The Bauble Pile

This is Lale Baize aka Coco Reed, writer and once co-author of Gamble with Fate. As of now, this is the first step to putting my goodies back online. Stay for a bit and enjoy what you find.

An Odd Thing

2/28/12

I have yet to post the new short story. If you follow my paper trail at all you won't be surprised by this admission as it is not on Fiction Press or Adult Fan Fiction. I still plan to share since I don't think anyone online really knows my "Heather" work (aka the hetero stuff haha.) The reason it's not up yet is because I'm not satisfied with it. Yes, I know this is just a blurb from a bigger universe and most likely won't even be in the larger work, but still...

I've come to some startling revelations about myself. I think I have "lost" my connection to hetero characters. Give me asexual and homosexual any day but try hetero? I sometimes find myself at a loss now for what these characters might think and feel when being intimate or pursuing a love interest. It's all very strange. It's not like I am a heterophobe, believe me, that's not the case at all *lecherous grin* but when it comes to romantic elements in writing, and it is between men and women, I seem to be all hands. A curious situation. I am blaming some current trends in literature. Every time I read something now it seems I roll my eyes or am left deeply unsatisfied by those elements. It makes me not want to do it in my own writing. Does that make sense? Probably not, but there you are.

We're Moving Right Along

As far as COB goes, it's going rather well. I've written close to 1000 words of new content, cut and changed  certain details. I'm only 100 pages or so into the novel, so many great things are still to come. There's even a new character thrown in, not a main character, he supplements a few things that needed to be addressed but were forgotten the first time around.

I am also working on a new short story, just for fun. It's practically writing itself so it might even be done today. If so, it'll be on Coco Reed's accounts. Look for "No King for the Crown" if you want something new to read and you're not one of those weird people that has an aversion to hetero stories...
