Oh, glorious shutdown...

...glorious, glorious shutdown.  The company I work for has a 2 week shutdown every year and it is always something I really look forward to.  Even more so this year because I had to work the first week (last week) but get the following 2 weeks off - plus the extra day which is bank holiday Monday!!

I plan lots of writing, gaming, gyming, sorting out, reading etc for these 2 weeks and I gotta admit, it has been a great start.  Today is Wednesday - the 3rd day of my first week of this glorious shutdown...and so far I have managed to look at future writing projects and already begin to gather and start them.  I have upped my promotion of my self published book, 'Love or Suicide and the Life in-between' by sending a couple of copies out - one to The Samaritans and one to The Writing Magazine.  Really looked at my Twitter and Blogger friends and streamlined/added to focus on Authors and like-minded people.  I am happily gaming and gyming away - playing Rage on the PS3 and Splinter Cell Conviction on the X-Box whilst spending my early mornings kicking ass in the gym.  I am just about to finish a book I have been given by the Managing Director of the company I work for to read, before I start on Fifty Shades Darker - yes, even I have been caught up in all this Fifty Shades bollocks.  Gotta say, I have never hated, loved, been intrigued, wanted to burn, sympathised, been shocked, couldn't put down - a book as much as I have with Fifty Shades Of Grey!!!  So, like I said - it has been a great start!!

So, a quick teaser for my future projects.  At the moment I have 4 on the go (which includes 'Love or Suicide...'), they all follow the same sort of feel and look.  The 4 projects are:

1. 'Love or Suicide and the Life in-between'
2. 'Life and Death'
3. 'Sex'
4. 'Oh Such Sweet Words' (work in progress title)

The first 3 are my "Existence" trilogy - dealing with Love, Suicide, Life, Death and Sex.  Number 4 will be a tribute - an ode if you like - to words, writing and the worlds you can create and destroy with them.  I am actually very excited about every single one of these projects and my goal is to find a publisher for 2-4 - that will of course come later and depend on how well promoted and received 'Love or Suicide...' is.

So for now, have a read below of a cheeky little number from 'Sex' - enjoy!! ;-)


The Anticipation

The silent crackling of candles sway in the room,
their light rolling over soft curves lost in lingerie,
there she is; stretched out and alone...waiting,
the sweet smell of anticipation heating the air.

She blushes as the silk babydoll brushes her skin
sending tiny pulses throughout her wanting body
and forcing her eyes shut, her mouth slightly open
and shivers of anticipation down her arched spine.

Almost instinctively, she begins to sway,
her being now independent from her mind
as her hips begin to rock and tighten forwards
and a sudden heat of anticipation builds within.

Her hands want to explore and touch,
her sensitivity wants to spread and expose,
her innocence wants to be gone and be free,
her anticipation wants forever and satisfaction.

Opening her eyes, excitement floods her senses
as she watches herself gorge on tender skin,
naughty sinful thoughts flashing deep inside,
and an anticipation of what's to come.

She knows her man will be home very soon,
she knows it is her night of control,
just the sheer thought sending waves crashing
and her soul drowning in pure anticipation.

The silent crackling of candles sway in the room,
as a rush of air sends them rolling over hot curves,
there she is; no longer alone, no longer waiting,
the sweet smell of anticipation filling the air.
