"Hey Mom! I Write Porn!"

rikaaim said:
After she reads what you do, there will be no question in my mind that she'll appreciate your talent. You could get paid, and should, easily if you started doing novels. The only problem is that publishers usually want tension, i.e. thriller, to sell to the lazy public. If a general reader has to think about it, they don't want it. Books now seem to have become as lazy as television.

Yes, and publishers want writers who can write more than 4 chapters, usually.

All that takes is time precious. I know you can do it, IF that's what you want to do. I find these short stories great, but already I'm writting a novel. So it is my inate nature to write long stories. It's also what I crave. Your chocolate mousse story did nothing but tease me and I wanted much much more than what you wrote. I'm a reading fiend though.

They wouldn't let me into the Masons, the black-balling bastards!

Oh, wait. Wrong thread. I meant, "Everyone should vie to publish Carson."

:D Why is this so funny?
 
Well, three chapters and an outline is what most publishers or agents request, so if you have four then you can fake it for a bit longer.... hehehehe.

But my point is, don't tell anyone. Not if you've got anything to lose (kids, a job, etc.) As soon as you tell it to one person, you've told it to everyone (especially at work). Don't risk it.

I think you're probably right. While I do like to consider my butt-sex porn "artsy"... well, it's still porn. And my mom isn't as open minded as Scarlett's freaky parents; she probably wouldn't be shocked, but I'd get a lecture on what I should be writing, which I don't think I could handle. *gag*
 
Mmm? Black balled bastards? Wow. Now there's food for thought. :D

I've only told people who I know already frequent Lit that I write here, as well as my husband, who loves my stuff. Good luck with your decision, Carson. Personally, I love your stories. And you're not so bad yourself, either. :rose:

It's just so funny, to look at our parents and not know them, one would definitely assume your mom would be cooler and more open minded but it's just not the case. If you really want to offend my mom, just fold the towels the wrong way. Gay porn? no problem, but don't ever wear a wrinkled shirt.

Hey, maybe you should tell your mom you voted republican and then say you're kidding. Then tell her about the gay porn, maybe then she wouldn't think it was so bad. :D
 
WHat if I just told her it was erotica? Then, if she insisted further, just pull out all the stops and let her read it all?

Tell her the premise of your stories. Do let her know that they get graphic, but don't give details. Say something like, "I know you've been wanting to read what I write, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I write very graphic material that revolve around deep human connections. The stories reflect my talent and have recieved many acolades and even some public reward, but I'm not sure if I want to expose you to the type of material that I write. I'm not ashamed of what I write, but I don't know if you want to try and handle it."

Maybe something along those lines. You can improv a bit if you wish.

Hey. That's fucking great. I need to write that on my hand next time I go home for a visit.

That's what I do best. I deal with customers all day long and have to gloss things over. It's my specialty. I can make anything seem good.
 
Hey,

No one in my family knows... they don't wanna know either. They only know that I enjoy writing. My sibs don't believe I'm the type to do that kind of pervish stuff...lol. My father is curious as to what I write, but hasn't asked to see anything. He says he remembers seeing me up late at night writing. I've told three guys I've dated... and they're proud of me. One who is a trucker has showed a copy to his friend. I've asked a couple of strangers their opinions on it... but my best thing was I gave some copies to soldiers on their way back to Iran. Now that's feels great to me to have them reading it! :D

It is a mystery to God and man.

So, Carson ... what have you done? If you say "nothing" I shall brand you a coward .

Shanglan

(Oh all right, I just want an excuse to brand you.) ;)
