The Birth of Kylie

Before I get into the contents of today's post, just a quick administrative comment. I've decided that in order to catch up for missing last week, Monday's and Wednesday's updates will have two captions instead of one (assuming nothing crazy happens, fingers crossed.) So that just leaves one more caption to take care of, which brings us back to today's update.

I've decided that after a year and a half of writing captions, it was about time I included myself in one. I've held off on doing this for so long because I've always felt that I could write a better story if I created completely new characters every time. It's the same reason I don't do sequels to my captions, I tell the story I want to tell and then I move on. But during these past two weeks I came up with an idea that I liked so much I was willing to break both of those patterns, her name was Kylie.

I've seen a lot of captions where the guy loses himself to a female persona (including some of which I've written myself.) So I started to think, what if he didn't disappear. What if instead of being trapped in the situation, it was more like he was stuck in the passenger seat. So I played around with the idea of having two personalities in one body, the usual sort of dominant/submissive relationship that would cause, but something didn't feel right. I had changed the general premise, but I was still writing the same stuff I always had. So I decided to have some fun with it. I gave it a more playful tone, and threw in a little sarcastic humor. The final piece of the puzzle came when I realized that instead of being just two people in one body, I could also make it two different bodies in one life. When one personality is in control the body is male, when the other takes over it's female. But both personalities are always present and can constantly comment on what the other is doing.

The decision to include myself came when I realized how much enjoyed this idea, and this was something that wasn't going to be a one time affair. I figured there wasn't any better way to ensure I'd do this series justice than to have a more personal stake in seeing it's done right. I hope you all enjoy it, because I can promise that this is just the beginning.

Mornings with Kylie

I'm still playing around with the idea of adding titles. I haven't found a way that I like yet, but don't be surprised if you see them start to show up here and there.

I haven't done a Kylie caption in a while, so I decided it was time for her to reappear and make my life a little more interesting once again. Not my best work, but I had a lot of fun writing it as I get write dialog and be sarcastic, which just happen to be two of my favorite activities.

For those of you who are new and unfamiliar with this little universe of mine, all you need to catch up can be found here. You can also click on the Kylie tag to see what other shenanigans the two of us get up to.

All Work and No Play?

Sometimes I really hate my brain. When I finally have a few days off to do nothing except write, of course I lose my motivation. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was writer's block, but most of what I tried to do really sucked. I really can't catch a break. Fortunately, I did manage to turn out a new Kylie caption for today, I hope some of you get a laugh out of it. The one positive point from my downtime was I managed to restock my image folder with around 50 new pics just waiting to be captioned for when I actually have the time and motivation to do so. I wonder if that will ever happen. Happy Monday everyone.

Kylie's Perspective

Happy Holidays Everyone! And to those of you who celebrate, Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy your present. It's been almost a month since I last did a Kylie caption, so I figured it was about time for her to make another appearance. Hopefully it'll give you a laugh or two.

From the way things are looking now, I'm going to try to start turning out new material on a regular basis again starting this week. I'm going to try to go back to the regular schedule, but if that doesn't work I'm still going to push for three new captions anyway. It's been too long since I was regularly writing new material for all you amazing readers, so it's time for me to get back on top of things.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy any festivities you're taking part in, even if that just means some quality time with our good friend the Internet. See you Monday.
