ForgivenessThe hardest part of NaNo, and something I’ve been struggling with as a goal for this year, is forgiveness. As a writer, as an artist, I logically know that my vision isn’t going to just fall from me onto my screen in its perfect form conveying all the emotions and depth of feeling that I […]
There Are No More Wants, Only NeedsI wanted to be lazy. I wanted to watch TV all day in my pajamas. I wanted to write something, but not my novel. Anything else besides my damn novel. I wanted to clean my room, to unpack my suitcase, to wash clothes. I wanted to organize my rope, […]
RoutineIt was important for me to create a routine when it came to my writing. Having a lightweight netbook helped me to carry around my novel wherever I went, but it also gave me the illusion of always being able to write. But I couldn’t write when I was working. Or when I was driving. […]
Watch The CalendarNaNoWriMo gave me a set amount of time to write the first draft of a novel: thirty days. I thought about working on an existing piece I’d started a while back, but no. NaNoWriMo is about one novel and thirty days. This gave me two things I needed. 1- A set deadline and […]

~ erotica ~[Note: The following is an excerpt from my NaNoWriMo project. Enjoy…] I knelt on the ground, my head bent down, naked, waiting. He told me to wait. Told me he would be back. But when he’d be back I did not know. The chain around my neck, and it’s lock by the top […]
I guess this is going to be an ongoing random series, me talking about my poly life (or lack there of). 1) Pedestrian Polyamory So I now am listening to yet another polyamory podcast. This one came as recommendation from a friend and I am loving it. The podcast is called Pedestrian Polyamory. Our hosts […]

She stumbled over the uneven ground but always kept herself upright as he hurriedly led her to his favorite spot.
