People like to know how you do what you do. But you're right, it shouldn't be the bulk of the stuff I write about, because a) it's not that interesting to non-writers and b) all things in moderation. I think I struggle with finding a good balance between the image-building and the personal-sharing on this site precisely because it doesn't have a firm image. I want it to reflect my personality, but I want it to remain a bit mysterious. So I wrote a spy-themed bio. I guess what I am finding is that what interests me changes from day to day, and if you can't pin it down to just three or four main categories, people start to ask "WTF is this site really about?" I like writing about writing, so I will include that for sure. But what else? The sex stuff is pretty well covered by Black Heart and Vixen. I am still experimenting with other topics, at this point.
