The actual writing or drawing of erotica, or smut, as the intellectuals call it, is most often done at a table, desk or somesuch. But much of the work, done beforehand, can be done in any number of places.

I was taking the subway/elevated train home here in Chicago when I was writing Amaxena, for example. I would sit, with my notebook out, jotting down ideas and dialogue, with perhaps a very rough sketch.

The problem arose (sorry) when in pondering the current travail I was planning for poor Amaxena, I would become enthusiastic about her suffering. VISIBLY enthusiastic. I would need to make certain I stopped thinking about her before my station was called, else in standing other riders would see that I had a place to hang my hat, so to speak.

Now I'm forced to drive to work, which does allow me to ponder Erika's trials in private. The only danger is that I must take care to grab the right gear shift while shifting...

The delay comes as my scanner finally ceased functioning. I've purchased a replacement, but it will be coming by mail. Until I receive it I cannot do an update. I will try to have much ready when the scanner arrives. Beside the next Erika pages I will have a much requested galley picture.
