More Oddities

Nudism (or naturalism) is fine, but no sex while naked? I found the comments particularly amusing. I'm sure naturalists feel it isn't a sexual thing, while so many others consider nudity arousing. (At least, with a physically attractive person present?)

Does that mean naturalists aren't into looking at pictures of naked people? Does that aspect of porn lose its appeal completely?

What about those who try to have the public (or not so public) nude sex parties/orgies? Will time spent in that condition eventually numb them to the experience of exposure? What would an exhibitionist do with no one to show anything to?

Great. I went there. Now I wonder if it'll pop up as a story in the future.

News of the interesting -

Prescription Ecstasy?

Yes, you're reading that right. It sounds like it just might work for some people who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I've heard a lot for the legalization of marijuana, but this one's new to me. Of course, if anyone does manage to get the law on board, it's sure to be a fiasco. Can't wait!

Bust-Enhancing Ringtone?

I don't know if I'm convinced yet, but I've never really thought about needing that. Listening to a 30 second ringtone (over time) can increase a bust up to 3 cm? Men everywhere would be stealing cell phones and downloading them purposefully, I'm sure. Hey... wait a minute ...

Finished!

I should apologize for not posting for a week or so. Everything's been quite busy - and I finished the novel.

It took a year and a half to complete, since I started writing it 1 November 2007 and finished 2 March 2009. I had the idea from mid-January 2007 with a short story that needs to be updated if it's really going to take place ten years after this novel. There is more about my main character's life and I could do sequels if I wanted. We'll just see how the first one goes.

Entwined has been the working title, and I still like it. It has 26 chapters and totals 84,611 words, fitting well within the 'adult novel' length. I know some of that will change with the next draft, since I need to restructure the beginning and I might need to add a little where I finished.

Now I get to make plans and start the next phase for this project. I was (okay, I still am a little) in shock that I really finished it, and I should just let it sit for a bit to get the right amount of distance to really dig in again and get it ready for publication.

Then I also need to decide where and how I want it published. Joy!
