I rarely can't write, but occasionally an idea is slow to start because my subconscious is still cooking. If that's the case, I'll often start a side project (everything of mine this last year have been side projects because I've been writing what I call my stupid big thing). Maybe if you're stalling on a novel length piece, give shorter pieces a go. Simpler plots, fewer protagonists, less to get complicated.Long story short, how do you inspire yourself to write when the inspiration doesn't come as naturally as it used to?
Also, how do you feel writing erotica differs from writing in other genres? I am new to writing erotica, though I have dabbled in it from time to time with limited success.

. . . I am primarily interested in writing novel-length works of fiction . . .

Hello all. I hope you are well this evening.

Lately I have been in something of a writing slump (for far too long, actually) and was wondering what you do to get the motivation and interest in writing back after a long break. I think part of my problem is concentration related, as I am on a few medications that muddle my brain a bit and make it hard to focus for very long. [...] Lately I have been wondering if I should try my hand at some different forms like short stories. Maybe that would help me get some of my inspiration back?

Makes sense. If you can't turn yourself on, why would you expect your words to turn anyone else on? My test for my own material is to read it six months on, to see if it still "works." Some do, better than others, and there's a few that, if I hadn't written them, would tag as favourites, because they work every time. Which just goes to show how effective** conditioning can be, if you can do it to yourself .It's true. As I pleasure myself, various plot lines surface. The ones that seem to have the most effect on getting me there are the ones that eventually turn up in my stories.
I tend to mostly write about things that have happened to me or I have hands on experience with,
The biggest difference in my mind is that I can get a lot of people to read my stuff and I can get people to help me get better with my writing. I was really bad at writing when I started posting stories here, still managed to get an editor and still managed to get quite a few comments to my first story. If I was writing fantasy short stories instead, I'm doubtful I'd be able to find the same size readership.Also, how do you feel writing erotica differs from writing in other genres?

I often think of plot ideas as I fall asleep at night and flesh them out in the morning (pun always intended). I'm opposite to Athalia; I write the sex scenes with the goal of getting an erection. That tells me at least one person was aroused by my writing.Here's a confession: I usually write most of my stories in bed, when I'm masturbating.
It's true. As I pleasure myself, various plot lines surface. The ones that seem to have the most effect on getting me there are the ones that eventually turn up in my stories. By the time I've actually sat down at the computer to write them, I've told them to myself a few times, and they're usually in enough focus for me.to put into words.
Give it a try!

Of course, then I deserve a reward...
