The Making of Gettin’ It

Originally, I had ideas for three stories this winter quarter: a short, a freebie, and a Christmas story. Somewhere along the way, real life got in the way and well, only the short is being released right now. (Never fear, the Christmas story will be released as a Valentine’s story and there will be a freebie somewhere between this story and the Valentine’s story.)

I pulled a story from the archives to write. It wasn’t an easy decision since there were so many but I chose one that I thought at the time wouldn’t take too much effort to edit. Clearly, I underestimated myself as usual. The original story was titled The Office and it centered around a girl cleaning an executive’s office at his work. Sounds familiar? Well, it is. That story was also the backdrop for a series some of you are already too familiar with:

You know I had to put this in here for shameless self-promotion.

Realizing that, I had to quickly make a decision. Should I proceed with the story as is and suffer comments and reviews on how “original” the story is? Or should start fresh and possibly delaying the release date? Well, as much as I like to take chances, I don’t like to be formulaic (that’s for you, Dan Brown) so I started semi-afresh. I twisted some things in the story and rewrote it. And rewrote. And rewrote. And rewrote.

As some of you may know by now, I’m not the typical erotica writer who releases a story every couple of weeks. I applaud those who do but that’s not my style. I guess I’m too much of a perfectionist. I also like to release quality work. The Erotic Intoxication, Vol I: Bad Girls was a good start but I also know if I had waited a bit, it could’ve been a better book. I took that very approach with the S&M series and well, the rest is history. The S&M series has been, by far, my most successful book(s).

On Monday (which would be today), I’ll release a sneak peek and maybe the cover of Gettin’ It. I had the book originally scheduled for release on Tuesday and I’m going to try to keep that deadline. If not Tuesday, definitely on Thursday. Either way, you’re getting a $0.99 book this week.

Thank you for being so wonderful and patient. I really appreciate it. I also thank those who took the time out to leave a written review for the S&M series. Your words have helped the books sell by the bundles. You totally rock my socks.

Sex and the Pregnant Diva: Why Do I Have Fire Crotch?

The interesting thing about being pregnant is that no one ever tells you all of the symptoms you’re going to experience. You see, in the first trimester, it was mainly morning sickness and trying to keep food down. It was also about adjusting to being pregnant even though you have so much bloat, you can rival a fat chick at the buffet table.

No one ever tells you about the more bullshit you’re going to experience during your second trimester. All the pain and just gross uncomfortable feelings all the damn time you’re going to have to grin and bear it. Lovely. Don’t you wish you were pregnant? Geez, I’m so looking forward to the loveliness in the third trimester.

Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing round ligament pain. For those who don’t know (or can’t remember) what that is, it’s pretty much when a woman’s uterus stretches to accommodate a growing fetus. The uterus is normally small, no bigger than a few fingers and it stretches to accommodate a watermelon. The pain, as I have learned, isn’t just centralized in my lower abdominal area; it spreads to my crotch.

Now I have to explain something. The crotch pain isn’t like when you pulled a muscle or even having too much sex. And despite the above picture, it’s not a burning sensation (that would be a sexy STI).  The crotch pain is inside and there’s no relief for it. No Tylenol, no amount of stretching, no praying to God-Buddha-Mohammad-Allah-Name-Your-Deity-Here will help you. You have to deal with it and what’s even more lovely? It occurs at any time of day and if you’re real lucky, it also occurs at night when you’re trying to sleep. Fun.

I don’t need to tell you whenever the fire crotch occurs, me and the Mr. aren’t even trying to have sex. In fact, sex would be the very least thing on my mind. Even though, it does make for a good cheesy porn line. (“Hey honey, do you mind putting my fire out with your big hose?”)

So far my fire crotch hasn’t been too bad but I’ll be lying if I said it didn’t affect me. It’s a little uncomfortable to walk at times and I’ve gotten used to sleeping with a pillow between my legs. I’m doing a lot more walking and I hope to start yoga again in a few weeks. Other than that, my pregnancy is progressing. My PYT (I’m a huge MJ fan so I’m sure you can figure out why I call the kid that) is doing somersaults and I can actually see it when he/she moves. Now that’s a feeling I don’t mind having.

And there you have it,

Has it really been that long?

Wow...that's pretty hot!

I just looked on the blog and my last entry was 11/22. Fuck. My bad. Usually, I’m not that lazy. I would blame it on being pregnant but honestly, I was just lazy.

I’m glad you’re still around. I’m still writing. I’m still pregnant. And I’m still horny. In other words, what else is new?

New postings coming soon starting tonight.

I hope all of you are doing wonderful and great. xoxoxo
