This is kind of crazy, right? I mean I write about sex. My people have sex all the time, especially in Deep Diving. So what's different this time?
My girl this time, Lana, is a cougar. She knows what she wants and she goes out to get it. I think the liberating thing, for me, is that she's not after a relationship. For her, the relationship is the now. The sex. What she can do for the boys she picks up. How she can 'educate' them.
She knows what she's after and she's up-front about it.
She's strong.
As I'm writing, part of me wishes I was her. So strong, independent, courageous.
But deep down, is she alone, or lonely? You'd think so, wouldn't you...but I don't think Lana is. She seems above that.
I don't know anyone like this. I must be tapping into something inside of me to find her. It's incredible. This is the joy I get from writing - finding things that make me buzz.
As a society we admonish women like Lana. Makes me wonder how this story will go down!
How do you feel about Lana?
I bet she's a whiz at putting condoms on her partners, with her teeth... so with that covered - I feel just great about Lana! It will be fun to see what you do with her (eventually...)
ReplyDeleteActually, she lets them do it...much quicker for my story!
DeleteIt's such a long time between writing and publication, isn't it?
Thanks,
