Sara, I'm so glad your mom is doing better! 
Jim, I've heard all about New Jersey from the truckers I know. Everyone hates it lol.. your boss is nuts. Is your legal driving time still lifted or back in place now?
I've been on sick leave this week, but I'm cleared to go back to work. I work 2 days and then I'm on my actual scheduled vacation, lol woohoo! Wine for me!

What are some of the weirdest things you've Googled to write your stories?
I was laughing about this today. I've looked up a few fetishes, porn statistics, knife fighting, basic geography and weather of various locations, language translations, addiction basics, and homesteading... and that's just for erotica stories in the past year.

I love comps. Even when I don't enter them, they float me ideas and keep me fresh so I don't just stop writing altogether. Plugging away at one now. It doesn't feel exceptional but it's light and lightness right now is what I need.
Vanessa, I struggle with titles. You've seen how bland most of mine are?! Literally, this new one I'm writing is called Untitled right now.
One of my best friends came over the other night. Having both social distanced for a month, we couldn't handle it anymore. We talked (and drank) for hours before she mentioned her interest in writing. I referred her to my amazing editing teacher and then we talked writing for a long time. She knows I write erotica but hilariously, she didn't know what a giant writing dork I am in all areas. Now she wants me to teach a class, lol.
Life has been so much lately, I guess I needed the reminder that I love this stuff.
Y'all are prolific and all in my queue. TG has a fun one out on the front page now, actually.

Only a week?
For me, Sprite is one of those people who drives the site. She was a rockstar when I started here and still is. There are a few writers whose work allowed me explore and understand my own sexual orientation and that the boundaries of what's sexy aren't solid. She's one of them. She's funny but serious, strong but vulnerable, deep but light, intense but chill, and she's fiercely passionate and compassionate.
Love you.

I'm glad you went! Some workshops are more like a celebration of writing and too nice to be constructive. Sounds like you got a good one.
Take what you heard, learn it, breathe it, and forget it when you write. Use it when you edit. Otherwise you'll never be able to do it again. That was my experience anyway. I constantly read published work as well, to get me out of my head and keep my writing more fresh.

Let's put it like this: If your family and friends know, and are okay, with the fact you write erotica, then I can understand why you think I am over-cautious.
On the other hand, if your writing is a dark secret, something you do furtively behind closed doors, then you will probably understand the mental place that I'm coming from.
I love how honest you are. I do understand that mental place. I used to live there but have since moved out. Maybe it's because my personal life and lush have shared spaces at times, I don't know. But anyone I've been intimate with can know about my erotica, I don't care. The fact that I write in general just isn't something that usually comes up though.
I doubt they'd see it in the amount of erotic shorts out there unless they're avid readers. Even then, if they're avid readers they may make that connection.
Be proud of your work.

I miss smoking, but quitting was one of the best decisions of my life. I urge all the smokers I know to quit. Even weed... you can bake it or do the candy or whatever instead. I have a real fear of not being able to breathe, for whatever reason, and I can't stand the thought of anyone I know going through that.
anyway, I'm on the verge of house hunting again. Wish me luck.

Thank you to everyone for all the responses. It's continually insightful with each comment.
Just to let anyone know who might be reading, and is somewhat skeptical of the idea, I don't mean potential friendship or romance judging from how someone has written their story. That might well be possible, but all I mean is would you be tempted towards or curious about sexual interaction with the author because there was something in the writing that intrigued you.
Nope. I'm more interested in the writer as a person sometimes, but I'm not ready to throw my panties at them.

So, yeah, Eilish is a strange choice, but I'm hopeful. I just pray Zimmer doesn't overcook things in the soundtrack, like he did on Interstellar.
Hey, hey, you leave my Hans out of this. Ignore that soundtrack, too. That never happened.
Chardonnay, please.

I'm just sitting here watching the boob tube, something called Into the Wild. It's pretty good.
Ooh, Into the Wild! What'd you think? It's not climbed into my favorites, but into my memories--and I've got the memory of a damn gnat, so that's saying something. I did find it interesting and it was one of a handful of influences that created my renewed interest in hiking and adventuring.
Vanessa, I'm so sorry about your kitty. It's never easy, but especially when you've had them for so long.
The comp was really fun. I usually discover or rediscover a writer during these things and this time was no different. Some serious gems twinkling in there, and a few I haven't read yet but definitely will.
Coffee for me, then I'm off to yoga.

Thing is that I am not a particularly sexual person, and I more just wanted to challenge myself by writing things of this nature. Does experiencing more in real life help with this?
Writing erotica has really helped me expand my sexual horizons and be comfortable with my sexuality, but I don't think my sexual exploits have helped my writing. Be descriptive about the sex, but beyond that, I think it's about the same as other stories.
