Here's one that makes me all emotional just reading it! Have a great weekend!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><u><b>While The Bathtub Is Filling</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">by <span style="color: #cccccc;">Lana Hechtman Ayers</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The <span style="color: red;">mirror </span>reports that I am starting to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">resemble my <span style="color: red;">mother</span>, the way she looked</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">that time I went into her bedroom without knocking,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">saw her <span style="color: red;">breasts</span>: two weighted-down plastic bags,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">bloated, slow-swinging <span style="color: red;">pendulums</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I decided right then to die at eighteen,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in the prime of perkiness and elasticity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Last year, my mother showed me a fat <span style="color: red;">scar</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">where her left breast used to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It looked as if a <span style="color: red;">red snake</span> slithered</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">out of her <span style="color: red;">heart </span>and hid his head</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in the brush of her armpit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The longer I stared, the more I recognized</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">the creature above her belly for what is was: <span style="color: red;">life</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Nothing about <span style="color: red;">nakedness</span> was ever that lovely.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My mother’s survived this halving,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">that scar, a red brooch of honor</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">making me proud to be a <span style="color: red;">woman</span> like her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In a moment, when the bathtub is finally full,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I’ll forget the mirror, all these musings,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">lie back in the pale green bath,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and feel the warm water work its <span style="color: red;">magic</span>,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">making buoyant, bobbing apples</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">of <span style="color: red;">my two old gals</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This poem appears in Dance From Inside My Bones, published by Snake Nation Press, © 2007, Lana Hechtman Ayers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I must say that there is a certain <span style="color: #674ea7;">darkness</span> to the work that makes me love it so much! Additionally, and I'm no art academic, I just love what I love, but there's this sense of <span style="color: #674ea7;">body detachment</span> and sort of this struggle to find the light and sexuality within the darkness.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The terms "<span style="color: yellow;">urban art</span>", "guerrilla art", "<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">post-graffiti</span>" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.</span><br />

Many are <span style="color: red;">polyamourous</span> ones, so it behooves me to research and learn as much as I can about the topic.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A few weekends ago I went to a book presentation by author <a href="http://elisabethsheff.com/" target="_blank">Elisabeth Sheff </a>on her new nonfiction novel <span style="color: red;">The Polyamorist Next Door.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Purchase the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Polyamorists-Next-Door-Multiple-Partner-Relationships-ebook/dp/B00GZNDFTE/ref=la_B00E98J34S_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396281498&sr=1-1" target="_blank">here</a></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After the discussion, I had to buy the book! It was that amazing!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KvQsxPCYz0s/UzmUEB9PxdI/AAAAAAAAa2o/amfL2NRWg5w/s1600/0b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KvQsxPCYz0s/UzmUEB9PxdI/AAAAAAAAa2o/amfL2NRWg5w/s1600/0b.jpg" height="640" width="478" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The book is for people who are interested in how other families are raising kids and the alternative ways men and women love.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--_x9oARUP28/UzmUEBwLlYI/AAAAAAAAa2k/L_wj8meRR1U/s1600/0a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--_x9oARUP28/UzmUEBwLlYI/AAAAAAAAa2k/L_wj8meRR1U/s1600/0a.jpg" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There's a <span style="color: #cc0000;">science</span> to parts of the book where she actually did studies of <span style="color: #cc0000;">children</span>, families, etc who were involved in poly <span style="color: #cc0000;">communities</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Note the image behind her.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;">That's the symbol of Polyamory</span></b></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So what were some interesting tidbits I got from the discussion?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Kids of poly relationships thrive like other kids. One of the biggest <span style="color: #cc0000;">disadvantages</span> was that there were so many adults around that it was difficult to get over on their parents.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">Kids </span>also tend to grow up and decide for themselves what they will be--heterosexual, bi, poly, etc</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">There's a large poly community in <span style="color: red;">Seattle</span>.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">There was some interesting discussion on Race and the poly community. Many blacks found it to be crazy. The few that gave it a try sometimes felt like they were an <span style="color: #cc0000;">Exotic Novelty</span> verses Human Being (Black man with big cock, black woman just hot for everyone, etc)</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If this is a topic that is interesting to you, then you must grab the novel. I give it <span style="color: red;">FIVE</span> STARS!</span></div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That being said. . . This was <span style="color: #990000;">no 50 Shades of Grey </span>nor did it deal with a <span style="color: #660000;">love story</span>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The <span style="color: red;">sex </span>wasn't for shock. . .it was for something way deeper than I can even comprehend.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This was ART, <span style="color: red;">cinema art</span> in its purest film. The movie just happened to be about a girl who believes herself to be a nymphomaniac, and not just that. . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">She <span style="color: #990000;">despises </span>herself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So the director leaves it up to us, the viewers, to be her judge and jury.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">SO let me discuss this more. . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I love Menage Romances. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm a big believer that when it comes to my erotic romances. . .more men is better.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #990000;">But what is a Menage Romance?</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Mary at the blog Menage Whispers presented a great definition:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">Ménage à trois</span> is a French term which originally described a domestic arrangement in which three people having sexual relations occupy the same household – the phrase literally translates as “<span style="color: #990000;">household of three</span>." In contemporary usage, the meaning of the term has been extended to mean any living relationship between three people, <span style="color: #990000;">whether or not sex is involved</span>, but because it has also been extended to refer to the actual sexual act between <span style="color: #990000;">three people</span>, otherwise known as a threesome, the term retains its suggestive quality.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I wrote <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Flirting-Chaos-Kenya-Wright-ebook/dp/B00GRYE8RY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386364979&sr=8-1&keywords=flirting+with+chaos" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Flirting with Chaos</span></a>, I wanted a <span style="color: #990000;">dark hero</span>. He needed to be broken and tortured, good more than bad, but definitely bad too. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I needed to give the reader this <span style="color: #990000;">hopeless</span> hero and see if I could convince the reader that he was <span style="color: #990000;">deserving </span>of the heroine's love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Creating this guy takes <span style="color: #990000;">balls</span>. Big ones. I'm sad to say that at the beginning of writing the novel, I didn't have huge <span style="color: #990000;">testicles</span>. They were just little tiny ones that barely hung low at all and. . .ok that's <span style="color: #990000;">weird</span>. . .anyway. . .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I read lots of books with dark heroes in an attempt to <span style="color: #990000;">research</span> ones that were successful in the literary world. Here's my top dark heroes that helped me develop Jude.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sometimes you can read a work of fiction and completely<span style="color: #990000;"> change </span>your whole outlook on life. At one moment, your<span style="color: #990000;"> ideologies </span>are there. At the end of the book, they've jumped way over to the <span style="color: #990000;">opposite </span>side.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Not many <span style="color: #990000;">novels</span> have done that for me, but when they do, I rave about them. So here we go with the top <span style="color: #990000;">five</span> books that changed my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I learned that writing the regular erotic romance won't do. I have to dig deeper in my heart and explore my fears and desires like Megan Hart did when she wrote this book. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's an incredible read.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This is a masterpiece of <span style="color: #990000;">mega</span> proportions. The day I finished this novel was the day I stopped taking the rat race to riches too seriously.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Although I wasn't happy about the way this <span style="color: #990000;">story </span>ended, this novel is the reason why I started writing in the <span style="color: #990000;">New Adult</span> genre. I loved the addictive quality of the hero and heroine as well as the sort of edge of the seat <span style="color: #990000;">anxiety </span>in their decisions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This was so beautifully written. Their were several themes on<span style="color: #990000;"> beauty and love</span>. I really began thinking differently on those topics after reading this.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This book discusses the famous poet Basho who believed that the<span style="color: #990000;"> journey</span> to writing a book was way more important than the finished product. I keep that thinking with me always each time I write a <span style="color: #990000;">book</span>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Isn't that fucked up?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For a writer, it's disappointing and horrific that before someone gives your words and characters a chance. . .they judge your cover, something that is so outside of your creative process. . .it's <span style="color: #990000;">ridiculous</span>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">An <span style="color: #990000;">unexpected experiment</span> happened for me back in the fall of 2013 (so long ago). Amazon decided to finally <span style="color: #990000;">regulate ebooks</span> that they considered breaking their mature content rules. Basically, the site started deleting books that appeared to involve incest, <span style="color: #990000;">pedophilia</span>, bestiality, and all those things that pretty much <span style="color: #990000;">disgust</span> the normal population of people. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My novel <span style="color: #990000;">The Babysitter</span> was deleted because (I assume) it showed a "shadowy vagina" and because the woman looked like an <span style="color: #990000;">underage girl</span> with a teddy bear. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What is interesting is the next day I quickly grabbed a quick <span style="color: #990000;">stock image</span> that I believed represented the characters and the plot-line, then had an <span style="color: #990000;">artist</span> due the font.

<span style="font-size: large;">The best part about writing <span style="color: #990000;">rock star romances</span> is the research!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's so much more fun than other topics. I read tons of rock star biographies, memoirs, and authorbiographies to better develop my hero Jude in <span style="color: #990000;"><u><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Flirting-Chaos-Kenya-Wright-ebook/dp/B00GRYE8RY/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1386363897&sr=1-1&keywords=flirting+with+chaos" target="_blank">Flirting with Chaos</a></u></span>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't want a regular <span style="color: #990000;">alpha hero</span>. Sadly, that bores me at times. I needed him to be <span style="color: #990000;">dark</span>, twisted, yet so utterly lovable that the reader couldn't figure out if they <span style="color: #990000;">Hated</span> or <span style="color: #990000;">Loved</span> him, but they knew for sure they longed to hook up with him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During my reading of <span style="color: #990000;">rock stars</span>, I created a top three that just really blew my mind away. I read about eight, but really these three books still linger in my mind months later. So here we go. . .</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While writing The Muse, I researched the depiction of death in art and discovered this really insane artist that continues to push mega boundaries. His name is <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Gregor Schneider</b></span>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Why should you care about this dude?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well for die-hard fans of <span style="color: #990000;">The Muse</span>, this guy is as close to a real-life <span style="color: #cc0000;">HEX</span> as you're going to find. For those who haven't read the novel, Hex is a huge part of the story and the main dark artist who takes the heroine on a very wicked ride through <span style="color: #990000;">magic, death,</span> and <span style="color: #990000;">self-revelation</span>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I began reading up on <span style="color: #990000;">Gregor Schneider</span> due to all of these controversial articles he has in the press. The more I learned about him, the more the character <span style="color: #990000;">Hex Castillo</span> began to grown and start walking around in my head.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Sometimes in order for me to write about another </span><span style="font-size: large;">world</span><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">, I have to surround myself around other </span><span style="font-size: large;">worldly<span style="color: #741b47;"> things.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">Since I can't just project myself into </span><span style="font-size: large;">space</span><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">, lounge on a </span><span style="font-size: large;">moon crater</span><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">, and write away. . .I'm forced to discover crazy </span><span style="font-size: large;">musical tracks</span><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">, plug my headphones in my ears, and type away as the most odd things fill my ears.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I think of Vampire King Trilogy, I think of strange electronica with a sort of an 80s influence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Probably not what you figured huh? What happened is that the night before I sat down to write Escape, I saw the movie Drive and that soundtrack stuck in my head.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, the Vampire King Trilogy was supposed to be a simple little love story about vampires on earth. Nothing too big or complex. However, as I'm writing. . . suddenly my story is not on earth and these vampires are no where near what I'm used to. . .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><span style="color: #741b47;">The song </span>Nightcall<span style="color: #741b47;"> is why my Vampires can shift into a </span>king form</u></span><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u> that gives them horns and hoofs.</u></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The male voice in the song is so freaking scary, yet hot to me. I kept thinking. . .Romantic Monster. lol.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I asked my husband to read the first 5 chapters of my work-in-progress. It's an Interracial <span style="color: red;">Romance</span> set in <span style="color: red;">Tokyo</span>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what he said, </span><span style="font-size: large;">"Wow. You're </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">writing</span><span style="font-size: large;"> improves with each book. It's like I'm in Tokyo. However, you should make the hero less </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Rapey</span><span style="font-size: large;">."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was blown away. "What the fuck? <span style="color: red;">Rapey</span>? Please explain this."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">So he did. "You have this guy, invading the heroine's space upon meeting her, running his </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">fingers</span><span style="font-size: large;"> through her hair, saying things that </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">no rational</span><span style="font-size: large;"> male would say to any female he doesn't know, and. . .the guy is just </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">creepy</span><span style="font-size: large;">."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"No." I laughed. "That's romance."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Hell no! That's <span style="color: red;">rapey</span>."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Look. I've read tons of books where the <span style="color: red;">Alpha Hero</span> is a bit more than the typical guy."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Then you've read a lot of romance novels with Rapey guys."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a <span style="color: red;">hard</span> headed person so I made my darling husband <span style="color: red;">act out</span> the whole scene right there in our living room.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was the <span style="color: red;">heroine</span>. He was the <span style="color: red;">hero</span>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Boom. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We're in a <span style="color: red;">Tokyo</span> soapland (a brothel that bathes and provides sexual services to rich men). My hubby is a suspected yakuza gang leader. I'm a fast-talking fiction writer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We say the lines and do the actions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">What did I learn?</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">1- I need to re-write the freaking novel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2- I should act out all scenes with my husband! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">What do I need to learn?</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dear god why did I find the <span style="color: red;">hero</span> so attractive. He was perfect when he lived in black and white on my laptop screen? Out in the real world, not acceptable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">but why was this jerk off acceptable in the story?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have no idea. . .maybe I'm a sicko. . .maybe Rapey is in now. . .maybe I should change that. . .maybe I should not. . .</span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">However, I'm not <span style="color: red;">alone</span>.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So where am I going with discussion? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have no idea. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was just forced to realize that somewhere deep within my creative soul, I enjoy writing <span style="color: red;">Rapey Heroes</span>. I'm vowing to change this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Why? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm supposed to be a freaking feminist! Can feminists love Rapey Heroes? I doubt it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">but before I beat myself up, I need to understand why these novels are so popular and why have they captivated even me</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I mean there are a whole bunch of women and men out there who enjoy a Rapey hero from time to time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><u>So now I'm asking you all to help me understand this fascination with Rapey Heroes. . </u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you one of those readers that love a guy to go too far? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why or why not? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How far is too far for a Rapey Hero? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Would it be better if the Heroine raped the Hero?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Is Rape culture in romance, good or bad?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I read this book for a <span style="color: #990000;">Feminist Theory</span> class in college and it changed my life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Seriously.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It made me think<span style="color: #990000;"> differently </span>about being a woman. I knocked down several of my traditional notions of gender, motherhood, and even<span style="color: #990000;"> society</span> after this book.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It leans more on the academic side, but very <span style="color: #990000;">fascinating</span>. If you ever have the time and want to ponder <span style="color: #990000;">gender roles</span> in society, this is the book for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Peformance art</span> is fun because it <span style="color: #990000;">yanks</span> the viewer out of their comfort zones and forces them to look at the world, an <span style="color: #990000;">emotion</span>, or anything in a very different light.</b></span></div>

<br />
The leather straps constricted my wrists forcing me to endure the electric current soaring through my body. With each jolt of energy, the wires beneath my skin buzzed, sending a shrill throughout my core. Programmed to respond to pain, my body flung forward involuntarily.<br />
<br />
“Pain is a natural reaction,” they told us. “It’s a part of being human. It is something you will better understand once your human identity is finally installed.”<br />
<br />
But no matter how much I might look human, I was not.<br />
<br />
I was a Program, a machine built to appear human.<br />
<br />
The straps dug into my skin, tearing it slightly. I could feel the cold brushing against the metal surrounding the wires beneath the break. The tearing didn’t hurt, but my Program reacted as though it did. The scientists wanted to see how we react to pain. They wanted to believe we were capable of acting human.<br />
<br />
This body, this skin, it was a cover for what I truly was.<br />
<br />
“They do not have enough experience with your kind,” the White Coats said. “We just want to make sure you are safe out there. This is your world, too.”<br />
<br />
At least, that was what they told me.<br />
<br />
“Program Thirteen,” a harsh voice called from behind the glass. I could faintly make out a shadow of the man as he held his clipboard in his hand, carefully checking each box indicating I’d passed my daily inspection. I was making excellent progress, or so I’d heard.<br />
<br />
“Your Program is coming along quite nicely,” McVeigh had told me. “I can only imagine how well you will do once your human identity is programmed into your core.”<br />
<br />
I knew that McVeigh was happy with my progress here at Vesta Corp, but I did not comprehend much of what he said. What I did know was that as long as my treatments continued to work, I’d remain activated. I’d retain a purpose. That was all that mattered.<br />
<br />
Looking down, I could see that the leather straps were hanging down, no longer constricting my wrists. Even without the straps to hold me down, I did not move. I remained seated, waiting for a White Coat to come strolling in through the door. As I waited, I noticed that my skin where it had been torn from the pressure of the restraints was flapping around. I’d have to pay a visit to the doctor again so that she could tend to the tear.<br />
<br />
“You must find a way to fight the pain, Thirteen,” she’d tell me, just like she always did.<br />
<br />
And then I’d nod, because that was what I was expected to do.<br />
<br />
The truth was that I had no control over how my Program reacted to pain. Everything I did, everything I was – it was all controlled by the scientists. I didn’t choose to react. My Program, the one which they’d built, did. I twisted my wrist so that my palm was facing up, and I gazed down at the open skin. No blood. No bone. Only exposed metal.<br />

A cool breeze shook Mom’s rose bushes and the few hedges that surrounded one side of the patio. But when the wind stopped, the bushes didn’t. I froze staring into the darkness trying to see the threat that was waiting just to the side of my family home. I held my breath trying to decide whether or not to make a run for it. I couldn’t hesitate much longer. Rising slowly from the swing, I lingered again trying to judge the distance between the swings and the safety of the kitchen door.<br />

Can I make it before it gets me? IT! Coming outside again tonight was a bad idea.</blockquote>
