Having been writing for a number of years both as a hobbyist and role-player, I've learned quite a few things. I've encountered different styles of dialogue, thought processes and character goals. I earned my way as a brief time as a writer of erotica with small publishers but have since veered off into the realm of my own fiction. While I've been developing characters and ideas for years, I've never really ever gotten all that far at actually writing them down...so...here's one small step to help remedy that problem of mine.

What I enjoy writing is what some might call folklore erotica or "monster fiction." There's (usually, I embark within modern yaoi, on occasion) always something supernatural going on whether the themes are heavy or light and I do have a tendency to favor a heavy dose of plot with psychological aspects. I explore many concepts like humanity, mortality, life-after-death, the possibility of bizarre evolution, slavery, abuse, suicide and anything else that forces a person to stop, think and actually feel for a change. Stories are not meant simply to make us feel joy and excitement, they're also a tool to help teach us important lessons or help us view things outside our own perspective. The path we walk is unfairly narrow, limited by the delusion of personal perception. We are constantly translating things we see and measuring them according to our own yardstick. I ask you to step away from that yardstick. To look at a story from the perspective of someone you might not fully understand so that, on their journey, it will slowly help for you to understand. That we are not all the same. That we need not be.

And that is likely the toughest lesson of all for any of us to learn.
