About A Given Moment

Welcome to A Given Moment—a lifelong lover of language and the strange, shimmering truths that live in intimacy, in memory, in bodies both imagined and real. This space is home to original stories (both fictional and factual), sensual essays, and the occasional musing on the wild, often slippery act of writing about desire.

I’ve been in love with language for as long as I can remember, and with erotica almost as long. I think of it not just as a genre, but as a practice: of attention, of embodiment, of emotional risk. The work I share here lives somewhere between shadow and spotlight—where longing meets language, where vulnerability becomes its own kind of seduction.

Some of the pieces are polished, some are impulsive. Some are purely imagined; others pulled from memory, dream, or diary. All of them are attempts to capture what it means to be human and hungry—whether for touch, connection, release, or simply a well-placed sentence.

A Given Moment is not about shock, or spectacle, or perfection. It’s about intimacy. Permission. Play. And the strange magic that happens when we let ourselves be seen, or see ourselves more clearly, in the throes of it all.

Thanks for being here. Come for the longing. Stay for the sentences.
