I'm very happy that after ten months of posting on Stories Online, my most recent story A Submissive Sibling is my first story to pass 20,000 downloads. I hope my readers think I'm getting better as an author, and I also want to let you know that I'm not afraid of going back and making edits if anyone points out issues to me. I don't write in a vacuum, so all feedback, good or bad, is appreciated.

I'm back from my break and writing again, but may not be quite as active as I was for a few more weeks. I finished off Chapter 10 of A Submissive Sibling and published it earlier today. It's a meaty chapter at 8.2k words. I haven't finished the story yet, but I'm already deep into writing Chapter 11 and there's a chance that could be the last one.
On another note, I've decided to taper off and stop using AI generated images for my stories. I had been using the Pony Realism model on Venice.AI, but they discontinued it and I have not found a suitable replacement. Since AI in general is controversial, I think it's time to leave it behind for illustrating my future stories. I have a few for A Submissive Sibling that I generated a while back, so it will feature a couple more but that will be the end.
Thank you for all the kind words and inquiries about continuing my stories. I love comments, good or bad.

I've had a couple of readers reach out and ask when I'll continue my A Submissive Sibling story, so I wanted to make a post to say that I'm in the middle of selling my house and moving, so there will be a delay before I finish it and get also get the next chapter of The Gloria Hole out.
I have the chapter for Submissive Sibling planned out, but just need to find time to sit down and write it. Thanks to everyone who reached out, I appreciate that you are interested in seeing the story continue.

Every time I think I'm about to finish A Submissive Sibling with the latest chapter I'm working on, I find myself coming to a natural stopping point. This happened once again with the latest chapter and there is still some more story to be told.
So I can't promise that Chapter 10 will be the end, but it might. It seems like readers are still enjoying it, so we'll see how it goes. Thank you for reading and especially thank you for those who have taken the time to leave feedback or noticed issues.

I'm still a "newbie" writer, having only started publishing at the beginning of the year. I've gotten a good number of compliments about the quality of my writing so far, so I was quite surprised when I got a message here from a reader telling me that Chapter 7 of my story A Submissive Sibling was repetitive and not up to my usual writing quality. I took a look and used an analysis tool and was horrified to find I had used the phrase "I could feel" 28 times in one chapter.
So it seems I developed a writing tic and was absolutely blind to it. I checked a few of my other recent chapters and found that it occurred there as well, but not quite as badly.
All this to say that I absolutely appreciate the reader, Robert, pointing this out to me. I hope anyone reading my work will help me catch things like this. I want to be a better writer and feedback goes a long way towards helping me on that journey.
