dear secret teen diary

Dear Secret Diary,

I have been hard at work on a new blog called dear secret teen diary. It is a collection of the naughtiest entries from my diaries describing my teenhood Tacoma, Washington in the mid-Nineties. The truth is they were just a little too personal for some of my friends and family, but I didn't want to shut down my teenage self-expression completely. I'm also enjoying experimenting with Google Adsense.

Do check out dear secret teen diary and let me know what you think.

Warmly, Abina

Water on a Cable

Hi guys!

I wanted to share with you a lovely wet Fall image and also say thanks for checking in despite my decidedly disappointing lack of smut. Although Penny and the Orgasm Camp are starting to creep back into my daily thoughts (cold -> hot springs -> Azores?) I'm bound and determined to maintain a regular if accelerated posting schedule with sarahhoopes.com and the Gallery of Crushes.

Best, Abina

P.S. I could have sworn I smelled pine needles this morning. Perhaps this drafty apartment would warm up with bright seasonal tree.

Fall in Portland

Hi Guys! Fall in Portland is going well. After a bewildering Summer (was it the move? the school?) I am happy to report that the Diary Blog posting schedule is back on track. I have soft launched a new index blog for the Diaries called the Gallery of Crushes. Additionally, I have been having fun experimenting with Google Adwords and Google Analytics- my new "school."

Warmly, Abina

What the heck have I been up to, you ask Dear Reader? Well thank you for checking in! I've been working on the teenage diary blog sarahhoopes.com and a new diary mini-blog called the Gallery of Crushes. I do hope you'll check those out.

As for Orgasm Camp for Adults, it will not upon the back burner be much longer. Don't you worry.

Warmly,

Abina

P.S. What do you think of my new picture? It isn't me, but it might as well be.

Final Stretch

Hi guys,

Just a quick check-in before I get in my morning plot writing sprint. I have returned after nearly a month of moving and traveling.

Despite my lack of home internet, I was writing nearly all the while. So much has changed that I have decided to take down the first chapter and a half that I had posted on Orgasm Camp for Adults.

I'm planning to start posting the revised story after a sufficient period of time. Check-in here as I wrap up Penny's first adventure and prepare it for your enjoyment.

Warmly,

Abina (not pictured)

Pot-Holes, Sugar, & Spice

"This whole book is but a draught-nay, but the draught of a draught. Oh, Time, Strength, Cash, and Patience!" -Melville

My dear mother is right: O.Camp has some grammatical pot-holes that need attending. And tend them I will, Dear Reader.

As always I humbly invite you to identify errors, inconsistencies, and share your sugar & spice in the comments, both here, and there.

Warmly,

Abina

A Very Short Break

Dear Readers,

I will be taking the shortest of breaks from the blogs to focus on Academia. Never fear, I shall return on Thursday with more from the chronicles of Penny Lovelace.

Q: Is Chapter 2.7 of O. Camp for Adults autobiographical?

A: [blush] Yes. Well, mostly.

Free the Art

Dearest Reader,

Remember when sxc.hu was a great place to find beautiful free images? The only cost to use that perfect shot of a perfectly manicured foot slipping into a rose-be-petaled bathtub was a publication by line or a link back to the photographer's website? User wins, and if they are effective, then photographer wins, too. Internet bartering at it's best.

I'm dying to plug some gorgeous photos into O. Camp. I would to hire an illustrator or photographer but as you may have guessed this humble writer is just starting her journey into monetization.

And we return again to dreaming about digital-free sxc.hu of years past. What is the new site for up and coming artists who offer their work in return for acknowledgement? Deviant?

In the meantime perhaps I will add to O. Camp some of the food porn photos I'm collecting for the upcoming launch of foodispretty.com. Although confusing it would at least in the meantime fill the void.

Warmly,

Abina

Eu sou pesaroso, Portugal

Dear Reader,

Let this be a public apology and admittance that I do not know Portuguese (though I am learning it). I translated some phrases for the beginning of O. Camp, which is set in the Azores and I really have no way at the moment of checking them against reality. So in advance, Eu sou pesaroso, Portugal.

Warmly,

Abina

Linking

How like a May-pole I find the ribbony links I weave throughout these my Blogger posts. Missing my Wordpress Cadillac, but am confident that this economical press is still worth test-driving. In the meantime, my apologies that naughty novel places may be briefly lost should you seek more character information.

Penny Lovelace

Penny, or Penelope, Lovelace is the main character of this series of erotic blogs. Stay tuned for more about our hero!

(6/4/2010)

Penny is a smart, pretty, and very curious twenty-five year old woman of 21st Century (2033, to be exact). She just completed her graduate school work in artificial intelligence computer programming and is taking a vacation to celebrate. Though quite attractive, Penny was a very serious student and had little time for romance. She has a lot to learn. Lucky for Penny (and you, Dear Reader) her journey begins in the middle of a Sexual Revolution.

Hilarity Ensues

An early morning engagement had me scrambling, Dear Reader, had me scrambling to post another tidbit of my naughty novel, O. Camp for Adults. My early afternoon was spent untangling a mess of links (think Lucille Ball with html code flying everywhere). And now I pray the artichoke I've been steaming for the past decade is finally done cooking.

Always, Abina

The Birth of Arugula

Dear Reader,

I apologize for dumping that entire first half of naughty novel chapter one. Let's try that again with more bite-size pieces.

Also, decided to change the name of The Corporation fictional character from Moodle (actually exists) to Arugula.

Warmly, Abina

Well, Dear Reader, Part One of Chapter One of my first erotic novel is up and ready for your gentle review.

You might be the first person other than yours truly to lay eyes upon it, which is to say it is still in the review process. I humbly invite you to leave a comment if you have a suggestion or a kind word for this fledgling eroticist.

Yours warmly,

Abina

Preparing for Launch

Dear Reader,

As promised, I intend to release the first chapter of my first erotic novel on the last day of this month, which is this Friday. Per my custom I've let it marinate for a little while, and will be spending this week making it presentable.

I humbly remind you that this is very much a work in progress, and it likely to evolve-- possibly dramatically!--throughout the duration of this experiment.

Well, my Dears, when we speak again Penny Lovelace will have stepped onto the stage. Can't wait!

Warmly,

Abina

Dear Reader,

Welcome, Dear Reader, to my secret diary blog. I am presently in the midst of writing my first erotic novel featuring a sexysmart character named Penny Lovelace. I'm absolutely loving this experiment and find myself dying to share my adventures in sexy literature with someone, anyone!

Be forewarned, I'm going to be rather loose-fingered on these pages. Although the content will be family appropriate, this blog will be a beach-side sandbox in which to stretch my writing toes before and between plunges into the deeper waters of naughty novel-writing (as of right now eighty-pages strong!).

I do hope that you will enjoy yourself and thank you very much for stopping in.

Warmly,
Abina

Introducing Penny Lovelace

Dear Reader,

May I present Penelope Lovelace-- the hero of my first erotic novel. She is a smart and sexy woman who, having devoted the first half of her adult life to studying math and computer programming, decides it is finally time that she focus on some of the systems she has been neglecting: one of which is her sexuality.

Set just enough in the future to have found cures for all STDs Penny embarks on a series of encounters on her quest to find define her sensual self.

Warmly,
Abina
