Welcome to my official WordPress! This will be my official erotica writing blog and eventual web store. As I learn the ins and outs of the erotica genre and find my audience, I will do my darnedest to document as much as possible. You can learn more about me once I post an “ABOUT ME” page.

The best thing I can think of (and I have not attacked a blog since I was a sexy co-ed who couldn’t figure out how to attach her webcam to her magical orange iMac) is to list some objectives or goals of this site.

1.) To be accepting and inclusive of all fans of erotic romance, its sub-genres, and cross-genre incarnations.

2.) To “keep it classy and tight.” Meaning nothing concerning children and minors. Nothing involving bestialities (werewolves, dragons, vampires, aliens, and other mythical creatures exempted). But I will not write about people who want to make it with barnyard animals, aquatic life, or beloved family pets. Also, while erotica can be graphic, I endeavor to avoid the vulgar and overly disgusing.

3.) To document how stories develop from “conception” through the “writing process,” including story tools I personally use. (Campbell wheels, story generation cards, freewriting, chicken bones, interdimensional powdered Dorblaxian glands, what-have-you.)

4.) To promote discussion about positive representations of sexuality and relationships in erotic fiction. This means writing to include characters that accurately deal with gender roles, sexual orientations, and alternative lifestyles, not just “cis” and “heterosexual.” My goal is to write for the inclusion and acceptance of everyone.

5) To share my reviews of stories and novels I find intriguing and evocative.

Adding more than 5 goals at the outset would be overly ambitious. And though I enjoy writing, I cannot set myself up for failure. To quote a beloved comic, Maria Bamford, “I persist at half-steam.” The mixture of adult-onset ADHD, personal crisis management, and project deadline fulfillment that drag me face-first through the gravel and grit of life set me up to be “intermittent, irregular, and frustrating” to people who need constant and regular gratification.

I apologize if this blog and website fail to give you the exact experience you want. I am not in the business of pleasing all people all the time. I just write and hope. I do not need to bring out a set of brass balls and perform the “coffee is for closers” speech from Glengarry Glen Ross. (Although, now that I picture that performed by a 5′ 6″ woman with librarian glasses, it does make me curious).

Suppose you cannot at least be tolerant. In that case, you’ll be pruned politely from the comments section by a smiling and disinterested deity. If you need to comment negatively at any point, understand that this is supposed to be a place of support and promotion of creativity and acceptance. If you can’t follow the flow, shout your safety word and leave the floor.

XOXO
