story help

[wanderingwizard]

I'm writing my sexual escapades from the last year, and I need help. The purpose of a Literotica story is to tell the sex of it. The sex is certainly "there", but I need to tease it out of the writing and make that the central highlight. One of the themes of the story definitely could be about me regaining my mojo, but so far I've only seemed to remind myself that I still don't fully feel my whole mojo is back, and a good sex story seems to require a *great* climax.

Is it too soon to write? It might be another year before I reach the climax I'm looking for!

Help!

Or you can just keep on writing until you do get your mojo fully back. Stories can have cliffhangers after all.

Don't do it as a personal thing, but implant the adventure of another, mythical, person. You can play with it, then

Thanks tishadomina. Totally Handley_Page.

As an author, what do *you* get out of writing the stories, personally? I'm interested to hear from people that are writing stories based on actual events in their lives.

For one, I get a kick out of the comments that this and that couldn't actually happen, when those were the elements of the story drawn on something that actually did happen.

I find when writing a story based on actual events it's important to make it a story and have fun embellishing it. It's good not to be literal about the whole thing and emphasise certain sensations, emotions and parts so that it takes on a life of it's own. I find it flows better when writing it.

As I'm writing this, I'm having these "oh shit," moments where I realize how much I have matured sexually. There's value to this, but the story itself needs to be sexually delicious.

Maybe a reader wouldn't see it the same way I do. When you are writing your stories, do you feel sexual about them?

I think it depends on the story itself, personally I have to feel sexual on some level as I think as it helps add to the overall atmosphere of the sex in the story, I could have a read of it if you'd like an outside opinion.

sure, i'll PM you.

the snippets of sex are there and i know how to capture those moments, but it's the narrative in between that is confusing (to me).

In terms of story telling, this is just the right time to write. Take it from wherever it is in a fictional telling of where you'd want it to go in your wildest dreams with an engaging depiction of the journey there, ending in your "best outcome" resolution.

As a writer, do you ever feel creepy about telling the story of someone you actually knew? Obviously, you change their names, but do you change the circumstances or their traits? How do you deal with this?

Hullo wiz! welcome to the Authors' Hangout.

Well, you could play with something <snerk>

One way in which to develop your writing about sex, is to write some 'scene's rather than an actual 'story'. There are a lot of short, well-written and popular 'stories' on Literotica which don't have plot, or character development. They are good sexy descriptive pieces of writing which jump straight into the action. To give you the idea, I review one of them (among some other stories) here.

I did recently write a story in which the central character was loosely based on someone I know. I felt a bit guilty but I don't think she will recognise herself. I don't know her very well and my character of course developed as I wrote into someone quite different.

Drawing on Real Life experiences or people will add depth to your writing. All sorts of people will always jump up when you become famous to claim that 'so-and-so' in your story is really them, anyway, so I should just stick a disclaimer about all characters being fictional on the top. The one time I felt I really had to do this in all my weird fantasy stories, was when I made up a character who was highly placed in regional government, and an S/M submissive werewolf with pierced nipples. I've never come across such a person in real life, but I just knew someone would say I had based it on him unless I hurriedly stuck a disclaimer on the top!

No, I haven't. When I've directly modeled someone who actually existed (most of them who were dead before I wrote about them, incidentally), I tried to stick with my perceptions of who they were, and I rarely have written what I consider derogatory views of them. Most of what I've written have contained only bits and pieces of multiple people at the most.

I'll have to admit, though, that I have written some of them--and the instances--close to reality, as there is one regular poster to the forum who traced the real me down by researching times/events/real people through some means or other (which I've found quite amusing considering that some folks here hold that I'm lying about my background. Well, not much, it can't be, if someone can track me down purely on the basis of the content of my stories and whatever I've said here about my background ).

Sometimes, sex is great. I hope everybody is lucky enough to have the sort of sex you can't even go back and describe (but this *is* an internet forum, after all). Then, there are not-so-good partners. Even still, when the sex is somewhere in the middle, we often don't get to live out every fantasy we have. There's a block, and it could be as simple as our bodies not physically being capable of exceeding the Kama Sutra or maybe the dog comes in and jumps on the bed.

When you write sex stories, how do you like getting through the block?

Also, as a guy, is it attractive to narrate from a "guy's perspective"? By this, I'm referring to some stories that skip over details and portray situations in the sort of measurements like the man was depicting the last quarter of a football game: "he entered the bar, saw the woman with the pert tits and flowing ass, got a smile, made conversation, got her beers, bought her a cab, accompanied her home, and gave her every mouthwatering inch while she serviced with her mouth and pushed her panties to the side so she could play with her clit. he observed with marvel as her lipstick massaged his cock while she sat perched atop her 2 inch heels with her short skirt hiked up revealing her deserving pussy. she was becoming ready with wetness."
