I just sent out my February newsletter for my business and since there were several free gifts, I thought I'd share the info with all of you guys, too:


A Little Bit of Wantonness
February 13, 2009 Volume 2, Issue 1

A Note From the Wanton Hussy:

Happy Friday the 13th! Yes, I said “happy” - 13 used to be a lucky number, not un-lucky. Remember the “baker’s dozen”? That extra cinnamon roll was for luck!

In keeping what that theme, this month’s offering is loaded with surprises, special offers, suggestions and other indulgences, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Recently a community I am part of has collectively given a wonderful gift to a friend in need. I had the honor of coordinating that gift and let me tell you, it’s changed my perspective on life. In a time when people are getting laid off, when the economy is frightening, when there are catastrophic ice storms in the Midwest United States and lethal wildfires in Australia, when people everywhere are afraid of what’s coming next and holding on to what they have – a group of fewer than fifteen women contributed $400 to help someone. The average contribution was under $20 per person - less than the cost of a movie, book, or a few drinks from Starbucks. But all together, it added up. It is amazing to see what we can all do when we cooperate!

The experience has given me a real incentive to do more for others. Not monetarily, but often the little things are more valuable. Like smiling at a homeless person, meeting their eyes and saying hello as you acknowledge them as someone who counts even if you don’t have any spare change. Helping the elderly, or a mother struggling with a small child, by retuning the cart from the parking lot back to corral. Writing letters for a worth cause like Planned Parenthood. Just being your wacky, sexy, love-filled self and sharing that with the world around you as you go about your day is the greatest of gifts.

The light is growing – help it spread!

Setting the Page on Fire!

Have you ever wanted to write erotica? Were you too inhibited or intimidated? Didn't know how to begin?

Join the Wanton Hussy for a 5-week telecourse to explore the specifics of writing erotica -- from titillation to technique!

Find out how to overcome your awkwardness and write a "naughty" story that you would be proud to claim. All erotic writing is welcome, from the steamy sex scene in your novel, to a letter to your lover, to a short story for a "best of" collection. Folks of all writing abilities and genres, including poetry, are welcome.

Whether you write regularly or are just getting started, this workshop is for you!

In just five weeks we will tackle issues specific to erotic writing, from language choices to overcoming your writing blocks. Topics will include plots, characterizations, and how to write the Big 'O'. We will have in-class writing exercises, discussions, and the most arousing homework assignments you've ever done!


Date: Wednesdays, February 13 through March 12th
Time: 6:00-7:30 PM, PST (9:00-10:30 EST)
Location: your home - it's a telecourse!
Fee: 5-week series = $55 OR drop ins = $15 per session

For more details (including the syllabus) and to register, check out my Classes & Workshops page at: http://www.thewantonhussy.com/classes_and_workshops.htm.


Please feel free to pass this along to any potentially interested friends, family, or lovers.

(This telecourse is just in time for Valentine's Day and both the workshop series and any writing created would make a wonderful gift. I even do gift certificates.)

I'm looking forward to "seeing" you there!

I'm posting this to get some information about how interested people would be in taking my "how to write erotica" workshop as a teleclass (or some other distance-education format). I'm ready to start teaching my in-person class this week, but there also seemed to be some interest in a "remote" class. That sounds like fun too, so I thought I'd see what the interest level actually is. :)

Here is a link to the course description and syllabus "Setting the Page on Fire!".

Please answer the following questions to let me know what you think!

Please feel free to cross-post this or tell people you know to come vote - I'm trying to get as much data as I can to decide if I want to do this.

Thanks!
