I think today is a good day to make cheesecake.
Of course, is there a bad day to make cheesecake?

What exactly do I tell people when they ask what I do?

Thus far, I have had positive responses to this statement. I wondered why, when I'm straight up admitting to being a freak who writes in a denigrated genre.
I found an answer:
A bad reputation can set you free. After all, if you've already declared yourself to be a pot-smoking, acid-addled slut, your opponents are forced to oppose your ideas on their merits, rather than strategically revealing your hidden depravities. Shame is no weapon against the shameless.
-- John Perry Barlow
(For the record, I am neither pot smoking nor acid-addled.)
As for the slut? Well, in most people's definition of the word, I am one simply by writing sexually adventurous characters.
Hi. I'm Linda Mercury. I write very very very sexy paranormal romances. I refuse to be shamed by that. I hope my refusal invites you to enjoy life's pleasures.
