So, without realizing it, my year anniversary flew past. I figured I should at least make note of the event and chit-chat a bit.
I’ve wondered who I’ve become. I was under a completely different pen name and blogging site last year, but the threat of exposure forced my hand. Ultimately I have to thank the person… Hold the phone, like hell I’ll thank her for being a total bitch… What I will say is that the change has been a great thing for me as an aspiring writer.
I’m much more fearless with my writing than I’d been before. Less apologizing and more writing the things that live deep inside. The freedom is much appreciated because I think it’s made me a far better writer.
The last year has meant I’ve experienced other things in my personal life. Exploring kinks, desires, fun things I wouldn’t have before. My understanding of myself has changed a bit and my confidence has grown by leaps and bounds
I wouldn’t give up my writing to appease someone else so I made a change. A damn good one if I do say so myself. Becoming Cara was a decision driven by necessity, but ended up being a good choice. Hindsight is always 20/20.
In other news, I’m thinking of making all my provocative photos private on here. Just thinking about the risk/consequence of displaying myself thusly when I want to make another stab at publishing (and in general). I will be taking them off Twitter and dedicating a tab to here on my site. If you’d like to have the password to that tab, please see the contact form under my Just About tab. I’ll let you know when I decide and make the tab live.

The amount you have discovered about yourself and shared with us this last year has been an inspiration. Thank you.
I am constantly amazed how adventurous you have been in trying out new things, especially having claimed to be such a shy and innocent girl! Amazed and stimulated:-)
Your writing, too, has developed loads. You sometimes have sex and lust dripping off the page. Sometimes sadness. Sometimes laughter.
I agree totally with making your pics private. Every time some asshole tries to take a piece out of one of my virtual friends I feel really angry and protective. Having had Noodle damaged last year and now somebody feeling they have moral ascendency over Hy, along with her real identity, everything you can do to protect yourself is ok with me. Just don’t let fear of disclosure make you go silent. Ever.

You’ve certainly been a great encouragement in the advancement of my explorations. There are two sides to me. I can be both shy and outgoing, and both a products of my personality and the way life has shaped me. It’s been fun thus far for sure. So. Much. Fun. 😀
I’m extremely proud of you. It’s nice to share your journey and to watch you evolve!
Bises,
Dawn

Haha. I’m not sure it’s all that brave
((HUGS)) I liked you before, and I adore you now. You’ve come a long way in a year – haven’t we all? 🙂
Author
((Hugs)) to you as well! 🙂
Congrats on the anniversary Cara!
I haven’t stopped by in a bit because I’ve been doing a fair bit of offline writing but I’m glad I came across this blog and whatever brought you to it, the regular readers like me have been the really lucky ones.
All the best and hope to stop by more often in the months ahead.
Cheers!

You’ve got a lot of neat stuff going on! Glad you still stop by
I try as and when I can, wish I could more often but can’t complain at the causes keeping me busy. 🙂 it’s a conundrum!
Author
Haha. It’s okay. Not a bad conundrum to have really.
Happy Anniversary! 🙂
