QUEER INK - new queer writing group

Queer? Do you write, or are you interested in writing? Would you like to talk with other people who write? Would you like to get together with others who understand what it’s like to struggle with writer’s block, and who want to know how to get published (like you)? Would you like help with critiquing your work and exploring your writing?

Queer Ink is a new writing group for queers who like to write, whether you call yourself a writer or not. We welcome anyone who identifies as queer and writes. We welcome folks of any gender or sexuality.

Interested? Check us out!

Come join us on the web at

about me
I am sassy, HighFemme and PowerFemme identified, kinky, friendly, a writer, smart, alternative, into nature, fun, a sex radical, educated, Buddhist, faithful yet polyamorous, love the arts, sexy, music (soul/r&b/blues/alternative+), up for a challenge, exploring unconventional parenting, leatherpride but mostly nonscene, softly strong, retro & vintage fanatic, green, performance, quirky, the ocean, playful, intelligent, often Top (but I love finding butches Dom enough to flip me), queer, op/thrift/goodwill shopping, leftwing. Think hippy-ish, travel, cafes, spirituality, good food, Scrabble, livejournal (AKA riotqueerfemme), ice-skating, hanging out with friends. Writing and developing my other artistic and performance outlets. I am inspired by 20s through 50s vintage fashion and wear the originals, rockabilly chicks, modern-punk and modern primatives. I love corsets, lingerie, dresses and heels, always with a twist. I even do the modern hippychick thing occasionally! I am tattooed and pierced but you could still take me home to meet your Mum safely.

I like to talk about spirituality, hope, sexuality, gender, sex radicalism, philosophy, butch/femme...

Friends descibe me as upfront, passionate, honest, genuine, eccentric, kinky, tender, sweet...

My favourite things are my 1950s red velvet shawl collar coat, 1970s black leather maxicoat & vintage corsetry...

My favourite foods include cheese! Asian greens, Malaysian, Indian, lamb, Middle Eastern, Japanese, not to mention cocktails, good red wine and Bailey's...

I admire Joan Nestle, Pat/rick Califia/-Rice & Dorothy Allison...

My best (nonphysical) features are my sense of humour & my inner strength...

Something interesting about me is that I am a practising Buddhist...

The most important thing in life is trusting your instincts & following your dreams...

Not into immaturity, addictions, emotional baggage, tryhards, scene queens and game playing (unless weґre talking BDSM of course!).

My LiveJournal

I need some ears.



I have been spending the weekend with a very dear friend E and it's turning out disastrously. Lately whenever I'm around her all my (our?)  worst aspects come out and we end up fighting over nothing - a drive, a game of Scrabble, dinner, touristing. With her I find myself impatient, critical, intolerant, bossy, anxious, snippy, bitchy and plain old mean. E is my best friend. She is loyal, kind, smart, creative, funny, quirky, loving, gorgeous, generous, sweet and I love her beyond measure - so what the FUCK is going on?! I try to be aware of my actioNs & reactions, and continue to try to behave better but so far to no avail. ARGH!!!!



She deserves better than this.

You Are Quite Worldly
You've done a good bit of worldly exploring, and you have an international perspective. And you're definitely looking forward to your future adventures abroad. You've got the passport, the desire to travel, and maybe even the language skills. Now all you need are the means!

Hi there LJers



Yay! I'm on mid-term break! Loving study (most of the time) but finding it exhausting; very happy to have two weeks off... All the things I have planned - organise internet connection at home, go to the beach, catch up with neglected friends, do nothing, frame my vintage prints, finish my dress, plant my spring garden, paint and change the handles on my bedside table, play on the computer, cook... Just for starters!



What are you up to?



Later,

RQF

Just when I feel like I'm coming to terms with the fact that I may not be able to have a child something kicks me in the guts and reminds me of the pain that this loss brings. The other night I had a dream where this priest gave me a newborn baby girl who had been abandoned saying, 'She's yours now'. Her name was Eden and I was holding her with her tiny butt resting in my hands and her body pressed against her chest; she was so soft and warm and I could smell her baby head. Then my partner said from behind me (I'm currently single - I couldn't see her face) laughingly, 'I guess this makes me a dad now' and I laughingly agreed. Then I woke up and although my arms & hands were still holding Eden, she wasn't there, and nor was my partner. I was alone. I just wanted to cry but nothing would come out.



Shit happens, I guess.
