Writers In Writing (and other writing)

Hey Jo,
Some of the stories in this collection sound, as you say,'seriously quite hot'.
I am intrigued by your story and how the erotic nature of it will play out. Particularly given your fantastically grotesque descriptions of Mr Thomas. Love the suppository up a rectum simile!

You have evoked Dylan Thomas' style so beautifully with your writing. I like to teach my students about language and imagery with a lesson called Dylan Thomas Portraits.

I love your description, "The gigolo of juxtapositions, the seducer of sounds – Dylan, ‘Mr Thomas’ to him, drunkardly-dirty, hung over in the small doorway, is now looking at me." Fabulous stuff.

I shall have to order a copy of Open - in plain brown wrapper it would appear!

sounds interesting - I thought about writing erotica, too, but it turned out to be bizarrely satirical.

Thank you darling Jayne for your loveliest comments. As I say, I don't know if this story is erotic - I am turned on by brains, so I imagined what it would be like to meet Dylan Thomas and how ... disappointing it would be. Don't get your hopes up for too much of an erotic experience.... at least not with my story.

Cib, I think that might just be my problem. Writing erotica turns out to be a bizarre experience I can't really take seriously. Actually, it sounds so corny, that if I can't write about sex in a way that feels truly fresh, I feel like a porno-peddler. Maybe I'll post my masturbation scene from The Dreamcloth here next and you can let me know if it is bizarrely satirical or even just a little erotic.

Hi Joanne,

Just dropping by to get a taster of your story and your - possibly ashy - tea, and remind you & your friends to stop by Lust Bites to discuss the Open anthology today. I'm looking forward to getting an excerpt of your masturbation scene, too

Go on - throw us a bone...

Love,
Olivia

Hmm...interesting. I mean society in general doesn't really know to much about girl's sexual desire. I mean society know a lot about what us guys want (which is simple, find a hot cheek and get laid), but when it comes to girls, well society in general don't really what girls want at all.

So I have to say. it is...interesting

Cheers

OH JO, IN MY OPINION WHATEVER YOU TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD......... EROTIC, SEXY OR (SEXLESS) IS ALWAYS A GOOD READ. MY WORD YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS YOURSELF BRILLIANTLY AND WHEN I READ YOUR STORIES IT'S LIKE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU HAVING A GRAND CHAT.
SO THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.... GO FOR IT AND BEST OF LUCK.

BRILLIANT, ENTERTAINING READING, THANKS !

AS ALWAYS

HAHAHAHA I love it! Definitely not erotic, so far, but brilliantly, quirkily phrased, like delicious, incongruous POETRY!!!

Fantastic.

I absolutely admire and love how creative your writing is Jo. I am a huge fan you know and erotic to me is not just necessarily sex but the build up of intimacy between two parties. I can definitely see this story shaping into one of those and can't wait to read the rest.

I particularly love this line ‘Come closer now….’ I thought he’d say. But instead, from the grave of his ashtray, he lifts the still burning stub of an already-the-eighth-today cigarette and eases it in between two huge liver-spotted lips. Its mouth-piece disappears like a suppository up a rectum.

It gave me a chuckle and has forced me to go back to my English book to brush up on my descriptive adjective use for my own writing. You are truly brilliant!

Racing Write

Anyone who has ever written creatively will find the need to put sexuality (or sensuality) on the page. Even if they write in a different genre they will write an erotic episode (eventually) as a writing exercise (or so they will tell themselves. Most likely it is an undeniable need of expression).

Anyway.

Even the most well regarded authors fumble badly at times (all thumbs and mumbles) when producing sex scenes in their work. Each year I always look forward to the Bad Sex In Fiction Awards. In 2007 Norman Mailer won (posthumously) with an 'interesting' depiction of sex.

And we will all continue to engage in this act (of writing, though in privacy and so, so solitary with the comfort of a locked door and the sensual clickclack of our keyboard as our eager and loud companion).

Actually, I haven't written a sex scene since my last attempt at a novel. Oh, the memories (blush).
