Reviews & Essays

There were only seven Earth Day Contest entries, either in single-segment stories or completions of series to review in the last week of the contest, but they were all interesting and worthy contest entries. two of them, Munachi's "For a Better World" and SlickTony's three-part "Panic" series, were competitive with the best in the contest, in my opinion, and...

Hello! I have been a Literotica reader since 2007. I have been overall impressed by the quality of writing on the site and I appreciate the work everyone does in creating their stories and admire the courage it takes to post a story. I commend all those who have used Lit to develop as a writer. That said, often I am a picky reader and have noticed things...

LESSON 1 Why Use Dialogue in the First Place? Hi, I'm Whispersecret. I am going to attempt to explain how you can include dialogue in your stories. Hopefully, by the time I'm done, you will be able to confidently use quotation marks, commas, ending marks (.?!), and tags (he said/she exclaimed) correctly.

How To

I am new to "Literotica" and for that matter, new to writing for the purpose of entertainment. I am not even sure how long I will continue. I read many stories by various authors before attempting to tell some of my own experiences. My background experience and training probably greatly influence both my writing style and my judgment of stories written by o...

How to Eliminate Writer's Block

by BOSTONFICTIONWRITER on Sep 13, 2017
How To

As you can tell from my 425 stories and 52 poems, I don't have any problem with writer's block. I used to, though, when I was younger. Finally, after long writing dry spells, I decided that my writer's block was attributed to not having lived enough of life, yet. I didn't have much to write about, then. I didn't have any stories to tell. Actually, now that...

Non-Erotic

These are based on persons that I have had the disadvantage to have known. The stories are based on facts that are real, with a great deal of distorting the facts to make a better story. At least better in my opinion. If anyone thinks they recognize themselves in these stories, then I truly pity them. SHE WAS NOT A PRETTY WOMAN She was not a pretty woman,...

Reviews & Essays

I made the list of the 250 favorite authors. I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. Last time I checked, I was last on the list, until someone realized their mistake and removed my name from their list of favorite authors and bumped me from the list of 250 favorite authors. Then, when I checked this morning, I was right back on the prestigious list bring...
