I did it mainly to get me 'hungry' about writing again. As for writing 'smut'... as I said, it's not something I'd release to everyone, but if you're curious, let me know and I'll email you the fast fic I wrote. Just read it - it’s good advice.

(Feel free to wander around <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/budgie_uk/534913.html" rel="nofollow">the fast fictions I turned around last year</a>.) But yes, you will always get some people offended at sex or how it's written. My gut feel, although I've not written much, is for every person you'll offend, there'll be someone (more than one person, given the strength of the writing) who reads it and goes "Oh yes." It’s very nicely written - it’s a good job.

And despite the cut and the warning, I did have one person click, be offended, and then unfriend me for it! Yeah, I was a bit shy of posting this at first.

One of the <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/budgie_uk/534913.html" rel="nofollow"><b>fast fictions</b></a> I did last year, I wrote as a sex scene, purely to see if I could do it convincingly. Posted it, but only as a "private" post, but it was done according to the rules: four word title, one word to use during the story, 200 words exactly. Those who have seen it liked it, but don't honestly think I'd ever post it publicly. Just discovered this on the friendsfriends page.

It's just been a while since she won a couple of writing contests in high school... That plus having two kids can really throw a wrench in one's writing, wouldn't you say? ;-) Deanna S.
