I don’t think anyone should feel they can’t leave an honest review or that they should only review if it’s 5 stars. I think that defeats the purpose. I have always found it strange though, when I read a glowing review (on any platform) and it’s accompanied by less than 5 stars. To me, a glowing review IS 5 stars. (Unless your in the business of being a professional critiquer, in that case, please don’t read my stories lol) As an author, if someone did that to me (left a glowing review that was less than five stars), I would feel a little defeated. It might even eat a me a little, wondering what I did wrong. My nature is more of an encourager than a discourager so I will likely lean towards a 5 star simply because I know the effort put into writing a story. It’s personal thing. For me to warrant a 3 or 4 star would mean there is something like major plot errors or stilted and hard to read story. Ultimately, each person will review as they see fit. Do I want less than 5 stars? No lol. But I don’t think 5 stars should be unattainable either, not on a platform like this where the work is free and voluntary. I’m curious what others say, especially when we have both sides giving opinions; readers giving reviews and authors receiving reviews. Interesting topic.

And he waited over a year just to be noticed before that. The time between is getting shorter. Surely something will happen before he reaches retirement age...right?

Thank you for the kind feedback. And you're right, there is so much we learn from the everyday conversation! I think it's something we overlook

I think this is more Loren's style

Heading to the valley to get soccer equipment for the kids. Small town life. Trying to find soccer cleats for a kid with ridiculously wide toe box is so hard it’s bordering impossible. I’m worried he won’t be able to play.

63° Is a summer day here! I’d need AC for sure

To embarrass myself further, until this blog, if you would've asked me what prepositions are, in relation to grammar, I would've come up empty. Or, I might have asked, "did you mean predisposition?'. I need a nap and some better education.

I won't tell you what I read at first glance but it rhymes with institution. Clearly I need more than grammar lessons.

Aww, thank you! Good things to come, promise!

Great chapter @Mawgrim. Beautifully descripted. I've really enjoyed reading your stories. Not my typical genre but easy to read and get invested in anyway.

I don't go that far back lol

I think this is perfect. A one time pass for a double posting.

While the peanut butter whiskey is very good and I do like it, I still very much drink it like a child, ugly faced and everything. I tried to drink Blackberry Whiskey on the rocks the other day and thought I was going to die. It was good but it's too strong! If anyone has suggestion on how to mix it...?

One one hand, it takes almost nothing to get me drunk enough to double post. On the other hand… As someone who is public the way Loren is public, and who is sexualized like way he is, yeah, he’s in a hamster wheel for sure.

All of this. AlL of it. You left no stone unturned. I couldn’t have said any it better

Jay is not very dense. Of the two, that’s probably Loren, in a sense anyway. Jay is very smart 😉😉

Never. Ever. But he was never going to get it even if Jay didn’t step In the picture.

Jay knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. It’s precision calculations. He doesn’t know much about Loren, so to some extent, Jay doesn’t even know exactly how precision his calculation is. 💯💯

He said you have to be more than good looks and a hot body to be successful in the business. That really has nothing to do with Sven lowering his pants after a long day of working. That’s just Loren having sex (responsibly, after making sure everything was done for the day) Which is really a perk of his hard work.

I mean, we’re only on chapter 3 of 31 chapters, still lots to learn and lots to go!!! But yeah, we learn a lot more about Loren

chapter three loren I hate the term ‘influencer’. There’s no way to say it without sounding like a total fucking douchebag. Unfortunately, people looking for a quick buck and the chance at going viral have single handedly delegitimized the art and hard work of true marketers. Content is everything. It takes more than one good post or funny video to catch fire. More than good looks and a hot body. It's about continuity, longevity, and adaptation. More importantly, and above a

I am. They will alternate chapters until the end so we will really get to know both guys!

I totally understand. No point in doing extra work if no one really response to it. I'll enjoy it however frequently, or infrequently you post them
