Good Morning Lovlies!
My first guest blog post was published on 5/11/12 @ Mysavvysisters.com. I love this blog, so I asked the wonderful publisherTe-Erika Patterson, if I could share, and here's the end result:

The reason I chose this subject is because it's one that I work with daily, and often times I want to tell people these things, but I not able to.
Why I wrote "Confessions of a Serial Masturbator"
by Kitty K. Free on 03/16/12
I've been asked, why I'd write such a book. It's because I turned myself out. Admittedly I'm a late bloomer when it comes
to masturbation. I didn't start until my
early thirties. And when I did I was
amazed! Enough so, that I started
writing a book. I told my good friend (the
real dildo fairy) about the idea. I
wanted to write something to pay homage to the joy of masurbation. An instruction guide was out of the question,
because, who am I tell someone else how to jerk off? Then I
thought of writing something funny. A
fictional, light hearted, happy story that will make the reader smile, and
relate.
She probably doesn't even remember, but while in the
dildo fairy's living room, I came up with several titles, until I finally
landed on the one that fit. The title
gave the book direction: a female, who confesses her seriate masturbation
activities. There were a lot of tales I wanted
to tell within the story. The deeper I got
into the story, the more story I wanted to tell, until I had about 400 pages of
cohesive, non-sense.
I scaled it down, created order amongst the chaos of my
ramblings, and then asked my bestie to read it, and she loved it. She made several notes, and she officially
became my beta-reader. A very dear
friend of mine read it, and he also gave me some notes, so that by the time my
personal lunatic (another bestie) read it, I had a little more confidence in
what I'd written. She loved it and didn't
want me to change a thing. But I did. It still wasn't ready. In my opinion it still isn't, and if I had my
way I'd be writing it until I was well into my 100's, trying to get it just
right. My sweetheart had to snatch it
from me, and tell me to publish it.
But, not before my last beta-reader read it. My mother--who made notes like a college
professor. I haven't been that nervous
in a very long time. I told her we are never to speak of anything
she read in the book, so her notes were all written--no verbal communication
about it at all. With my mother out of
the way, I really have no shame about sharing my work with anyone else.
I wrote this book, because I wanted women to lose the
shame associated with masturbating. It's
such a beautiful, joyous gift. We are
created for pleasure; sexual and otherwise.
We should embrace every part of ourselves. I also felt it was important to show a black
woman, specifically an African American woman, being sexual under her own
terms. I want to bridge gaps between
women of all races, and show that despite our differences, we have a lot in
common. We should strive to celebrate what makes us unique, as well as our
similarities.
Though "Confession..." is a work of fiction, I know people
will think it's a memoire. It's already
happening with people asking me questions about toys that I don't necessarily have the
answer to. I take that as a compliment
to my writing, because I wrote some really outlandish stuff in there. If I was able to make it all seem plausible,
then I've done my job.
Thank you again to everyone who has shown love to
me. I truly appreciate it.
2012!!!

It's amazing how the start of a new year can really make you feel like new things are possible. It's purely psychological. Everyday is a new day. But the start of a new year is almost like sharing a birthday with the rest of the world. We're all starting something new at the same time. Well those of us following the same calendar. It's not a new year yet for everyone. Isn't that amazing? Egyptian New Year will be January 7th. Chinese New Year will be January 23rd, and will be the Year of the Dragon. Ethiopian New Year September 11th the end of the rainy season. Nepali New Year is celebrated between April 12th and 15th and this year is 2067.
There's a big world full of many different kinds of people and traditions and even years. I find that beautiful. Just imagine if you were born somewhere else, your life could be completely different. It's all about perspective.
Have a Happy New Year!
Thanks Everyone:)

So it’s another lonely day in this writer’s life. I’m working on creating the paperback version
of COASM, and I can’t wait to get it
done. I’ve decided to go w/Create Space,
which I guess I should’ve done from the start & released the ebook &
paperback at the same time. But I’m
learning as I go along.
So far COASM has three reviews and all are 5 stars YAAAAY! I’m
so excited. Also I’ve added a few new
authors to the Writer’s Corner, so please check that out and if you see
something you like BUY IT! Most of the books on there are available in ebook
format and are between .99 and 2.99, you just can’t beat that.
I’m also working on the 2nd COASM. Still figuring it all out. Hopefully the process of publishing will be
way easier since I know more of what I’m doing now. This has been the ultimate learning
experience. I’d still like to take a
course in publishing, and another in small business management. There’s still so much to learn. And getting my head around marketing and
promotions is another obstacle I need to conquer. By nature I’m very shy and with this—I simply
can’t afford it. Nor can I afford a
publicist or any other services soooo… it’s time to step out and get this thing
poppin! Wish me luck.
Also if you have the time, please participate in the
Masturbation Survey. I’d really
appreciate it. Thank you. Have a good night!
