Sex and Literature

So run with me on this one real quick. If writing was like sex:

- The Romantic period would be the ideal sex
- The Victorian period would be sweet, conventional sex
- The Modern period would be kinky sex
- The Post Modern period would be like BDSM
- The Naturalist period would be like wild, animal sex
- Great literature would be like fond and talented lovers that you can return to frequently if you desire
- Writing in elementary school, junior high, and high school would be like your first attempts at early masturbation
- Your favorite book you've read a dozen times is like your first picture of a really sexy (wo)man naked
- Essays are like buttsex, not necessarily as pleasant for the receiver as for the giver unless that's what the receiver wants
- Memoirs and (auto)biographies are like memories of great lovers
- Scientific and mathematical writing would be like sex ed in a textbook

And finally, the one I've learned the most about recently,

- Marketing is like cheap literary prostitution.

The End.

Progress

I think I'm doing well. Better. Perhaps.

But who is a legitimate judge of his progress? Only a fool, I'm sure.

Well, heart aside, at least my actions are reflecting.
