The title of this article is a bit deceptive. Writing is an art form, a gift, that you either are born with or not. Of course, even if you are, you must still polish that gift. Learn your craft. And practice it. Practicing the craft of writing is what this article is really all about. Making time for writing in a world where people are constantly rushing.....
What is the difference between a good story and a bad one? With so many different preferences and perversions percolating among the aficionados of this site, what one person enjoys another may detest. The best erotica is not the sex, but how the story of sex. Many works that would have been good stories have been sabotaged by poor grammar. On one hand gramm...
Dear Reader, After having written 150 stories and 47 poems on this site since January, I have made some observations, some of which I have shared in my story, Hits vs. Voting and Public Comments. Those of you who vote and leave comments will either take pride in the fact that you are not who this story is directed at or will rise up in your self-righteous...
It's that time of year again. Time to look back on another year. Evaluate your life and the progress you made this year. Time too to set those elusive goals, New Year's Resolutions, whatever you call them. For me, it is something that I have been doing for most of my adult life. In the past decade or so, it has become almost an obsession. I have read dozens,...
You've written this really nifty and/or hot story that you want to see posted on the Literotica story site but you're fairly new to this, and you haven't been able to get anyone on Literotica to read it and give advice on making it the best story on the site. What do you do? First, it doesn't have to be the best written or polished story on the site. Reader...
Many people have written to me or spoken with me in person to say that they are amazed at how prolific I have been. I must admit that, while my ego certainly likes such compliments, I do not particularly see myself as being prolific. Yes, I write a lot, but it is really not because of me, but because of the characters and their stories which fill my head. In...
Author's note: All the characters in this juvenile story are over the age of eighteen. All the characters are entirely fiction and the product of a sick and twisted mind, including those who are not fictional. If you don't like the story, call someone who gives a damn. Staring out the window of his cheap, third floor office on 3rd Avenue, Harry Dick, medioc...
Author's Note: This is my opinion on how to create and operate a successful chain story. It's by no means the only way and it's not what you may find is your way, but for me it works. Enjoy and good luck if you do decide to one day construct your own chain story on Lit. ~ Red Some of you reading this may already know what a chain story is and just enjoy re...
Remember folks, death is not an option. No, not that "Joe Lieberman or Janet Reno, and death is not an option" game. You can't reach through your monitor and strangle sense into that {censored}{censored}{censored}{censored} individual who doesn't have the good sense to recognize you for the literary genius that you are. Okay, maybe genius is stretching it, b...
There are no underage characters in this story. All characters are over the age of 18-years-old. * Writer shows how to entice readers to read her stories by using mother and son incest. With all the stories posted to Literotica and with all of the stories that I've posted to Literotica, it's still a mystery to me how to get you to read my story? Being tha...
