Writing, Writing and more Writing

Patience, patience... I haven't gotten anything new finished this week, but I'm working on it. I have an email writing buddy and we shoot emails back and forth containing segments of a story we're messing with. I've spent time, too, on Mike's Enlightenment (Ch. 2), a sizzling hot BDSM story to follow one I wrote last winter. That one will have my brother-in-law with a cameo role as someone's "pet," which I can't wait to write! If you're reading this and you know anything at all about my brother-in-law, then you'll understand why I'm looking forward to making him a submissive. >:) Bwahahahaha!

In addition to these writing endeavors, I'm also working on a story that I'd started a couple of months ago. That one I ended up scrapping, because, while I had all the sex scenes worked out, the beginning was puny and weak. So, I trashed the beginning and went after the story again, and now I've got the beginnings of a hot sex scene and a story that's going to really roll.

Bleeding Out a Story

In all honesty, writing and finishing a story truly isn't as bad as a slow bleed-out that drains the life force ounce by precious ounce. While I enjoy the process of writing, I also find immense satisfaction in having a story finished. I can close it out, content that it's the best it's going to be (after I red-pen it in the proofreading and editing process).

I finished a Jimmy/Arane story last night, and I'd like to think that this one is one of my best ones in this series. But, then again, I say that about all of them, though the critics and reviewers tend not to agree so much. This story's HOT! In fact, it's the first story I've written in a long time that's turned me on. That's all I can leave you with for now. My personal policy is, I don't post any story publicly before the "hero" has at least had the opportunity to read it.

So, now what? Well, first of all, I'm going to indulge my absolutely girly self and paint my nails. I just found an out-fucking-standing sale on China Glaze polish at Sally's and treated myself to a dazzling Red Pearl polish. Then, perhaps while my toenails are drying, I'll work on one of the other two stories I have in queue. One's been sitting dormant for nearly a year now, and the other... Well, I've got pretty much all the sex scenes worked out in my mind, but I'm considering scrapping the beginning. It feels weak to me, not at all something that would grab a reader. More later, dear readers. Girly arts are calling. :-)

Research, Research, Research

As an intrepid writer of erotica, I can appreciate the value of research. In addition to being well-written, I'm also an avid reader, and there's nothing that annoys me more than reading a book or story that's obviously poorly researched. Of course, the research for erotica is nothing if not highly enjoyable. My first published story, "Home for the Holidays," includes a scene in which I finger my lover's bum while giving him a blow job. Yet, I didn't actually do that to a guy until 20 months after that story was published. Incidentally, my real life guy enjoyed the experience considerably more than my fantasy guy; I think it would've killed a lesser man.

I'm currently working on a story, and the bulk of the story will have the female wearing a butt plug as she works as part of an anal training exercise. I'm not going into more detail than that. Well, I've done some anal play and there's a line of guys who'd happily take my ass virginity, but I haven't committed. Anyway, I wondered, would I truly be able to endure having a plug up my ass for hours at a time? Only one way to find out, so...

I made it over 3 1/2 hours (and this isn't no tiny plug, either, though it's far from the largest on the market). I got a lot of work done with it in, and after a while, I sort of forgot it was there. Even an orgasm, which usually makes it super tight and uncomfortable, wasn't bad. Well, of course the orgasm wasn't bad (is there such a thing as a bad O?), but the aftermath wasn't bad at all. One friend asked how I kept it in. Apparently, my butt muscles were working especially well today. That, and I had a thong on, which helped it stay in place.

When I have time to write some more on that story, I know that (1) it is possible to get stuff done while wearing a plug, and (2) it feels really damn good! A couple of other observations... From the moment I stuck it in, my nipples went extremely hard, puckering up as tight as I've ever seen them (like cold shower tight); and I stayed wet the entire time, which was erotic as hell. Now to find that one guy who can enjoy pleasuring all my holes...
