Back to work!

Ok, so now that I've got my laptop back, I really need to crack the whip on my writing. I have so many stories that are waiting for more work to be done. Normally, my writing style is I get a lot of ideas and write a little on each one until one of them stands out as a story that catches my attention and I focus on it exclusively until it is done. I think I know which one is demanding my attention now, so I just have to make myself work!

I am complete again!

There is nothing like having my laptop back! I feel whole once again! Now once things calm down I plan to do some serious writing!

Of course, while I had to resort to my old laptop, I came up with yet another story idea. I do that a lot. Finding the time and motivation to write them all is the harder part.

However, I'm looking forward to working more on one of my stories especially, and hope that I can get it finished in the next month or two. I think it may be my favorite of the stories I've worked on thus far, so I am excited!

Well, off to the daily grind!

What I'm reading.

I thought I might take a minute to share with you all the stories and books that I've been reading lately. All of these will fall under the category of male romance/erotica. I read a LOT of stories, both online and on my kindle app on my phone or computer, so rest assured, there will always be suggestions from me!

First, the nifty stories that I like. I'll admit, nifty requires a little digging to find a few hidden jewels. While I'm all about a little sex reading now and then, I think it is very important to have a plot in there too.

Probably my favorite nifty writer hands down has to be Tinnean. The first story I read by this author was "Mann of My Dreams" and it will forever be my favorite. Plenty of action, a great detailed plot, and of course, the requisite hot sex. There are a few other stories that explore some of the side characters' stories and they are just as well written.

Currently, I am enthralled with the series Remember Me, and anxiously await each new installment. The gut wrenching tension in this story is incredible and the hopeless romantic in me is screaming for things to work out in the end!

A few other various stories that I enjoy on nifty are listed below, with links:
How To Say I Love You
Unexpected Reunion
The Good Doctor

I'll have to make another post about the kindle stories, but believe me, there are plenty to list!

Greetings to all!

If you are reading this, then welcome! I got such a wonderful response from my first two submissions to Nifty that I decided it would be easier to have a central area to update when I have new stories available. So check back regularly for posts on stories I have in the works and what has recently been completed!

First, I did want to talk about myself a little. Randy Zak is a pen name. I sadly do not feel comfortable posting stories under my given name, for concern of how it might be taken if my hobby were discovered by my employer or others. It truly does bother me that I have to think that way, but unfortunately I do.

The reason I'm so uneasy about being traced is for many things. Perhaps most of all, because I am a female. I know that might be a surprise to some - and even too much of a surprise for a few - and for that I apologize. I had debated on whether to say anything or not, but I felt that I just could not keep that information a secret. I hope it will not color your opinion of me or my writing. While I am female, I often tell people I was a gay man in a former life.. And truly, sometimes it feels like it! I strive in all my stories to just tell a good romance, with a little loving for spice. I hope that my gender will not be an issue and I hope you will continue to enjoy these and future stories!


At this time, I have two stories posted to Nifty: Set Fire To The Rain and I Left My Heart In Cowboy Country. Both of these have gotten some very wonderful comments from you all and I cannot begin to express how much it means to me. I am glad to have written something that others have enjoyed, and will strive to create more stories for you!

I have upwards of 20 stories in the works right now. Sadly, I'm pretty limited in my writing at the moment due to being down a computer while it is being repaired. I am using my older laptop and it just does not have the speed for my patience level. All my files have been backed up, so I haven't lost any of my writing, but it is much more difficult to work on this one. But, muses strike in funny ways, so who knows what might happen!

Once again, I thank you all for your kind words and comments on my stories. It does mean a lot to me to hear your opinions. I will occasionally post to this blog with questions about story ideas or characters if I need a little outside input. I hope you will all be able to act as my sounding board.

Until next time!
With much love,
Randy
