You guys make me feel extremely lazy. When it comes to my academic submissions, I'm all business and order. Everything has to be checked and rechecked. Then again, I'm generally working with the writings, ideas and thoughts of others combined with my own. But my poetry and my fiction, I'm sad to say that it is everywhere. I have an idea, a thought, an image, a phrase, and my mind just takes off. I may write notes here and there--which I generally can't find later. I live with it rolling around in my mind. Characters talk. Some things just don't go away. If I'm lucky and I get the time I can write it down. If I think that it is something that someone else might be able to decipher, I may write it to be shared. I could be so much more productive if I were more organized.

Writing erotica is freeing. It is so nice to not have to censor myself, infer intimacy and sprinkle things with innuendo. When I was in grad school I did a reading and a friend actually used the word "smut" as a description. Hurt me to my heart because I thought that it was the most unpretentious, honest piece I had ever wrote. And, people loved it. It changed things though. I drew a line between what I like to write and what I had to write right then. I'm still figuring out how to apply the same rules of organization to what I want to write.
