All Comments on 'A C&W Song in the Key of Life Pt. 01'

keep it up.

Great teaser. I look forward to the denouement. RIP Hank. Thanks*****

A little smoother might be good also, read through and re-read or an editor would up your game.

Why was he in a room with another woman. Out of 600+ stories I've read on here I've never been completely lost on what the hell is happening.

Not enough here but interested.

Will wait to rate until I know more.

Good start that grabbed out attention .... now who is this dastardly Rob ???

instead of a" shouting match" when he got back from the hotel he could have "shouted "out what he wanted to tell her..or in open court read a statement or tell her bff what really happend...but then we would'nt have a story..hows he gona get over her fuckin the owner of the Lexus....more pls...stlcris

First let me say it was nice to read something that didn't start out as a cuckold story. You stated she was still standing by the side of Plano Parkway as he drove away which would mean something he said had clicked in her mind but she was driving someone Else's car.I hope in chapter 2 we find that she had a come to Jesus moment. Would we be right in believing that the car she was driving belonged to the lying son-of-a-bitch who killed our marriage instead?

I enjoyed it. You gave us enough clues to know she is driving her boyfriend's car. Her boyfriend may be the guy that destroyed their marriage, if the guy's luck holds. The dog's death and burial was well done. The worst mistake here is giving us half page chapters. That sucks the big one.

Chuckle.

Waylon and Willie 👍🏻

Awaiting the rest before scoring any of it.

even for a serial this is way to short

but needlessly short. If this is ch1 then try to post at least 2-3 pages min per chapter. Anything less sucks.

Like others I hate to start rating a story with so little so far.

It appears she is driving her new beau''s Lexus...moving on up...now she may be almost tempted to hear his reason/excuse for being caught with his wick in another woman...and how did she find out?.. Who set him up to move in on her? Just asking..

Not a story yet. No score.

but I sure would like to know what really happened in that room.

And the glossary of terms set the tone for that which followed.

Unlike others who have complained about the short length of this episode, I like serials. It takes me back to my childhood Saturday afternoons at the local movie matinee. AB, please bring on more cliff-hangers.

I did like the whimsical writing style. May it continue.

And thanks for the informative Story Tags. Apart from the things like 'failure to communicate' describing nicely the situation with the ex-wife, 'bad friend' and 'fake sex' provide a couple of teasers as to what may follow. (Although 'fake' sex does sound a bit improbable.)

Going well.

It's a five-page story, all five have been submitted. Being of limited mental acuity, I couldn't figure out how to submit all five pages at once without giving up control over page breaks. Mea culpa. I welcome any seasoned veteran's (or veterans') attempt to edumacate me.

One other matter: I counted words in a couple of dozen stories (using the tedious method of copying the page into MIcrosoft Word) and determined that the typical length (notice choice of mealy-mouthed term "typical" rather than the more precise "average"—well, to justify "precise" I suppose I should say "mean", "median", or "mode"—to avoid implying that I did any statistically valid calculations) of a Literotica page is 3000-3500 words. I realize that the sample may have been too small, and would further welcome any elucidation about a better (preferable, superior) length.

Page or so. Not quite a chapter, but good enough for a 4*.

I never realized that it mattered to anyone. Please explain that desire. You may have a good idea.

So I’m guess she’s WITH Rob now and it was all a setup?

I also like line lengths and paragraph spacing. It's one of those little foibles possessed of we with tidy minds. I always have the feeling that, as an author, I control the flow of the story that way.

But I'm also a card-carrying pedant with regard to spelling and grammar. As I said, tidy mind.

I have said before HDK, and I think that you may have also said something similar, that on a free site like Literotica an author writes for her/him self and if the readers happen to like it and say so, that's a bonus. So we'll allow AB his little foibles as well, shall we?

Ps: On the previous iteration of the site, it was possible for the author to see the final format with page spacing etc. When I made my most recent story submission, this feature was gone.

Now I am curious...pretty good set up...so let's see the next chapter.

"Buckeye Fan"

So far so good. You've got the hook in let's see if you can reel me in.

Why worry about page breaks? Put the whole story in one document, put chapter headings or whatever where you want a break in the action, and submit.

Damnit, I need to know what happened next! You've got me hooked!

So far, a pleasure to read. I'm interested in how Tom and Shelley were manipulated. I'm interested in how Tom's friends support him. I want to know how Shelley has lived after leaving Tom. Great start...Given the GMC love, I guess he won't be drivin' a hot rod Lincoln across the miles and miles of Texas. Thanks for this effort.

Too short and I hope you have a part 2 ready,if we have to wait for weeks your story gets forgotten

. . . using the code & n b s p ; but without the spaces won’t produce actual page breaks, but it does give the readers some help.

This was a fun story, but remember one thing: yes, GM makes pickups, but Ford builds trucks!

I am a writer, not a typesetter. I am not designing pages to "look" like anything other than a page covered with words. No one cares where the page breaks. You type to the end of the page and another pops up on which to type.

You read to the end of the page and there is this magic button there labeled, "next." You click on it and go to page two, or alternately, you can click on the numeral 2 down there. Almost all of us know how to do it. I have posted stories as long as 22 pages, and as short as one. I have never felt a single inclination to control where the page ended, or to make a 22, 19, 15, nine or eight page story into chapters. I posted a one chapter, 22 page story last week. Not one person has complained about the length or that my pages break awkwardly. I don't get it, either.

I don't normally like serials (at this length), if they are submitted several weeks apart. You have already stated that you have all 5 submitted, so I will patiently wait for the rest. I like what I've read so far, and really do enjoy the humor. Poor Hank...

Side note, I roughly estimate that every literotica "page" is about 8 typed pages in MS Word, based solely on reviewing my own submissions against the source Word docs. Hope that helps!

Deal me the next card. I'm all in for your series.

Like salted peanuts. Always need one more.

Have you not watched 'The Post' movie? Didn't your heart skip a beat when the linotype was set and everybody was on tenterhooks waiting and hoping? Then the command came, the button was pushed and the big press started rolling.

Now the typesetter is gone, and even the subeditor as well. Page layouts are a shambles. Spelling mistakes abound. Apostrophes appear in plurals randomly. Line lengths are all over the place.

And they call this progress. It's a small thing, but surely Literotica authors should be granted the right to select their own page breaks?

Ah well,

Lue

That's it? Not enough to get into and why break it up if it's all written? Submit the WHOLE thing as a story, if its broken into one page chapters, seem like a waste of time.

In less than one Lit page increments is incredibly irritating. Story seems off to a good start but the interval between tiny little parts detracts from the story.

It's impossible to know what's happening, not even enough to guess.

...Story Opener. Love most of your favourites list. 4+

Liked your story. Ya those Georgia Mountain Climbers are good till they puke on ya.

I was laughing my ass off after I got past Hank, looking in as a spectator at how really shitty life can get in one day.

The story is just another stupid "Oh I didn' t know. Well you wouildn't let me explain. Well, I was too mad to listen, and then I was too stupid to wonder why you did that. Yeah, and then I got mad that you wouldn't let me explain so I decided not to explain either. . . " Yadda, yadda, yadda.

The story is a complete fraud. She ditches her husband in one moment of misunderstanding, due to a setup by a psychopath, which psychopath she proceeds to fall in love with and start fucking and move in with!

Read it and weep. The author and his Rob character have very similar personality traits.

Looks like some pissed off annie who knows how to make anonymous comments, I wonder who, went off on you, there, dude. Don't let that deter you. That's just the price of posting here. You have decent scores, most people seem to like your work, and I like the parts I've read. Please keep posting.

I think you have two deeply flawed characters going, and I hope they grow and work it out, or come to an amicable parting. It looks like you're putting them back together, and I like that ending as well as any other. Better than most.

Yes, the tiny chapters was a mistake, but you can write! Keep it coming.

Very intriguing, good pace and good flow to your story, but damn...driving an f’n cheby. You ain’t right in the head, man. A Ford wouldn’t have left you stranded...this brings back memories of driving my mother-in-laws f’n Buick...that damn car left us stranded so many times that triple a refused to come get us...but that’s another story.

5 Stars!

This is just plain fun to read. By the way, I do Fords and Apple but copy on the stable genius. Ferchrissakes keep writing. This is really good stuff.

Yep his truck lives up to it's name.

Got Mechanic Coming

Good start to the story. Don’t have a problem with the length. Just click on next chapter
