Perhaps this is the wrong site to write what I write.

[SusanJillParker]

Obviously, sadly, and unfortunately, being that Literotica is more a pornographic story site than it is an erotic story site, perhaps this is the wrong site to write what I write.

As everyone who reads what I write must know, I'm big on character development.
I want to know what makes people do the things that they do. A reason for everything, perhaps I go overboard in psycho analyzing my characters to expose their motivations.

Seemingly, those who read stories here don't care why a woman has sex with younger men, with her son, or with dozens of men, they just want to read about her having sex. Even though I've been told that I need to keep my audience in mind when writing and to write for my audience, I'm happier and more fulfilled as a writer when not writing for my audience but for myself.

I wonder what audiences JK Rowling and Stephen King had in mind when they wrote their best selling stories. I suspect that neither author was thinking about their audiences. I suspect that both authors thought more about their characters than their audiences.

I write for my audience plenty enough when writing stories that are commissioned for me to write. Yet, it's frustrating to see the stories of writers who don't have a clue how to write a story earn better scores than my better written stories earn. Nonetheless, I don't write for scores, I write what I must, need, and want to write.

I watched the biography of JK Rowling. Interesting stuff. When I look at her, I see her pain. Even when she's happy, she looks sad. I can feel her pain. I guess money doesn't make anyone happy. Yet, I'd rather be miserable with money than to be miserable without money (lol).

Oddly enough, she was rejected as many times as Stephen King was rejected when he wrote Carrie. When even the publishers don't know what will sell, how are writers supposed to know (lol)? How are writers supposed to write for their audiences when we don't even know who our audiences are?

I suspect that JK and King had no idea that their books would skyrocket in the way that they have. Instead of writing for their audiences, instead of writing for fame and fortune, they just wrote, and that's what I do and have done.

Hi Susan, I think your a little wrong here perhaps. Personally I don't score unless it feels like it's a personal experience. I think, yes there's lots of porno stuff. It's so easy to skip though to reach what's for you.
King and JK have got to be admired, but my personal favourite author is Irvine Welsh. Have you read any of his? They are difficult, as most are written in an Edinburgh dialect.
I'd rather like to read something of yours. Are any on here? What's your personal favourite, of your own work that you'd recommend?

Are there any stories of mine on Literotica?

"Hmm, lemme think about that (lol)."

Well, there's nearly 600 stories and poems under my real name, SusanJillParker. Then, there's stories under my other names AndTheEnd, BostonFictionWriter, (I deleted about 300 stories from that account because they were being stolen and published as e-Books). I've also written under the names CarBuffStuff, PositiveThinker, SuperheroRalph, and WmForrester.

Taking a break from writing stories under SusanJillParker, in 2016, I wrote stories under DebbieDearDebbie (my Mom's name, who worked as a stripper and a prostitute), ILookLikeJailBait, LadyofErotica, MADMADMADMAXine, MyMomChristinetheIncestWhore, SamanthaJacquelineStephenson, and TallBlondeBustyBlueEyedBimbo.

The best story and the story that I recommend is the story that I'm writing now, My Wife is No Longer My Lover, a story about a voyeuristic pervert, a CPA, and an exhibistionistic whore, a librarian, who have been married for 45 years.

Chapter 1 of that story should post tomorrow or the next day.

Gotta admit SJP, I have never read any of your stories, but your posts seem to consider one particular character almost exclusively.

I suspect they had a burning desire to tell a story, then they developed the character of the story and after that come the characters in the story.

I read erotica to masturbate. Long-winded character development is fine for regular reading, but it doesn't do anything for the job in hand.

And, frankly, if the clumsiness of
"Yet, it's frustrating to see the stories of writers who don't have a clue how to write a story earn better scores than my better written stories earn. "
is the standard of your prose, then just maybe you aren't as all-that as you think.

Freddie (aka "Susan") is primarily a performance artist on the forum, and, as colddiesel suggested, it's always all about him.

Initiating thread necromancy.

Yesterday I was curious, seeing as SusanJillParker is one of the forum "personalities," and actually checked out one of their recent works, Mom, Sis, Aunt & Cuz Naked Ch. 08, and was pretty appalled. I'm going to be objective and say that it wasn't... bad, but that it immediately reminded me of my ex's writing style.

Chain-of-thought writing, without any hindsight or revision. The biggest problem is that identical phrasing is reiterated in sentences back-to-back. Not once or twice, or a handful of times, but this happens throughout the chapter several hundred times. At one point you repeat the same sentence four times in a row (with minor variations), as if you just weren't able to hammer the point in to your satisfaction.

It gives a rather manic feel, like your mind was homing in on what you wanted to say, clarifying its intent and getting a little bit closer with each sentence... but then you never went back and removed the almost there attempts once you finally did reach your intended meaning.

It's an interesting approach, and I feel like it'd work well if you softened up your sentences and made them feel a little less stiff, less of a constant barrage mechanically listing action to action to action to dialogue to action.
