Erotica – and other arousing themes

My graphic is to celebrate beautiful ladies and also the launch of Erotica on my menu.  I could have used a naked man, but I don’t have any drawings of naked men in my portfolio … at the moment.  I might to appease the ladies.

I’m not totally naked … I’m wearing a smile …

The NaNoWriMo in November was a time consuming but worthwhile exercise which I thoroughly enjoyed but it did take over the whole of November.  I received a Kindle Keyboard 3G for my birthday in November but was unable to use it until December because I was concentrating my efforts on the NaNoWriMo.  I downloaded a handful of books and as December got underway I decided I’d spend more time reading than writing.

I’ve read ‘Robinson Crusoe’ by Daniel Defoe for the first time since I was about 14.  It was written in the old style but I still enjoyed the tale.  The second book I chose to read was one I’d heard about over the years but never actually read until now, ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ by D.H. Lawrence.  This story is mentioned in so many writing reference books that it was a must for me.  The story appealed especially since I wanted to introduce an Erotica section to my menu.

It will be erotica as opposed to literary pornography, which being explicitly sexual in nature is quite a different type of writing.  I have two stories downloaded to get started so the sub-menu doesn’t look too bare ….  The first story is ‘Best Foot Forward’ which takes the reader on a train journey.  My second offering is ‘Windows of Opportunity’ and there is a strong hint in both ‘windows’ and ‘opportunity’.

If you do happen by and you’re over 18 please feel free to not only read my attempts at erotica, but also to leave me a comment.  If I don’t have any idea how I’m doing I’ll just have to go on feeling my way with the subject.

Another short story published

Are you coming in or what?

What could be the connection between this drawing from 1990 and this post?  None really, the drawing just reminds me of a time when I enjoyed the job I did.

My short story, ‘DEBT OF HONOUR’ is now published by Blurb.com in an anthology of short stories by the Darlington writing group, the Inkerman Writers.

The book is called, ‘CHRISTOPHE’S FAREWELL AND OTHER SHORT STORIES’.  There are sixteen stories in the anthology but I’m delighted to report that my own is the first in the book.  In itself that might not sound special, but it means that when the book is previewed my story can be read in it’s entirety.

I’m still coming down to earth from my NaNoWriMo experience so haven’t written much today.  My intention is to use my newly acquired Kindle for a couple of days and catch up on some reading.  I got my Kindle early in November and although I’ve downloaded a few books onto it I have yet to use it for longer than a few minutes.
