Who Knows Your Writing Secret?

Wow. I never even thought about keeping it a secret. Everyone knows I write and most everyone (anyone I've ever had a long conversation about my writing with) knows that I write homosexual romance novels. I don't talk a lot about my writing to anybody beyond the basics, because it always begins the homosexuality = sin debate (which is utter bullshit and any that had read a pre-tranlation version knows it whether they continue the lie or not.)

My husband knew the day I signed up, and I tried to get him to read some of the stories. But he only read fantasy novels, and likes live action porn. So I haven't made much leeway on that. Somehow he manged to get me to agree to play Minecraft with him during that conversation. Yeah, I think I lost that battle.
I have started sharing my writings with a few whose opinion I respect. And, I might tell a total stranger, someone I will never see again, just for their response. But I have no desire for everyone to know.
Nobody! I would die if my friends/family read my stories/blogs.
I'm only worried about what they think aesthetically speaking because as far as writing goes I agree with Oscar Wilde. I have told one friend who says he'll read a story I've written and say what he thinks but he hasn't yet. Consequently if anyone else would like to give my effort a perusal I'd be very grateful.
My two sisters know I have been writing erotica, but have only read very carefully selected passages. Two other people IRL have read one of my stories. other that that, only people online have read my work.
Nobody other than my Lush family knows I write erotica; everybody who knows me in real life knows I journal frequently. I assume after I'm dead and it all comes out what I realy wrote, many jaws will drop.
Funny, this forum got me thinking so this morning I sent my wife a suggestive erotic poem in an email. I told her to wait until her morning break to read it because I wanted her full attention. She emailed me an hour later telling me how much she loved it and that I should consider writing sensual cards. I replied by telling her "I'm thinking of writing erotica under a ghost name... what do you think?". She responded with "I think if you do that you can probably retire. Lots of horney people out there!"... oh, if she only knew!
Oh at least half a dozen people know. In fact, they outright encourage it.. I really only started writing erotica as an amusing troll for a few of my friends. I had so often said I could do better than half of what I saw. So they challenged me to ante up and I whipped off a few (pardon the pun) and they loved them. They're all very proud of me I think.

I got lots of suggestions back from them all and I wrote some more...and they started harassing me to publish them...well publish them on something other than my facebook Notes that is.



I'm actually just waiting to see if Lush will accept my first story here.

I have kept my story writing a secret. When I first started online stories it was partly because I wanted to rant about a long time on again/off again relationship that had been very hurtful and vengeful at times. Since then that changed drastically. We got back together and got married.

Nearly all of my stories are about me and my college friends. I have changed all the names but if any of my close friends stumble across my stories they will recognize them as our experiences right away and I will be so busted.

My wife would probably flood the site with stories of her own. And knowing my friends they would probably love it but I still prefer to keep this as my own little secret world away from all of them.

I've put a couple of friends in my stories, but so far only in non-sexual roles...it's a way to get them to read the stories, btw...

And what "writing secret" btw? Just saying...

nobody knows except for my amazing friends on lush. Oh wait, I don't have any friends besides the ones I have here, but it is fine because the best friends I have ever had are the ones from here =)
My lover knows and a close friend does. But that's it and that's all that will know.

I am not embarrassed by the fact that I write erotica so most people in my life know about it. My husband, my kids (who are all over 17), my parents, siblings, friends, and a few co-workers. It is a part of who I am and I don't feel the need to hide it from those that love me.

not sure of who does and who doesn't. It's not a big deal to me though. I wouldn't want my mother and family to know, but since I'm showing my face on here from time to time I'm not really surprised if some of my family and friends will find out.
My new friends knows but my childhood friends mostly don't. Also my man knows and he tells me from time to time that I should write more.
One or two that I know of, probably more who don't let on that they know. It doesn't really bother me who knows, as long as my family don't find our because they'd probably be alarmed at the stories, which are just a dark fantasy lurking about in my depraved head.
No one! I'm single, so no guilt there and my parents and family are ultra-conservative so i'd rather not risk giving them all heart attacks. My friends....well, if they asked, i'd tell them but i don't go blaring the secret out with a megaphone.
Only one person knows about my writing here. I think I'm a bit too shy to tell anyone else about it. But who knows? Maybe someday I will!

The only person who knows I write stories on here is my boyfriend.
No one except my girlfriend...everyone else just enjoys my work.
