I only write captions here. I’m trying to expand my Tumblr into a website and having a lot of difficulty with it. Part of the issue of why I don’t post longer stories is that my posts are full of fucking typos. Every time I go back to read stuff, it’s just full of typos and grammar errors. So I’m really hesitant to post long form stuff, like long chapters a week apart or so, because I have a feeling I’ll have to go back in and do heavy editing to have it all mesh well. Makes me really self-conscious. Also, when I write something long – like a short story – it can take over an hour to read through it. Editing it can take up to five hours. It’s really exhausting. One day I hope to being able to have a paid editor at call.

Also, I do not write fanfic in any way, shape, or form. When I was in high school, I tried to write Gackt x Hyde fanfic and was so disgusted with myself that I deleted soon after. 

Don’t feel bad about guilty-pleasure fanfics. We’ve all been there, honey. We’ve all been there.

But it wasn’t a guilty pleasure thing… I didn’t find any pleasure in it at all. It’s just what every one else was doing in the fandom, so I tried it. I don’t even read fanfic. It makes me uncomfortable.

How so? Is it using someone else’s characters in naughty situations? Or was it the fact that you were writing about real people engaged in a naughty situation? Or both? Or something else?

All of that… it may be because I am a really private person, but the idea of putting some other real person in sexual situations that I imagine seems really weird. Even the idea of imagining porn stars in my own fantasy situations is weird. Also, because I’m an author, the idea of taking someone else’s character and repurposing them for my own perverted imagination seems like kind of a violation of some invisible writer’s code. I don’t think my view on this is standard, though.

I’m a rather secretive person, but I am in the mood to take a few questions. However, I will not be answering anything about my gender or sexuality. This is why. I am not ready to define myself yet. Opinions on butts, though, yeah for sure. Fire away.

I won’t be posting today…my phone won’t charge, so I didn’t have an alarm clock. Woke up late and I gotta run to the Verizon store before work. I’ll double up tomorrow for you guys. Sorry and thanks for reading! Don’t forget I have a random function on my Tumblr. Old might be new again!

One of my long time readers just messaged me stating there was a really obvious typo in one of my posts. I really really appreciate this.

I do want to reiterate that you guys are free to PM me with typos anytime you spot one. I hate typos and appreciate help in smiting them.

I feel like my writing is lacking lately. Any advice for improving?

I don’t have time to post today, sorry. I had a grant proposal I had to finish between two ten hour work days back to back. I haven’t even packed lunch for work and I gotta leave in like 15 minutes. I’m sorry guys, I’ll make it up to you tomorrow.

gayboykink – I’ll respond to your message then too.
