In 2007 & 2008, I wrote stories under Bostonfictionwriter, as Freddie. Then, in 2009, I wrote stories under CarBuffStuff, as Joe, PositiveThinker, as Paul, and WmForrester, as Elizabeth. In 2010, I wrote stories under Andthenend, as Susan. Next year, 2011, I'll be writing stories uner SuperHeroRalph, as Christine.
Some truly believe that I'm a heterosexual man, while others are positive that I'm a heterosexual women. Some think that I'm gay, while others think that I'm lesbian.
I'm none of the above. I don't exist or shouldn't exist, if I'm worth anything as a writer. I'm invisible. If you want to call me anything, call me a writer.
My passion is writing. It doesn't matter to me if you think I'm a good writer or a bad writer. What matters to me is knowing that I'm improving as a writer. When I compare what I've written over the years, I can see the improvement and I'm happy.
I'd like to use this thread for those who want to discuss writing, stories, characters, dialogue, categories, or anything that pertains to writing stories. For me, it's all about the story. I love telling a story. I love creating characters, until I can see them well enough to give them control of the keyboard and allow them to write their own damn story.
I suck at editing. I refuse to use an editor. This isn't the Harvard Review, after all, it's a porn site, and I've been criticized for not using an editor. Why don't I use an editor? I'm an accountant by trade and accountants can't afford to make mistakes. If I have to comb through my story in the way that I do with an Excel spreadsheet, than writing isn't fun anymore. It becomes accounting.
I only write stories for the 6 contests. Why? There are a couple of reasons. Contest stories are noticed more. Contest stories appear at the top, whereas, normally my stories are reserved for the bottom of the new page of stories, along with, my buddy, Samuelx, for some reason, and even then, they still shit can my story at the end of the new contest stories for the day.
Contest stories stretch my imagination more than just looking at a blank screen. It's fun to write contest stories, even though I don't expect to win. I realize that winning a contest here is more a popularity contest than it is the best stories win because there are a lot of talented writers here who have never won a contest and then there are those writers who, well, aren't that great and who have won plenty of contests.
Yet, all of that doesn't matter. It's about the story. It's about growing as a writer. Writing is a lifelong apprenticeship. Sure, it takes talent, but writing is something that a college professor cannot teach. Sure, he or she can teach the mechanics of writing, but either you have the talent of you don't. Either you have the discipline to work at getting better or you don't.
Just as I don't know of too many editors that are great writers, I don't know of too many writers that are great editors. Editing and writing are two different animals, yet to publish, the two must work together as a team. My talent is creating the storyline and developing the characters. I love writing dialogue, as much as I love writing narrative.
I don't know what I'd do without this site. This site makes me write every day and every day I write a minimum of 3,000 words, some days more. Yet, if it wasn't for this site, I wouldn't be so disciplined. Thank you Laurel and Manu.
I write every day from 5:30am until 10:30. Then, sometimes, if I'm in the mood, I write again in the afternoon or late at night. To me, my stories aren't dirty stories or pornography, they are erotic literature. It takes a special talent to write an erotic story.
Yeah, sure anyone can write sex in a story but too many of the writers here only write stories that have sex and nothing else, no beginning, no middle, and no end. There's no character development and I've even read stories where they didn't even bother to describe and name the characters.
We, as readers, want to see what the writer is seeing so that we become more engaged and lost in the story. Show me the story, don't tell me the story. Let my mind see for myself. What you see may not be what I see, and that difference between the two makes the story either an average story or a great one.
For all those who have read, voted, and commented on my stories, thank you. For all those who have sent me e-mails, thank you.
My plan for 2011 is to write 28 stories in each contest. I've already written 9 stories for the Valentine's Contest and just need to write 19 more. Why do I write so many contest stories?
For me, it's no fun just to write in one or two categories. Life is too diverse. I wish I could write in all 31 story categories, but I can't, four of the 35 categories being poetry categories.
I'm having the time of my life and I hope you will continue to read my stories.
Thank you and Happy Holidays,
