NaNoWriMo - WON!

I actually finished around 52,000 words by the end of week 3, so I was happy girl!

My story is of a conservative theology professor in an ultra-conservative college. He has a public debate with a liberal Feminist theologian, and of course sparks fly - and not the good kind!

Their story follows a circuitous path, and she ultimately ends up being married to him as a submissive wife who gets spanked regularly. She had a hard time reconciling it with her feminism, but realizes that as a feminist, she can choose how she wants to be in relationship.

They become involved with another couple who are in the same kind of relationship (a female Protestant minister and a police chief), and they ultimately buy property together (about ten acres) so that they are legally bound in a four-way marriage of sorts.

In the process of all this happening, the four of them end up in Druidism and Pagan rituals, finding it more to their theological mindsets.

Lots of spanking goes on among the four people, and eventually others are added to their Druid Grove, all with the same ideas about Domestic Discipline.

Fun and games for all, and many sore bums are seen around the acreage!

"Up with feminism, down with panties"

NaNoWriMo

I take part in this every year, and write enough words to be considered a "winner!"

Here is my problem - I start out a novel with a nice "normal" outline, and somewhere along the line, it simply gets into spanking, or domestic discipline, or some variation that involves kinky, but highly desirable behavior.

I give up! That kind of book must be what I am destined to write. I have honestly tried to write something different that I wouldn't be embarrassed for my children to know I wrote, but it just isn't going to happen.

In every situation I write about, I can see the female main character being submissive to the male character, almost always ending up over his lap for a sound spanking, or any number of other kinky scenarios.

I have started writing under a pen name (not the one I use for this blog), and publishers have shown an interest. There must be a market for my kind of novel somewhere. If I get published, I'll let you know :)

What Is A Feminist?

I can’t recall how this topic came up, but a few weeks ago, I casually mentioned to a friend that my lover was the head of our household even though we don’t live together. She’s my very best and closest friend, so of course we share the same political beliefs. She was horrified at my comment.

“We discuss whatever we need to, both of us giving our input,” I responded, “but someone must have the ultimate decision, so he has that.”

“But that’s like a traditional marriage!” she said.

I nodded my head, then dropped the topic. Nothing was said about spanking. I was feeling her out in terms of my sexual lifestyle, something she knows very little about, in spite of being friends.

So much has been written by other women (and probably a few men) about how feminism fits into the spanking slash domestic discipline lifestyle. I’m sure I can’t add anything that hasn’t already been said. All I can do here is add my own perspective.

Yes, I consider myself a fiercely independent feminist and I have been since the 70s (yeah, I’m an old hippie!). I was part of the early movement that freed up women to live the kind of life we live today. It was not about uni-sex bathrooms, or giving up control. It was about women having equal rights. In fact, for years, I carried around a card in my wallet printed with the Equal Rights Amendment to show people who wanted to argue with me about what it meant.

The fact that the ERA didn’t pass as an amendment shows how fearful people are about giving women control over themselves. It hasn’t been that many years since my grandmother took up the campaign that allowed women to vote!

The ERA did mean I could have a career that paid me what I was worth in terms of education and experience. It meant that I could make my own decisions about my body around birth control and meds, and the like. It meant that I didn’t have to take shit from anyone about the way I lived my life. It meant I could be as sexual as any male without shame.

The ERA did not take away my gentility as a woman. It did not take away the feelings I have around my sexuality.

Years ago, I had a friend who was a Colonel in the Marine Corps and she (yes, SHE) was also a Fundamentalist Christian. Her comment to me was how difficult it was to be in charge of so many men at work, then go home to be the submissive wife. I wanted so much to explain that she didn’t need to make that decision, but she wouldn’t have been open to hearing that.

I deliberately choose to have my lover be my HoH. I choose to have him be the one to make decisions. I choose to give him the power to put me over his lap and administer whatever kind of discipline he feels is necessary. And I continue to choose to accept his spankings for whatever reason he desires, whether that is for his arousal (or mine), or for punishment (which is seldom).

If having a sore red bottom that feels hot to the touch (lordy!) does nothing more than turn me on, then I have achieved my goal as a feminist. I’m allowed to feel my sexuality today, something I was not allowed to feel when I was a high school student, struggling against what my body and mind craved.
