For me it usually starts with an image or situation. And then I try to expand the situation and wonder how someone could get themselves into that situation and how they might react once they are there.

Sometimes the story starts to get so overwhelming that it runs through my head constantly and the only way to clear my mind is to sit down and write it out.

For my story "The Contest" is started with the idea of how long could a guy keep a cup from hitting the floor using only an erection to hold it up. Then The idea of going to a party with a girl and discovering it was a CFNM party. And then I thought what if he was left tied up and naked and was found by someone the next morning.

Two themes run through my writing: Strong female characters and safe sex. Even in literature I try to curb unplanned pregnancy and the spread of STDs. I love strong women, in real life and in stories. My wife is my hero and I love her dearly.

I've generally stayed away from writing straight girl-on-girl after reading the stories from someone on here who's work I really enjoy. [link] Her Girl-on-Girl stories are amazing. Guy's don't read her stories at work, and women don't read them unless the chair you are sitting in has been scotch-guarded. You've been warned. She takes really cool pictures, too.

When I get a story finished it's a relief. It's out of my head and exists on it's own in the world and hopefully I can get more mental RAM space to think of more practical and useful things. But normally before too long my imagination will wander again, and I'll see an image or a situation will pop into my head and the process will begin again.

If only I could draw...
