Well, well. It was the perfect opening to the romance genre, which is not one I really like, although I am trying to give the genre a chance. I apparently write mostly relationships, not "romance" -- I don't hit the "beats." I was about to write it off with no comment (no sense criticizing people for stuff I don't read or write) when you got to Ben.

If you're really going to deal seriously with a man coming off of porn, and a woman trying to come back from doing porn, then I am definitely in for the ride. I have a similar sub-plot (promiscuous woman, porn consuming man) in my novella Down Pad. This is a BIG PROBLEM in our culture.

Yeah, my goal isn't to be irreverent, or write smut for smut's sake. I want to write a story about the damage it causes to everyone involved. It's been on my mind to write about for a while, and I feel like I might finally be at a place where I'm comfortable giving it a shot.

I was hoping to have it ready today or tomorrow, but, seeing as how I've only gotten a single paragraph written, I don't think that's gonna happen...

Slagging off Bruce and being a Smiths fan?! Not sure we can get past this, Josh 😁

Interesting start to this story so I’ll be intrigued to see where it goes. But, man, like you said, you must be juggling so many stories just now. Good luck with that 😆
