Entering into the right mindset for an erotic author can be the easiest and hardest thing to do. With life's trials (money, kids, significant others, death/illness, etc.) we can't always "think erotic" especially if our particular brand of erotic often comes out as "Kinky Fuckery". Sometimes we need that influx of sweet romance and that overwhelming knowledge that we're loved.
Last night I was in a funk. I was stressed, concerned about doc bills, finances in general, and arguing with my 2 year old, I didn't get any of what I'd hoped to get done finished, my sales are about half what they were, and frankly I felt like an utter and complete failure. When my husband got home there was such an out-pouring of love that I was quickly pulled out of it.
Every opportunity he snuck a kiss, tweaked a body part, and essentially ignited up my libido. When he took me to bed there was gentle romance, building and building until finally neither of us could take it any longer and we erupted into it hard and strong. . . I'm sore today.
Sometimes love and sex can put you into a much better place, making you feel worthy or in an opposing view, burning your unworthiness away. Sometimes you need that kiss of love to strip away the life's shit and bring you back into focus, to allow you to write and enjoy what you're doing.
