of this lifestyle choice a lot. Maybe too much.

Paul, you’re a sweet and loyal friend. God willing I will be able to stay motivated to keep up this recreation for a nice long stretch. I won’t lie, work has been more stressful than I expected. The politics baffle me and unlike my prior life as a nurse educator, the curriculum I’m required to teach now is very rigid. Even though I know some of it is out of date, I can’t update it without the blessings of twenty layers of approval (only one of whom has any real training experience). I can’t even acknowledge that some of it is old if participants bring it up. That plus the fact that in my long time job in Quality & Risk it was my job to be blunt and firm when meeting participants were being idiots, now I can’t piss anyone off. I can adapt… I’m just off to a bit of a scary start realizing the stuff I never even dreamed of.

OK… I gotta sleep. Lindy’s going to take a bit of a break now while Winter Wonders gets developed past Winter, and some more new drawings get posted.

Of course I’m writing this in a hotel. I won’t get home till late Friday & then have to get on the road early Sunday for a 7 hour drive to a three day meeting. Time’s not my best friend right now.

:) I’m working on WW though. I owe a Christmas gift of another installment even if it doesn’t get up till boxing day…

ya’ll be good… love ya.

For as long as I’ve been reading you, you have created believable characters.

I disagree with Hardwood in one respect,
your stories are great, Period!

It’s great to see you in full creative swing, long may it continue.

Love and warm hugs,
Paul.

Your descriptions of the character’s emotions are priceless.

These will become some of the all-time great spanking stories when they are finished.
