Hm, pondering posts. Yes, I just did one on Saturday, but this afternoon ( in my time zone) you get another one.
My Master was off at a gaming
convention for several days- He just got this morning. :D It's been
nice, He's used me twice in the last few hours and once I get this
written and posted, I'll be going to wake Him and hopefully get
another using lol.
Looking at that paragraph makes me
think about various things that happened on Facebook this weekend.
Now if you've read more than a post or a two of mine, you've no doubt
come across my thoughts on feminism. With how important equality is
to me, with how I believe so strongly in women's agency, in our
choices being supported, when I was a teenager just really starting
to learn about BDSM and feminist philosophy, I found an ideology that
wanted to police women's sexuality, that was NOT the supportive and
freeing belief set that I'd been taught feminism should be or even
was. While I haven't done much of my own research, it does appear
that the "feminist" page "Women, Action, and Media"
and some of its members are behind Facebook's unpublishing of
consensual BDSM pages. I did read a bit and found myself having to
read no more- one member of that group posted a long paragraph that I
will sum up as "BDSM is about violence- violence is always
wrong- there's no way BDSM can be consensual- women submissives who
say they consent are victims." Yup, I'm sure if He reads this
post, my Master will be glad He was away because I'd have ended up
venting at Him about that one. I am NOT a domestic abuse survivor. I
chose this life, being a lifestyle BDSM slave. I want this. I am
happy living this way. No, I'm not saying it's for everyone- neither
is my writing. But it is for me and for those who enjoy BDSM and
practice it safely. How dare this woman say that I can't consent to
this piece of my identity!
I'm getting ready for Camp Nanowrimo-
it was in 6.5 days last time I logged into the site. I'm so excited.
While I've participated in Nanowrimo in November 3 times (and won
each time), this will be my first Camp Nano. I'm writing a (planned
novella) calling it "Week-long." It's set in story time
after the completion of Vala's Story, so I won't be sharing any
excerpts from it as most will be surprise killers from the series.
However, my editor is working away at "Gates of the Garden: Book
Two" so I'm hoping I'll have that for you all to read. Please do
remember that I have written a series and you will need to read "Out
of the Night: Book One" before you read "Gates..." to
understand the story. Go to the "My Books" page for
purchasing information- print, Kindle, and Nook editions.
It's been awhile since I talked about
my 6 days of the week posting schedule, to help me get posting to
happen. With putting my dog to sleep the beginning of this month,
I've been totally off. In these days leading up to Camp Nano, I want
to focus hard on filling in the schedule, giving you a bunch of on
topic things to read. Of course, this means some debate especially on
Tuesdays. My goal for that day has been to give my readers short
stories written specifically for the blog. I'm not sure what I want
to write about. I've enjoyed filling out various time periods both
before and during "Out of the Night: Book One." I enjoyed
writing the story in which The Queen taught Kaya about prostate
massage using Ailin as the teaching tool. I'm still in the building
stages with this blog though- I think of my friend Anastasia Vitsky'sblog, where she has dozens of people commenting every day. She can
post asking for suggestions and have answers- I'm overjoyed if one
person comments on a blog post. I'd like to ask you all "What
topic, theme, kink etc I should write a short story on?" but I
can't trust that I'll get something- not saying that I wouldn't try
to write a short if someone posted a suggestion in the comments today
:D
oh and I was thinking on identity- almost forgot this one. I sometimes struggle with whether or not I should promote a blog post in this LGBT writers and readers group I'm in on Facebook. As I said it this weekend, what's a "queer identified, polyamory living, married and committed to a cisgender male in a D/s relationship supposed to do at a LGBT gathering?"
Okay, I'm done wandering for the
moment. Time to post this and go see about waking my Master. Yes, a
third using is my goal :)
