Why write?

I started writing after a break up. A girlfriend suggested I write a sort of diary from when things started to go wrong up to the actual split. It was supposed to be cathartic but I found that I couldn't be honest about my part in it and that I was making things up. So I ditched the whole project in favour of just making things up !

It got to the point in one of my stories that the characters needed a love scene so I wrote it and got a bit carried away, that's when I discovered that I enjoyed writing erotica.

Then I had to get a male perspective so I took it to the Wine Merchant (I live above the shop and we’re friends) and asked him if he'd read it and point out anything that I'd got badly wrong from a male point of view. So he sat on a stool and I sat on the table and I actually watched him get hard just from reading it.

That's when I found out I was actually good at it.

He was really embarrassed but it was such a thrill for me.

I'd like to make money one day from my writing. But for now, just having an outlet for the things that dance provocatively around in my head, brings me joy in this mortal realm. Hopefully it brings joy and else more to others.

Creative outlet, mostly

I've had a story in my head since I was 16 which I morbidly want to get out before I eventually die someday. My husband, who I've known since I was 18, enjoys my writing so it's a part of me he could still potentially have if it exists somewhere.
