I was always a writer, even as a kid. Stories fascinated me and breaking apart and reshuffling their elements was often how I played.

Now, as a woman in my early thirties with a busy professional career that involves a lot of writing what other people need rather than what I want, I find writing is a great outlet for me to catch hold of the tread of an idea I find interesting, then spin it out into a complete web of interconnections.

For years, I wrote short plays, stories, songs, and occasionally pecked away at my novel as a personal hobby, with no real intention of publishing to an audience. My professional writing, even the more creative pieces, didn't touch on my interest in sex and sensuality. In April 2014, I posted my first story to Literotica.

I had been reading stories on Literotica for years but hadn't thought to write and post there myself. Through Literotica, I made friends with other writers like me, writers who love a great sex scene but love what it can be used to say about power, or compassion, or fear more. To the extent that I'm happy with what I write enough to offer it to other people, I owe to these friends and to working on my skills every day.
