Story writing - the process for me

Most people who visit my blog regularly will know that my primary contribution to the CP scene over a number of years has taken the form of short story writing. I started writing CP fiction before I knew there was such a thing - I was writing spanko fiction for my own enjoyment when I was about 9 years old - long before the internet and long before I knew that such things as Janus and Roué existed. My enthusiasm for writing has come in waves and when the internet arrived and I discovered  alt.sex.spanking and then soc.sexuality.spanking I published quite a few stories there. Some of those found their way on to other people's websites a few years later. More recently, I've had a fair few stories up on Library of Spanking Fiction's excellent site and they have put some of them into ebook form. I have had a year or two away from writing for personal reasons but finally finished off a few stories early this year and sent them in, so hopefully they'll appear on LSF fairly soon.

A large proportion of what I write is in a school setting and 95% of the recipients of the punishments are female. Usually the characters are contemporary - they dress and behave like people of that age do today and they have mobile phones, the internet and so on. However, the disciplinary regime they live under belongs more to the 1950s. I like to try to come up with some original storylines - there are a lot of recurring themes out there! Sometimes, I'll follow one of the standard story lines and then put a twist in the tail.

A few weeks ago I had a sudden flurry of ideas for some new stories, made a few quick notes of the synopses and started writing one of them. It was a bit standard perhaps but I really enjoyed the writing process and getting to know my main character as she developed through the events I put her through. Suddenly a very different ending evolved and I would never have expected the story to end the way it did. There was a real euphoria at that point. It is about 7,000 words, so not all that short, and I will need to let it rest for a month or so and then proof read it. However, the surge of enthusiasm for writing has totally gone now. A definite case of 'drop' after the euphoria.
