Private Things, Public Things
I can’t believe I’m a contributor on yet another blog.
Catalina promised me that it would be relatively painless, so here I am.
Well, that’s a little simplistic actually.
I’m here mostly because I realized recently that one of the things the got me so obsessed with sex blogging four years ago when I started doing it at Waking Vixen was personal stories and personal connection.
In the course of those four years, I’ve become a professional blogger and maker of sex media, and that semi-anonymous blog has become the cornerstone of my little sex media empire. So I’ve gained a lot along the way, but I know I’ve also lost some things too.
My biggest loss has been my ability to just be purely social on the internet – the closest I get these days is Twitter. I don’t just have conversations for the sake of conversation anymore, I don’t really read that many personal sex blogs – and I don’t at all write about my personal sex life. As a result, I’m out of the loop of the fun parts of the internet and sex blogging – and very much all work all the time, which is no good.
Ok, this sounds a little more whiny than I want it to. My point is, I signed up to participate here because I want to get back in the groove of actually socializing online, and I want to read and talk to interesting sex bloggers instead of just focusing on news items and hunting for blog-worthy stuff (though I’m also open to suggestions on that front). So I’m going to make an effort to comment and hang out and all that stuff. If you want to get in touch, Twitter is best for quicky convos, email [dacia@wakingvixen.com] is next best. I don’t generally IM because it sucks the life out of me.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that you are here! I think that the commUNITY (that’s Lochai’s phrase) we have built here within our ranks is every bit as valuable as the audience we share.
Welcome and I hope it is (relatively) painless. I myself, like a little bit of pain. ;)

I’m glad to see you here, and hope we can all bring some laughter and inspiration to each other’s work, and lives.

[...] (because in many ways, I need another blog like I need a hole in my head), but in my first post, Private Things, Public Things, I write about why I signed up and what’s been missing from my experience of the sexy [...]
