I'm really touched.<br /><br />I appreciate your desire to also have your intimate scenes mean something. It's so easy today just to write stories about the sex act. We all know what bits go in which other bits. It's all perfunctory. I love the journey of getting to the ultimate contact almost more so than the actual act. And once 'those bits' make contact, it's usually not too long until the scene is over. And who wants great sex to end so quickly?! ;-)<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your feelings on writing erotica.Kemberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526177270694486600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046076121134055861.post-91190078984304350862012-07-18T14:50:12.046-04:002012-07-18T14:50:12.046-04:00Hee!

The author you featured today, moreover, is a vivid writer possessed of a definite gift, who spoke to me on a level I found astounding. One quote in particular stood out to me: <br />"Let me back up here and say I don’t like writing sex just for the sake of it. In my stories, sex has to mean something. The sex will be hot-t-t-t-t, but it won’t be gratuitous. That in itself may be the downfall of this particular erotica!" It spoke to me so much because my first novel, Undisclosed Desires, is classed as erotica. The sex scenes are ALL explicit, but they are not without content; each one serves a purpose to further the storyline and paint pictures for the audience. I didn't do it to shock or tease - I did it because the characters demanded that it be that way. Thank you for hosting Kemberlee on your blog; I will certainly be back to have a look around again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046076121134055861.post-31309380755967960032012-07-18T13:23:16.674-04:002012-07-18T13:23:16.674-04:00Hey Cowlady,

There is a city ordinance saying that ...Hi Miriam,<br /><br />There is a city ordinance saying that anyone who wants to wear heels over 2" high must obtain a permit. I believe this goes back to the 60s when heels started becoming very popular. The higher the better to some people. My hometown of Carmel-by-the-Sea is a funky little village of a place (though they call themselves a city). It's a place built into the forest. Pine and oak roots grow up through the cobbled and paved sidewalks and roads. As you can guess, a lot of people trip on them. The city thinks wearing heels makes injuries worse. The permit basically removes any blame on the city if the heel-wearer falls and breaks something. Before the ordinance, the city practically went broke with law suits.<br /><br />I wrote about this law in my novelette, Dude Looks Like A Lady.<br /><br />Carmel is the same town which once banned eating ice cream on the street. Shop-owners complained about the mess tourists left in their stores, dropped cones on the street then being tracked into shops, kids with sticky fingers ruining high-end merchandise . . . When Clint Eastwood became Mayor, he repealed that law before doing anything else.<br /><br />I wrote about that ordinance too in Tutti-Frutti Blues :-)<br /><br />Carmel has a few funky ordinances, many for good reason though, such as it being illegal to put neon signs in your window, not being allowed to cut down trees larger then 4 inches in diameter at any point, and at one point it was illegal to loiter in the town park! It's no wonder the town's people are known as being very eccentric. :-)Kemberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526177270694486600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046076121134055861.post-76933396253511964562012-07-18T09:30:27.638-04:002012-07-18T09:30:27.638-04:00Kemberlee, this looks great and you know I wish yo...Kemberlee, this looks great and you know I wish you the best with it. And now I have to ask. Why are high heels prohibited in your town? Too hard on the sidewalks? Noise pollution? You know...clack, clack, clack.
