Erotica forum DEDICATIONS prompt for the day [adult material] Jan 26

I don't normally do dedications, but I did one in Dolphin Dreams.

"With grateful thanks to my past and present editors, Judith and Raven. Editors are good people. They make your book better."

It only went into the *second* draft. I don't think my editor's had time to look at it yet. I expect there'll be a squeal when she finally does.

I think I've had a dedication in all but one of my books so far and the only reason the one is missing is because I forgot to include it when I sent the final MS back.

My most recent dedication was:

This one's for you, Lemon Twist.

~smiles~ Lemon Twist is my nickname for one of my crit partners.

For Berry, first to assert I could do it. For Diane and Jen, who tried to convince me I couldn't. And most of all, for X, Y, and Z [AW people], who made me believe I could again.

Maryn,

I like it! I wonder if you can do things like: For ___ the judge of the ___ contest who scored me so low I did NOT win. Thanks for all your encouragement!

I just realized I should have dedicated the book being released next week to "colonoscopy patients everywhere." Yeah, like that'll really bring on the readers. But, see, I had my first-ever colonoscopy this week, and the day before, when all I could eat was Jell-o (and I really don't like Jell-o, except possibly for the red varieties, which you're not allowed to have during the prep day), and it struck me as a cruel irony that I'd created a heroine who's addicted to Jell-o, and pines for it when her supply is cut off. Although, really, I'm sure she only eats the red kinds.

I never had any, but I always wanted to put: 'To my dear family, none of whom know I'm writing this.'
