I have recently announced that a movie (or two) about Catherine Reynolds might be made in the next 2 or 3 years. I was optioned for a scenario and I am working hard on it.
As some of you may know from my IAMA on Reddit a few months ago, I am a software consultant and I consult on a closed-source software I wrote for my ex-employer worked in a specific industry.
My employer went bankrupt from its other business ventures a few years ago owing me a lot of money (more than 6 figures), and for a settlement, I received both the source code for the software and the right to consult for it.
Ian: "Hello KMBS 98.5 FM Listeners. If you have been following KMBS 98.5FM today, you have heard that the police arrested two students at the high school earlier today for a fight, and that one of the students was a naturist while the other was a textile. I have now with me the naturist student arrested, Malcolm Jacobs, captain of the football team. Malcolm, you have been released by the police ?"
Malcolm: "I am told that if I keep the peace and do not reveal the identity of the other student, no charges will be pressed against me."
Tension was high, but for the grade school students, it was mostly lived internally. The textile kids had wide eyes trying to get used to all of the bare parts they were seeing for the first time. The Naturist kids were afraid the situation would degenerate.
Well, not all of the naturist kids, for most were simply happy they were finally able to get rid of their clothes while others were simply happy to have gotten rid of their anxiety about how today would occur.
I had my first girlfriend when I was 18, but I had been interested in a relationship since I had been 11 due to an early puberty. Sadly, the interest from girls was not mutual and as such, I ended up alone until a blind date in college changed my life from a lifetime celibate without any sort of self-esteem regarding the opposite sex to a normal college kid.
I want to continue to write small chapters from multiple point of views into the Eden's creek universe. I want to constantly add more characters, more stories and more locations as I see fit.
When I first designed the universe, it was to become a novel. I wrote a series of character arcs for the novels, mostly the story of Jake one of the original teenage boys (a textile) who develops an affection for Emily one of the new citizens (a nudist).
The big question. For me, there is a link between the two, but first, let me explain how. When I put on clothes in the morning or when I purchase a new piece of clothing, it is also a sexual action in the sense that the image I project to others is partly a sexual.
I always try to find a new angle for each of my stories. For years, I wanted to write a story about a character who unconsciously is a naturist but doesn't know it yet. I wanted a character forcefully drawn toward nudism without even realizing that they wanted it. Kind of like a boy who tries to seduce all girls only to convince himself that he isn't gay.
If you read how I discovered naturism, you'll understand that I always wondered what would have happened if I had truly made my first steps into naturism with my ex-girlfriend and her family. How I would have felt with her parents. When I was dating her, they knew that both of us spent time nude at her house and they knew that we would visit a naturist center in a few months including a week with them, but I never saw them nude and they never saw me nude.
As I already said, my first naturist story was about "Beth", written back in 1999 and partly integrated in 2000-2001 with my previously written Eliza story written mostly in 1996-1997.
In 2003, I had published "A Twitch of Faith" and I was working on a new novel which would become the current Eden's Creek story.
I spent over 6 months detailing the city, the major characters, the premise, but I was unable to actually write it.
What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?
