Hi all!
So um...I'm a new lurker...with a reason (besides some of the obvious lol...I mean, come on - intrigue!)
So here's what happened:
I've been writing since around my tenth year on this planet. Most of my stuff has been sweet, chippy short stories or poetry. I branched out into novel ideas as an adult and kept with sweet fantasy...then it evolved to adult fantasy with ya elements. I worked on that for over 10 years when it stalled. Completely dead. I couldn't move an inch on it. What's beyond writer's block? Well, whatever it is, I had it. My mind somehow convinced my hands to just keep writing ideas it tossed out and that kept me practicing...but that stuff really sucked. So, just as I was about to pitch everything and accept the fact that I might as well get comfortable with the fact that I'd likely die as a WalMart greeter or fast food janitor (nothing wrong with that but it's not my life goal), a new idea hit me so hard it about knocked me off my feet...well, my chair since I was already sitting at the time. The idea entered my brain fully formed...characters, purpose, most of the plot AND a potential to add new stories if/as needed. I grabbed my trusty notepad, found scrivener (love that program!) and began researching to keep my mind focused. My only concern was that this new story had A LOT of erotic elements and I've neither read nor written much of either (by "much", I mean I read one trilogy I will not name because it was absolutely ridiculous...regardless of how popular it is. And OK, I may have dabbled in writing a few naughty limericks in college lol).
So, here I am...to learn and hopefully not make an arse out of myself.
Hi there!
