The written word

Yes, I know... I have not posted for a week.

Throw me up against a wall and spray me with whipped cream -- I'm a bad Minx. *Hangs head dolefully*

The real world has a tendency to interrupt my life. My blogging life, that is. Ugh.

I have had some time to blog, I've commented hither, and occasionally thither, but I haven't been inspired to write a proper post. This is not what I consider a proper post. This is me fawning at you and begging you all not to desert me completely... At least, not so far. Who knows what might develop as i babble on...

I did find some shiny new sexy links this week, some of which I detail below. It's amazing, I keep finding different blogs that appeal to me, some sexy (in terms of content; they're all sexy in terms of style), some less so, but all good, linkworthy and well-written.

If I may digress from my fawning for a moment and rant a little... well-written is the key for me. It's what makes my nerve-endings tingle, and what pulls me back over and over again to the same blog, hungry for more of this or that person's wordsmithery. (It is a word, Doug, I just made it up, so I should know.)

I was introduced to Doug, via the Gnat's Trumpet (also a marvelous writer with an inexplicable penchant for cliffhangers, and a deathwish apparently, if you go by any of his recent comments... not least from your truly), and then Doug introduced me to Indeterminacy who is a most appealing writer with a very different site. Minerva, she of the inspirational touch, I first met through a previous incarnation that legality forbids me from mentioning, but was the most powerful erotic writing I have ever encountered, before or since. And one of the newest erotica links in the Minxy blogroll is to the Spirit... who writes beautifully. Go look... go!

It seems to work out that most of my favourite erotica writers are women (despite my being straight, with a penchant for an MFM threesome). It's just the way it is, mostly because the majority of erotica writers seem to be women. No I'm not saying that all erotica writers are women. That would be untrue, and to use the British vernacular, utter bollocks. The male writers of erotica whom I read are all spectacular. Apropos of which, much deserving of a mention, and a welcome back since his server went AWOL, is Mr Easily Aroused, who seems to live up to his name, although it isn't hard. Or is it? Fnaar, fnaar.

I love reading good writing. I always have. I just wish I had more time in which to do it.

Naturally, I also love writing. It seems to be just about all I do. My work involves me using my writing, editing and publishing skills. My hobbies include writing comedy and now drama (yes! I'm writing a play!). In my spare time, I write this blog, and I write emails, and I chat online -- more writing. My fingers are getting the keyboard workout of their lives. And my soul is fulfilled.

I don't know how I managed to live my life without writing for me. I did... for too long. But I could never -- can never -- will never stop.

So please hang in there. I'll get back to writing proper posts soon. Promise.
