Prednisone and bronchitis

Courtship had more red flags pop up than in the annual running of the bulls, yet our put-upon protagonist can't hear the sound of the Mack truck bearing down on him, at full ramming speed.
Goodness, do all such folks have to be possessed of IQs lower than their age? How does this guy manage to dress himself?
Given all that family and friends dished out on him, I'm surprised that: (a) he hadn't been institutionalized; and (b) his revenge was so weak...poison ivy/oak for most folks, a few days of prednisone will handle that.

Ironic that I'm hopped up on prednisone & some antibiotics that I think are called Godzilla. I've got pneumonia gagantuosa, & lo & behold your story speaks to me. I love the sweet, gentleness of this story, how so many people show their concern & caring. The worst thing after a rape is the loneliness & I'm glad that wasn't part of the mix. You are a joy to read & a gifted writer. I'm moving on to the next installment, happily, because I have the company of a beloved writers stories to help me heal.

Guys, I know it's been a while since I've written, and I'm so, so sorry! With a new assignment from hell, a wedding I was the day coordinator for, a pretty bad cold, the flu/bronchitis for 3 weeks then the Holidays, and I've met a man who is a Master which has consumed a lot of my time since then, I am ready to start writing again!
As I said, most of chap 21 is 1/2 written and I left Gayle on Hamish's desk, so once I figure it out today I finish it -- I promise!! Give me two weeks (I hear Lit is now taking 5 days to post!) and it'll be there for y'all.
Please hang in there! I know ya'll are mad.

I met an Armenian girl who was, is, a friend of one of my daughters; petite little girl, long curly black hair, eyes so black they hypnotize. She's just lovely; all perky and saucy. She'll be my next heroine. I showed her this story and she was furious! She wanted to know what was going to happen to poor Poncho and Lefty.
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold, so the story ends we're told. Poncho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too. He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old. (They played it on the radio...)
You guys are going to be sorry when Poncho's gone and you didn't give him one measly tip of the hat. That's thoughtless indifference to a national institution.
The story's still pretty good in a silly sort of way, but shouldn't the sun be up by now? There's going to be a lot of commuter traffic, and I bet a lot of people are double parked. Can't remember the name of the island in the Arctic where they think the last Mammoths lived. Save that damn pachyderm; I heard some nefarious Zambians were out to get his tusks.
These things should all be getting fives; for balls if nothing else. (Elephants have big balls)
Oh, oh I just felt a rush of blood to the head! The damn Prednisone is kicking in. By for now...

I was busy with work and almost missed this story.
I'm thinking putting it in the incest/taboo section would continue to draw eyes to the series. Central High Blues should cover his senior year in High School, with a follow up series covering his first year in college.
I think you need to figure out how many chapters you want this next series to go and then layout the year, including Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Breaks in the school year, as well as how he handles other holidays during the year (Halloween, Veterans Day, MLK Jr Day, Presidents Day, St Patrick's Day, Cinco De Mayo, Memorial Day) finishing up with a June Graduation Day. Also in that final chapter of the next series write up about a Senior Ditch Day and a night party with the senior class (possibly in Disneyland if I'm right that the character lives in Southern California: there usually is some up & coming music acts playing at venues within the park(s). Google it for more info to help give you some ideas.) Of course Josh studying for and taking his SAT & AP tests including prep times with some sexy action attached & Josh applying to various colleges and choosing a college between those acceptance letters he receives, would add some depth to the next series and not be Josh going from one fuck to another.
Other potential events:
-An erotic Halloween swingers or sorority party. The swingers party allows you to bring back all of the nurses and their men as well as introduce other friends of just his mom's or both of his parents, like his dad's hot secretary. The sorority or Greek party would involve Beth picking him up and attending the party as her date and introduce some of her college friends into the story like more detail on her roommates.
-A Thanksgiving family sex orgy
-A Christmas & New Years Eve to remember
-A Graduation Pool Party that turns into a sex orgy
Then I would fill in the new characters, such as ...
-A bisexual female principal who he finds has a submissive streak, after she catches him fucking the familiar school nurse
-That nypho English Teacher who doesn't wear panties and who all the male students lust after, getting peeks of her ass cheeks and pussy when she bends over to pick something up. She is also married to a Navy SEAL who seems is always on deployment.
-That busty librarian
-A nerdy Calculus or HS Physics teacher who seems to always to be pregnant from her husband, and therefore is always slightly horny
-An imposing Amazon PE teacher, who played college basketball or volleyball looking for a real man
-The school slut who is underage, overly aggressive and who he has to actively avoid as she becomes more determined to fuck and suck his cock, at least until she turns 18, she may even be a cheerleader.
-The nerdy valedictorian who was held back a year due to her having a year where she was constantly sick with chicken pox, bronchitis, the flu, measles, the common cold, and ear infections during one year in elementary school.
-The class President & Homecoming Queen who tries to get Josh to date her, as he becomes popular with everyone
-The creepy male Civics teacher who has Army recruitment posters with women in slutty outfits, and who has all of the girls seated near the front of his classes.
-The disciplinarian male Assistant Principal who he catches fucking the principal, while she is eating out the school secretary.
-The male economics teacher who doubles as the coach for the track team & is carrying on an affair with the married nypho English Teacher
-Other teachers &/or coaches
-Of course you cannot leave out his mom and dad with whom he may have a threesome, with his dad and him spit roasting and double penetrating the mother
-Visits home by both his sister Beth & his goddess Leanne with them taking him to either the Coachella Music Festival &/or Lake Havasu for Spring Break.
-Heather and Jeanine visiting the house with him sneaking in some sex with them.
This should give you some ideas for your next series and give you some time to consider your next series and then quickly produce each for your readers to not have to wait too long before the next chapter comes out.
Then you can either just focus on the summer before Josh goes off to college or both the summer and his first year in college or all 4 of his years in college with some story summaries advancing the story when you feel you need to.
