Tonight's the BIG NIGHT! 92Y Tribeca Erotic Writing Workshop

PLEASE tell anyone who wants to know more about erotica writing - I definitely love to publish the work of people who take my classes, and it's only $12, and I have handouts, and...it'll be good, I promise.

Erotic Love Letter/Erotica 101 Workshop by Rachel Kramer Bussel

For a little taste of some of the writing exercises we'll be doing, read this mini interview in Time Out New York.

Also: Time Out New York published my list of my Top 10 Erotic Books! Thanks, TONY!

In a word, hot

I promise this will be more than just a photo blog, but between busyness and lusting over my new iPhone, there's been photo action going on. For links and such, see the Tumblr.

This photo from the book Ed Fox: Glamour from the Ground Up (Taschen) I find totally hot. (via Bastard Life - which, incidentally, is in bet aan di spart of the OnSugar Network - you know, the people who bring us the awesome Yum Sugar and the like. Who knew? I didn't until I went to log in and it told me I was already a member.)



Also, I so heart Time Out New York for plugging Thursday's reading (in a Drink Up roundup that includes Monday's Big Quiz Thing). Yes, be there for free cupcakes, all fancied out this time from Kumquat Cupcakery, plus free condoms courtesy of Single Mom Seeking author Rachel Sarah and Babeland-donated sex toys.

Here's what TONY wrote: (technically, I'm Senior Editor at Penthouse Variations and a Contributing Editor at Penthouse but I won't quibble, just want to clear that up - I'm forever grateful when my name is spelled right!)
