Lately I've been wishing I just had one blog. Many of the sex bloggers know who I am, and my friends know I write a sex blog. I wonder who I am hiding from. I'm not afraid of people knowing that I write a sex blog. If you know me, you wouldn't be shocked, and some of you might even be impressed. While the e-husband has never seen the blog, he's read a decent amount of my stuff. He likes it. My boss loves erotica and she loves my writing too.
I never claimed that the sex blog was all true.
I wonder if I could write normal things as well as I write about fucking.
I've also considered stopping writing to both blogs and going anonymous. Writing about my life, 100% non-fiction, and throwing in the erotica tales. Other than my mother, of course, who the hell am I afraid of finding out??
This year I'm going to participate in NaNoWriMo and actually attempt to turn the erotica into a novel. I'm going to work out the details and story and such and then sit down and write bang it out (no pun intended). Who knows if it will be any good? Who knows if I can carry a story for 50K words? Who knows if I can pull off third person writing?
Is it erotica, or porn?? I guess that depends on my mood. It depends on your perspective. Maybe you will be offended by my language, or the content, or maybe you are not into some of the things that I find sexy. Some who know me personally will not be able to get past the fact that it's me writing it. Maybe I'm not pretty enough- maybe you think that big girls don't know what good sex is. Whatever. I write it because it channels my demons and sometimes quiets the bitchy voices in my head. The attention is nice. The people that I've met are amazing. It's given me a new confidence about mysself. Even if my dark side is twisted and nasty and sometimes a bit on the violent side, don't try to tell me you don't have a dark side. Everyone has a dark side.
I'm blogging about my blog. That's kind of ironic. One thing is for sure, I will be changing the URL soon. When I picked it, I had no idea that it would be as popular as it is, and I never thought that I would be a little uncomfortable giving it to people that I actually know. It reminds me of Princess Consuela Banana Hammock.
Sometimes you really gotta think these things through....

I've never seen your other blog, although I know that you write it since you've mentioned it here. Do you think the two blogs draw different "audiences", or maybe they represent different trains of thought?
If your writing in the other blog is drawing devoted followers, it sounds like turning it into a novel might be a good move. You probably have a good sense of what people like and respond to from the comments you've received. I say go for it!
