Obviously you’ve got to have a love of sex and be experimentive. The step into Erotica for me was merely experimental. I sent a few horny stories to a fuck bud, got some good feedback and decided that perhaps I was okay at it. Editing my books has been painstakingly difficult because there are only 24 hours to the day. I am currently rewriting my Volumes of Girl with a Dirty Mind and coming up with some new covers for my erotica, something to appeal to my female audience rather than me plastered naked all over it.
So I suppose to write erotica you must love sex, be able to think excessively about the scenes and put yourself in them to write about touch, feelings, love, romance, explicit sex (if you’re going in that direction), add a story line, weave it all together with good grammar and create a short love story that will turn others on too as well as yourself.
I’ve created over 100 short erotica stories. I estimate I will have at least 10 volumes of Girl with a Dirty Mind once they are completed, I am confident by the end of this year. They will be able to purchase in all major retailers (fingers crossed) as well as online and available in paperback and eBook. Finally my dream will come true that I have imaged for a couple of years. Achieving your ambitions is so exciting if you have the courage to follow them through.
I am so happy for you, and jealous. I am just starting out at this. I do have someone who is helping me along, “fleshing out” my stories. I can’t imagine seeing my work in any other print other than here. Best of wishes to you. I hope you do realize your dreams.
I’ve been at it for two years now so it’s not been easy. The state of my writing at the start was atrocious but I’m self taught. It’s good that you have someone helping you, I never had that help until now. You must imagine that your works are huge and you have a wide audience. Believe in yourself and anyone can achieve their dreams. Practice saying afformations and check out the Money Magnet Song on Youtube, it’s funny but helps to create wealth in your life. Also, I used to think that I could only be successful through mainstream publishing or having an agent. That took up a lot of my time submitting my works to them just to receive rejection over and over. But weirdly I have not given up on my writing dreams. It is a hard world but my partner is going to market my Guide to FFI Book. As weird as it seems, the way I think and strive for my dreams helped to ‘attract’ the right, influential people into my life like Keith, my partner, and Carlette, my editor.
