by R. Richard on Sep 1, 2017
How To

Wyo_girl has written a fine and very useful article on the choice of words in erotic description. It was so good that I felt moved to reply and add a few thoughts.

After public speaking, expository writing has got to be the most hated class. There's a simple reason why.

When you'd grown up as I had, in a home where spending money was perhaps the greatest of all sins, in adulthood you sometimes found yourself breaking into a cold sweat when you had to buy the simplest of necessities, like tires for the family car or school supplies for the issue of your loins, your most precious children.
