  "I swear I just found everything I need. The sweat in your eyes, the blood in your veins are listening to me. Well, I want to wrap it up and swim in it until I drown. My moral standing is lying down. Nothing quite like the feel of something new. " So urlLink Clean Sheets have just accepted another of my erotic shorts.
I'm both pleased and a little cautious. On the positive side, they get something like 2000 hits a day over there, and that's plenty of exposure for my work. On the negative...well...I don't mind writing erotica, but I've always seen it as a fun distraction and an excellent chance to stretch my prose legs. I don't want people to see it as my field. I don't know. Sometimes I look at the erotic works that are out there and worry that it's basically glorified porn with very little merit.
But on the other hand, Fitz And Me , the story they're featuring next month, is a decent little piece of work. Or at least it was in its original form. I do have a little concern about the 900 words they killed before agreeing to display it. That's a hell of a chunk from a 4500 word short. But then, when they feature Rain in September, they're going to put it up uncut. It's a good deal shorter, and driven by prose rather than character.
So I can't complain about them fucking with that one, so to speak. The bottom line? They're just using me for sex. So shallow. What about my feelings, eh? I WANT A BABY, DAMN YOU!
Wait...that wasn't what I wanted to say at all. Where was I? Oh...yeah. I want to set myself a challenge and also get some more fictional content up on here, so I'm going to tempt you all with the promise of not one, but TWO BLOG EXCLUSIVES tomorrow. That's TWO BLOG EXCLUSIVES! I'll write an erotic short to warm up, and then try to nail a decent short story, a goal I haven't been able to achieve in months.
Then I'll post them both. If I'm not too ashamed of the results, that is.
