Oh, the feeling when I reach out with my toe and rub the dog between his shoulders and he lets out with that satisfied low groan…
I love you, dog.
Sex in writing
interesting article on the role of sex in stories. I’d argue that it’s as valid as any other aspect of the human experience, and it’s the writer’s call as to what part it plays in a story – if any.

We’re all monsters. Find one you can love.

The discoveries of love
Nothing says love like finding out your special person is… more than a little special at the February full moon— and still keeping your Valentine’s Day date a few days later.
Valentine’s Day (and Lupercalia) planning
In 2020, the February full moon is on Sunday, February 9, so if you have a date for February 14, they’re probably not a werewolf.
Not a lunar werewolf, anyway.
(If YOU’RE the werewolf, you’ve already taken this into account on your calendar.)
Love and writing
I’ve heard the advice that if you are contemplating writing a book, you’d better REALLY be in love with it, because you are going to be living with it in your life for a long, LONG time…
IMpure evil
A movie trailer has a character described as “pure evil.”
Now I want to write a character of impure evil. She’ll kill you, but you can fool around a little first.
Choices
Marry someone you love and who thinks you being a writer’s a good idea.

Domesticity
“We’ll just have to see how it goes,” she replied airily… which was not an entirely honest thing to say. Intelligent women know exactly how it will go, which is why so many of them can be found vomiting on the eves of their wedding.
