Unsure.

So I have alot of stuff written but I'm not super certain which piece I should post next. I thought I might post this one, but when I read it to Aaron last night his feedback made me second guess it, so now I'm a little flustered.

I know I promised not to let his feedback deter me, that I would take it as constructive criticism and all, but the comment he made had made me really doubt what I'm doing.

Today as I was writing I felt alot more self conscious. I used the backspace alot more than usual and everything felt more difficult, less fun.

Even now, as I'm sitting here in my happy place, the porch, I'm unsettled.

I asked him to help me nail this certain character down, the one he's said he doesn't 'believe'. He said I don't understand male sexuality so I asked if he'd help me, go through this particular scene with me and help me re-write it.

We'll see.

So, IDK.

He also encouraged me to take my name off the blog, remove my picture and put up the disclaimer, so sorry for the heightened security folks. I think it's pretty fucking disgusting that we live in a country where fiction we write on a blog could cost us a job, or for that matter anything we do or say on facebook, even if it is perfectly LEGAL like that young teacher who was fired for having a picture of herself holding a beer? I would fight that all the way to the supreme court. Ridiculous.

So that's why the ADULT CONTENT warning, because some of my stuff is considerably less tame than a chick with a beer.

******************
Sorry. I spaced out there for a few minutes. I have nothing more to say really, so I'm gonna wrap this up.

Maybe I'll decide what to post later tonight or tomorrow. I have alot to think about.
