A new writing adventure for Tahrea.... (This is a BIG ONE.)

So.
I've been approached by a gal in Toronto to contribute to this project she started up...
In her words, " It's going to be published by Seal Press and it's an anthology from young people across North America on sexual experiences they believe the younger generation could learn from. The pieces should show and not tell and include as much detail as possible (as though you were telling your best friend). You can also use a writer's alias if you're more comfortable."

Short stories and letter formatted pieces are preferred. The topics to write on are:

1. Hookups (sexual relationships void of emotional connection)
2. Positive sexual experiences
3. Sexual experiences with consequences (STI, pregnancy, abortion)
4. Date rape/ sexual abuse (this can be a story about helping someone through this experience as well)
5. Abstinence

Apparently this isn't a paying thing, but it means an opportunity to get published and free copies of the book.
HELLZ yeah.
This gal found me on urbis.com and, apparently, liked my writing.
LOL
Seriously, this will be an honor.
REALLY.
I mean, YEAH, I haven't had much experience in this department, but I've been surrounded with INSPIRATION for any type of story involving sex.
And lord knows I can mould a creative writing piece out of just about anything at this point.
LOL
That sounded cocky.....
sorry.
I'm not sure on which topic to write.
I'll just start writing and see what flows out.
I'll email her whatever it may be and see what comes of it.
We have til February which is...
Basically now.
So I should start writing...
NOW.

I'll post whatever geniusness later....
(HA!)

I'm not like her
but I guess it's a good thing.
You'll never find me in a clinic
dying from disease
because I spend too much time
sitting on my knees....
