Pushing the envelope…

Dear Diary,

It’s amazing how much my life has changed after my heart attack. It’s also amazing how crazy I was living and how I had no idea how much I was pushing the envelope of life and death every day. It’s taking a lot of adapting to get myself to a saner level of living, but overall, I have to say I’m happier with the way my life is now.

Kind of.

As I looked at the stories I’ve written thus far, I realized how safe I’ve been playing the writing game. I mean, yes, I write erotic tales, but they are all more or less safe erotic tales that most people wouldn’t have a hard time digesting. The few times I ventured beyond that safe zone (Amore, Girl Fight, and Haunted, for example) seemed to garner one of two reactions from readers: they either loved the story or didn’t feel one way or another about it. No one reached out to tell me they hated any of them, though I’m sure some did.

Now when I write a typical erotic tale (like Devious Bitches, Paying His Debts, and No, Daddy! I’m Not Mommy!, for example) always get immediate attention and sales.

This sharp contrast caused me to think. If I wanted to make a decent amount of money, I should just stick to churning out typical erotica. If I wanted to have fun with writing, however, I needed to push the envelope and see how much I could get away with it. Maybe get banned by a distributor or something. 😄 This sounded like much more fun to me than sticking to cookie-cutter erotica and romance.

So, moving forward, that’s precisely what I will do. I mean, why not? I’ve already finished all my official releases until 2027, so anything that I craft I’ll simply release to my Patreon and Subscribestar.adult members and then to the rest of the world sometime later. Something tells me I will have a lot of fun with this. Something else tells me some of my readers will, too. 😏
