Welcome. Stranger Than Fiction. My Writing Life. Trollop with a Laptop. THE SKINNER. TanithLee.com. The Scottish Storytelling Centre // Storytellers. In Spring 2010 Leith’s lunch clubs, residential homes, libraries, sheltered housing centres and churches were alive with the buzz of storytelling. From February to June, nine professional storytellers from the Life Stories group made a total of 42 outreach visits to older people’s groups in the Leith and Leith Walk areas of the City, including people with dementia. Tales of old Leith and its many characters were a favourite, and were complemented beautifully by stories from past and present everyday life, traditional Scottish stories and of course a song or two. A cup of tea and a chat was also an important part of every visit. The Leith project built upon the success of similar projects in the Central, North and Leith, East, West and South West Edinburgh from 2005 to 2008.

Perhaps the icing on the cake were two special community storytelling events, at South Leith Parish Church Hall and the Scottish Storytelling Centre, to which all participating groups were invited.

The Lo Down: The Bell Jar. Secrets of a Sex Writer: “Are Your Breasts Real?” and Other Questions Not to Ask a Sex Writer « Sexu. “Are your breasts real?” I was asked this while sitting in Happy Ending Lounge following my monthly reading series In The Flesh. True, the questioner held a postcard featuring me dressed in lingerie, holding the Njoy Eleven between my breasts, promoting a public casting of my breasts I’d had done earlier in the year.

Also true: I’m a real woman, not some erotic robot without feelings. I was stunned that a stranger would ask such a personal question (and no, he wasn’t drunk), yet after writing about sex in fictional and journalistic ways for the last ten years, perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised. The answer is, yes, they are real, but let me warn you: Don’t go around asking people you don’t know this or other intimate questions. People seem to think that because I have revealed a lot about myself in my writing, covering everything from my bukkake fantasy to threesomes I’ve had, that there is no aspect of my life that’s private—and that’s decidedly not true.
