It’s been a bit quiet here this past week, I know. I’m moving house. Again. (If I never see another roll of packing tape, it will be too soon.) Normal posts will resume in roughly a week or so once I have stopped lugging boxes. And recovered from Easter Egg overdose. Continue reading
Tag: Behind the Chintz Curtain
Silence
Yep, I know it’s been nearly a week since the last Chintz post. Sorry ’bout that. I’m currently at the mercy of Half-term and a rather interesting writing project that kicked off a few weeks ago. In other words, updates over the next few days are going to continue to be sporadic. Lest you think that I’m swanning about in my underpants in front of the T.V. and eating chocolate, however, let me assure you that there is stuff going on behind the florals: Michael and I have just finished another joint-read (Cherise Sinclair’s This is Who I Am), I’m currently drafting another My Life in Books entry as well as some additional reviews, and there are two toys of the vibrating variety currently being put through their paces for the Toy Box.
So it’s busy silence. Honestly!

Some changes …
Since I attended Eroticon last weekend, I’ve been thinking. About lots of things. But, in particular, making more time to write. Not reviews, not articles, but erotica. More Five-minute stories. More serials.
Chintz went live approximately eight months ago and since then I’ve blogged nearly every week day. That’s a fair few posts! But while I’m tapping away furiously on my keyboard for a good few hours Monday to Friday, I’ve found that I’m devoting more and more time to reviews and less and less to writing stories.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all you lovely kinky folk
The very last Behind the Chintz Curtain post for 2012. I can’t quite believe how fast the past five-and-a-half months have gone. Since Chintz went live on 3 July, over 13,000 of you have visited and I’d just like to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who’s taken the time to stop by.
I also need to send some serious festive love to the following amazing people, without whom I would have been totally lost on this blogging journey! Continue reading
Introducing Michael
Image: Power of Words by Antonio Litterio
Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know a certain gentleman who writes seriously fabulous book reviews. Honest, insightful and, without fail, interesting. He’s been my writing feedback stalwart and is also one of the mods for my favourite Goodreads group, BDSM. (No doubt, a few of you will have met him already.) Continue reading
More toys? More books? More to read?
There’s been a lot of clicking around on Chintz over the past week or so and we’ve now gone over 1000 pageviews! Very exciting!
Some of you are heading straight for the toys, some for the book reviews and some for the Garden of Earthly Delights [*no longer available on the blog] but, given the choice, what would you like more of?
