Where did you get the inspiration for "Growing up in the bathtub" ?

Mar,16 2010

I always try to find a new angle for each of my stories. For years, I wanted to write a story about a character who unconsciously is a naturist but doesn't know it yet. I wanted a character forcefully drawn toward nudism without even realizing that they wanted it. Kind of like a boy who tries to seduce all girls only to convince himself that he isn't gay.

Believe it or not, the idea came into my mind when I was in my own bathtub. My wife and I sometimes take our baths together, but even when only one of us is in the bath, the door isn't locked or often, not even closed.

That day, I was relaxing of a long and hard day and just decided to stay in the warm water to cool down. After a while thought, the water cooled down and my wife joked not to waste my evening in the bath. "Growing up in the bathtub" was written the very next day.
