artist + writer.
I like to write about adorable as hell boys with long tresses of beautiful hair and the fantasies that have followed me around for years; sometimes I’ll write about women in situations.
Been writing and drawing since I was a kid, but I never tried my hand at more risqué art until I was 19 and more adult writings until I was about 23 and in both instances, I was having to teach myself on how to do it: I started drawing in the way I do now when I was 13. This isn’t to say i’m a late-bloomer, mind: I was aware of my sexual self from a young age and yet I grew up in a world that tells you that sexuality is wrong. I was a STEM student most of my life, too, so it wasn’t like I had much to choose from when dating started to become a reality. I grew up surrounded by overly religious messages and the belief that there was something wrong with my body for being naturally heavier: I was a “good girl” and yet I was painfully thin for my frame with anorexia and marks on my fingers and my wrists.
I’ve questioned my sexuality on and off again for years, going back and forth from bisexual to asexual before finally landing on pansexual and polyamorous.
But nothing has stopped me from being boy-crazy at heart, and it still won’t stop me from showing my love through the written word as well as through my art. I wrote my first short story at 6 years old, my first novella at 13, my first novel at 24, my first illustrated series at 26, and now I’m working on my first novel-length gay romance (with drawings!) at 29. My own passions have saved me from my own demise on more than one occasion.
With modern internet being so sanitized and inhuman now, I’m more or less at a crossroads now where I’m in need of a safe place to post and explore myself and feel like I’m not upsetting anyone by so much as writing a story.
I like to write long things and I like to read so my writing can admittedly be a bit of a handful: I’ve also been told that my writing is “androgynous”, in that you can tell this is a woman writing over time (I’ve literally lost count how many times I’ve been mistaken for a man at first glimpse). I identify as a woman but femininity doesn’t feel comfortable to me, though: I would rather have both feet in both the yin and the yang sides of life.
All the while, enjoy yourself here! I’m all about being yourself and having fun, and I’m glad I found Literotica when I did.
