 <\/p>\n

I was working on continuity in a book I’m trying to write. I moved a chapter or two around and thought nothing of it…<\/p>\n

Then I went back to work on those chapters and found that the contents have evaporated into the ether. Damn!<\/p>\n

I was just mildly annoyed, I’ve got at least a couple of backups and so while there might have been some data loss it’s not much.<\/p>\n

This led me to rethink a couple of things about the book and the way that I’ve been writing it.<\/p>\n

I’d started out writing this as pure smut. But as I’ve written, the characters have become more than automatons and I’ve been looking at their motivations. This has inevitably led to a story. The sex is still there and exciting, but the characters are more engaging now that they have a backstory and can stand alone without the backdrop of wild sex.<\/p>\n

I’m working now to stabilize the material that I have and then move forward by enhancing the characters motivations and better explaining how each one got from point A to point E by way of B,C,& D.<\/p>\n

In all I think the story will be richer and more engaging.<\/p>\n

As a close friend of mine has reminded me “Writing is Editing…<\/em>”<\/p>\n

As a break I was out in Palm Springs last night at the first meeting of a newly formed group. There was a nice flogging demonstration and another demonstration of an updated violet wand.<\/p>\n

Both demonstrations were instructive and I appreciate the demonstrators and the demonstratees!<\/p>\n

The line of people forming to BE<\/strong> flogged was gratifying.<\/p>\n

\"DSC<\/p>\n

My ego was also stroked a bit in that I was hit on by several people wanting to submit to whatever I might consider pleasurable. I love willing subs!<\/p>\n

I was far too interested in improving my flogging technique by observing the demonstration to actively pursue any of these generous offers. Perhaps I will accept an offer or two at the next event. I am looking forward to the next event, it was nice to be in a room with so many like minded individuals.<\/p>\n

I’m still surprised that I’m coming across as a “Daddy, Dom, Top, Master”. No, I’m not complaining I’m just fascinated, I’m not sure that I’m experienced enough to formally “Wear” these appellations. Then again maybe these titles are representative of who I am now and are well deserved. Time alone will tell, I can say that for the first time in my life I’m unafraid of those titles and the responsibility that they imply within the confines of the BDSM community.<\/p>\n

How does all of this tie into the book?<\/p>\n

Well there is a component of the book that deals with this alternative expression of sexuality.<\/p>\n
