I came across this very old TMI Tuesday while surfing around and since I just posted about how much music means to me, I thought I"d take a stab at this meme. After all, I"m quite sure you are hungry for more information on my musical obsession

I love music, any kind of music

I love music, just as long as it's groovin'

1. What's the most annoying song in the world?

That Paula somebody or other song that was the theme song to...

Scary Monster

My daughter took this and the juxtaposition of my so-called "killer" Pitbull next to her long time guard dog, Beasley, was too adorable.

On Loving Writing and Trading It All

I love to write. I am never more at peace, more in tune with myself and more relaxed than when I am writing. Over time, I've found that I have two very distinct branches in my writing – poetry and prose. There is my poetry which is deeply personal and often wrenching to write. I've cried while writing poems, I've laughed and I've raged. There are poems I've written that I cannot re-read no matter how long it has been since I wrote them. I've come to realize that poetry is my medium of...

My Weekend was Stolen, So Now I'm Stealing

I spent all weekend saving my bosses behind by working on a project that wasn't my responsibility and then trying to finish my own work on the projects I've undertaken for school and my writing clients, so I don't have a great BDSM piece prepared. I am now at work and waiting on edits, so I'm killing time with a meme…

26) Are you happy with the person you've become?

No, check out my poetry and you'll have all the answer you need.

27) What's a sound you hate; sound you love?

This Penis is Too Hot!

I came across this online and couldn't resist. Happy Friday!!!

Bound and Seized

I have epilepsy. My first seizure occurred when I was eleven years old at my great aunt's funeral. It was single most terrifying moment of my life. I tried to capture that moment in prose for a writing class:

I stood next to the grave site staring down at the coffin of a great aunt I had never met. The air was damp and heavy with promised rain. The scent of recently mowed grass tickled my nose. As the minister droned on extolling my great aunt's virtues, my stomach suddenly twisted and...

Kinky Reading

I received this quote of the day and I must say, I was thinking about anything other than books by the last word…

"O, there is lovely to feel a book, a good book, firm in the hand, for its fatness holds rich promise, and you are hot inside to think of good hours to come." - Richard Llewellyn

A Little Taste

I'm under multiple deadlines for today, so I'm posting a little taste of my current work in progress. It's a full-length novel that I'm calling Awakening. This is the first draft, it hasn't been edited yet so there may be errors, my apologies in advance …

Chapter 2 – Finding Herself

Evan Lane stepped out of the stacks leading to the back of the store and stopped short as he saw the newest member of the Romance Readers Book Club settled into one of the leather club chairs engrossed in whatever i...

Monday…

It's Monday and according to  my schedule, I usually post on something BDSM related unless my weekend gets out of hand. It did, for very personal reasons, but I am going to keep with the spirit of this blog. I've been up since 2 a.m. and am barely functional, but this poem was written some time ago and I thought it fit the theme. Though I want to say that I wrote it very early on in my exploration of the lifestyle and I no longer think the need twisted, but that is how I wrote it at the time ...
