A kinky writer’s tool box

I guess all sorts come by this blog; some to read and explore, others a quick dip and I assume a few find themselves here by mistake. I don’t know. I only see stats. However, I expect there are few out there who are interested in writing, perhaps writing erotica, maybe kinky things. Here are a few helpful books if you are interested in finding out more about what’s involved. I wish … Read more…

#TickleMePink – Pin boards and Cinquains

For today’s Tickle Me Pink – I’ve gone all poetic. I’ve picked out some of my favourite pictures which relate to my latest release – Touched – and created a pinboard in Pinterest. Following a fun Saturday at a Smut UK event – where I met other writers, got attached to another author (via wrist and ankle cuffs), listened to some fab readings and poetry – I’m trying out a few cinquains. … Read more…

Making a conversation

When it comes to writing a little fiction, I’m inclined to be spontaneous. A burst of words spews out and takes shape on the page. Later, I massage them into something worthy and usable. Some fit together and merge into longer texts, a short story, a chapter…. some stay little, have a life of their own and linger detached….. here is one. **** “The housekeeper is not happy with the … Read more…

Honorific titles

There is a protocol when describing certain relationships to apply honorific titles.  In particular when referring to Dominants (or Dommes).  See, I did it just then.  I capitalised the first letter.

To begin with I … Read more…

Writing in layers

I do think I have a methodology. I write in layers, each one laid on top of the other until they blur into one complete book. Here are my … Read more…

Introducing the characters

Unless you start a book with a birth day, your characters are already fully fledged people with personalities and attributes. Plunging into their lives with little knowledge of their backgrounds, their pasts and influences, means there is a mystery about them. I’m not writing a biography, but somehow there needs to be a background development for each key character.  I need to unpeel the layers of an onion to expose … Read more…

Point of View

I wrote the first book – Trust Me to Know You –  from the first person point of view. Why?  Two reasons. I wanted the main character – Gemma –  to have an inner voice, which shows her as vulnerable and haunted. Additionally to present her desires and fears travelling hand in hand as she meets her paramount.  I also did not want to have the perspective of the other … Read more…
