This is just a short post to tell about my goings on. As any of you know who have followed my writing over the past decade, I disappeared last year.
I burned out. I felt like I was forcing my stories rather than enjoying them. I was also disappointed that my first collection of erotica was persona non grata on nearly every publishing platform. When society is struggling to come to terms with the sexual abuse, harassment and assault of so many women, banning non-consensual erotica is easy virtue signalling for any platform. So, rather than write erotic short stories, I wrote and completed my first upmarket/mainstream novel. After finishing my novel, I got back to my first love, poetry, and have been writing and finishing long-languishing poems.
Seeing some new/old posts from Monocle has reawakened my enjoyment and interest in erotica. I’m not going to force myself to write. I’ll take my time and for the most part only write stories that grab me in some way. Also, I’m only going to share my stories with readers who like talking to me and talking about a genre that we all enjoy. I’m no longer interested in how many readers or hits the blog amasses. The stories will largely be password protected but, as I’ve written elsewhere, anyone can have a password who comments or corresponds.
I look forward to sharing new stories.

Very glad to see you back, and I look forward to seeing your posts, even if occasional. As you know, your erotic writing has been a principal inspiration to me, so it’s always exciting to see what you do next.
And be sure let me know what you do next. The inspiration is mutual. :)
Its good to have you back!
Also congrats on the novel, that’s quite the accomplishment.
I won’t lie, I don’t have much of an appreciation for poetry (in spite of the best efforts of english lit) but I do love hearing that your passion is back, and I look forward to whatever you bring.
Thanks Mic. Nice to hear from you again.
Congratulations on the novel. Where can we find it?
It’s good to see you back.
I especially enjoy the poems. So that’s a happy reader here.
If you enjoy poetry and erotic poetry in particular, be sure and visit this blogger.

Glad to hear you’re back. I enjoy your stories and think it’s great you’ll take your time writing them!
Thanks Frogmen. :)
Missed you and your writing. I should have password protected my writings and then I’d still be able to post here.
Not sure I get the connection between password protecting your writings and posting here, but maybe you’ll have to remind me. :) In any event, it’s nice to hear from long time readers.
I wrote some stories that should have been password protected. I had a couple of complaints that led to the site shutting me down. At least I still get to browse and comment.
You post some really good work. I’m especially liking the monocle shorts. I already have that password.
Sorry to hear that about your stories. Was it WordPress?
Yes, WordPress. They won’t forgive me.
I have resolved to comment now that you are back! 😁
Happy to see you return. Your work as ever…. Is missed.
Very keen to see the new stuff! Glad you’re back!
Thanks Meghan. :)
Erotic writer is back, looking forward for more inspiration.
Lots of love
❤️
Thanks Taurean. :) Any inspiration will be mutual.
Dark masculine energy landed! Yess
Nothing creative should be forced. You took the time you needed, to work on the things you needed to work on. And now, your are back. *busting out the champagne of joy*
It’s nice to be welcomed back. :)
Looking forward to reading. And commenting
