Marriage, Commitment, and Google Plus

I've been thinking a lot about marriage and commitment lately. Know what I've decided? They SUCK!

For the first time in my life I can see why so many men are commitment phobics, and why they avoid commitment and marriage. Duh.

Yes, I'm still married to Wes...at the moment. But he made some changes in his lifestyle three years ago I can't live with. Yes, he is very aware of how I feel about this. Yes, he knows our marriage is on thin ice. Very thin.

But don't worry, everyone. The SexWitch may have morphed in the last two weeks from a marrying kinda girl to a no-commitment girl. But I haven't change in all the important ways.

I mean, I haven't gone Alpha on you. *lol* I'm still a sweet, romantic, oversexed Beta chick, who lavishes her love and affection on her friends, readers/fans, and cats. Yes, I still believe in happy marriages and commitment for other people. Just not for me. And, yes, I still love to write romantic, erotica novels with sexy heroes that make my readers swoon.

None of that has changed.

But what has changed is my view of my personal life. These days I'm spreading my wings like a dragonfly and exploring the "No Commitment Zone."

So if you're a man, you need to know this. The SexWitch is no longer catchable when it comes to commitment or marriage. I'm running too fast. I don't care how good or how magically powerful you think you are, there's no way you can catch me now. None. Nada. It ain't happening.

See? I knew being a runner all these years would come in handy for something. *grin*

In other news, I joined the hot new social network Google Plus (G+) this week. One of my Pagan friends from Facebook and Twitter told me about it (thanks, Eric!), and I'm having a blast!

Google+ is only 3 weeks old, yet it's already grown to 20 million members. Wow. Every day I'm meeting awesome Pagans there. Not to mention there's a Google+ app for my iPhone.

Hey, any social site that can give me an app from the iTunes store for my iPhone is gonna see a lot of me. My iPhone is the handy, mini computer I take with me wherever I go, and I love how it makes my life and work easier.

Anyway, if you're at Google+ add me! I'm "Laura Stamps" there.

More news. I'm really cookin on my latest erotica vamp novella, "A Vampire's Desire." Since my last blog post I've fleshed out the hero and heroine, outlined the first 5 chapters, figured out the plot/conflict, and Chapters 1 and 2 are in first draft.

OMGoddess, this is gonna be one HAWT, romantic novella! Ravenmoon was such a minor secondary character in the three novels she has already appeared in that I didn't know much about her. Now that I do, I adore her. And this vamp hero is beyond sexy. A total panty-melt. Whew! *fans myself*

Okay, that's it for now. Hope you have an awesome week! You know what I'll be doing: grooving at Google+, writing hot vampire sex, and exploring the possibilities of the "No Commitment Zone."

One more thing. Lughnasadh is Saturday, so I wish a happy Sabbat ritual to all my Pagan fans and readers. As usual, I'll be dancing with my Fey in the forest shortly after midnight for my ritual, soaking up lots of awesome moon energy.

Uh-oh. Could be dangerous.... *Fey wink*

  1. Eh, marriage is overrated anyway. I'll be honest, if my husband didn't get kidney stones, I'd still be single! XD (he needed the insurance I get from my job)
