Was it a disappearing act or something else….

It probably seemed like I disappeared. Well I didn’t. I’ve been under weather. I have been very ill and off-line. Was feeling to crappy to do anything except lay in bed and wonder when would this flu bug that decided to lay siege on me would pack up and go away. Finally it packed its bag and I said bye bye the shouted thank god then proceeded to cough until I saw stars. LOL. But hey it still felt good to at least be able to do something else beside moan (shoot it wasn’t even moaning in a good way). Boy is it good to be feeling halfway human again. Being ill is the pits. Ahhh… I am back in the land of the feeling good.

Now that I am able to get to a computer I want to make note of a few things.

Passionate Gazettenewsletter for October 2005 wasn't posted due tomy illness. Look for a double packed issue for the November 2005issue. It will be posted around sometime after the week of November14. Around that same time in the newsletter and on my sitethe results from the Savoy Valleyvote will be posted. Also the vote that was supposed to post in October as well as the November vote will be posted so you can cast your vote.

I’ve also extended My deepest Fantasy Contest deadline has been extended to November 30, 2005 so you still have time to send in those entries. The site still reads old date but will be updated shortly.

My mind has been racing since I was laid up. For those of you who know me when I am sick I come up with all kinds of things. So as a heads up I’ve got a little something percolating that I will be posting real soon.

Fantasy – What is it really?

I was thinking more about fantasies and started a discussion in my chat group - Crenshaw Café
I looked up the meaning of fantasy and there were so many meanings and variations to this it was eye opening. I’m going to start with my least favorite then go on to my most favorite.

My least Favorite:

Fantasy~

An unrealistic or improbable supposition.

Now where do I even begin on this one? This is such a cold, analytical way to look at fantasy. From time we are born we are taught to believe in many things that would from this meaning be considered “unrealistic” or “improbable”. The tooth fairy, Santa clause, Easter bunny, and sandman are but a few of the things we grew up with. It is a part of life that we believe at least until such things as this meaning makes us realize different. As a writer this meaning is totally out of my scope. I create living fantasy for readers and enjoy the hell out of doing it {grin}.

Now my most favorite is more like my way of thinking.

My most favorites:

Fantasy ~
Imagery that is more or less coherent, as in dreams and daydreams, yet unrestricted by reality.

Or

Fantasy~
An imagined event or sequence of mental images, such as a daydream, usually fulfilling a wish or psychological need.

All Hail the Fantasy brigade.

Ahhh. Now this is more like it. I create novels that are unrestrained by reality. Heck I build worlds that defy definition and enjoy each and every improbable part of it. I love fulfilling a wish. Wishes of a great story with lots of sex, fantasy and escape. Yes escape from the norm. I enjoy the forays of an alpha male hero type, kick butt heroine whether they be human, vampire, shape shifter, witch or anything else. Becoming free of the restrictions of the imagination is what I strive to achieve. Take a risk. Become a daredevil. Love, fight and live with all those characters of fantasy. Isn’t this really what it is all about.

I tap into the fantasy I enjoy and bring it into reality at least for the time you read my stories and then after when it is remembered by you. Here is my definition of fantasy.

Taige definition of fantasy:

Escaping the constrains of reality and making a reality of your own. A reality where your deepest desires, needs, wants and all things your imagination can think of is real as long as you believe.

Novels are always an adventure and isn’t that why you read. To be drawn into a fantasy. At least for a time before real life issue take over. Fantasy is all about imagination and using it to escape. I enjoy bring a little escape to you.

So tell me what does fantasy mean to you….

…hmmm what to say first…

Will you believe that I am shy? Okay so you’re not buying that eh. I can’t blame you. I don’t have a shy bone in body. I’ve had this blog for a little while although I haven’t posted until now. Nah it wasn’t shyness why I didn’t post I just couldn’t think what I wanted to say. Then I thought hey just say something and don’t worry about it so I’m going to do as I do best and write whatever comes into my head. I’ve had an story burning in my brain for a while and since I like a challenge I will just write the idea here. Now bear with me since this will be unedited and shooting from the hip.

Passion Confidential: Her Every Desire

© Copyright Taige Crenshaw, 2005

The pains in her legs were excruciating but Kenya Blair refused to give up the burn. The burn that everyone claimed that you could work through to get to nirvana of the ultimate exercise.

They were all full of shit there was no such thing. All there was is pain to get a body that was supposedly considered the perfect. Chuckling under her breath Kenya was glad she didn’t buy into it. She was happy with her size 20 body.

When she had signed up a month ago for the gym in walking distance of her house and business the sales rep had tried to talk her into hiring a trainer to lose weight. Since her temper had gotten her kicked out of the last gym she was in she had resisted pitching him through a window instead she had in her most professional voice cut him down to size. Thankfully she hadn’t seen him again.

Coming to the gym wasn’t about that supposedly perfect body. She was healthy and comfortable with her body. Reaching for the controls on the treadmill she increased the speed and incline then continued with her workout. After a few seconds her body was back in rhythm with the machine. Blocking everything out she focused on her problem.
Something was nagging at her and for the life of her she couldn’t figure out what it was.

Her business, Voluptuous was doing well. The contractor, Kryan Ames had finally finished renovating her house to her specifications. Thinking of all that hot manliness Kenya sighed. She would miss seeing him. Hearing his deep rich voice that always made her want to take him to the bedroom and lock the door. Since he never gave any indication of interest and she didn’t believe in mixing business with pleasure she hadn’t. Although it was a near miss many a times instead when the urge to jump him had been to strong she had to state herself with her trusty old friend Mr. Big.
Shrugging she turned her attention back to what could be bothering her. Her business was in order. Her home was the oasis she imagined.

What am I missing?

“How are you enjoying your membership at Savoy’s Ms. Blair?” a smooth liquid baritone asked behind her.

Kenya gave yelp jumped then fell backwards. Strong arms caught her against a hard body.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you?” Are you all right?” There was concern in his voice.

Before she could answer she felt his member stir and press against her butt. Her own body got wet in response. Kenya gulped. In that instant it dawned on her what she was missing.

Sex. And lots of it.

Breathless Kenya replied. “Yes I’m okay at least I didn’t fall on my rump. Now that would have been mortifying.”

The man chuckled then slowly loosened his arms. Before turning Kenya tried to get in control. Taking a deep breath she turned and glanced up. She wasn’t surprised to see the tall chocolate Adonis that had been watching her work out for the last few nights. Up this close she finally had an answer to what color was his eyes. They were such a rich green that they were startling. The intensity in his eyes caused her heart to flutter. He smiled a quick sexy tilt to his lips. All she could think about was how fast it would take for them to get alone then get naked, sweaty and all over each other. The smile on his lips got wicked. The acknowledgement in his eyes was like he knew what she was thinking.


To be continued……

Let me know what you think of my writing straight from the hip. That’s it for my first blog. Hey I think I might be hooked already. LOL.
