You're writing WHAT?! (gasp!!!)

 "Porn books?"( umm.....really?)

"Why don't you write about your life story instead?"

"You don't have to talk about that kind of stuff..."

"What will everyone think?"

Those are just a few of the questions I was asked yesterday evening. Was I bothered by the conversation? Not really. It is what it is. I have always walked to my own beat, which is why I find my life to be so interesting. Had I ever taken advice from those around me, I would have always lived a straight laced existence, which is boring in my opinion. Lol.

For every bad comment, I must say I hear a good one. Thanks to modern technology, I am constantly meeting people who share similar interests, support my endeavors, and have no problems embracing differences. It seems to me as though these newly met friends will be a tad more supportive than some of those closest to me. Now isn't that a shame?

Some of our journeys in life must be traveled alone. There will always be naysayers who will try to interfere, but it is up to us to remain inspired and eager to follow our own paths. Remember that the negativity is just as important as the positive influences. Eventually, you will become stronger because you learned to endure the hardships along the way.

late night thoughts...

Check out that curvy woman on the right.  :-)

I have worked as a singer/actor for the past 11 years. Currently, I'm rehearsing for a theatrical production that opens in two weeks. Besides entertaining, I am ALWAYS busy chasing after my family. We have three angels (one big boy and a boy/girl set of twins!).

As much as I love performing, I'm even more excited to see where writing will take me! As an entertainer, I am always taking direction, doing my best to make an entire company look good. When it comes to writing, I'M the boss! Everything that I do is based on my desires. It thrills me to think of this, but intimidates me at the same time.

So why is that such a scary thought? I can tell you why. For the first time, I will be seen for who I am, and not as a part of a unit. That means my success or failure will be solely based on what I deliver. I will be giving a part of myself away, and my thoughts will be put on display for everyone to see. That's huge!

Thanks to years of countless auditions, I know what is ahead of me. There will be plenty of times when I will hear "no". After submitting my work, I'll have those familiar questions racing through my mind. Will they like what I gave them? When will I hear from them? Will it be a yes or a no? Then there will be the days where I have to recover from rejection. Gosh. The very thought of starting on this unfamiliar path makes me cringe, but I have to pursue it. The challenge is what keeps me motivated.

So here's to chasing dreams!!! I hope all of you are doing the same.

His private dancer....

He first appeared three months ago, keeping a distance and watching me from the back of the dimly lit club. His subtle cues signified that I was the one he was interested in. First, he would stand when I walked out onto the stage. Once we made eye contact, he would take his seat and lean forward, watching my moves with great intensity. Nobody else mattered. I was instantly drawn to this handsome stranger, dancing wholeheartedly for his eyes only.

A month into his routine visits, my special guest made his move. I was standing center stage, slowly peeling a burgundy, fitted dress away from my body. Letting the dress fall to the floor, I glided forward, topless, wearing a black lace thong and matching colored stilettos. With eyes on him, I lowered myself to the floor and crawled to the platform's edge. As I moved forward, he stood up and walked to the front of the lounge. He stopped before me, tucked a folded note into my g-string, and turned to walk away. The brief contact from his hands caused a chill to course through my lower region. I slowly rose from the floor and called in his direction.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Home. I'd rather see you behind closed doors," he replied.

The sultry timbre in his voice was smooth and calm, but aggressive enough to pique my curiosity. He didn't stay long enough for me to ask his name. As he was walking away, the stranger glanced over his shoulder, gave a slight wave toward the stage, then headed for the exit. I continued my dance of seduction, swaying provocatively in front of my audience, and wondering about the note that was pressed against my side....









     

New to the fold.....

Hello! I'd like to start off by wishing the world a Happy New Year! Yay! I am an aspiring erotic fiction author. My resolution for 2013 is to become published! I guess that won't be so hard, will it? Um.......will it? Lol. I tend to look at things from a positive perspective, hoping that my diligence, persistence, and studying will eventually pay off. I know that things will take off slowly, being that I'm a newbie, but that is ok. I am HERE, I am WILLING to chase my dream, and I am READY for this new journey in my life. Here's to a new year, a new goal, and a new adventure!
