the smooth melodic tempo of his heart Serenaded my soul,
while the sensual rhythmic beats of his intellectual cadence Seduced my mind

maybe with Jesus as my DJ and God his Producer,
his song will be remixed with my Neo-Soul.
it could be the most beautiful song only we can hear
we'll dance until they say the song is over

Kinda Creepy

So, I'm on Facebook last night and write a status that says I just finished watching my favorite tv show and that I'm about to write some erotica. A guy I used to work with responds with something funny. This particular guy is not attractive to me although I was not oblivious to the fact that he was attracted to me. He was a pretty cool guy though so we used to hang out at work.

Getting to the point, he sends me a instant message asking the following question: "Do you get turned on by the things you write?" Followed by him explaining he has always wanted to ask someone who produced adult content this question. Good question, imo. I tell him yes. If it doesn't turn me on then how could it turn on my readers? He tells me he has writen a few of my stories even though they are marketed to his race. He likes them. I, being the vain artist that I am, love hearing this. Then he asks if I have ever stopped writing to take care of the horny feelings that occur. I've been asked this before and thought it also a good question. My response is no, I wait until after so that I don't break my thought process and lose the flow that I'm in.

Now for the creepy. He tells me that he's jacked off a few times while reading one of my stories. I'm feeling like eeewww dude! I know we cool but did I really need to know that? I respond with an "oh, ok." Then he goes even further with: I like knowing that you rub one out to your stories just like I do. We're both doing it, you know." Ok, now that even creepier b/c I can just picture this guy reading Silk, picturing me and him in story, jacking off, and wondering if I'm "rubbing one out" while he is.

I know this is pretty a much a "goes with the territory" kind of thing. I wouldn't be creeped out if it was some random fan sending an email. But I know this guy. Worked with him for months. Have his cell phone number in my phone. It's just creepy!

The Obsession

I got my novel back today from my editor (yeah I'm trying to make that sound all fancy like I'm a professional. My best friend has an English degree therefore she edits my stuff. lol! Can't knock a girl for trying.). She did a great job I must say. She caught little things that I didn't see and major things of course.

I have problems with descriptions and she made a few notes on how I can improve those. I was really excited when she pointed out places where my descriptions were really good. And when she pointed out things that she found really funny. So now I've just got to make some changes and my book will be ready for sale.

Disappointment

Okay, so I said I was over the whole writer's block thing and was going to finish the two series I was trying to write. Well, since then I have written....nothing. Let me clarify, not nothing. I did finish a short story that I started a long time ago which I will be posting in a few minutes. But I haven't felt motivated to finish writing the two I really want to write. Not sure what is wrong with me. I'm not sure what I need to do to fully motivate myself. I read one of the stories and just end up staring at the screen. I'm irritated with myself. So I'm going to do the second part of the writer's block quote and just start writing. Once I'm done, it may flow but it may help me redevelope the flow I orginally had on those stories. We'll see what happens.....
