Over the past couple of years I have been writing my sexual memoirs. I have written and outlined several dozen stories -- about long-term relationships, one-night stands, and in-between: i.e. a handful of experiences with the same woman.
Besides actual drafts of stories, I have compiled a list of about 300 women and probably well over 2,000 or 3,000 erotic experiences to relate. One challenge I recognize is how to maintain the reader's interest and not become repetitive. Would it be appropriate to insert photos or artwork occasionally?
I'm wondering if there is an audience for this type of writing, and if so, would it be better to present and market them as free-standing stories; to combine them into a book (incl. e-book); offer them as serial submission to a periodical; begin my own blog and offer them on the blog; etc. etc.?
What format would be the most successful, the most profitable, and the most widely accepted?
Should I group them by my experiences at different ages , such as high school, college, 30's, 40's etc.?
Would it be better to group them by type of experiences, such as romantic, long-term relationships, one-night stands, multiple partners, fetish, Swinging, BDSM, Exhibitionism/Voyeurism, etc.
Can I mix different styles within one book,e.g. romance, explicit, hard-core, soft-core, etc.; or should it be more cohesive and targeted to specific audiences?
I know, lots of questions. Any help or advice is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
