I'm new here and I just submitted my first story.
I have three genre novels published (small press, nothing big), but over the last few years I have had no luck with short stories. No luck. None. I'm here to work on my short stories. The way I see it, I don't sit around thinking about genre fiction, but I do sit around thinking about sex all the time. Therefore, it only stands to reason that the best way to work on my short stories is to write erotica. In other words, I am looking for feedback.
One problem I have when writing short stories is wrapping up the tale before it gets too long. As a result, I'm trying to make my erotic stories as short as possible, attempting to get plot, character development, and of course hot steamy sex, all in as small a space as possible. So far so good, my first submitted story was only about 1500 words and the two I'm playing with now are only a little longer (considering I once complained that I couldn't write a grocery list in less than 5000 words, that's pretty good).
Anyway, pleased to meet all of you, I hope you enjoy my stories.
