Hey Everyone!
June 23, 2009
Well, what can I say? I haven’t been here in a while.
The truth is, I haven’t had anything to say. Which is a stretch for me, believe me!
But seriously, there has been much going on in my life. I’ve never shared (because there has really been no need) but I have some health issues, that at times border on serious. They have been rearing their ugly little heads recently, so that has been my main priority. Just trying to deal with staying well can sometimes feel like a full time job.
On a happier note, I also just returned from Italy. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to go. Unfortunately, I was sick most of the time I was there, and quite frankly– that sucked! But it did give me new resolve toward putting more effort into my health. I can admit to not always being as diligent as I should be.
Having said that, spanking has not been far from my mind these last few months. On the contrary, I find myself craving it more than ever. But it’s not easy to find a like minded partner, and to date I’ve had no luck.
Sometimes it’s hard to write a blog such as this, because there are no real life scenarios to relay. It’s all about my fantasies, wishes and hopes. And my musings, which never really run dry. But writing about them could get a little redundant, if I were to write about them over and over!
I have started writing fiction again, trying to give it a serious effort. It is a bit frustrating for me, truthfully. I’ve sold some stories to Discipline and Desire, and I just love the editor. She has helped me to improve my writing by leaps and bounds, and I am forever grateful for that.
But the readership at D&D tends to be rather picky in their leanings. The stories that go over the best are a little too politically correct for my tastes, and since I’m writing spanking fiction, I don’t want to worry about being PC! To me, what makes great spanking fiction is the fact that it is so un-PC.
Do I want to live out the scenarios that I present in my more extreme works?
No. Unequivocally, no. They are fantasy. And that is what fantasy is all about. Exploring the darker, sometimes scary sides of ourselves.
Do I want spanking in my life? Yes. Do I want to find a man who will push my limits? Again, yes. Do I want to give up the kind of control that I take away from my heroines? Uh, no!
But I do like to write those sorts of situations…
What that says about me, I’m sure I have no idea. But I enjoy the process of creating, and I enjoy having this forum in which to vent and explore.
So to everyone who hangs out here, I just want to say thanks! And I’ll try and be around a little more often…
