Q&A With Jess C. Scott
I am very pleased to present a short Q&A With the wonderful Jess C. Scott, who writes very entertaining, very sexy, stories.
D: Can we start with a short bio?
J: Sure — I’m a (soon to be) 23 year old writer/artist/non-conformist. I work hard and play hard. My debut blog/IM novel, and sophomore novel, are about sex and sexuality (amongst many other things). I’m a Venus Scorpio (which explains several things about me all at once!).
D: When did you start writing?
J: 3-5 years old, maybe. I still have the stapled-together sheets of few paper which made up one of my first “books”. It was a short story entitled “The Robbers”, with a cover and illustrations. I went on to some short stories and poetry. My first real, decent poem was written just before I turned 16.
D: And when did your writing become erotic? Did you choose to write erotica, or did erotica choose you?
J: A friend dared/requested an erotic piece from me when I was about 18. The piece features somewhere in my second book, 4:Play. To answer the second question — I don’t really know, actually. Writing (along with sexuality) is a significant aspect of my life. I tend to just show up and go wherever I’m supposed to go. I let my internal guidance “lead the way”…
D: How do you handle the “Is this true?” question?
J: Diplomatically — my (honest) answer is that it’s usually “a blend of fact and fiction”, and only I know the exact percentages of each! Which is a situation I like maintaining.
D: Your stories range from solo/masturbating to on-line chat and to incest. Is there anything you wouldn’t write about?
J: I won’t write about something if I cannot see some sort of purpose to it. I will write about anything if I feel like it, but will probably keep it to myself if I don’t think the piece is quite up to standard. It’s a case of whether the story was/is well-written or not (subjective as that may be), more so than how taboo/immoral its contents are potentially.
D: Do you find it easy to balance where the story might want to take you and where you are comfortable going? In other words do you ever get an “OMG, what if my mother reads this” moment?
J: Quite, actually. I have never been fearful to go a different route. People can say what they want about me and my work; it’d make no difference to me as a person or as a writer. I usually know “the destination” of the story from the onset — it’s the internal guidance thing at work again 
P.S. My mother *has* read some of my stories. She’s a truly gracious woman who treats everyone with respect and manners.
D: Do your stories always have a happy ending?
J: They usually do, unless I’m going for a more literary endeavor with a particular story. I think there’s enough pain, misery, and suffering in the world. I like creating what I’d like to see in real life.
D: They say sex sells, but sometimes I feel that writing explicit erotic material closes as many doors as it opens. What type of reactions do you get when people learn you write erotica?
J: It’s quite straight-forward — the people who like erotica are more enthusiastic, and those who don’t wonder why I like focusing on the subject. As a writer, I’ve never and don’t intend to stick to just one genre throughout every single poem/story/book that I write. I believe diversity is a good thing in the long run.
