Why is it that the best writing I have done is for the erotic novel? I didn’t even mean to start an erotic novel – it was just … there… and now when I look at all the writing I have done over this month… well it just makes me laugh (and kind of sad really). This project was meant to be a hobby, something to cheer me up and get my mind off other things. And, for the most part, it has been… I have 3 distinct novels started and 2 more back stories that may get their own novels… and somehow – the most well formed story I have is an erotic novel??? It couldn’t have been the psychological thriller? Or the funny, sweet, yet interesting, murder mystery? nooooo- it had to be the erotic, has nothing to do with anything but sex, kink, sensuality and fun… It wasn’t even meant to have a PLOT! But somehow it does… This is what Anne Rice must have felt like while writing the Beauty Series (now don’t get your panties in a bunch – I KNOW I’m no Anne Rice – but seriously – while she was writing the Beauty Series she had to think, “damn – when did this become a novel and not just a fun distraction?”  To be honest I have hundreds of fun little erotic short stories hidden away… none of them really have a plot outside of the scene that I am writing about… sigh… what is it that they say about tigers?
