LOVER BY CHANCE (Erotic Audio Role-play 18+)

aline i just saw this!! i hope the past 3 weekends that have gone by since you typed this have gone well 🤣 💗

aleigh -`♡´-

I’ll even check your pipes while I’m at it! Lol consider me a professional drummer🪘🪘

Venusinaphrodite_

Well, my kitchen is pretty small, so why don’t you just play my booty like bongo drums while I’m bent over the sink? 😜

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

Do you still need help cleaning later I have two free hands that need something to do😇

Venusinaphrodite_

I wasn’t wearing my apron while I was listening… or panties either. 😏

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

Were you wearing your apron while listening👀😈

Venusinaphrodite_

Yeah kickin butt!!!!!🙌🏼 I just got done running errands and buying some new succulents. I saw the pattern name and was like today is the day🥵😅 lol💜

Venusinaphrodite_

🥒🍞?? Nice. It's 11:45am and I'm excited you're excited.

BEST DAY EVER! It is Tuesday and PMM dropped a pattern. I’m so excited. It is 8:09 am and I have done some work in my well work and made zucchini bread, showered oh man I am on fire today! Getting stuff done. Woohoo. Tuesday people ( or Wednesday for some) audio day. 😄

Ann

You're the sweetest! 🥰🥰🥰 Oh, I hope some day you can read it!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Aline

Line wtf! Sorry 😂 the book sounds absolutely amazing and I've no words how much I'd like to read it even more now hahahahah🥰 It was a beautiful unexpected gift for you to talk about it more and explain so in depth, truly, I mean it. I'm so happy you shared about it. I can feel my heart shaking a little ahahhah 🫂💜

Katja

Katie. 🤣 Would it be better if I spell it haaaaaawt? I just wanted to emphasize the vowel, leave me alone! 😆

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

🦉🦉🦉😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥵🥵🥵

Katie

That was awesome! Thank you.

Ann

After days of binge-cleaning I finally got around to listening. A little late to the party, I know. 😅 Smack my ass and call me Shirley! This was hooooot. Very reminiscent of some of the older audios. Seductive with a bit of direction thrown in. 🤤 I’ve noticed there’s been some more spanks lately. Mmmmmm love it so much! Still trying to cool off so I can get just a bit more cleaning done tonight. Might need to steady my wobbly legs. 😅

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

I can't even think of a response as to have fabulous that was! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dawn

Katja, I love where your head has sailed because Resistindo A Um Libertino has a lot of that relationship weird and real balance. In some moments, Matthieu is more present emotionally and in others Gwendolyn gives him more. Still, I like how they both act on it. Even if they are reluctant, they are still adept at listening to each other, even when the sparks of attraction speak loudly or even repulsion - they really tried to keep their distance. Still, both manage to dance in this fun seduction game. When they finally get together, it's Gwendolyn that undresses and takes action. I wanted to deconstruct this concept of man needing to get the first step, because even though it's set in the 19th century, Gwen has a mentality ahead of time and fights for what she wants. Anyway, yes, I completely agree. This 50/50 is impossible and I particularly love to create this dance of giving and receiving in different and complementary ways, as long as both sides are willing to receive when there is an emotional donation and also the opposite of that. I worked on this scene and Matthew was particularly citing the erotic scene between the two of them, because I put a very interesting emotional weigh on it- they held back so much, they tried to emotionally guard themselves, and when Matthieu finally has her, everything he wants... is spending the rest of his life by her side. Thank you for reading the metaphor analysis, but also for sharing your heart with us. It was a beautiful unexpected gift to receive your words about Libertino. 💜🥰

Aline

A lemon 😂 and I thought you didn't know who he was PQ 😅 oops! He is really great and the accent is one of my faves.

Dee! Isn't he handsome 🤤! He's a really great actor but this skit had me squeezing my thighs harder than firm lemon 🤣!

Pisces Queen

Dawn. Wow! No picture it never happened 😉That is great. No thank you but wow good for you! 🪂

Ann

I’m glad you clarified, because I honestly wasn’t sure… but you’re an incredibly grounded and intelligent woman so your explanation only confirms what I already know. Whenever my day, is more on the gray side… Just the existence of Ann makes it the BDE. (So does my doggie too I hope that’s okay 😆😆😆) AND CRAMPS CAN SUCK IT! 😘

Katie

Dawn… skydiving!?!??!?

Katie

😅🥹🥰😭 I am so overwhelmed by and obsessed with you all. I felt better after writing this, and then came back to read what you wrote and I just couldn’t even do it. The love that exists here is just more than I have ever known. Thank you for reassuring, relating, listening, just doing so many wonderful things so well. I just 😭😭😭❤️💜❤️💜 (Kate 😂😂😂😘😘😘🏹) I want to say more but I am going to absorb all of this for now. ❤️

Katie

Oooh that gorgeous guy is James McAvoy and damn it, he got me! 😂😂😅 I lolled 💻💦

Thank you Matt, you have made what was a shitty day into much much better night 😘😜🌊.

Ms B Have

Saw this sexy little Tik Tok with this gorgeous guy. I sometimes wonder if Professor Harris does this on his computer with us🤣🤣🤣: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMNWBABCs/

Pisces Queen

From the poem analysis: "And although we see the hourglass as two sections, it’s actually made from only one piece of glass, and it’s a whole. Like a couple in love, they’re themselves and separate, but also one." - brb, choking on my tears🤧 this is so gorgeously said, I can't. But it also reminds me how we often say that a good relationship should be 50-50 while I think that's actually quite limiting and even unrealistic, as if humans can perform like robots and always be able to “do their part”. Sometimes I'll have to do “more” and that's ok. Besides, how conditional would it be to measure a relationship (any kind of) like this. I really believe that it comes down to choices. Choosing to love each other even if it's hard at times, probably especially when it's hard (obv this applies to generally healthy relationships). I also read the description of Resistindo a um Libertino, and I can't believe this books exists and I can't read it 😭 I just know I'd love it to bits😩🥺 and it's not just bc of Matt's name in french 😂

Katja

Hey Katie😟....just saw this post and I stand in solidarity with you for as long as you need. Narcissistic behavior is challenging (I deal with it daily at work and in my personal life) These are some tips (if I can share with you) that have worked for me (they work most ofthe time without me wasting my energy and time) Tip 1# Never argue with them. Periodt! They love this stuff and want to see their target get mad. Do not reason with them! Just make a clear statement that you will not engage in their questioning and remain calm (even though you want to smash your coffee cup in their face) Tip#2 Your response statement matters for your own protection. Listen to the ramble...stay silent...then respond with carefully chosen words and make your response have no inflection of emotions in it. Once they sense your getting emotional they will use it to their advantage to get you. I also like to lower my voice and when their raving on about whatever...and they ask are you hearing me...I say in a monotone voice Yes I can hear you're projecting voice...go on...this takes them a back Tip #3 No engagement: when the Narcs in my life come to me with bullshit and it is not a sound argument or its not an important life or death situation, I will simply in my masculine energy state to them: Thank you for your (whatever they are rambling on about). At this time, I cannot help you and I will not be delving back into the past to trigger me. I do not live in the past. I exist in the present. I will not be engaging in this discussion any further [This is when the f bombs drop, being called everything under the sun, death threats...it's great] Then you either excuse yourself, walk away or hang up the phone] After you session with a Narcissist please go for a walk, deep breathing exercise, cry into a pillow or whatever makes you feel good to release that toxic energy that was projected onto you. A nice warm luxuriant bath with your fav bubble bath, roses in your water, add sea salt to cleanse the bad aura of the engagement and some candles (with chocolate and wine) help too. Old PQ would literally box a person in their face, cuss out their whole family line and get super petty with it (PQ has her moments when it's called for without getting arrested 😒 🤣) but....Katie my darling - you're too gorgeous to let punks get you down! It's a process dealing with assholes but we're all here for you! You're never alone! 😘🤗

Pisces Queen

Yes! Tandem jump Saturday at 6pm. I haven’t been this excited since my grandbaby was born!

Dawn

It is Ann! I'm being super productive and it's the first day of the fall semester at work! Also going sky diving this coming weekend! Super day

Dawn

Love don’t blame yourself. Narcissists are unbelievably good about lulling people into a sense of safety and security. That they’re different than what they actually are. Or that they’ve changed, etc. you’re having the response that people like that want us to feel. Like it’s on us for their behavior. Or that we’ve done something wrong in a situation. Of course we have accountability. And it’s something I think a lot of us struggle with. But you’re being so responsible with yourself by recognizing your triggers and when you’re triggered. That you recognized that you weren’t misreading the situation. When before their behavior probably got excused you know. But also for letting yourself feel the emotion, even if it’s icky and uncomfortable instead of going numb and telling yourself it’s all in your head. I’ve had that moment like “all this work and I’m the same stupid girl” I get it completely. But neither of us are because we know when the way someone is interacting with us is wrong instead of accepting it. You’re not alone, we’re always here for you and we love you very much. My inbox is always open too ok I don’t care what time. It’s ok to make mistakes or misjudge or think that we’re ready for a situation and then realize we’re not. You did exactly what you were supposed to do. You got triggered and then stepped back. You did so good for being able to voice it and ask for someone to sit with you emotionally instead of making yourself go through it alone. It’s gonna be ok. We’ll get there.

Venusinaphrodite_

🎉 Woohoo 🥳. BEST DAY EVER HAPPENING NOW. Enjoy it people. It’s all about the mindset. 😎

Ann

🤣 I love that 👭✨️

The hope is that I wouldn't be able to walk lol

Dawn

Oh, Agatha... 🧐

ਏFallaਓ

When we feel hesitant to share emotions, it's because they're talking too loud inside our head, and it's hard to process them. The fact that you came here to speak, I will say that this is so healing. It's good to hear your pains and your joys, because I've known you long enough to know that you didn't share them before. Katie, if I could get all the people who trigger negative emotions away from you, I would. As I can't beat them all, all I have are my words and the way I can take care of your heart. You can't blame youself for NOT noticing. People with narcissistic traits are difficult to identify and we never think that it can be someone next to us or someone that we love or care. Don't blame yourself, you were emotionally involved in the matter and our point of view changes, you know. Know that you are strong for realizing it, you are strong for admitting narcissism in the other, you are being strong for sharing it now. I'm proud of you. And I love you.

ਏFallaਓ

Misery loves company, I regret nothing! 😂 And you know Dee, the more of your comments I read the more I think it's impossible for us to ever be seen in the same room together... 🧐😂

The buckle popped and the panties dropped. Lol. I saw and heard it and was 🥵🤣 omg not the belt! Plus, we might possibly be getting a moving image of that pitched tent 🕵‍♀️🥴🤞😅. I can't - Agatha why are you making me turn into a girly puddle this early in the morning?? Hahaa

I am so very sorry you were triggered and if I could go karate chop the people who did the triggering I would in a heartbeat. Good job getting it out of your head as that is half the battle. I wish you wouldn't blame yourself too much. You were brave and took a chance and allowed yourself to be vulnerable. Sadly it didn't work but that isn't your fault it is theirs. I can't tell you how many times I find myself surprised by my mother. I don't know why I keep stepping on those landmines but I do. I took me years to finally realize that it wasn't me it was her and to just let it go. Now can I totally let it go? No but I can more than before. I mean she is my mom and inherently I have a certain expectations and she blows them out of the water regularly. I am not suggesting that our situations are the same but I hope that you can draw comfort from the fact that 1 you are not alone and 2 knowing that you are human and to give yourself grace. #Katieissobrave

Ann

Katie Thank you for lovely comment. I so appreciate you love and support. I also feel I should clarify. I know that having the best day ever isn't going to be all smiles and good times. What it means to me is taking the good with the bad but not dwelling on the negative. Yes I am supremely sad that my aunt is struggling with dementia and I am feeling a sense of grief but I don't want to just dwell on the grief by itself because it isn't just about grief but also about love, and happiness, and joy, and terror, and uncertainty, and a whole mix of emotions. I recognize this and I don't want to get mired down in the negative only but remain immersed in the whole. The BEST DAY EVER is just my call to myself to not forget about the good and the positive that happens with the crap. The dark and light coexist along with grey and so many other colors. I don't want to live always in the murkier shades. It is easy to get stuck and I don't want to be stuck. So it won't be all smiles but it won't also be all tears. Thank you for providing me with an opportunity to think further and clarify my thoughts. Last night I slept about 3 hours. I have cramps (aunt Flo at age 55 is cruel) and I am sitting here staring at my writing feeling like I have no brains but I am smiling thinking of you. I am excited about tomorrows audio post and the upcoming pattern drop sometime this week. My cousin/best friend spent the night here last night and we will spend the day together when she wakes up. I promise you I am feeling my cramps and I am so tired and insecure but I won't dwell on it. I am thinking of the nice things today will bring. BEST DAY EVER happening now. #thankyouKatie #BDE

Ann

Non-related ramble: I haven’t felt this disoriented in a while. I haven’t ever hesitated in sharing like I feel I am now, and I guess it’s because I perceive my pain and anxiety as self inflicted. Because once again, I was in the vicinity of the males that trigger me and I let my guard down… thinking that maybe they could still surprise me. And I went into conversations being hesitant but then after moments of neutrality I said maybe I’m perceiving this incorrectly. But I was not. And I got triggered and I’ve been blaming myself for knowing better and not acting on it. Narcissists are so dangerous. I still am feeling so uncomfortable so I think I’ll post it to get it out of my head and into the universe a give myself a chance to move forward (and then maybe delete it later)

Katie

You're welcome, but maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it and let you enjoy the mercifulness of blissful ignorance. 😂

👏👏👏👏 Thank you!!!!! 🪦🪦🪦🪦

Katie

Ann, my dear. I missed you so much during your break. I will always be amazed at how our brains collect and process information and the nonsense that it can whip up while we are even unconscious. What you are going through with your aunt is so difficult, Ann. & while I love you always being one to shift to a positive mindset… it’s also okay to sit in all of those emotions when they happen. It can still be a BDE even if it isn’t all smiles. Just showing yourself compassion can be so good for the brain and the body. (Ugh those ulcers Ann! I’m so sorry). I’m so grateful you shared. I noticed yesterday that I was putting a wall up. I wanted to share something and I talked myself out of it 4 or 5 times. So thank you for reminding me that it’s okay to be vulnerable and practicing that here has helped me so much in getting through the day. I love you so much.

Katie

It appears on the screen at the end of this audio as a recommendation, or you can directly see it on Matthew's Vimeo account.

Where is this said trailer you speak of???

Katie

Thanks for the birthday wishes 💜 😘😘😘😘😘

Katie

I've watched the trailer for the video I don't know how many times already - there's unbuckling, being tied down with desire to get me "feeling safe" and being under your "care and control", and at the very end a glimpse of you leaning over me in bed. And all that in just a 20 second trailer. The anticipation for what's more to come this week is killing me.

Dee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣truth!

Dawn

I agree you need no advice, but know you are seen and heard. It takes courage to feel your feelings and speak honestly. Hugs to you. Know there are gifts in sadness... it speaks to how much you honor and love your Aunt and the memories, as well as moments yet to come. 💜 Keep being brave and showing up with courage...you're living fully.

D

Your kindness abounds. I'm SO glad it brought you joy. 😘💜💜💜

D

Kathryn I am so so glad you asked. No I haven't had it slip out. I have had Nora and Osci 2 both inch their way out or just squirt on out all of a sudden at the worst possible times. That is why I like Dolce so much. It is in and it stays in. I asked my ex husband to try anal and he was not on board. Sigh. So I am a complete novice. I have the smallest one and it works fine. I want to get the next size up because I am curious. LUBE is your friend with anal and honestly everything for me. I just recently saw that Foria.com where is get my cbd lube has some anal inserts for women. Not plugs or anything but like warming lube inserts. I am intrigued. I use the Hush along with other toys and I was thinking that it might get pushed out because of the combined pressure of both toys but nah so far so good. The super fun thing is that it is connected to the patterns and Lovense has made it so you can play two toys at the same time. It is pretty cool. I will have to make a date with Hush when I get back from Seattle this week. What a fun question. Thank you.

Ann

DEE!!! 🤤 I did not know about him. Thank you for introducing us.😆 💜

Kathryn

Thank Ann!!!!! I love you!!!!

Katie

Kathryn, have you seen this guy? He bakes but he also shows the clean-up process ♨️🧽 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CbLVEGsN-ao/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

24 hours with you Dawn? Me thinks he wouldn't be able to walk afterwards and... https://tenor.com/bvntb.gif

I'm so glad you're able to check-in here and share. You don't need advice but I just want to say I'm amazed and inspired by your ability to change your mindset and re-direct. I'm really sorry things are so tough. But I'm also happy you treated yourself to that coffee 😘. BDE.

Ann (or anyone else who feels like weighing in) ... if you see this, I was reading your comments re: Lovense toys to Cindy above. I wanted to ask you about the Hush. I haven't done much anal experimenting, but I'm turning to this more and more due to my issues getting off. While I don't think butt-stuff will ever be a main course for me, it is sometimes the only way I can get the rest of my equipment to turn the corner from an endless loop of "oooh😚 > that's nice 🤤 >nope, its gone🥺" to "ooh 😚 > that's nice ☺️ > right there 🤤> I'm gonna come 🥵> yes! 💦". So, the questions... Do you ever have issues with the Hush being pushed out unintentionally? (I have 1 plug that I use now and I don't know if its a bad overall size/shape for me or if it's that there isn't much narrowing between the thickest part and the base... but it frequently pops out if I'm not paying attention or move in certain ways. This has happened at, shall we say *critical* moments several times and it is infuriating!) Do you feel like the smallest one is "novice-friendly"? (I tried to size them up but I'm not good with spatial concepts.) 😊

Kathryn

Thank you for the backup, T! 💜 Ann ❤️ haha I sure was relaxed. Ah you restarting the audio is interesting and rather sweet! A good point - yes it matters not but we may have a tweaked perspective. Yess precisely! Thanks for expressing it in more eloquent terms, Aline. The impossible does sound exciting...😌

Ann, the hardest part about having realistic dreams like this is the fact that emotions feel more real. But the fact that you changed your mind, as Kelsey said, it's so amazing. I'm so sorry and your aunt... oh, God. My grandmother had dementia and I followed it very closely, if you need to talk, I'm here. 💜

Aline

D, I've always loved your comments here, but I think this last one I want to engrave in my heart, because it's my writing that you're saying and it moves me so much to read this and your comparisons to music. 💜 I can understand you perfectly. We can hear the same song through different voices, and each time we play it, it will be different. I think so, it's seeing a lot of Matt through my eyes, through a female point of view of what he does, romanticizing even his work from an emotional point of view, because I needed the story to take the romance path. It's so beautiful to see how you understand between the lines, how you feel this nuance, it just gives me a glimpse of how incredibly incredible your hearts are. Anyway, I'm happy with your comment. You made my Sunday so sweet. 💜 Thank-you!

Aline

Aline😍!!! If you see this it's Sunday 12:32pm EST (Toronto time) but wholeheartedly I want to THANK YOU for answering my questions! You are a beautiful, genuine, awesome human being and I am grateful to know you! I have lots to ponder but you gave me a spark to reignite a passion of mine that I have been holding back. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU 😘 🙏 😊!!!

Pisces Queen

Not Aunt Flo too😭😭😭 yes take all the time to do lots of nothings before the somethings💜

Venusinaphrodite_

24 hours with him, that's all I'm asking for. 🥴

Dawn

Yes, exactly, Aline! It is a different essence, but you still captured Matt perfectly. In a way I suppose it's like experiencing him through your eyes. I've always believed the way someone thinks is reflected in their speaking and writing. There are patterns in cadence and fluidity that are unique in writing...just as your own fingerprint is unique. For me writing imprints like music. I can hear a song and a few notes are identical to a few notes from a different piece of music though it may have been written by a different composer. But with lyrics, I'll often hear a line and say that sounds like so an so's writing...and often it's the exact writer I thought it was!

D

You're always so kind, Ann! Thank you.

D

Thanks Kels it will all be good. To top it off though I just got a visit from Aunt Flo and her minions cramp and bloat. She doesn’t come around often thankfully but ugh. 🤣. I am officially giving myself the morning off and will start working later. Today calls for grace.

Ann

So far away yet he is responsible for so much of the mess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ann

I’m sorry about the night terror😞 they’re definitely unsettling and leave you on edge. But I’m so proud of you for being able to examine it and having the understanding of what and why. I think sometimes it’s easier to get stuck in the fear mindset afterwards. I hope there’s lots of happy moments in the here and now. And as things go on I hope they’re there too. Maybe what those happy moments will look like might change, maybe they’ll be harder to see sometimes, but they’ll be there❤️ Here’s a hug to go with your coffee lovebug🤗 so smart with the headphones! I used to always scramble when mine went lol and 8+ hrs of sleep is the stuff of legends😱🙌🏼

Venusinaphrodite_

Oh, D! 💜 How nice to know you liked it. Yes, it has a different essence, right? You feel it's not Matthew's writing, although it's somehow his essence as a dirty talker. I'm glad you liked it! 🤗

Aline

It's interesting that you pointed this out, because yes, Secret has Matthew's essence, with romantic tweaks on my part - a more feminine and even more fanciful point of view, perhaps? Of course, in my book the impossible happens (you will understand when you read it). 🤣 But it is a mixture of two worlds, which have mixed again, and have come to you. A little of his essence, a little of mine. When you read the book, precisely because you know Matthew, you will know exactly where these waters divide. Thanks for the love, Dee! I hope that you enjoyed! 😘🤗

Aline

I think if Matthew and I managed to combine our writing powers, it would be an atomic bomb in the world of romance novels. 😳 Oh, Aleigh! Thank you for selecting the quotes you liked the most. We planned this so lovingly with you and my readers in mind. Thank you for participating. I loved being with you! 💜💜💜💜

Aline

Thinking of Matt as I change my sheets. It makes me sad that you live so far away...from my bed. 🛏😪

Dawn

I had a dream. No make that a nightmare although nightmare seems to infantile a word for it. Not terror but maybe. I tend to have lucid dreams so rarely do I have really bad dreams because I can usually just walk out of it when it is going bad. Not last night. It started slow then it quickly devolved. I couldn't do anything. It was gross and now I feel gross. It was so real. But it wasn't real. I am sitting her with a cup of coffee (sorry ulcer you are going to have to suffer) because tea just didn't seem like it would be enough and I am trying to shake of the unsettling sense of fear, violation, anxiety, and just ick that it left me with. I am at my aunt's house and for those who have been here I have shared pictures of where she lives. Paradise. I love it here. This weekend has been hard because she is declining faster than we want her too and it is taking an emotional toll on her. Funny how grief slips in before it is warranted. Just a little bit. Oh and my sleep headphones are no longer functioning. RIP Sleep headphones you served me well over the past year or so. BEST DAY EVER HAPPENING NOW! Here is how I am going to change the trajectory of the day. My dream...it was a dream only a dream and even if it seemed real it wasn't. Elements may have been taken from memory but it is not the here and now. So I am going to let it go. My aunt has dementia and it is what it is. I will be sad from time to time and maybe even more and more as time passes but we are great friends and I will focus on the fun and laughter. I will appreciate the peace of her place and do my best not to mourn in advance her going and losing this place that is so beautiful. Enjoy the moment. As for my headphones hahaha I love a backup. I ordered a backup sleep headphones a couple of weeks ago because it has been over a year and I didn't want to be without. AND the biggest thing is that even though it came at a cost (dream) I slept over 8 hours last night. With Matthew's voice 5 to 7 hours is my range. Pre Matthew 3-5 hours was it. But 8+ I am shocked and feel slightly hungover despite not drinking alcohol the night before. Could I dwell on the dream and everything else and just sit here feeling icky? Yep but how would that help me in anyway? So I am going to find the good amongst the grossness and focus on that and you know bring it to the surface. BEST DAY EVER! It is all about the mindset. 💜

Ann

Happy weekend D. I am so happy you made it to the party. 🤗

Ann

Dee is relaxed and I like it. I also followed you This was different. Good but different. It's funny because the first part of the Snuggle audio with the heart beat, Matthew takes a breath or sighs or something but it sounds like him. I have to always start there. If the audio has already started and I wasn't settled I have to go back and start at the beginning. Even if it isn't his voice I can hear him. Same with the writing and this was a combination. Very interesting. Then again we knew that going in with this audio and maybe that knowledge changed our perspective? We will never know but I doubt it. Not too much anyway. Hope you had a good time when you were out. 🤗

Ann

I follow you! That makes total sense.

Titania

Bravo! I'm an entire day late to this party. The writing is beautiful, Aline. It captures Matthew perfectly, but the words are slightly different than when Matt pens them. My mind is trying to wrap around hearing the slightly different perspective and tone in the familiar voice that feels like home. I look forward to one day reading the words on a page. Happy weekend! 😘💜🤗

D

Hey all. Yesterday was a long day/night for me and when I woke up today all that sprung to mind from passing out after listening to the audio was, "ok this f&cked me uuuuup". 😂😅 but in a good way! It's pretty interesting. I'm home now. I've had a few drinks 😅. So lemme try to get this out because I wanna. There was a different feel on the first listen. It's technically Matt's writing/content absorbed and filtered through Aline's mind, translated into a male character, and now preformed back by Matt but it's now a woman's words. There's an understanding only she/an avid fan/a woman could bring to the table. Therefore the audio feels meta in a way. Follow me? 😅 So I can only say there was obviously a different feel and that of course technically this was Matt's first actual acting gig?? 🤔. Anyway - congrats on this literary love child you two 🥂 Oh almost forgot, "it's nobody's business" 🔥 makes me think of a sexy/sad song I love https://open.spotify.com/track/7nAlg457jECNXuwbxMRkPB?si=8leq3oqFRgS_erveLStTrQ&utm_source=copy-link

Aline and Matt, you two are a lethal combination. Its good you live a giant ocean apart. If you had all of these skills amplified by geographical proximity, you'd be a danger to societies. Finally got to give it a good listen. Highlights for me: - 'Hey dreamgirl' Those words literally smacked into me. I gasped. I was not prepared. - '...my hand taking yours. My fingers intertwining with your, making the perfect fit' Legit felt a tingle in my the palm of my hand. - 'Turn off your rational thoughts.' Pfft, please! 😆 I haven't had one of those on a Fri or tue night since I joined up. That is not a thing you need to worry about. - 'Imagine my body pressing into yours... rolling on top of you... if its happening in my mind and in yours, who can say it isn't' I 💯 did and it 💯 happened. (Sorry if I grabbed on with my fingernails too rough. I got a little excited. 🤗) - 'Open up. I'm gonna put my finger inside you' The "I wish you f#cking would" (IWYFW®️) of the day. - 'I need to get inside you' 😳🥵💦🤤🤗 - 'I can't stop. I don't wanna stop.' Please, don't stop under any circumstances! - The 'fuck...yeah' at 12:28. That's a p#ssy-clencher. - '...coming to lie on my chest. Stroking your back...' ALL THE 🦋🦋🦋S! Seriously, great work to you both! And thank you Aline for taking time to answer our questions. 💋

Kathryn

I love this thread. Damage control team! 🤣🤣 Too true! It's a good thing Matt has his online life locked down.

Titania

Well, I can say that I liked it and it really gave me some idea of what the story is about. Thanks

NakedAlice

That's the best thing ever!

Dawn

It's the universe's fault this time, it didn't come from my imagination. 😂🤣

Aline

I need a post-reading survival team. 😂 People will be hung over from Matthew and won't be able to have a normal life. 😂 Other than that they're already saying that I've ruined their lives, since Matthew is real and exists.' 😅 BUT THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!!!! Does anyone complain to the universe for creating a perfect man?!!! 😂

Aline

By "Thirst control" team, I was thinking more of the help you'll need with all the requests for a Matthew introduction, redirected invoices for therapists and cardiologists, and readers straight up suing your ass for lost wages due to taking too many "sick days" on Fridays and Tuesdays. 😂

Re: Matt the Merry Maid... Have ya'll seen this guy? 🥵🤤🥰 https://www.facebook.com/reel/792256638463166?s=yWDuG2&fs=e

Kathryn

Best day ever is my new mantra because of you. 😘

Aline

It was really a very innovative thing. The authors only have the book cover models, but never a real character that can exist and continue to interact after the book ends. I really wanted my readers to have this, and even though the language barrier is complex, I'm happy to see them using the translator to communicate with Matt, following him on Instagram and some coming here. I think it's super different and you'll fall in love even more after meeting Secret! Brazilians are passionate and there are readers saying 'Introduce me to Matt!' Hahahaha It's fun, but yes, a team to control the damage that Matt is going to do in Brazil. You know, we don't have earthquakes here, but now we have Matt Tower. 😂😂😂

Aline

You as well Kate. 🥰

Ann

You're welcome, it was my pleasure, and I've seen some other interesting questions posted after you left that I look forward to reading your responses to when I get home. 👀

Yep, sounds about right, I wasn't expecting anything less. 😂 It really was a unique idea what you pulled with the Secret, I've never heard anyone doing such a creative collaboration. So often, when we read books (or watch movies, or series), we want to learn more about a character we like, but are limited with what the author gives us and the long periods of time between books. So it must be insanely exciting for your readers to be able to for the first time simply google that character to find out more about them, interact with them, and get frequent updates about them. And with your readers already getting so frenzied over Matthew, I can't imagine how it'll be when the book comes out and they have some context from your story. 😅 You should probably start looking into assembling some sort of "Thirst control" team to handle that part of business. 😂

Happy Birthday? Did I read that correctly below? Well Katie if it is indeed your birthday then #HappyBirthdayToYou!!!! BEST YEAR EVER STARTING NOW! 🤗

Ann

It is hard to be a single mom. I hear you.

Ann

BEST DAY EVER starting early today. I got an amazing 5 hours of sleep and got to work straight off on one of the worst things on my 'to do' list. 2.5 hours later it is done as is another task. It is 7 am and I have finished two projects. It feels good. Mindset is key. I hope everyone has a phenomenal weekend full of fun, rest, and relaxation.

Ann

💜💜💜

Aline

How I missed this comment of Matt? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aline

Ah, that's exactly why we write series! 🥰 It's interesting that you mention that, because that's why Amante Por Acaso and the De La Vega series exist. My readers loved Namorado Por Acaso so much, they wanted the stories of the protagonist's cousins, Hugo. He really is a caring man, and they imagined his cousins would be the same way. So I had to do the De La Vega series, because I knew they couldn't say goodbye to this world... not yet. You are wonderful, Ann!

Aline

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Aline

I love you guys more!

Aline

Agathaaaa, thank you for reading everything! You know that this group means so much to me and you guys means even more! Thank you so much. 🥰

Aline

Agatha, it's so special that you see Matthew's meta audios, it means I've done my job with you all in my mind! 🥰 You don't know how happy that makes me. I was a little devil yeah, my readers didn't know this world and yesterday they heard an erotic audio for the first time. I'm already getting messages like 'You're going to pay my therapist.' 'You will pay my cardiologist.' 'How do you introduce me to this man like that?' 😂😂😂😂

Aline

Have a great weekend, my love! 🥰

Aline

Hi my goddess! Thank you for the extremely nice questions. You are special to me, and you know it. 💜 I'm glad you loved the songs at the beginning of the chapters. You know, I like the characters to have a soundtrack, like a movie. 🥰 1. How long do you research your themes or character creations? R: It depends on the book. For example, Resistindo A Um Libertino, I spent more than 6 months studying the period of France in which I set the story. I read many classics of the time, I tried to understand what French society was like in that period - the soirées and balls, the court of a lady, the problems of society and the realistic historical background. With the Viajando com Rockstars series, they are a world famous band, so they travel on tour. I literally had to plan a tour as if it were going to happen, so I could set the story. Show location. Audience capacity. Hotels where they would stay. Places to visit, that weren't so public because they were famous. It was super exhausting planning a tour of Europe that never happened, I got tired like it was really going to be real. Some books, however, are faster. When the character's profession isn't so complex or when the setting doesn't need to be so detailed... 2. Besides Matthew, have you ever been inspired by other people around (example you glimpse someone in your daily life and think they would be an excellent candidate for your next story) R: I've been inspired by funny phrases I've been told by friends or situations that friends of mine have gone through, but I've never been inspired by a real person to create a character or an entire story. If a friend has a bad date and she tells me, probably some element there will inspire me, but not that I'm going to take traits of that friend's personality and put it in the story, like I did with Matt. Poor thing. 😂 3. The settings for your stories - I saw your comment on movies and other books by authors. What's one settings or background you would love to use to develop your next characters from? R. The next book I'm going to write is definitely something I've wanted to work on for a long time. The protagonist is extremely smart and I know he will take me out of my comfort zone and he will also do the same with my readers. I want to explore the human mind, I want to explore emotions, but I want to do it from a less romantic, more sensual and challenging place. I'm really excited, because I know the two leads are going to be very detached from emotions and more connected to sexuality. But, of course, the challenge is precisely to make them a couple and that will be the most delicious part. 4. How do you settle your mind when you start thinking of a gazillion things at once for ideas🤔? I have this issue where I start thinking then over think into exhaustion...does that ever happen to you? R: My mind is always coming up with ideas all the time, and it doesn't help that I'm a naturally anxious person. But I write down all the ideas and I think I'll come back to them later. Sometimes I get too obsessed with a scene and I have to write it out of time. I'm not going to use it in the book, because I like to follow it in chronological order, but I need to get it out of my system. I think it helps that I'm well organized and know how to live the creative moment, but without getting lost in what I'm already creating at the moment. 5. Any more advice for novice writers? I have been working on something since November of last year but I keep stopping working on this short story. What's one thing that can help a writer get back on track? R: I think the most liberating thing that happened to me was realizing that I'm not going to love the book I'm writing all the time. There are the ups and downs of a narrative, sometimes you are tired, the character is also tired, and everything is fine. This is going to sound crazy, but I try to talk to my characters mentally to understand why we're not making progress. Is because of fear? Is it because it's hard to talk about that emotion? I try to understand what's going on with them so I can move forward. And I think it's also liberating to understand that writing isn't always fun, there will be times when you have to write without feeling like you want it. It's like the Picasso quote, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." Try to understand why you can't move forward in the story - whether it's because you're tired, you're not happy with the direction of the plot, or because the characters have stopped talking to you. You got this, PQ! 🥰 6. The topic of LOVE is so broad and different for many people. How do you carefully navigate this subject of Love with your audience? *Same question posed to Matthew* R: This question is so special to me because love is limitless and there are so many ways to love someone. I try to show the importance of human relationships in all ways, whether in a family setting, with friends, with an affective/loving relationship. It's interesting because I bring different ways of loving, that overwhelming passion or a love that happens through time. I like to explore this emotion, to show that there is no instruction manual on relationships, but I explore all of this very responsibly - there are many readers of mine living in abusive relationships, I try to get them out of it by showing how a healthy relationship would be. I try to show male behaviors that would be healthy, that would be appropriate, and not absurd fits of jealousy and outbursts of anger and hatred. I can't create a male protagonist who worships abuse, I don't want anyone to experience something that way. So, I take love, I take respect, I take freedom within a relationship and I bring that into the hands of my readers. 🥰

Aline

Matthew I am sitting here listening to interviews and trying to clean transcripts and as you can imagine it can get a tad tedious. Currently the person speaking is ... well I want to go to her school and fix it! Anyway one of my drifting thoughts was on the long form and short forms of writing. The titles make sense to me and I don't know if I have ever heard them before. Its possible I am sure I have forgotten more things than I even know. Anyway I was thinking about the difference and I would find it difficult to write short form because ultimately I am lazy. That almost seems counterintuitive. If I am lazy why would writing more be less work. Perhaps it isn't but to be able to convey the depth and meaning in a short piece requires so much attention and complete intentionality. Less is more. Precision of word choice. It is an impressive way to write. I have over the years have become a bit of a slug. You know taking the easy way out and using way to many words to say what could be said with perhaps one or two precise words. I am envious but I am not sure I have the attention span to even try. I know that one of the problems is that I am over extended and the pressure to complete and start and do is almost crushing. Get it done. Get it done. Perhaps it is time for me to reevaluate things. Hmmm........ ugh back to transcript cleaning. Sigh.

Ann

God, I loved this conversation! 🤗

Aline

Kat, OH! I thank you for the question!!! 🥰 The most special part of it all is that my team of friends are all women and my editor is all women. Seriously, there isn't a man working at Charme! It's great to be able to create stories and know that there are such strong femine power behind me. ❤️ Well, Matthew was the first man who participated in a project with me up close. He was the exception. 🤣 And I'm dying for you to read it! 🤗 I'll run with the English translation. Thank you for being so sweet to me always. 🌹

Aline

Vella, thank you for letting me into your beautiful heart! 🥰🥰🥰 What a special message you left for me here. It was a pleasure to be with you, always will be. I love being able to talk about writing and seeing that there are so many people in the group interested in books, it makes me so excited! Don't get caught up in the descriptions! I often get so lost in the middle of the story that I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't write everything I want at that moment - especially emotional issues. So I just put [insert description here] and move on. Then I come back and I can describe when emotions aren't screaming in my ear. Thank you for saying so many beautiful things about me, but essentially, for being able to read my soul. There is a lot of affection, love and poetry inside me. I'm so happy to have a group that can welcome me that way, understanding that feeling isn't a bad thing. I love you all! Thank you Vella, you have no idea how happy you made me, I wish you could hear my heartbeat. 💜

Aline

💜💜💜💜

Aline

Hey Kath 💜💜💜💜 I can understand you about holding back emotions and then having them come like an avalanche! Oh, love, don't cry! 🥺 Well, I think the characters are your gateway to start talking about emotions more calmly, so you can access them, without you having to live them. You can put your characters in situations like grief, love, loss, immense joy, achievements. You can put them in settings that you are not used to and let them do the talking! I promise you will discover many things about yourself too! If you still don't feel like a very emotional person or that emotions are out of control, how about thinking about those emotions when you're not experiencing them? Read a poem about love, for example. What did this love you read mean to you? You know, I had a lot of trouble accessing emotions for a long time. Writing romance, it was hard to talk about love if I felt discredited by emotion, does that make sense? So I had to force the love out of me and I suddenly understood that my ability to love had nothing to do with the wounds they caused me. I was much bigger than all the pains people caused me and today I am very capable of loving with my heart completely open. Writing is a cure, Kath, because writers tend to have immense emotions, and we pour that out on paper. Use your writing to accept your emotions, those of your characters and also the things you have no control over. Use writing to fly. I'm sure your dynamic will be different and you won't be so afraid. Think carefully about the pseudonym. It would be perfect. 💜

Aline

Aline I can see that. So much emotional energy goes into the whole process not just the writing. And the mourning at the end I am sure can be brutal. As an avid reader I know that I have read a good book when I am finished and I am mourning the loss of my new character loves. I fall in love so many times during the year and it really is wonderful but as a reader it can also be sad because when the book is complete then that's it. Perhaps that is why so many writers like to write series with characters that are part of a social group or family. For the author they can keep close their beloved characters and expand upon their world. For the reader those character they fell in love with are still there and it is almost an easing away as I the reader falls in love with the new characters. Then when the series is over ugh! I appreciate you Aline. You are an artist.

Ann

The image of this date is just as beautiful as you! 💜

Aline

Thank you, Dawn!!! 🥰💜 Kath, oh babeeee! You're sooooo sweet!!!! 🥰💜

Aline

Ann, I wanted to answer you now about the structural part of the book. Basically, I break it down into moments. 1. Ideas. 2. Research. 3. Structuring the Script. 4. Writing. 5. Review the manuscript 1/2/3 times. 6. Sending the manuscript to Editora Charme. 💜 I can compare these moments to a love relationship, so you can understand what it's like emotionally for me. 1 and 2 would be like going on dates with someone. I'm blown away by the idea, so I want to know everything about the book. I love the moments where I imagine the scenes, how they're going to fit together, I love that initial excitement, and I think all writers have that moment of love at first sight with their stories. 3. Writing the book's script is like getting to know my characters a lot more deeply, I still flirt with the idea and the story, but I end up knowing a lot more about who I fell in love with, does it make sense? 4. Writing, I get lost in the world, I let me be in love with everything that I have. It's no longer being in love, it's LOVE really. I can feel the story, I can feel the romantic moments. Writing affects me substantially as a relationship affects my life; what I mean is that I am part of this world, just as the characters are part of mine. 5. When I'm done, I usually take a break for a few weeks so I can reread. I need to emotionally get away from the story, and here I would compare it to - the real life. When love and passion exist, but relationship problems begin. Reviewing the book is realizing that parts of the enchantment I had, well, weren't all that 'fascinating'. As in affective relationships, we need to make adjustments so that we can get together. That's what the review is for me. 6. Finally, sending the book is mission accomplished, but I live a time of mourning because for a long time the characters were mine alone. Now, they will touch other people's hearts. 🥰

Bunny Thought The curse of being great at your job is the other YOUS get really envious. Lover you, sister you, daughter you, writer you, friend you, self caretaker you, all just look at such resentment. Teacher me is the golden child and all the other parts of me are the moody sullen middle child. “You love her more then us” they accuse while they hide in their “My Chemical Romance” hoodie and pout about the injustice of it all. It’s hard to be a single mom. 🖤🐇

What a great Q&A session! Such awesome and original questions from everyone and really insightful and honest answers from Aline. It was fun to get a look behind the scenes of writing a book, so thank you Aline for taking the time and to everyone who participated!

I just read in the comments that you Aline were the one who put all of these elements together in one place, you naughty little sadist. 😈😂

I recognized several elements from different meta audios, and I wanted to say you should've shown some mercy to those poor Brazilian readers and dose them your audios little by little, but then I'd be a hypocrite because the masochist inside me squealed in pleasure when I read we're getting both a POV video AND a meta audio next week. 😩

Thank you everyone ☺️🥰🥰🥰🥰! It's been a very memorable year for me here! (I can't ignore how cheesy this rhymes lol)

Evening/Afternoon and Morning to all in The Tower🤗! Very late to the celebration (work and home life clashed today) but this was a fantastic collaboration Aline and Matt! I loved the combination of 2 great writers coming together to create art in written form! For Aline👱🏼‍♀️: I cannot get enough of your character creation process that I read in the earlier comments! Also I love your song references at the beginning of each chapter in Namorado Por Acaso! Alot of the questions I wanted to ask were said. I do have a few follow-up questions. 1. How long do you research your themes or character creations? 2. Besides Matthew, have you ever been inspired by other people around (example you glimpse someone in your daily life and think they would be an excellent candidate for your next story) 3. The settings for your stories - I saw your comment on movies and other books by authors. What's one settings or background you would love to use to develop your next characters from? 4. How do you settle your mind when you start thinking of a gazillion things at once for ideas🤔? I have this issue where I start thinking then over think into exhaustion...does that ever happen to you? 5. Any more advice for novice writers? I have been working on something since November of last year but I keep stopping working on this short story. What's one thing that can help a writer get back on track? 6. The topic of LOVE is so broad and different for many people. How do you carefully navigate this subject of Love with your audience? *Same question posed to Matthew* For Matt🧔🏻: 1. What was your experience like working with Aline in the development of the story? 2. What's your advice to novice writers? 3. What does Professor Harris tell his students when they are writing for an assignment to develop their writing skills? 4. Any hints on how sexy Amante Por Acaso will get? Is it hotter than Namorado Por Acaso? To the Audio: HOT AF🥵🔥! Hearing Matt say Dreamgirl had me hearing Queen B singing " We're your dreams girls oh...we'll make you happy...." playing in my head...but thinking about a deep baritone voice trying to throttle men into submission was....🐈‍⬛ clenching🥵! "TURN OFF YOUR RATIONAL THOUGHT BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO FEEL" was the hottest line ever spoken by a man in 2022 for me🤯! Mental stimulation and relaxation rolled into one beautiful short sentence 💀🥵! Loved it! The Tower is such an amazing space of ideas, dreams, fantasy and friendship. I am truly humbled to know everyone in this space🥰! I can't wait for the book drop on this project! Much ❤💜 and success to you both forever 🥰!

Absolutely Katie - and I really think that ‘intelligence’ isn’t something you’re born with. We all have it. It’s just about learning to be conscious of the associations our brains make, and to be able to articulate them. One thing I love about listening to the responses on the page is that often someone will say something that I know I felt in the back of my mind about the audio, but I never would have brought it to the forefront of my thoughts without you articulating it. Someone will bring a different kind of intelligence, and I grow from it. 😌

Aline, frankly, thank you for taking the time to answer me and for sharing your experiences with candor. You have no idea what it does to me. The fact that you mention descriptions in question number 2 is like a wink of life to me because descriptions kill me! 😓You know, I just heard about you for the first time last week. I didn't even do my research on you, on your work. I read your first comment about your new book and boom, it was done. I knew I was going to love you. Since then, you have only confirmed that I was right. There is something about you, Aline, that makes you irresistible in my opinion. You are true, humble and generous. The beauty and sexiness part, we'll do without; that goes without saying. I'm not saying this to flatter you, I'm saying it because I sincerely think so and you deserve to be told so.

“It only takes a split second for our mind to create these associations, and often we’re not fully aware of them consciously. But meaning unpacks itself in our minds whether we’re thinking about it or not.” This. This is such a strange moment for me to draw this connection. This is what I loved studying interpersonal communication. This observation you have made relates to so many things right? It is the foundation of our beliefs, actions and which leads to the culmination of norms and culture which then circles back around to how we make association and assign meaning. It is in those moments that influence is created, change stems, persuasion is most powerful…. My brain hasn’t thought like this in so long, it’s spinning. But I love it. I love the whole thing. All of it. Everything going on today. 🤯

Katie

Watch it Mister! 🧐 I'll share with the Belles but I'm not THAT generous. (Also, some of these friends might be cool with it but most of them are 3000% not ready for your 🌶🌶🌶.)

I feel like we're ignoring Matt a little. Girl talk and everything. Hello you sexy beast. How's that tongue of yours? Exercising it properly? Do you need a workout buddy? 😏😈

Dawn

Here c’mere then and let me cuddle you and let it evolve into more🥰😏 thank you! From my notepad He said he loved The feeling Of the sun on his skin So I became it. Just a little something😊

OH MY GOD CUTE BABY AMINALS 💜💜💜💜

Katie

I recommend it. It’s like a post O pussy hug!

Katie

Indy: Filth Merchant, yes, but also Dad Jokes After Dark!!

Patti

And yes, happy, happy birthday tomorrow!! 🎂💜💜😘

Patti

"a wet release of joy" is my new favorite way to describe an orgasm!

Patti

The flapping. 😂

Aline

Yay! 🥰 Thanks for reading my little ramble, Patti! ⏳ It was 100% for you, and don't let anyone tell you different!!! 🤓 Love, Dr. Tower.

Matthew Tower

Sounds like someone needs a wringing out 🫶👌🫦

Katie

You know what’s really funny is that I already have a shower chair. My fiancé is disabled and uses a wheelchair, so it’s a need in my household. And yes, I use it for shaving my legs and a good shower cry. 😅

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

I'm the lucky one! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Aline

…. …. That made my brain hurt …. And my mouth water 😂😂😂

Katie

I can’t think of what I want to say. I’m out of words. I just can’t believe I get the privilege to know you in this lifetime. 💜💜💜

Katie

Obrigado por se juntar a nós neste mundo mágico, Anamaria!! ✨🫂✨

Matthew Tower

A single sperm has 37.5 MB of DNA in it, meaning a normal ejaculation is a data transfer of around 1587 GB in 3 seconds. That's a lot of information to swallow. 😏

Dawn

😭 I'm now soppy and turned on at the same time. I hope you post more of your poetry too K - the world and us need it. 😌

Matthew Tower

Thank you, DeltaDawn! I'm glad you liked this and worked for you!! 💜💜💜

Aline

I enjoy reading all these comments almost as much as the audios. I hope all of you have a great weekend. 😘

DeltaDawn

It's so sexy when he does teacher stuff, isn't it? 💜

Aline

Wow! I loved Matt's question and Aline...fantastic answer 🤗🥰!

Pisces Queen

Aline yes because words of affirmation are my love language🥰 and I just like hearing it🤣 I love you toooo!

Venusinaphrodite_

As soon as you started talking with this one I was just impossibly turned on and found myself achieving levels of pleasure that I did not think possible for me. Aline and Matt collaboration is a definite 👍 from me. Also thank you to all the other Belles out there that provide such a supporting environment and a safe place to share things that I was taught “one does not talk about.”

DeltaDawn

I want my readers to be free to fantasize, I want them to believe in love, I want them to know that love is taking a risk, but wanting to live it anyway. I want them to feel that it is possible to love and be loved, even with life being so difficult and challenging. I want them to have hope and for all this affection that I created within the story to touch their lives. I really want this book to mark their lives as it did mine. 💜

Aline

Ann’s box of secrets! Tell me MORE! ❤️💜🥰

Katie

Katja - I just wanted to say I've been enjoying your flowers... 🌹🌸🌺🌷 😉

Matthew Tower

My headboard is bolstered fabric 😭😭😭😭

Katie

Dear Matthew, I know that your analysis of Aline's hourglass metaphor was inspired by her innovative use of language, but I'm going to willfully ignore that and pretend that it was because you know how much I like it when you do English professor things. 🧔🏻📖💜

Patti

Oh I thought of a question — If there was one overall theme or message that readers could take away from this novel, what would you hope it would be (or what did you intend it to be)?

Katie

Quem é o Christian Grey perto do Matthew Tower? 😂 Anamaria, obrigada por viver isso com a gente. Sabia que vocês iam adorar esse mundo. Foi especial demais trazê-lo até vocês. Te amo! 💜

Aline

Can I say that I love you again? 💜😌

Aline

Dawn, I already left a date because I wanted to write (more then 1 time, actually) 😂 I will never judge you. Please note everything, our brain is treacherous with new ideas. 🥰

Aline

Hey Vella! 💜 Thank you for your beautiful questions! 1. When I'm in the writing process, I usually leave everything ready in my other job (I'm a designer too) so I can dive in. I like to get up early, have breakfast and go to the computer. It's important for me to start writing early, or it gives me a feeling that I won't be able to hit my goals. When inspiration is very strong, even after I stop writing, sometimes characters come to whisper to me at dawn and I go after creating what they ask of me. 😂 This writing moment is special. It's my favorite part! 💜 2. I wish I had known that descriptions aren't as important as emotions. I used to worry about describing the places as if it would give an even better image to the reader, but the truth is, romance books, all you have to do is let the reader feel. I wish I had focused on the emotions part. 😅 3. There's a lot of insecurity, Vella. 🥺 Even though I've published more than 30 books, I still feel insecure about many things. For example, readers want innovation, they want something different, and sometimes I wonder... what else can I create about love? But love is such an unlimited feeling, the human being is so unique, that this feeling calms me, that I can navigate different waters and create something I never thought of creating before. 🥰 4. I get a lot of tips from my editor and reviewers, I take it all with great care, because I know it's for my evolution. But there's a review that marked me a lot and I won't forget. I was writing a supernatural novel with an author, and then my editor read it and said, "Okay, did you guys kill everyone? Who's going to be left to tell the story?" In my view and Clara's, the book was perfect, but it wasn't. And when the publisher pointed out what needed to change, it was like our eyes opened and then we were finally able to write a worthy story. 🥰

Aline

I'm so touched I teared up! I loove your team of friends and I don't even know them😭❤️❤️❤️ pleaseee hurry up eng trans😩 I completely understand your worry about explaining these behind the scenes things. But it's also so important and meaningful to have a good support system and I'm so very much happy for you that you've got that 😘🤗 Thank you for answering!! And to more good men out there 🤣🥰

Katja

😌

Dawn

Aline do céu, o que foi isso? Morri, a alma saiu do corpo. Talvez eu consiga voltar um dia. Amiga que livro quente vai ser esse? Tô preparada? Não. Mas quero mesmo assim. A voz do Matt é coisa de doido, esse homem consegue despertar sensações inimagináveis 🔥🔥 Que voz maravilhosa, ela remete a um homem forte, poderoso, dono de si e da porra toda. 50 tons e 365 são fichinhas perto do Amante. Parabéns Ali é, não canso de dizer o tanto que a sua escrita é maravilhosa e agora vc achou um homem real pra trazer para seus livros, obrigada por nos apresentar esse mundo mágico Loviuuuu

Anamaria

Mmmmmhmmmmmm 👏👏👏

LINDA YOUR BUMP!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Heck, I love it

Meg_just_Meg

They’re so fucking cute but I’ll definitely need a soak in the tub before I’ll feel sexy enough to listen to this. 😘

Emily Dawn

Save the Sundae! I'll pour it on you later! 👅 xx

Matthew Tower

I’m right there with you, Ann. I equally appreciate of both Roberta Flack’s original and the Fugees’ cover. The cover respects the source material without being derivative to create something both familiar and new to embrace.

Venusinaphrodite_

Ughhh introspective soup! 🥹🥹🥹💜💜💜💜

Katie

Is it normal to have ideas wake you up in the middle of the night and you have to write them down before you forget them or is that just me? 🤪

Dawn

Pet the kitty! 🥰

Katie

Katja, this is so exciting for me! I wanted to give my readers a reason to believe that there are good men in the world, and Matthew is the biggest proof of that. I had never been inspired by someone who is real, I wanted readers to have that experience. "Oh, men are only good in books." When they tell me that, now I can say. "Explain Matthew Tower to me then!" 🤣 It's so nice to finally be able to share a part of this project with you! 💜 As Matt was my first real inspiration and the rest was all my imagination, I can say that I try to make the characters as real as I can. I have a team of friends, both are psychologists, Bruna and Patrícia, and they help me with the personality of the characters. I keep thinking about them and sometimes it's interesting, it's like they don't tell me everything when I imagine them, so they take shape over time. It's special to be able to create a human being, but I need it to be believable to the readers and the audience, so I'm always concerned with bringing them this psychological explanation of their psyche behind the scenes, in the detail, in the nuances. 😘😘😘😘

Aline

Kelly, I'm going to divulge a closely guarded secret to you. I purchased a shower chair (yes, the kind you get at the durable medical equipment store for old/infirm people) specifically for increased comfort during shower-crying. It was like $50. Does it seem a little ridiculous, psychotic and self-indulgent? Yes. Have I ever regretted it? Not for a f#cking second. You do what you gotta do to get yourself better!

Kathryn

Been there girl! Sending you lots of snuggles!!! Luckily there are a lot of great audios to substitute with until you need some flavaaaa ! 😘😍

Katie

🙏🏻🧔🏻 Will check it out. xx

Matthew Tower

Aline, I haven't read all the comments so I'm sorry in advance if I make you repeat yourself again. 1- I'd love to get an idea of your work routine for writing. 2- Now that you are an accomplished writer, if you go back to the writing of your first book, what would you have liked to have known that would have helped you or made the task easier? 3- If you feel comfortable answering, are there certain insecurities that keep coming back to you every time you write a book that you have to mentally talk yourself out of and if so, how do you manage to deal with them? 4- What was the most instructive criticism you received? Thank you 💜💜☺️

San

😘😘😘😘😘

Katie

We are floating in the clouds tethered to a million butterflies somewhere between Brasil and New Zealand, giggling like teens. If you listen closely you can hear the flapping. 😁

Matthew Tower

I suck at poetry, Patti! 😂 I understand your feeling! Wow, I love so many authors. Jane Austen, Anaïs Nin, Fernando Pessoa, Lygia Fagundes Telles, Clarisse Lispector, Caio Fernando de Abreu, Colleen Hoover, Vi Keeland, Mia Sheridan, Penelope Ward, Julia Quinn... wow, I've read so many books, I have so many authors that I will keep forever in my heart. I also love Brazilian poets Zack Magieze and Aka Poeta. 💜

Aline

I love this 💜

Katie

Merci! It's all part of my embracing floral masculinity... whatever that means exactly... 😂 xx

Matthew Tower

Aline... I think you might be my new role model/ superhero/ obsession/ queen... 💜

Kathryn

Hell yes. 🥵 You’d better send them to me 👙📮 so I can practice my tying... 🤣😂

Matthew Tower

The puns are strong with this guy tonight... 😆

Kathryn

It's the first time I tried that Ajax!! 😂 It's kinda like bubblegum or something. A nice change from lemon. 🤣 And yes - the chair has real cowhide... 😬🙇🏻‍♂️😪🙏🏻

Matthew Tower

Lineeee! I lit did one of those screams when the book gets to a really good part and you just toss and turn and don't know what to do with yourself 🤣🤭 this is amaaaazing! I don't even have to say how much this gives "man written by a woman" in the best way, obviously. But it's also Matt who's a real person and it's so mind blowing just thinking of all the layers this concept has. I wanted to ask you about how you come up with each of character's identities and backgrounds. 💖Also, to tell you how incredibly hard working you are, I can only imagine how much time, effort, energy, etc you have to put in so it can all come together like this. You and Matt did so so so good together! Matt, I wish I could say sth about your narration but I can't bc my brain is poof since you're too sexy, thanks lol😘☺️

Katja

Exactly, G!! 😁 But I guess I could've been asking you to horsey ride it, haha. Hope you've had a good week! 😘

Matthew Tower

Happy birthday Katie 😘

Dawn

To my fellow Katie... 💜🎂🥳 https://youtu.be/d6RCq1h3gZs

Kathryn

KJSDIJHADJB!!!! That first one. The sleepy contented eyes. 🥹

Matthew Tower

Hey, Aline! Congrats again on this -- I can't wait to read it. I'm curious, who are the authors that inspire you? My strength has never been in narrative writing, so I'm always envious of authors who command imagery and who can make their prose feel like poetry. I read a sentence today describing two lovers lying next to each other as "two commas with no words, at last, to keep them apart" and thought, "I love that, but I could never come up with that."

Patti

Aline, thank you for that....💜 (🥺😭 I'm totally not crying, there's something in my eye... and I have allergies... and I stubbed my toe... all at the same time. ) The sad thing is what she read wasn't even about my mom. It was about me feeling emotionally stunted because I have trouble accessing my emotions in the moment. I just freeze and then later once the pressure is off, I start to process and the feelings start trickling in. She basically read the assignment went, "Oh, so you don't feel anything for your family or friends. You don't love or care for anyone," at which point I (can you guess?) completely froze up. 😆 I've thought about the pseudonym thing before. 🤔 Maybe it's time to think about it some more.

Kathryn

Matt, you reminded me how I felt really sexy in that apron. That’s how I’m gonna feel good today! Screw clothes, just the apron! 😁 And panties so I don’t get dog hair up in my business. 😅

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

Haha - I hope you extra enjoy your drinks, Aleigh!! I'll be waiting at home in bed to help you with a perfect end to the night. Just don't stay out too late or I'll start sending you sexts... 😛

Matthew Tower

I was imagining this (which is in L.A. lol) but I’m not opposed to bean bags🤣https://ibb.co/SPXtxmG

Venusinaphrodite_

I love when the characters are so real that you're confused whether you're reading a book or reading a friend's story. The feeling that they can get off the page and touch your world. I love it too!💜

Aline

Imagine me driving to you with a car full of puppies like on bridesmaids🥳 but also “tightness and wet release”🔥🥵🥵🥵🥵

Venusinaphrodite_

💜💜💜💜 I'm glad you will enjoy this even more later!!

Aline

I'm an extremely organized author and that's not a good thing 😂 because I get exhausted. I set a daily word goal and sometimes do writing marathons. I constantly forget about myself, I go into the world of characters and sometimes someone in my family touches my shoulder and says 'Did you remember to have lunch?' And when I see it, it's 9 o'clock at night. I literally step out of my body to let the characters in, and I need to remind myself to come back to myself. 😂 Interesting you say about closing eyes, my romantic and sensual scenes I usually type with my eyes closed, because I'm not distracted by the words I typed wrong, I just live the scene in my head as if it were a movie. My mom says that when I do this, it feels like my fingers are dancing on the computer keyboard. 😂 I'm also fantasizing about scenes and imagining how they fit into the plot, sometimes the process of imagining can take longer than actually writing. 💜💜💜

Aline

Thanks Aline. ❤️ Maybe I’ll indulge in a stiff drink later. Damnit Kathryn, you’re gonna make me cry again! 🥲 You’re so sweet. Thanks. Just had a shower and a cry and I’m just trying to get my day on track.

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

That bookstore has beanbags, I know it.

Matthew Tower

Sorry to hear that you're stressed Kelly! 💜 I gotta say, I don't mind at all hearing that you need to do some cleaning though. For some wonderful reason I can picture it VERY clearly.... 🧔🏻💭 🥵😛🙏😉😘

Matthew Tower

The snuggle😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹🥹

Venusinaphrodite_

You're amazing hon! 😘😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗

Dawn

Godspeed the English translation huh... 🤞🏻

Matthew Tower

HAPPY BDAY BABEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Aline

I'm so happy with your response to the audio, Katie. Because I had Matt's audio in my head, but I didn't know if I could make it into a long-form narrative. But seeing through the audio, YOU FELT, so I feel confident with the book. Oh I love you. 💜💜💜

Aline

Kelly... I gave one of these to Lisa and Kate. Looks like you need one too.😚 https://giphy.com/gifs/love-disney-girl-EvYHHSntaIl5m

Kathryn

OMG Matt 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dawn

😂😂😂😂😂 I'll let you imagine it, because it's so adorable! 💜

Aline

Did you say "birthday eve"?! Happy birthday, Katie!! And yes, the next round of merchandise must include Filth Merchant items.

IndyJane

Oh boy, I just listened to the audio. I was super confident when I wrote my first message telling you that tonight was going to be your night like I'm taking care of it. I listen to the audio just to realize that you're the one who's throwing me a party. 😳Then my sundae has already melted while listening to you. I don't know why I'm surprised every time I'm thrown off by you. I should know you a little by now, right? 😏 Fuck, I like it ! Honestly, I'm so turned-on right now, I don't even think I could wait until after dinner! 😅 Aline!! Thank you for being a part of this moment I'm going to have with my man Matthew tonight! Big hugs to you.😘💜💜 I have a few questions for you. I will send them to you shortly.

San

😫 🥶 🐳 = 🐟 😂

Matthew Tower

No! I've always written, but I never imagined it would be a profession. I graduated from the Faculty of Management. And I ended up giving up writing. Then, when I faced depression, I knew that I would only get out of it if I wrote... and here we are now. I came out of depression and officially became a writer. 😭

Aline

Car cumming... we are progressing as a species. 💜🚙💦 I also enjoyed that endeavor yesterday

Dawn

Aline- how would you describe your process? Do you try to write a minimum number of words per day? I heard a nonfiction writer say a lot of her work gets done in bed with her eyes closed. As in, a lot of time is spent thinking things out before writing anything down. How do you approach the Work of writing?

IndyJane

💗 Well, I'm very lucky in that regard, because my family is basically made up of women - my mom and sister and they're very supportive. When I decided to write Amante Por Acaso, I remember talking to my mother and sister. "I met a writer on the internet who creates erotic audios and I want to write about him" I remember their curiosity about Matthew and how they wanted to hear his work. I knew they didn't understand English, so some audios I was telling them how the story was and the structure of the script and plot. They loved hearing about Matt's audios and how they inspired me to write. I have a lot of support! My publisher is also a great partner in this regard. 😍 But ah, curious fact. I don't have a very close relationship with my dad, but he was at one of my events. My first book out was about an erotic cruise, and I had to speak this publicly (with a microphone) to an auditorium of 200 people and he was there. 😂 I think it was the first time I felt shy about sharing my book with the public... My little advice to you about writing: If you don't feel comfortable showing it due to the reaction of your mother or those close to you, there is always the possibility of writing under a pseudonym! There are many Brazilian authors with a pseudonym and I believe that internationally as well. Don't be afraid to share your writing. The world needs art and love. 💜💜💜💜

Aline

Did you always want to write? Did life get in the way?

Dawn

Oh. My. Gaaaaaahhhhhh😵 I started listening and was like… Idk joyfully annoyed at how you just seem to excel at anything. It was SO you but so a character of you at the same time. Idk things don’t make sense, but everything makes sense. Understand? 😵‍💫🫠🤭🤯 So then you said the brave line… (do that more) and I was starting to swoon and then you said hide and seek, and things started melting and THEN you said let me enter your body like I’ve already entered your mind. 🥵🥵🥵 And now my favorite extreme sport is cumming while driving, because it’s like my body is acting independently from my brain and it’s just responding to you and I can’t even help it, it’s just a tightness and a wet release of joy. I have to wait to really get at this one cause I kinda tweaked my hip which seems appropriate for my birthday eve to have some new ailment. But I loved this so so so much! And I’m so grateful for Aline for making this happen. 💜 Dr. Filth Merchant (I want to brand this SO HARD.) 🤭🤭🤭

😂 Haha - it was a little more complicated and organic than just reading words, but it's definitely a tribute to some great passages in the book. Oh, I wish there would be another someday, but wah 😭- Aline has to get onto her new work already! 😫

Aline

Aline one more... How do you deal with crises of confidence? How do you deal with your family/friends reading your work? My mother stumbled upon a couple of things I wrote for a nonfiction workshop in college and had an... unfavorable reaction🤬. I've had crippling anxiety about letting pretty much anyone read anything I write ever since then😳🥺😭. Fiction, non-fiction, essays, op-eds, poems... all of it. I can write a good intra-departmental email at work but that's my limit. 😆

Kathryn

Anch'io ti amo. E tuo marito!! 😁 💜

Matthew Tower

I love you all! I promise you'll just fall in love with Matthew a little more... just a little more. 🤗

Aline

Matthew, that was so cool to read. I am going to down save this and read it again. While there was so much there for me to think about what came to mind was really about creating an impact with less. So many ways to apply this idea in life not just in writing. Feel free to provide analysis whenever you want. Thank you. Whenever I read hourglass my mind goes directly to comparison which takes me out of the story and into my head and into my insecurities. Maybe that is why I am not good at immersing myself. 🤷‍♂️ I am a works in progress. I have moved from total body self shaming to more along the lines of partial acceptance and neutrality. It's only been a bit over a year and I have many many years of negative conditioning. What an adventure.

Ann

Awww. I remember not believing it. I cried so much I couldn't even look at the cover. 😂 But, you know, Dawn, I was really scared. It was a high risk. If the first novel didn't work out, I wouldn't have the second book published. But then my editor called me to a cafe in Rio de Janeiro, and I was shaking a lot, thinking it would be a negative reunion. Then, one of the owners of Editora Charme looked at me and said, 'Aline, your book sold well. We will publish the entire Traveling with Rockstars series.' I don't remember how I reacted, I just remember pulling her into a hug and crying like my life's dream was coming true, because it was. And the interesting thing is that... with each book, the emotion is the same. Never get old! 🤗

Aline

I have a few words I want to say to your whole body right now. I'll start at your ankles and work my way down... 😏 (Yes, your ankles are behind your ears. 😝)

Matthew Tower

So I have a question. I think the audio was from 'Superorgasm'...why did you say "put my shirt between your legs"? Were you trying to make it like a paper towel?

Eternidad

🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Aline

How was I not going to put this man inside a romance novel, right? The world deserves Matthew Tower. 😂 Thanks for listening, Linda. I'm glad you liked it! 😘🤗

Aline

Titania, you beautiful! 💜 I can't wait for you to meet Secret! I think my favorite scenes are the romantic ones, especially when the characters aren't expecting there to be romance and love just comes out of their mouths or through some action. I also like to write the flirtations, the little moments of seduction. I also looooove when the couple is already together and they start to understand each other. Oh, I love romance. I couldn't get out of that genre even if I tried. 🥰 You transform my life in a rainbow in the sky, cutie! 💙💚💛

Aline

Aleigh... don't feel bad. I'm 40 but my trust self is 17 years old, max. It's like when you get a new haircut and then walk past a mirror and go "WTF, is that me?!?" but like with your whole damn life. 😆

Kathryn

Our special night? 🥰 See how you Vella date me. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 And damn - all fresh from the spa?? 🧔‍♂️💭🧖‍♀️ I'm there...

Matthew Tower

Aline thank you for sharing your process, procedures, and even pain. I really enjoy hearing about your projects and I am thankful to know you 🤗

I’ll be back to listen later! I’m currently snuggling baby piglets. 🐷 https://ibb.co/LC38ysM https://ibb.co/Z6075Zd

Emily Dawn

Right?!?

Titania

and miss aline: you are exceptional. congrats on this novel once again! based on this little tease, i just know it’s going to be incredible. i can’t wait to support 💗

aleigh -`♡´-

god, i barely even know what to say. i made a grave mistake deciding to listen to this before i grab drinks with a friend. this was steamy, filthy — basically any word that associates with heat🔥. this engaged every part of me. my skins on fire even just trying to put it into words. i can best explain it by saying that the way you feel about the “show me yours” audio is how i feel about this. it’s the type of thing where any coherent comment i thought i’d have after listening went completely down the drain. just listening to your breathy, sensual, low-register is such a head rush, let alone trying to keep up with what you’re saying! it’s hot, fleshly, carnal, exhilarating, all-consuming. now all i can pay attention to is this ache that needs immediate tending to, preferably by my fave kiwi 😩😘

aleigh -`♡´-

💜 Titania, you make my life more fun, more thoughtful, and don't even start me on the sexy... 😜😘xx

Matthew Tower

👀👀👀 Can it be next week already? 😂

Niamh

Now for both of you, can I buy you dinner? Make you breakfast in the morning? You two are a dangerous cocktail I’m getting drunk off of😍

Venusinaphrodite_

I’ll have to listen a little later. Dealing with a lot of stress and I’m hoping getting some cleaning done will help me feel accomplished or at least useful. 😬 But Matt, I know your voice always sounds like warm butter, so I have no doubts this is gonna be hot. Congratulations Aline! A book is a huge accomplishment! ❤️❤️❤️

Kelly (Your Friendly Neighborhood Pansexual)

Ok, I listened to this and my mind is just screaming. The forces of Matt and Aline together are too powerful. This book is going to ruin my life and I can't wait.

IndyJane

😂🤣 Niamh - it's funny you talk about how the whole community is a prt of this because next week I'll be posting some of the interviews Aline did for the novel waaay back and... well... you'll have to read it... 🧣💜

Matthew Tower

Niahm, it was really hard to share Matt with the world, but I'm glad I was able to open that door. 💜💜💜 I mean... I wanted him to have more followers and for his work to be recognized, because it's a work of art and we know it. But it has to fly beyond our eyes. I'm so glad you liked my writing with his writing somehow and the narration. The romantic part is me being a little girl. Ignore me. 😅xxxxx

Aline

Aline, what was your reaction when your first book was published?

Dawn

That was so hot I had to strip down and get in an ice bath 🥵🛁

Dawn

Ann - it's cool to hear you've written long form work because I've never managed it. I'm interested in the project management side too, because I don't really have any structure to the way I make stuff. I'm sure with all of the projects you juggle you'd have some good time management habits in place? p.s. I know you're interested in language, so in case you haven't seen, today's tiny poem for Belles is inspired by a passage from another of Aline's novels and I’ve written a mini-analysis note on the poem and its metaphor here if you're interested??? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-DplWg8ARN9OLvdzKh_4OL7dC3dW-WnXIenJnGc5rVI/edit

Ann, I know what it's like to have that writer's mind and not be able to read without you noticing the flaws or even without you not paying attention to the structure of the story. It's like... my God, here's a plot twist. Then it happens. And then you miss the fun part. Well, about the whole process - Matthew and I got crazy, maybe? Well, first was the interview, I asked him a lot of questions, I think more than 50 about his work as a dirty talker and about his point of view on other subjects, so I could create Secret, which Matt was kind enough to answer. 💜 So, when I wrote the script, I was talking to Matt about the story and what I had imagined about the characters (I have no idea how he hasn't blocked me yet 😂). With that, I also got to know more about Matt's world on Patreon. It was 8 months from the moment I interviewed him to get the book done, and when I was ready to talk about marketing, Matt was there for me too (as you can see through the whole collaboration 💜). But both of us having such a busy life, I don't know how we managed it, but I'm grateful we did. My wish was for my readers to know his work, I really wanted them to have access to this fantastic world. At the same time, I also wanted a novel different from anything in Brazil. Matthew... he's the key to everything. I wouldn't have made it without him. It's very exciting for me to have someone who embraces my projects as he did, as you all have done here. It's not every day that we find people to dream with us! But I'm glad I found you! 💜

Smart, handsome, AND funny? 💜💜💜

Maybe it offers us a sense of security also. We put ourselves out there through our characters and then we see their experiences from a safe vantage point. Or express things we might not be able to as ourselves so easily and then we see how others respond to that emotion or thought. We learn to put our feet in the water because we realize there’s positive outcomes. That love and relationships can work. Not because we’re in charge of the outcome as the author but because the outcome is a real possibility. I also really like when characters are so genuine in that way. That they have fears and worries. That not everything is easy or simple to get from point a to point b. That they have to communicate and struggle and self-examine and reflect.

Aleigh I am in Seattle at my aunt's house this weekend. So my attention is split. I will have to wait to listen to this.

Ann

Matthew I have to tell you what I want?????😳😅 *blushes profusely* and the breathiness in your voice🥵 makes me imagine all the places I could feel the heat from your mouth on me. Or at my ear while you’re….

Venusinaphrodite_

Wow, what a beautiful question, love! 💜💜💜 I realized many things through the eyes of my readers. A reader told me that all my characters don't want to fall in love and I stopped to think that I was too scared to give myself up emotionally again. So the characters kind of end up reflecting some of our fears and traumas, maybe things we don't say out loud. I've also noticed, through my previous books, that my female protagonists were more shy, and now they embrace work, love and whatever they can with great courage - that's part of my self-discovery process, too. If I could give Aline one piece of advice, it would be: 'Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to write what you want, as long as it has a good purpose for everyone who will read it and live the experience.' You know, people who read want to live a love like the ones in the books, but there's a certain responsibility in writing a story. So, I would tell Aline not to be afraid to write about difficult and original topics, as long as I believed that it could be wonderful for whoever was on the other side dreaming of me.

Aline

That song kills me every time I hear it. Love it.

Ann

What a great comment Niamh. Thank you! 🤗

Ann

Hi Matthew, how are you? I'm glad to be here tonight. I can't wait to watch the video. Oh, and before I forget, I wanted to let you know that tonight is our intimate evening, if you know what I mean. After a day at the spa, I think this is the cherry on the Sunday. I look forward to it. See you soon! 😘

San

Oh myyyyyyy. You've flayed me open and drizzled EVERY nerve with your honeyed voice, Matt. I could feel your breath and the tingles everywhere. Add in the emotional component of being wrapped up in you in Sexyworld, and I'm a goner. Without a doubt, my new favorite. A++++++++ Aline, I can't wait to see how this book is and how our Secret Man comes to life in it. 😍 What are your favorite types of scenes to write? Much love to you both! You, and everyone here make my life a little more fun. 🥰 💙💚💛

You giving me some Flack? 😌 😘xx

Matthew Tower

As long as you want me I’ll be yours! Dream girl!!!! So glad I don’t live in a country where we have to pay for healthcare because I’d have to charge both Matt and Aline for blowing my back out like that 😅 One of the things I love most about this space is how real it feels, how genuine these interactions are. This isn’t just porn, it’s healing, it’s a community and as nice as it would be to keep Matt all to myself I suppose sharing him with you lovely lot is the next best thing 💜💜

Niamh

Hey Kat!!! 💜 I think the whole story never forms itself in my head, I collect moments. As I write romance, I try to think of the main scenes as the first kiss, the first sex scene, when is the first I love you going to happen. Ideas come and go, sometimes they run over each other, and I select only the best ones. Sometimes this can even happen while writing. I've adopted a process of not being sorry to delete entire chapters if I feel the story needs a different direction. My last project, a sequel to the one Matthew is promoting with me, I deleted 16 chapters and rewrote them. I think it all comes down to me feeling satisfied with the characters and the story. When I can feel it, I know the script and the book are ok.

Aline

I wrote two romance books in my life. I had editors request them too but imposter syndrome took over and I never sent them in. I haven't written in years because when I was writing it was hard to get my mind out of that world I had my children to take care of and I was in another world all the time. Also it affected how I read fiction. I started to notice things and sometimes it ruined the story for me. I am interested in reading the answers to all the questions because writing a book is a big job and to do it as well as Aline has with at least the book I have read is impressive. I am interested in the project management portion. The organization of it all. Not just the writing but all of it. I wonder about that with Matthew and all his audios and everything else. I wonder about this for Aline as well. Eu escrevi dois livros de romance na minha vida. Eu tinha editores solicitando eles também, mas a síndrome do impostor assumiu e eu nunca os enviei . Eu não escrevo há anos porque quando eu estava escrevendo era difícil tirar minha mente daquele mundo que eu tinha meus filhos para cuidar e eu estava em outro mundo o tempo todo. Também afetou como eu leio ficção. Comecei a notar coisas e às vezes isso arruinou a história para mim. Estou interessado em ler as respostas para todas as perguntas porque escrever um livro é um grande trabalho e fazê-lo tão bem quanto Aline fez com pelo menos o livro que li é impressionante. Estou interessado na parte de gerenciamento de projetos. A organização de tudo. Não apenas a escrita, mas tudo isso. Eu me pergunto sobre isso com Matthew e todos os seus áudios e tudo mais. Aline também. Obrigada Google Translator 😉

Ann

cheers, kiwi! convinced that my 14 year old self is my truest self and i think i'm okay with that. certainly the 14 year old hormones will do just fine in this instance 🤣

Thank you for your beautiful answer! Read as a reader!

Dawn

Eu amo isso também! 💜 I hope you like the audio!!! 💜💜💜

Aline

My lovely Line!❤️ ok I’m ready🎙👩🏽‍💼 lol do you find that after a book is finished you find that the characters keep developing or evolving? We talked about the freedom writing brings for the author and how a reader has a different view not available to the creator, looking back have you noticed things you hadn’t before through your readers? If you could give Aline when you just started writing a piece of advice, what would you tell her?

Venusinaphrodite_

hi ann! luckily the only thing not right is that i'm not home to fully indulge in this audio 🤣 i hope your weekend has had a great start thus far! 🖤

aleigh -`♡´-

You too, love! I wish I could read your work too! 💜

Aline

Dawn, you are wonderful! 💜 You know, about finishing a book, I got a "call" from my publisher about just that in Amante. They told me "It felt like you didn't want to finish the story, so you did like five final chapters." 😂 So I had to change a few things. I have a hard time finishing the first manuscript itself, but in proofreading, I can tell it's done when I feel like 1. I haven't repeated the words so much. 2. It's fluid and I forget I was the writer, and I start reading as a reader. 3. I feel that the chapters are of a good length, enough not to tire the reader. But usually I stipulate a number. "I'm only going to change this book three times!" And say a prayer, perhaps? 😂 Thanks for the beautiful question!

Aline

Thank you Ann, and thank you Matt 💞 And Aline - ofc!!!

Lisa xx

Hey Lisa! Here's a hug so wholesome you might mistake it for an apple pie with a smiley face. 🤗 xx

Matthew Tower

Thank you 😊 I’ll keep all that in mind and I look forward to listening to you except. Have a good weekend 🖤🐇

BunnyRabbit

we love you aline!! so damn excited for this work 💜

aleigh -`♡´-

Thank you, Lisaaa! 💜

Aline

little scared right now. i don’t own a cat but i definitely just heard purring 😨

aleigh -`♡´-

Bunny, thanks for the question! In fact, I've never had a long period of writer's block. I think my characters are so insistent that they never leave me alone. 😂 But as for ideas, yes, sometimes it's hard to bring in elements that go beyond the character's arc. I constantly have a hard time thinking about romantic scenes - I feel like I've done everything I can - but then a new element comes along, something new comes along, and I feel like I want to write again. But for you, I would say: don't push yourself. Let everything flow naturally. If you are writing, for example, about vampires, try to listen/read and stay on the same theme, so that new scenarios can be created in your head. Research is always the key for me! 💜

Aline

🖤🖤🖤🐇

BunnyRabbit

Ooops things aren't quite right Aleigh? I hope you have a relaxing weekend!

Ann

🥂 Cheers to another week of pretending to be grown ups over, Aleigh!

Matthew Tower

Babe, I'm not okay! Hahaha. I love you!! 💜💜💜

Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song 💜🎶💜

SapiosexualGrrl

I hope Belles loves this as I did!!!!! 💜

Aline

Matt, first! I made a thousand dreams come true in just a few minutes. 💜 This tribute you paid to my writing, mixing mine and yours, and with your voice still narrating it as the scene in the book, as an audio of the character Secret, is one of the most precious gifts you could have given to my readers and for me. You created a world that inspired me. And I created a world that inspired you back. Being able to show this to Brazil was a dream since I decided to put you inside a story. Thank you, what a small word next to such gratitude. Still, that's what I have: thank you very much! You deserve to receive all the love there is and all the admiration, and it will still be little. 💜 Okay, about the book. Yes, I organize the whole script beforehand, like Chapter 1: this thing will happen. Chapter 2: this other thing will happen. But the characters always deviate from what I plan. They grow organically and undoubtedly take on a life of their own. They have personality, right? So it's quite challenging to still maintain the plot elements while the characters want me to do it their way! 😂

Aline

🐇 Actually, I have been naughty and playing in Mr McGregor's garden.

Matthew Tower

So excited for this one! (Not listening yet... I've got plans tonight and I want to give it the focus it deserves! 🤗) Aline, I was wondering how you start to map out your stories when you're working on a new idea? I had writer-ly ambitions once-upon-a- time but I could never get anything longer than 1000 words organized enough to finish.

Kathryn

Aline, eu amo isso!! And Matt, job well done! I’d love to see more collaborations like this in the future 😍

Meg_just_Meg

🤗🤗🤗🤗hug for you.

Ann

And Aline!!! You are remarkable!!!

Lisa xx

Aline! Congrats again! How do you know when the novel you are working on is done? When I write something, I go over and over it forever. So when do you know it's perfect?

Dawn

Thank God for Fridays and Tuesdays 🙏 Wish I was in the headspace for some spice tonight, but alas, not having a super time right now - will absolutely listen to it later though💞 I am however in desperate need for some good n wholesome cuddles though. Any takers? Sending love to y'all, as always x

Lisa xx

I'm so glad this isn't a question for me 🤣 My writing style is just like me = A mess lmfao

Maggie Ren

Aline hey 👋 How do you deal with lack of inspiration or writer’s block. Asking for a friend. #TotallyMe 🖤🐇

BunnyRabbit

Aline 🥰 I love you so much. My question is, is that okay? 😘 I’ll be back soon promise! Coffee, car, drive, listen, comment.

Katie

happy damn friday to me 🥵

aleigh -`♡´-

Hello Gorgeous are you being a good boy for Mommy 🖤🐇

BunnyRabbit

Hey Aline! We talked about a lot of stuff during your planning, but I realised I didn't actually ask exactly how you practically plan something as huge as a novel. Do you have the entire plot worked out beforehand (Nabokov called his characters his ‘galley slaves’) or does the story often develop more ‘organically’ (as I’ve heard other writers describe it). If you do plan, what does this document look like? Is it broken into chapters with plot points before you start writing?
