Interesting article in HuffPost

It is a personal account from a woman who got a job narrating erotica and how it ended up improving her life. Worth the two minutes.

How one person's mind works amazes me, and this proves everyone can react to something different, although this wouldn't be how the average person would have grown into the kind of person one desired to be.

She identified trauma, which normally requires some kind of psychological counseling, but the article never listed she received any. Other things that jumped out were that she wasn't confident, too introverted and didn't know herself well at all. For example, had she read "Confidence" by Alan McGuiness, "How to Make Love All the Time" from Barbara DeAngelis, "Men Are from Mars and Women Are from Venus" by John Gray and related authors, they list different things you can do to identify what you need and what you're missing, and even give you tons of suggestions how to deal with those situations. You can accurately identify your personality type by looking up the meaning of your name (from the Kabalarians), taking tests on your favorite and least-favorite colors... I would also suspect she was far more right-brained than left, or her mind would never have plugged all the gaps had she been left-brained; only a right-brained person with a small part of the whole could create something so radically different to fill in the rest of the "puzzle" that her mind and psyche needed to reach her needed level of personal and mental satisfaction. Very different!

Very interesting. Now I'll have to read one of her books.

It's a pretty powerful means of editing, I've found. I read aloud as a final pass over the most important sections, just to listen for anything I've missed. It becomes more real somehow.

I was reading (New Scientist, not Lit) that listening to a book bypasses certain critical filters that get applied when you read a book, to become more immersive for the reader/listener. Erotica would seem to be the ideal subject matter for that process. Ever found that?
