I haven’t yet touched on why I am writing this.
My goal was to post something every day for a year. Poetry, stories, stories about now and from the past, random thoughts, and whatever else interests me. Why? Partly because it forces me to write. It gives me an excuse to write. I want to be a writer. And, in the simplest and truest terms, a writer is one who writes. The brilliant friend you have who talks about the novel they are going to write any day now? Not a writer. The friend who keeps a daily diary detailing her inner most thoughts? She’s a writer.
What you won’t see: posts about what kind of smurf, cloud, 18th-century novel, Egyptian God/Goddess, or any other on-line test that tells me what piece furniture I likely to be reincarnated as. I think they’re cute but they’re really not for me. I may take a real personality test, like Myer-Briggs, and write about it, but that’s as far as I go.
That said, I am thinking of re-focusing this site more towards Domination and my thoughts/actions in that area. This would encompass removing (or restricting access to) all poetry, short stories, and autobiographical entries that don’t relate to it – which isn’t *that* much, considering how influential that aspect of my life is on who I am. What would be in it’s place? A more defined exploration of what D&S is, with specific examples given to illustrate my points. I’d likely go from daily updates to thrice-weekly. Despite how wonderful I think my poetry is, I can’t imagine it is as entertaining as reading about the best position to hold someone in while spanking them. Or discussing hot and cold; the difference (or lack of) in sensation of a mouth with an ice cube teasing a nipple, and a mouth filled with near-scalding hot water. Or what makes someone a good or bad Dom. Good or bad submissive. Why are some people switches? Why do even those who switch generally have a preference for one or the other?
What do you guys think? I’m going to mull it over this weekend and any thoughts would be welcome.
