What I've Been Up To

 Shitty title for this one, I guess. But here it is. I've already explained how I'm doing other works, and all that. I've always had a YouTube account, that I do stuff with... whenever. I have a TikTok that I'm marginally done more with. I haven't talked about my writing on there. Either of them. As of late, I've done quite a bit of fanfiction. I also have a decent amount of original work being... worked on. Yeah. It's all in the name of honing my craft.

I have also had a Twitter account, forever. I also just recently made an account on BlueSky. No, it wasn't to run away from Twitter, either. Both are aieght, and I know those are more popular with the short form blog format. I can do a lot more here, than there. And this, unlike those there's, is about my writing. I also have made a Link Tree for everything that I'm doing. Yall should check that out. Especially if you wanna see everything I've been writing since this pipe nightmare dream started. I have a lot of things crossposted, and the reasons should be obvious. But there are some things that can't go in some places. The things that can't go in any place, will find it's home here. I also have Cashapp, and had been thinking about Ko-Fi, or whatever it is.

Now what I'm not doing, is writing erotica or smut under this name anymore. I have a new name for that stuff, there are reasons for this. I don't know where this name is going, but I know erotica can be a detriment. No I don't want that name connected with this one... it has it's own email, and all that. It doesn't mean I'm removing existing erotica, it just means that; other than what's already there, what needs to be finished will be, there will be no more. It will stand as proof that I can do it. Why not? I also have a different name for my poetry, and a possible for romance, depending on how things go.

In the mean time, I will be trying to not abandon this blog, which seems to be a pattern for all of my blogs. I still have two hidden, that are under construction for the Panther platform, and Gy6 scooters. Pages and things will be updated and such, I'm still working on changes to make this what I need to be. I think this place is a keystone. I've also been trying to simplify and make my handle (@ItsDaJax) as universal as my user name. I suppose tiny updates and shit will be on Twitter and Bluesky, and sometimes my Facebook page. As far as big stuff, or whatever, that's writing related, will be here. The only thing I've only half thought about, is putting anything about my fanfiction here, and I'm not sure about my stuff on Medium, which is specifically editorials, articles, whatever you wanna call them.

 

All I need now, since I've been fucking laying the path is an audience. I've been writing on and off since 2011. I'm like KET; I need viewers like you. It feels like I've been mostly writing into the abyss. 

I've been leaning on short form writing, Whatever novel length stuff is out there, is just out there. Again; proof I can do it. But I'm not doing it for free. I had been pondering where I should put what, for the longest. This move has aided in that quandary, so has the new pen name. No more free novels, I need something for KDP or Smash. Sure there's Love.exe, but that's pretty much a first draft, and book one of a duology. The second won't be free. It also has B-sides, short stories to go with it.

Whew... this was a lot, but it needed to be said.

Rhapsodic Revamp

 It's been a while since I've done anything here, but I will be trying to give this site a broader range than just the Lazzoverse stories. My hypothetical viewers will notice the name change along with the content. Things are different, not everything I write is part of the Lazzoverse--I haven't written anything for that in a long time, actually. I was never going to pidgeonhole myself with such narrow writing, besides; it makes better sense to just redo here, than start a whole new one for everything else. It's all under this name anyway.

I've done quite a bit of writing, a few years ago since I was mostly writing for Literotica, I needed a sabatical from it. With the issues with the laptop I used for writing, I hadn't done too much on any Lazzoverse story, except a quick edit of Rayne Falls to put on Wattpad. Back in 2019 I had gotten inspiration to write again with fanfiction and have written several, about, well, not exactly sure, but roughly twenty at the time of writing this on AO³(Archive Of Our Own) and FanFiction.net, with reposting some on AdultFan-Fiction and Quotev--which also has original content being put on it, although also repost. I know those sites are old and I well missed the bus when they were most relevent, but I need the reach and Wattpad is some bullshit, honestly. I also gave Medium a try.

This writing shit often feels like a fools errand and I don't know why I keep trying to do it. My plan was to get known enough to hopefully make publishing more lucretive. That there would be examples of long form and short form writing. I'll probably just provide links to my fanfiction and my Medium account, and Literotica. This sites for everything else. I may or may not finish the unfinished works on Lit, but effectively last year, erotica has basically ceased being written under this name, I don't want anymore connections to it here, for a myriad of reasons. Nor is the name I'm continuing under has any connections to this one. That's about the last you'll hear about that.

No, I'm not, nor ever sought to be rich from any of this. I just want to tell stories and if it lets me keep a pack of smokes, then good. I have nothing on the market yet, life has not been too kind for too long, and I'm trying to have several things completed and a lot of shit needs to be written or edited/rewritten. When I read Rayne Falls before I edited it, I couldn't believe I wrote it, I audibly asked my laptop "who the fuck wrote this‽" One reason was I had planned on going tradpub, but learning more about that, I don't plan on it, I don't think the mainstream fits my work. Here I am, almost twenty years later, trying to still build myself with a bunch of free shit to get people interested in buying shit, and the free shits barely catching attention. I'm too close to forty for this bullshit. I ain't giving up yet, though. As Groucho Marx once said; "I'll live forever, or die trying." Everything I'm doing, or want to do is to build a legacy, some generational wealth to pass on to my kids I can't see, be a tad bit less of a nobody. I'm not greedy, if I can be a footnote, if not at least a paragraph in history, then it wasn't a fruitless endeavor. I wanna live, not just exist.
