Reality in Writing, Part Deux

I’ve continued to think on how best to handle writing about true life encounters. The issue I keep running up against is that my past relationships (even those that didn’t last more then a night or two) are all distinct in general, but specifics on encounters would be hard to get perfect. And if I am going to get creative with the details, then I am potentially defeating the purpose.

More recent adventures, for which the details can still be recalled with startling (and, at times, very distracting) clarity, I am hesitant to write about out of respect for my partners. Yes, this is a semi-anonymous blog, but I consider trust between my partner and I to be more then just important – it is integral. Changing names and details helps, but not enough to make me comfortable enough to write about it. Yet.

Of course, permission given, I can and will write. NE, a dear friend, has acquiesced so there may be some stories about her in the near future.
