Writing about Sex

I write erotic romances with a storyline...not just sex...however, the sex is extremely important to the storyline or it wouldn't be an erotic romance. No shit Sherlock...*laughing at myself*.. I love to write sex scenes...love scenes, erotic scenes because they are fun and you can let your inhibitions go...fly away....and what is left is hopefully a real turn on for those who are reading it...including the one who wrote it.  I don't know about other authors...but if I'm not feeling it...i know i need to rewrite the scene or come back to it when I'm in a better place.   I can't imagine anyone could write like that and not be there...experiencing the moment....feeling what the characters feel.  I'm very visual...so i see it, feel it, and when I'm done...I'm like...Whew.....maybe i should read that again....  

Writing is still just a hobby for me....and it may always be just that....and because of that, I lead two very separate lives.....the erotic romance writer and the woman who holds a job, loves her family, and is a bit on the nutty side but no one would ever suspect writes sex scenes.   I like having two lives...being two people....I do not have a personality disorder - really I don't.  What I do have is an escape from reality that fuels me and makes me more balanced....everyone needs something to take them away when needed and that keeps them sane.  I think we all need to find that something....whatever it may be....that keeps us safe...that keeps us excited.....and that keeps us connected to our inner self....the part that no one knows but us....the piece of us that truly makes us who we are.  Thanks for listening.....

Erotic Romance...Just What The Doctor Ordered

Erotic romance could be just what the doctor ordered to perk up your relationship with your partner(s).  Reading just before bed, instead of putting you to sleep, could wake you up - wake you up to the wanton lust that lies in wait.  You may let other things get in the way of your sexual needs, making you feel that you have lost your desire....however...you haven't.  Sometimes you just need a little jump start.  Reading an erotic romance can be just the jump start that you need...and you can read it out loud to your partner who can also benefit from the sensuality that lies within the pages of my stories as well as other authors.  Like anything else, you just have to find what works for you.  For those of you who are alone......you are never alone with a good book.  Enjoy yourself....get to know your body and lose yourself in your need for an orgasm.  There really isn't anything better when you feel you are one with another or yourself.  Whatever avenue you take to get to where you need to go....go for it.  Enjoy!

Tweet Tweet

Okay...I'm a bit obsessed with Twitter right now, but I' sure in time I'll get over it....won't I?  Anyway, I am now being followed by 11 followers....one being Emilio Estevez....yes, the other Sheen...Charlie's brother - actually Emilio was famous before Charlie....loved him in the Breakfast Club.  So, I'm following a number of celebrity's including Emilio, Charlie, and it's fun....now of course, they only tweet what they want you to know....like things mostly relating to websites they would like you to visit and promotional information...however, there is something to be said for getting a message from a "Star".....oh, how we love our "Stars"......quite a phenomenon ...when you think about it.....actually a little scary...but it has been that way since the beginning of time....everyone always wanted to be associated or know about those who had the money, the power, the class, and/or the looks/charisma..... so I guess we all aren't so different....it's just that we have access to so many more ways to invade a person's privacy....not something anyone should take lightly.  Twitter and Facebook encourage the peeper in all of us.....not something my grandmother would be happy about...but then again, there are so many things she doesn't get when it comes to why we have to know everything about what is happening now and who it is happening to...now - regardless of where we live or how it impacts or does not impact us.  Oh, well.....I'm a peeper tweeter freak...and I am encouraged to be one.   One of these blogs I'll get back to talking about my writing.  I did submit my story last night....I'll let you know when it gets published.  I like it much better than my last.  With each new story...I just keep getting better and better.....if I dont' believe in myself....like, who will...right?

Cubicles

Last night there were no dreams...just sleep...and there really is something to be said for that.  So, today I'm at work and writing my blog before I get started.  It's great to have a job where you have an office with a door.....everyone needs a little privacy to update their blog, take a power nap, and/or just make a quick wardrobe adjustment.  For those in cubicles....I feel for you....I was part of a cubicle city too at one point and I must say...listening to the guy in the next cubby cut his nails was something I will never forget.....or just knowing I had to whisper and that people were straining to hear what I said....that made me crazy.  Anyway, I think companies today are stupid for having cubicles.....either put people in an open area where they can actually interact or put them in offices - interior ones are fine.  It makes for a very hostile environment - these cubicles.  Well......enough about that.  Tonight, I will finish my first paranormal story - the first of many I hope.  Gotta go....someone is a knocking on my door!

Dreaming of Flying

Last night I dreamed I was flying.  It was a magnificent dream and one that have now and again.  When I do, I hate waking up from it because it's so real.  I am usually wearing a long, sheer, navy blue dress that clings to my figure as I twirl and then lift off the ground into the darkness of the night sky.  The night air blows through my long hair like the fingers of a comb to untangle my thoughts.....giving me not only the physical freedom I long for but the key to unshackling my inhibitions.  I can actually feel the cool air on my body, the feeling of nothingness beneath my feet and the power generating through my body as I leave the earth.  I have always had vivid dreams.  I've been able to wake up and go back into a dream and sometimes I've summoned dreams that came to me when I needed them.  The most fun is when I know I'm dreaming and I can manipulate my dreams......those are the ones that I try to stay in as long as possible.....but something draws me out of them.....and I usually wake up smiling.   I sometimes think my dreams are just another doorway into a world as real as the one I live in....and that someday when my body tires of this one....I will simply slip into a dream.....and then I can fly until I slip into another dream.....and so on.....

Twitter It Is!

Well...I decided to give Twitter a try.  I've heard so much about it, but never gave it too much thought.  However, now that I've tried it....I must say....I really like it.  I only have 4 followers from The Voice...but it's still cool.  I've added some others and I kind of like receiving their updates.  I'm not sure what this means for me....like why am I changing how I look at everything?  Whatever the reason, I'm online and in touch so to speak with many different people.  I think I may have to write a story about this....how once you tweet on twitter  you can never communicate without it again.....things begin to happen.....hmmmmm....  Oh, well.... anyway I am about ready to submit my story about the Klawinken....Octavia's Time....It's short but has lots of sex and of course.....a happily ever after ending.  Thinking I may write one eventually that is more on the darker side.....we'll see.  Lots of idea, never enough time.  To those of you who Tweet......Happy Tweeting....see you on the other side......

I think I Know Where My Time Goes

I don't know about you, but for me time is flying by so fast I can can hardly get my head around what happened yesterday or the day before that.  I keep wondering why....I mean it really isn't moving any faster or slower since the beginning of time....but for me.....there aren't enough hours in the day.  I am somewhat organized, but I think my problem is that I love to daydream....possibly why I love to write.  I can listen to music on my headphones for hours and during that time I'm a character in one of my stories or a new story or one that may never get written but entertains me.  I can't be alone whenever I would like, but I do seek out alone time.  I think we all need it.  However, my alone time goes so fast that I feel my life is moving along on super high speed.  I'm also enjoying watching television more...and that takes up time too.  I've been watching Camelot on STARZ and HBO's Game of Thrones..... and we mustn't forget The Voice....the coaches are absolutely adorable - I like all four of them.  Ceelo and Adam seem to mesh well.....I think if Christina weren't in the middle of Blake and Ceelo...that Blake and Ceelo would be funnier together....Christina is an inigma...she's the Queen and those men are just part of her court.....Maybe I'll daydream about me being The Voice the next time I dim the room, close my eyes....and let my imagination run wild.  Now, if I could only sing :)

One Reviewer

Well, I suppose it was bound to happen.  One reviewer didn't like my story, "Submission of Innocence".  It did make me feel bad for a bit and then I thought, well, you just can't please everyone.  If nothing else, I went back to "Hard to Resist" and made a few rewrites that I knew it needed.  So, regardless of the review, let it inspire you and not bring you down. 

I'm feeling better and better about "Hard to Resist".  The edits are good and ones I've been thinking about - only thing holding me back was the time it would take - but time is nothing compared to an excellent read.  I am also beginning a new story called, "Kayla's Teachers".  It's going to be different than my first two stories because it will not only be about M/F but also F/F, F/F/M, and F/M/M.  My mind is already swimming with ideas.  I can't wait to really get into this story.
