Verified: Rachelle's Relationship Preferences

Rachelle is indifferent to sex and romance and is definitively asexual. She doesn't mind having sex (only not twice in a row) unless its medically inadvisable (read, painful to have too much pressure on her skin from anything) and eventually after years of being married, she does even develop some romantic feelings. Please note the years.

I'm kind of shocked I accidentally wrote a legit asexual character.

From TV Tropes:

It should be noted that asexuals are not incapable of sex or falling in love. Asexuality is often the lack of sexual attraction rather than sex drive or emotional attraction. As such, asexuals who are more indifferent to sex rather than actively averse to it may be quite capable of sex and masturbation (though this is not usually directed at any object of desire) if they need to. Asexuals in romantic relationships with sexual individuals, for example, may have no problem having intercourse with their partners for the sake of said relationship even if the act itself may not have the same significance or appeal as it would to sexual individuals. Unlike the aforementioned fully sexual individuals, asexuals do not actively desire said sexual actions and will not miss said acts at all if denied to them.

Keeping Track

So it’s been a while since I’ve made even the slightest attempt to track my writing or writing numbers, not that I’ve been idle or anything. So I’ve decided to start up again—on July 2nd. I’ll post the previous day’s numbers for completed work only. As nice as it is to track raw numbers, I’ve decided that completed work is more useful and a lot easier to pull off too. That will put me with exactly three months of blackout: April through June.

In the meantime, I’ve actually written some stuff and am writing some stuff and I need to get back to reading. I seem to be stuck on Kingdoms and Thorn for original fiction just now, plus some one-offs, and poetry. I still think that logically I should focus on Seven Days, but yeah, let’s go with what’s rolling.
