See how I keep using your name in stori...Hi Fiona!<br /><br />See how I keep using your name in stories? It's such a nice sounding name<br /><br />Funny you should say that what women want is "a warm place to come in." I would say that's also what men want, but maybe not in the way that you mean . . . <br /><br />Along with the double orgasms women also have the potential to experience pregnancy and childbirth. Men can;t visualize that, carrying a small human being around inside you symbiotically, day and night for several months and feeling it alive and active. What an amazing thing that must be to have a constant companion to life that way.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-73921399196336853742012-07-04T21:11:37.664-04:002012-07-04T21:11:37.664-04:00Hi Rose!
Welcome back! Thank you for reading wel...Hi Rose!<br /><br />Welcome back! Thank you for reading well and I agree with what you say about actors and writers. Sometimes when you see a performance or read a story you can feel if the actor or writer is having a lot of fun, or not. This was fun to write.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-30336413991187603012012-07-04T20:00:36.529-04:002012-07-04T20:00:36.529-04:00I think it's really funny that men spend so mu...I think it's really funny that men spend so much time wondering what women want. It's because they are so damn simple: a warm place to come in. End of story.<br /><br />Despite the whole not-being-able-to pee-in-the-woods-easily thing, I would never trade my parts for yours! Two words: multiple orgasms.<br /><br />And any time anyone says they "understand" a group of people as diverse as half the world's population, ignore them.Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-20512998406267637722012-07-04T10:19:22.435-04:002012-07-04T10:19:22.435-04:00Your teaser in ERWA's Parlor worked.

As for the story, well, I have to admit I was clenching my teeth at the beginning and wanted to do some serious dope-slapping on Karl the Arrogant. I was thinking, "WTF?" Well, in this day and age, what woman wouldn't? But you done good... he got his comeuppance and I think you were just as happy about that as I was.<br /><br />I think it's good storytelling when when an author can convince you that they might believe something he/she does *not* believe. It's like a talented and and lovable actor playing the part of a particularly nasty villain and making you hate the character.<br /><br />Thanks for a good read, Garce.<br /><br />Rose ;-)RMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038014883652311509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-36957043274455203102012-07-04T07:56:39.062-04:002012-07-04T07:56:39.062-04:00One more thing - of women aren't so bad!

Ah!
Now comes the fun part -
The sto...Hi Lisabet!<br /><br />Ah!<br /><br />Now comes the fun part -<br />The story as performance art.<br /><br />This isn;t the original story i tried to write which wasa story about a man trapped by bureaucracy. But I had too many problems with that story so I put this one together at the last minute. And then as I was typing it from my notebook it occurred to me - who is my audience? Women mostly, free spirited women. Are they going to like this story or will they grumble? I don't like to make readers grumble, especially after the time I said something here that got me flamed by a couple dozen women writers who are probably still convinced I'm a jerk. On the other hand - the theme is complaint and now the audience can participate too.<br /><br />Hey! I'm half way through Bangkok Noir and I love it. Its a very compelling, atmospheric book. Its definitely one of the best you've ever written and I'm so glad I bought it. I'm at the part where Ajarn's bar got shut down. It does give the reader a feeling of how things work in that part of the world.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-35972953203110361232012-07-04T01:08:06.612-04:002012-07-04T01:08:06.612-04:00Oh dear.
