Teaching Her a Lesson 8 & 9, early release (Patreon)

First things first, note that there are 2 stories attached below, so don't just download one file and stop there or part 10 will probably confuse you. 

Whew. So I wrote part 8 on Sunday, and I was like "Hmm, I want more. I need more out of this. Boo." So I dove right into part 9. A day for editing (and a little R&R) later, here we are. Part 8 picks up with the aftermath of Abbie's treacherous suggestion of neighbor/blackmailer Cassie Brown. On the second pass, I think I found it more fun than I'd thought it was, but individual tastes and all.

Now that we're like sixty or seventy thousand words into this, there's part of me that feels annoyed with myself that here we are, mc story five million and eight of random dude getting random thing and then every hot chick in his vicinity falls under the influence. But I am forgiving myself, because I am having too much fucking fun with it. Yeah, we're failing the reverse Bechdel here hard. (We might also be failing the regular Bechdel, but it's a first person male narrator, so I'll give myself a little leeway on that.) But I think I kinda like my little cast for the most part, better than I thought I would. (Ironic?) I feel like most of them have or are gaining their own voice, some nuance, and while we now have a ridiculous smorgasbord of women in here now, I think my fuzzy long-term vision has at least some purpose in mind for all of them. (Two purposes, I suppose.)

Anyway, happy July, I hope you're enjoying it. Warm greetings to our many new patrons, and rest assured, more to come!
