pain easier
It's much easier to wear your pain on the outside.
nice book first-love
It's the fantasy of first love. If you've been married for 400 years, as I have, it's nice to experience first love again and you can vicariously through a book. And it is such a fantasy. It takes you away from doing the dishes and the laundry. I think of this as a contemporary romance rather than erotic fiction.
thinking stories love-story
I think women love to read love stories.
bars storytelling term
I've set the bar quite high in terms of storytelling.
writing uggs house
I'm looking forward to getting back to my house and my Ugg boots and not washing sometimes, and getting back to writing.
jobs children nice
Once you're in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it'd be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe.
stories
I came up with a story and I wrote it.
thinking fifty shade
I don't think [Fifty Shades of Grey is] a model for anything. Except maybe in bed.
struggle dark flames
The candle flame is too hot. It flickers and dances in the over-warm breeze, a breeze that brings no respite from the heat. Soft gossamer wings flutter to and fro in the dark, sprinkling dusty scaled in the circle of light. I'm struggling to resist, but I'm drawn. And then it's to bright, and I am flying too close to the sun, dazzled by the light, fried and melting from the heat, weary in my endeavers to stay airborn. I am so warm. The heat... It's stiffling, overpowering. It wakes me.
pain broken sadism
I cannot be with someone who takes pleasure in inflicting pain on me, someone who can't love me
rumba warming-up sequins
My inner goddes has her sequins on and is warming up to dance the rumba.
block writing thinking
I think virgins are far more interesting to write about. If we've been around the block a few times, we know what to expect. Not so with virgins.
nice book first-love
If you've been married for 400 years, as I have, it's nice to experience first love again and you can vicariously through a book.
sex love-you men
So you've just slept with him, given him your virginity, a man who doesn't love you. In fact, he has odd ideas about you, wants to make you some sort of kinky sex slave.
