I don't think anyone could represent the spicier bits of my story as erotica, but, and I'm generally hopeful in this, that one can see the greater significance of the scene in developing the theme. I have NO interest in writing spice for spice's sake. I do, however, have a great interest in writing realistically about relationships, of which physical expression is a part.

I had a brilliant PHD tell me once, "I don't have time to read fiction," as if to say, "What a waste of time." I have a different view. While he was reading about Nuclear Physics, Fiction is where one can explore what is really important in life, participation with each other. I am hopeful that I've made some meager, futile attempt at that, but I suppose that's what this forum is for. But be assured, the story does have cool guy stuff to!! so it's not a couple of chicks sitting around complaining about how insensitive men are.

Please, should anyone read my submission, gimme all you got. "This sucks!" , "You're a pretentious ass", "um... your writing is dull and flat," "I'd rather read DCP's latest treatise on Egyptian artifacts and how Joseph Smith got it right" (or whatever it's called). But just tell me why. Not just that it sucks, but why does it suck.

However, if I disappear from the board for a while, it's to lick my wounds and practice, practice, practice. :)

Thoughts?


That so called "other" board may at this very minute be readying their trebuchet and loading it with both our words and that old piano from the Mesa 2nd Ward Primary.

As far as your writing goes, give us erotica or at least some useful attachments for a pleasure bot.

roflmao (I think that's how it goes)!!!!

Yeah, this won't be the last time I make one of these errors. I make them all the time. Like I said in a previous post, my spelling and grammar is often atroshus. Just one of my little quirks that makes me that much more loveable.

So, how do you spell unhunh? Uhuh? What means yes, and what means no?

You typically put dashes between them.

"Uh-huh" for yes, "uh-uh" (only two "h"s, not three) for no.

I have no problem with spelling and written words. I read words as pictures/characters, one line of them at once. The pronounciation is another business.

But... this uhn-huh-hhh is beyond my limits.
