These three things were my initial impetus:
I always wanted to write a story about a relationship that involved more than two people, because I'm interested in such things and felt there wasn't enough written on the subject.
When I lived in San Francisco I noticed a lot of random attractive young men dressed in black, and always wondered who they were.
I was out one night playing pool with a boyfriend, and a guy approached us at the pool table, giving us tips on the game, we had to rush off to pick up a trailer from U-Haul because we were moving away from San Francisco the next morning, and we never saw him again. But I used that for a "what if..." take off point.

It helps a lot to live an interesting life and subject yourself to interesting places, people, and experiences.

My second novel, "The Man with the Camera," which is subtitled, "Bonita verses Ivan Rastaman and the Monkey-go-round."
It's more fun and less deep than "Love, Sex, and Understanding the Universe," and is told in third person from several different perspectives.
Many of the characters are bisexual but it isn't about bisexuality.
Much of it takes place on a Caribbean island.

For me it's simply something I have to do, so what's best is not repressing a major urge.

I write about anything, not worrying if it's any good or towards any end. I once described a white table top, another time, the sound of a flag in a light breeze. I consider it an exercise in writing and wait until it eventually leads to something that takes me on a great writing ride.
