Me & D*ck

C. Robinson

Please welcome back the author of “Me & D*ck!”

Guest Post by C. Robinson

Before 50 Shades of Grey, before Carrie Bradshaw, the world we know was changed forever by a true pioneer and goddess of the Chic Lit world. Ms. Helen Gurley Brown, who passed away two days ago at the age of 90, will forever be a hero to those of us who want to rattle society at the knees. She demolished the preconceived notions that good girls are pure and sexy girls are simply crazy and wild. She risked being labeled “scandalous” by having the audacity to talk openly, frankly and honestly about sex. Society is still evolving to accept what used to be taboo as natural and stimulating.

            As I write my own Chic Lit series, Me & D*ck, I realize that although my heroine, Sunshyne Mercy, is still facing many of the same struggles and challenges as women did fifty years ago, she has more options.  She is experiencing  a quarter-life crisis and turns to partial escorting to help her grow financially and emotionally.  I can’t help but wonder how Ms. Brown’s mother felt when her daughter’s published book “Sex and the Single Girl” hit book shelves across the country becoming an instant success. Not only because it was different and people were curious, but because she was expressing and giving a voice to something that many women secretly felt.  My mother, still from the generation where women were supposed to act properly and sex was never openly discussed, supports my writing but still finds it difficult to tell her friends what my books are about. It is those mothers, who encourage their children to follow their passion, who empower them to turn their passion into success and change the world.

            “Good girls go to heaven; bad girls go everywhere.” I couldn’t have stated it better myself. I prefer badass over proper any day of the week. It is the trail blazers, the women and girls that say “I want a juicy past, a legendary tale, to share with my children and grandchildren” that make the world more exciting and accepting.

            I feel as though each of us is living our own version of a Chic Lit story, and we determine  how it’s going to end. Will we take the risks that will propel us forward? Will we take a stand on what we believe? Will we not settle for a guy just to have one but rather hope that our “perfect” guy is out there?

            Remain steadfast to what you believe, let your ambitions drive you and in time you’re dreams will be reality. Ms. Brown so perfectly expressed, “What you have to do is work with the raw material you have, namely you, and never let up.”

            Be your own success story!

Q & A with C. Robinson

Describe yourself in five sentences:  I’m a passionate person and writer who takes life’s experiences and turns them into stories that people can relate to and learn from. I seek out opportunities and create them if I have to. I am not limited by a fear of making mistakes – I see them as material for my books. I’m a go-getter by nature, a positive person by choice and someone who finds humor in every day.

How did you come up with the title of your book, “Me and D*ck?”  Once I had the concept of the book, a character who’s moonlighting as a partial escort (oral sex escort), I figured that Me & D*ck  could serve as a double meaning: the main character deals with dicks on a daily basis and the main male character is Dick. It worked out perfectly.

Where is your dream place to write?  The beaches of Malibu with a martini in one hand and a computer on my lap watching the waves crash against shoreline.

Hard/paperback or eBook?  Both

What is your favorite word?  Why?  AWESOME – There’s so much positivity behind the meaning; it emphasizes greatness.

Explain your best setting for writing and editing?  Laying on my bed with the music playing in the background listening to the rain hit the window. I seem to be most motivated to write during a thunderstorm.

What other authors do you admire?  Tim O’Brien – The Things They Carried. He is able to connect to his readers in a unique way.  Although the material is difficult and gut-wrenching, his style of writing still leaves the reader inspired as well as informed.

Have you always want to be writer?  Yes. Writing was my strongest subject in school. As funny as it is, Mighty Ducks the movie, inspired me to want to write books that would be turned into movies.

What is your guilty pleasure?  Nail polish (I have a habit of changing the color of my nails every other night) and watching Master Chef.

What is your favorite scene from “Me and D*ck?”  Towards the end of the book when my main character, Sunshyne Mercy, realizes her self-worth, is empowered, takes a risk and is comfortable with who she really is.

What must a writer have with them at all times?  An open mind and no limits on their imagination.

Do you have any upcoming projects?  If so, can you tell us anything?  The second book of the Me & D*ck trilogy is almost complete.

Additional comments from C. Robinson:  Keep writing your life; you never know where the next great story will emerge from.
