Engaged (The ABCs of Erotica) (23 page)
The plot for Cheated was immediate. I knew what sort of story I wanted to tell for Delilah Quinn, and exactly the sort of tone I thought it should have (Kill Bill with pussy). I wanted Divorced to be heartbreaking — I wanted to cry while I wrote it and did. Fate and Identity both promised equally exciting themes to explore. Engaged was never anything more than a vague concept to be fleshed out later.
That continued until it was time to write. Creatively, this has been an amazing year. I’ve written what I want to write, when I want to. But as readied myself to write Engaged, I realized that I only wanted to write it because Fate and Gagged were following behind.
Before fiction I was paid to produce. My word count mattered. I can sit at the keyboard and get the job done, even if I’m not feeling it. I expected that that’s how it would be with Engaged, but it wasn’t. I started writing, then fell in love with Liza and Richard. I wanted them to be happy.
Engaged’s first draft was one of the hardest I’ve written. It wasn’t a lot of fun, and it didn’t flow as well as I wanted. I hadn’t marinated the story like I had with the others. I didn’t know Liza the way I knew Jay or Caitlin (or Delilah, Zach and Sam) so I couldn’t approach her story the same way.
I overwrote, learning who Liza was as I made my way through the draft. The book you’ve just read is a bit under 50,000 words. The first draft was nearly 70,000. Liza Elway told me her story, then I repeated a better version to you.
I expect Liza and Richard will be together forever. I had a great time seeing them Engaged.

About Lexi Maxxwell
Lexi Maxxwell isn't my real name. It's a pen name I use when writing for YOU.
Every sentence I write as Lexi is designed to make your dick harder or pussy wetter.
But I can't do that at my day job. I don't know if it's officially against company policy, but I have a feeling my superiors wouldn't be too happy if they knew. It's probably just as well since I'd probably spend too much of my work day with my hand on my panties checking how wet the story was making my pussy.
Which is how I prefer to write, and how I write at home.
My 9-5 is spent as a copywriter for a large marketing firm. I write fantastic copy, but it's dryer than sandpaper and I can say with 99.9% certainty that no one's ever jerked off to it before. I prefer my pages soaking wet, which is why I put on my Lexi hat, rub myself into a frenzy, then start typing every filthy thought to cross my smutty little mind.
When I'm writing as Lexi, all bets are off (along with my panties). I dip my quill in anonymous ink so I can splatter the pages with the impure thoughts we all think, yet few have courage to ponder.
If you’re reading this right now, then I already know that you and I are different. We embrace the human, vulgar side of our minds, so we can know ourselves better, and improve our lives through our new awareness. Unfortunately, there are too many people in this world marching to the false belief that sex is somehow dirty. Sex
isn’t
something to hide, or be embarrassed of. You deserve to enjoy experimentation, even if it’s only in your mind. YOU are the reason I write.
Without you, I have nothing, except a boring job that pays me well but leaves me empty. I need you to need me, which is why there's nothing that makes me hotter, wetter, or more electric than imagining the feelings you get while enjoying my work.
"Lexi Maxxwell" may not be real, but every one of my words are. I write for readers like you, discerning lovers of explicit erotica. My stories are character driven, and always hardcore. Please help "Lexi" grow so I can continue to write and fill our bottomless appetite, and make you feel what no one else will.
Kisses,
~Lexi Maxxwell xxx
