Gossip!

I have a photo I like very much. Till yesterday I didn't know the name of the model, but a friend of a friend on my LJ unvealed the segret:



His name is Eric Balfour and I have discovered that he mainly work for tv fiction, like 24. But I have also read a very saucy gossip... apparently he lives with Ian Somerhalder




Ian and Eric and a third person at a party

Do you imagine what my naughty mind is thinking just now?

Yes, yes I know, I'm a little pervy, but well a girl can have fantasies...

Haha - that's precisely the reason I'm glad my beta is a woman, she points things out to me and says "This will make no sense at all - explain!". :)

Can I be the devil's advocate? But if you have written it in that way cause it's how you feel it, changing it to be more understandable to female readers, it's in some way like bertraying your mind, style and gender?

Why you have to change it? Instead could I change my mind, and with me all female reader? Better why I can't have my mind and try to understand your way?

I don't see it as betraying my mind or gender, more as clarifying it, showing what motivates and action or what the root of a certain mentality is. I think people can only understand something if it's described in a way they can relate to on some level. It's the same way when I elaborate on BDSM, and what really goes on in the mind of a sub or Dom, slave or Master, what motivates them and how they think and feel. It's always the greatest thing for me when I get feedback telling me I'm showing readers a whole new world and that they're beginning to understand it for the first time in their lives. I hope that doesn't sound like boasting, but I relate to people best through writing, and I think describing things in a way others can understand or relate to brings us closer together on some level. Because when it comes right down to it, it turns out we really aren't that different at all.

if more people could think in that way, life will be a lot simplier and nicer.
