Will I do not truly desire incontinence, I play at it from time to time. The shelter/lock-down has allowed me to do a lot of extended wearing. My longest stretch was 7 days and it was pretty easy to wet without too much thought. I could walk, sit, eat, drive and wet without forcing it. Interesting point, if I drank at least 20 ounces of liquid about 30 minutes before bed and took an Ambien after diapering up, I'd wake up wet every time I tried it, which was 3 times. That's enough for me to count it as effective. The same could not be said of Benadryl, alcohol (wine, bourbon and beer), melatonin nor valerian. I don't usually need Ambien but I had a script for it about half a bottle left from a few years ago and I had too much time on my hands.

Went with the winner. I will use the red dress on another cover because I do like it a lot.

That was the one. It is part of one of my short story collections.

And the sheep will follow the one that feeds them to the slaughterhouse. Rights, once surrendered, must be fought to win back. Flattening the curve won't keep one person from contracting the virus. The whole purpose is to keep the hospitals from being overrun. They are not. The Seattle hospital they set up didn't get one patient. The Mercy ship in NYC with 1,000 beds has had very few patients. Upstate NY has sent ventilators to NYC. Those that are sick should segregate themselves away from those that are not at higher risk. AKA, the rest of the world should get on with their business.

I personally, just my opinion, think it is more political than public danger. So far it hasn't killed more than the seasonal flu and the Chinese lied, people died. 100,000 died in China, maybe millions and they are not out of the woods yet and still they lie. Chinese traveled to the hardest hit areas long after China knew what was unfolding. That's why Italy, NYC, London, etc are all higher than average cases per capita. Generally healthy people without underlying issues aren't at risk. Keep the vulnerable and at-risk quarantined but let the rest of us get about our business just like, you guessed it, the regular flu. I'm betting it was here in December and a lot of otherwise healthy people already have had it and suffered no other health concerns. The compromised immunity and elder people unable to clear their lungs are already susceptible to anything that is going around, cold, flu, e-coli, etc. And about flattening the curve. It will only save lives if there aren't enough ventilators to go around. Flattening the curve doesn't keep anyone from getting the disease, it merely shifts their eventual infection to a time when, hopefully, a bed is available. Finally, the whole country is NOT NY f'in City. We don't all need to be locked down since my area is less than 100 people to the square mile. Our population density is much lower than the big city. Last I knew NY f'in City didn't dictate my freedoms and rights. Rant over!

I am finding this very interesting. I think I remember reading some portion of this before. I'm liking the reboot.

The votes are in and it appears rhumba panties lost big time. The clear winner is subtle diaper under dress. That will be the cover to my next book, Happiness: It Don’t Come Easy, to be published next week on Amazon as a kindle and paperback book.If it gets banned by Amazon, I’ll have to go with the red dress image and make up a new name.

Only a few hours left if you want to grab a copy of this book.

Interesting concept. I had a short story about a virus that cause bowel and bladder incontinence. I think I named the disease Bowel and Bladder Incontinence Emaciative Syndrome or BaBIES for short. If you have a DL slant to it, I could see it. I'm a little busy with a few other projects but if you don't get any bites in a month, I'd be interested in seeing where it goes. Does it cause bladder only or bladder and bowel? Is it total loss or severe weakness? I have one vision of women returning to the long dresses and petticoats of yesteryear or a new style where poofy bottoms are all the fashion rage with short skirts that do not disguise the real need for diapers. Do you have any outlines or arcs you want to pursue with it? Are we following one wife's or one husband's journey or is it collection of similarly themed stories, such as a chapter of a the outbreak, 10 years later, 20 years later until no living person has a memory of life before the outbreak? I can see a resistance group of women that are not incontinent as a subplot, trying to regain rights for women. I have an idea that I won't discuss here since it would be a slight twist. It has potential. Working title(s): The Diaper Plague, Lady Problems or When Girls Lost their Toilet Training

This book is free now. Enjoy! Comments welcome.

As a way of giving back to the community, how about some DL reading material? During this time of immense boredom and being confined, I'm giving away my book, The View from Whitman's Ridge, for free this weekend, April 3rd to April 5th. That is the US link but it should be free in all Amazon marketplaces. Here's the blurb and the cover art if you are interested: Jake is a middle-aged widower, still moping over the sudden loss of his beloved Sue. He had hidden his love of diapers from Sue their entire marriage, repressed it. With his loving wife no longer by his side, he decides to see if diapers still hold the allure they once did. A chance meeting with a young lady in need of automotive assistance snowballs out of control and Jake meets Jill, a first-time diaper-wearing teenager that might turn his whole world upside down!

Just to close the loop, it was the book that Amazon blocked. It morphed into Test Subjects Wanted and this is the cover I went with.

There are sales but not really worth the effort. I was making more when it was Kindle unlimited. I'm going to pull my books off Smashwords at the end of April and put them on KU again.

Yeah, might as well try to find a support number for Google.

Me too but I'm a bit worried the image might give me grief with Amazon. I might have to go with the red dress to be safe. I'm going to see if I can get some opinions of authors with racy covers. I've already had one book BLOCKED.

I'm working on another book and I've worked up four different book cover images. I'd like to see which one is preferred. Please follow the link to cast your vote. https://www.opinionstage.com/botox/which-book-cover-do-you-prefer

I also got a 1-star review over a year ago because I initially released a book with the wrong manuscript. I fixed it as soon as Amazon would approve the new manuscript going live but someone still left that 1-star review about the wrong content. I updated the manuscript again, changed it to be Revision 2 and added a line high in the description that identified the book content was corrected. The book hasn't sold very well but it has sold a few copies and has had pages read. So, if it is something you can address at the beginning of the blurb, "Not an audiobook, not a map" kind of thing, they can't say they weren't warned.

I wasn't sure where to post this but I've started a Tumbler account since I can't seem to post any more pictures to the board for some reason. If anyone has any interest, it is available here: https://botoxdl.tumblr.com/ I would appreciate feedback. So far, just the one book cover as I work on understanding how tumblr works.

By way of update, I'm posting my books on both Amazon and Smashwords. Without the Kindle Unlimited I'm still selling more books on Amazon than on Smashwords by about 5 to 1 but I don't have my back catalog on Smashwords. There is nothing like market penetration.

Not an artist but interested in how this turns out for you. Also, the link for Confessions of a Cart Jockey says you shut it down.

I write when I have an idea. If I were to force it, it is sub-par tripe that is nothing more than page-filler.

VPN is for secure communications to a secure location. If you are already using HTTPS / SSL for your web connections to Gmail, Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc, you are secure from the browser to the remote server. If your machine is compromised, that doesn't protect you. If the remote server is compromised, that won't protect you. You need long, complex passwords that are unique to each account. If they support multifactor authentication, you should opt for that. AKA, when you attempt to login, you will have to enter a password and respond to a text on your phone to gain access. That will go a lot farther to keep any nefarious hacker from gaining access to your accounts.

I've been writing for more than 20 years, giving my content away for free, and just last October I put a story up on Amazon to see what would happen. I promoted it only here and another more general kink site and it sold fairly well. I still make my books free to the folks here at times to show my support. Having said that, my advice is to work up a well-edited short or two, something in the 5,000-10,000 word category. A poorly edited book will put readers off. Next, create a nice cover that doesn't infringe or is too suggestive. That's your hook to get people to look farther. Finally, put it on Amazon or Smashwords or both. If you put it exclusively on Amazon, you can enroll it in their program that lets Kindle Unlimited subscribers read it and you will be paid by page read. I've done all of the above and so far I've made about $500/year. No, I'm not going to retire on $500/year but it did stroke my ego and make for a better vacation than I was originally planning. You never know until you try and if you don't try, the answer is always no.

One more day to get this ebook for free.

Glad you liked it. There are still many available. I didn't plan on actually running out. Thanks for reading!
