Yes, I think I’m going to write a book about my experiences from the on-line dating site. Don’t panic! It probably won’t be too explicit and won’t name names.. lol!
But I’ve been talking to a couple of women on the site and, of course, many men and some have been members for a long, long time. The different ways they do things and the fascinating stories they have, not to mention the motivations behind why they stay, is flat out fascinating.
It started as a joking statement, “You should write a book.” And as I thought about it the chapters formed in my head. I mentioned it to a friend and he popped off the title, “Tales from the Sexual Front Line” and I jumped on it. It was then I realized I wouldn’t have a problem selling THIS to an agent, the title would do it for me. Not being a work of fiction, this book is easier to describe than my Cougar novels and a sound bite is sometimes all you have to try and entice the attention of an agent or editor. Something I really need if I’m going to take my writing to the next level of publishing.
The why people do it, the how people do it and the things I’ve learned about myself and others told with my usual blog/humor style will make some entertaining reading. And then I’ll spice it up with a level of juicy erotic stories which the editor can either publish, tone down or just remove! Oooo… maybe the e-version will be a “director’s cut” type! And include the bonus features!
So I’ve got looooottsss of “research” to do! And now that I’ve closed my profile to receiving emails from anyone new I’ll have the time. Best part.. I’ll need to compare the other types of sites for research reasons.
I’ll have the perfect excuse to complicate Eithne’s life with dating! After all, who better to go on Match.com and look for love than my best friend who is single!
Share the joy.. that’s my philosophy! Oh and Frank, a fellow writer and in Marketing, suggests I write it as a “how to” book and then hit the lecture circuit!
Can you picture me “entertaining” a room on how to date online, city to city to city! The best part would be going online to the site and lining up 2-3 men to meet me at the seminar as “examples”! I could let the audience help me pick one. Although, maybe I could just take all three! hee hee.. I love being decedent.
