I have a submissive he lives in the Keys we get together whenever my work and his permits normally we get together at least 2-3 times a month and I put him through his paces. The relationship is a work in progress sometimes things go smoothly other times there are a bumps here and their but for the most part things have been going smoothly. We seem to be compatible and sessions are definitely interesting.
The thing that makes me laugh about him is that one of his requirements is putting in a blog once a week. It can be on anything that meets his fancy about sessions together, things that happen in his life or just observations in day to day life. He hates it but once he gets it in it's always well written and coherent unlike his Ma'am blogs which occasionally make sense. He is a progressive thinker is my subby normally logical with an understanding of cause and effect. However he hasn't figured out yet that if the blog isn't in on time there are consequences. Not that he's an idiot he not he just hates writing and he will try to negotiate ways of putting it off as long as possible. Most of the time I find it amusing because he has learned or should have learned that there is no compromise on this they will be in and on time the only acceptable excuse is death either his or a close family member which he also understands.
His dead line is Thursday at 5 pm because I know that in his line of work Friday to Monday are his busiest time of the week. While studying yesterday before work we had one of our conversations about blogging. I cut him some slack this week because he was refinishing his home and was in the last stretch of replacing a really bad floor with weak spots, had a few meetings about a court case dealing with a faulty building and last but not least depositions and meetings with lawyers about the above case.
So yes this week I did compromise and told him it could be late this week, but it had to be in by Sunday no later then 5pm. The conversations started off pretty good he's been doing his stretching exercises to stretch specific areas for use as well as discussions on an up coming visit for a party here with a few of my friends. We hit on the high points of what the plans for the holidays are as well as when we would be meeting next and at the close of conversation came the usual reminder about the blog and I got the normal groan/moan and comment about the blog. Then the negotiations started with the stipulation that consequences would not be pleasant. Then the funny stuff started the Internet was down, he suddenly needed a nap he felt that he couldn't possibly continue because of his exhaustion and so on and so on. I explained gently that I would be more then happy to concede the extra day however there would be consequences to the deed but yes he could post Monday instead of Sunday.

He prefers knowing exactly what he is getting into and I am one to like to give him a surprise or two when it comes to punishments after all surprises are always a welcome event in ones life are they not? I know for a fact that he can't sit still for more then 20 minutes unless he is involved with something and even with involvement, it's an iffy proposition. He doesn't like the flicker whip which is one of the reasons I like it so much for the simple reason according to him "it gets his attention". He is also a male with pride, something that pleases me a great deal because he is a reflection on my teaching methods as well as on the way he will turn out. So as gently as I could I conceded the point of the blog and told him the consequences of not having it in on time. The profusion of Ma'am I have to get off the phone to do the blog like now was amusing to say the least. I laughed so hard I was crying. I gotta tell ya the boy can make me laugh. I had to rescind the stipulation that if you can make me laugh you won't get punished just because of him.

So now he's awaiting the consequences of his actions and what he has accomplished with procrastination.
