I know there are several stories in the "How To" section of Literotica.com regarding the topic of writing erotic stories. To tell you the truth, I've never read them and I really don't plan to. So why am I writing my own dissertation on this topic? Because everyone has their own point of view. Not everyone is correct, not everyone is wrong. I just want my vo...
How to write an erotic story? I write fiction. I write erotica. I write erotic fiction. Now locked in that particular genre for the past five years, that's all that I write. So, being that this is a how to story, specifically how do you write an erotic story, shall we begin? Honestly, I don't have a clue how to write an erotic story, I just do without thin...
Writing Smut for Profit: It's Not just an Adventure - It's a Job. Whoever told you that writing fiction for adult industry publication - for money - is supposed to be Artistic, Fun, or Easy -- LIED. Writing may look artistic, and creative writing certainly is artistic (that's why they call it Creative Writing,) but writing for a living - writing for publ...
What's your life like? Selena: Well, when I'm not pawing away at my keyboard, I worship my devoted husband, corral four kids (with another on the way) and almost a dozen chickens, all while growing an organic garden on about six acres of land. I also enjoy bellydancing, photography and taking long, lazy cat naps in the middle of the afternoon. At what age...
Some while ago I was reading contributions to the 'How To' category here on Literotica and I came upon one, and I cannot recall what it was about now, but what I do remember is that its author claimed never to be in a state of sexual excitement when writing. Rather, he claimed, he was too busy seeking the right word, the mot juste, to allow arousal to get in...
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: This story is rather experiemental in form. It isn't a straightforward narrative like most erotic stories. It is similar to my non-erotic novel, City of Pillars. It isn't for everyone. I am writing this. I am sitting and I am writing. The hotel bar is dark, the bright glow of the laptop shines in my face, illuminating me to the two or three o...
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...
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.....
I wrote this short essay a few years ago for a college english class. After all these years it stills seems relevant to me and I hope to you also! A Writer Writes Writing has proven to be a very vital asset in my professional and personal life. In my experiences as a law enforcement officer I have seen the difference a well through out and detailed report...
