Sneaky Peeking

[wildsweetone]

The Earl wrote a story recently about being on a plane and writing and the person in the next seat peeking at the writer's work. (From a Boeing 747)

SexyChele mentioned in the SDC she'd had a 'nosey seat mate' on a flight also.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to my son's hockey game taking my notepad and pen with me because the urge to write was stuck in my craw. I sneaked off into the main building, found a chair by the window so I could keep one eye on the game while I wrote.

Within moments I had a crowd around me and not many of them were looking at the game. Each time I turned to look for the reason the hair on the back of my neck was standing on end, I found a couple of pairs of eyes staring at my notepad.

Half of me wanted to run screaming from the room, and half of me wanted to stay and keep writing just to see what the peekers would do.

I found it strangely exciting and completely disconcerting at the same time.

Has anybody else had something similar happen?

Dear WSO,
Try taking out a sketch pad while waiting at an airport.
MG

 

[wildsweetone]

lol You know, I am so going to try that MG!

Actually, come to think of it, when i take my handwritten shopping list with me for groceries, I get people trying to read over my shoulder there too. Maybe I should carry a pre drawn sketch of a svelt and sensuous naked body as a cover. I don't want everybody buying the same kinds of groceries that I buy.

*killing myself laughing*

It's going to be a fun weekend!

WSO, I loved that story of Earl's (and have let him know). Here's an idea for those w/bucks to spare:

Get a wireless laptop and browse Lit. while waiting in a grocery line, on a plane or train, at a kid's sports event. There may well be a Lit. pal peeking over your shoulder.

best, Perdita

perdita, would that i could dear i'd sure make fantastically good use of a wireless laptop. i think they're about ten thousand lightyears away from me ever being able to afford one.

LOL have been known to attract a crowd whilst sat outside the cathedral in my home town, sketching...

Cool, a thread about my story. I feel so fulfilled. That's the thing with writing or drawing. You immediately get a crowd centred around trying to see exactly what you're doing. Is it because you're the only person in the room who's creating?

Luvvy,

I think the thread is not so much about your story but about WSO's idea; however, inspired by your story, and so the thread might be said to be inspired by you and your creative skills.

Want me to start a thread about you and your eyebrows?

I had a 5-hour train journey a few weeks ago, and spent most of it working on a non-erotic scene on my laptop. I was facing backwards against the luggage rack so nobody could see around, but even so I had to wear headphones and turn them right up to get over the feeling that I was being watched.

I have another train journey soon, I will try writing a screen-meltingly erotic lesbian teasing shower scene, just to see what happens... However it is likely my boss will be sat next to me at the time.

Ax, man, be sure and use a 'huge' font size (even if it doesn't include any male 'members'). But have another open window if your boss is about.

I see it as rude. I would have started writing about the people looking over my shoulder, making comments about their lack of sexual power, lack of ability to arouse me, lack of this, lack of that, and maybe talk about their physical features with humorous overtones. I would have made sure everyone reading over my shoulder knew who I was talking about. That way, I would also be sure they all knew I knew they were being rude. I don't care for rude people.

I might also ask them what they thought a character should do next. After all, they were reading...

I wonder if this is because you are a woman, WSO. I don't think I would have someone reading over my shoulder. I am of more intimidating stature. And there is something kinkily erotic about a woman who writes porn, you know?

About Those Peeping Toms

I don't mind folks looking over my shoulder to see what I'm writing. What does bug me is when they start giggling or gagging.

LOL!

 

[Quasimodem]

I believe in practicality.

Turn to them and say:

"As long as you are reading, anyway, would you mind checking for typos?"

Pragmatically yours . . .

Cool, a thread about my story. I feel so fulfilled.

I'm glad I managed to fulfill you via the thread dear.

JustLegal should i ask what you were sketching?

SlaveMasterUK You sat backwards for five hours writing in a train? Man are you nuts or what? That'd make me feel soooo ill.

*checking* Yes I am a woman, but I think anyone who is writing or drawing is a magnet for somebody who is curious. Maybe they're a creative person themselves. And yep, it does feel rude to have someone staring over my shoulder at what I'm doing. Strangely I get a feeling of rude/excitement. As for me being kinkily erotic because I write porn, thank you dear And people who are watching me are not really truely aware of exactly what I'm writing, are they? Are they?

Rumple Foreskin Oh dear! They don't gag do they? Gee whizz I've never had anyone do that, yet. At least not that i'm aware of, heck i could have been right into the story and totally unaware though. gosh!

I'm sure that would never happen to anyone reading any of your stories. It's just we poor hacks who must remember to wear ponchos while working in public.

Yeah right. If it hasn't happened then I'm sure sooner or later it will.

I do this often at work. My boss has a habit of looking over my shoulder when I'm typing emails or reports; if it goes on for more than a minute I start a new sentence headed "this is fascinating isn't it. You will be able to read the finished version this afternoon. Please stop reading over my shoulder." and then continue without a second word...

If and when I write my lesbian shower scene on the train, I will probably start writing comments about anyone who I think is reading in big bold text...

Magdalena pranced about pinkly in the open shower stall, while Karen gawked from behind the medicine cabinet, not unlike this hump in the fedora craning its noodle over my shoulder like a harpy on a three-hour furlough. . . .

I'm planning on dodging the hockey game tonight. Hoping for some 'home alone' time instead.

...the trouble is, do you guys/gals realise that the little snippets of scenes you're posting are causing story ideas to flash around in amongst my two lonely brain cells much as a streaker at a cricket match, or two front rowers in daggerlike eye contact with fists of shirts between them?

damn, where was i...
