writing post, only boring stuff inside

The point in this story has arrived where I have to choose a word for vulva. This shouldn't be so difficult but it ALWAYS IS. Well, except when I'm lucky enough to be writing a character for whom "cunt" is the natural and only choice, but otherwise: a struggle. I'm probably going to go with "pussy" this time (which I always feel like I need to apologize for) and then actually say it as little as possible. ...any period-accurate suggestions? If only I were writing 1862, maybe I could say "quim"!

Just over 300 words so far, and I don't care if I do have to get up at 8 AM tomorrow morning, I can't stop there. It is woefully inadequate.

update: This is getting really S/M. Or M, anyway. I'm sure the S will follow soon. But I think I've got like half a dozen lines so far about how much something hurts and how much Alex really really likes that, like not in spite of but because of. I can totally defend it because sex pollen, altered states, I could even make a pretty sturdy case for it as in character even without magically manipulated hormones, but...jeez, I really have no self-control whatsoever when it comes to writing pornography. CHARACTERS WILL LIKE WHAT I LIKE. Apparently.

update 2: okay, I do not understand why I'm suddenly starting to get all embarrassed about writing filthy things. IT'S A GODDAMNED GANGBANG, self. GET OVER IT.

I seem to be writing less and less each night. This is a terrible trend and makes me very tense and unhappy.

words total: 4340

I always laugh at body-part word choice, because my bowlderised iPhone Scrabble won't let me use "vulva" or "vagina" or "cunt" but "quim" or "quoint" or "pussy" are perfectly fine!
