My First "Published" Story - My Best Bud...

If you have read my previous posts, you know my current work is a short story being posted on the Nifty Erotic Stories Archive. I wanted to start something for this adventure instead of taking something I've already written. I write a chapter, do a few re-reads to make corrections or changes, submit it, and it gets posted. Then I start on the next chapter. The next chapter may even be influenced by emails I'm receiving. So this is a lot of fun for me right now.

The title of this story is My Best Bud. The storyteller is eighteen-year-old Shane, and he is remembering all of the goings-on with his best friend, TJ. A funny tidbit of info here, Shane was really supposed to be Chris in the story. I had erroneously never mentioned his name in the first chapter and I had received quite a few emails of people loving the story and couldn't wait to read more. Most of them assumed that the storyteller was me, Shane. Why wouldn't you? So I ran with it. Chris is now Shane. It still isn't me though, but I've told a couple of readers that maybe one day I'll write my story.

I'll post updates here to where I am in the story and what's happening with it, as many emails are asking when is the next chapter coming out. You can find these post titled, "My Best Bud - Update."

Here is an update history to date:

12/18/2017 - I've started Chapter One, the first chapter to a short story about two best friends just out of high school on summer break before going off to college. The story is being written from the perspective of one of the friends. I think I'll title this story, "My Best Bud."
