When you know yourself as a writer,

Another perfect articulation by EB.

Wanna try to actually offer you some helpful answers. I'll try my best.



Great characters. Characters readers can care about. Sympathize with. Relate to. Characters we want to see win.



Bad characters.

It's real simple: if we don't care about your characters, why should we care if they fuck?

You can write pages of sex scenes but if your characters are one dimensional, well,.... we could just as easily watch porn instead.

As other have suggested, start simple; Boy meets Girl. Or Boy meets Boy / Girl meets girl... you get me.

Two characters. Tell us who they are. Tell us why they like each other. Make us root for them to get together and fuck each other's brains out.

Last but not least: proofreading and editing. Don't neglect it.

Hi, @coreyc, For my own tastes I disagree with practically everything DJmac1031 said. But, of course many, many (most?) people will agree with him. So the best advice is @ElectricBlue's about learning who you are as a writer.
