Sexual satire

[bogusbrig]

I would like opinions as to whether this is a misconceived idea. I started out confidently on an ambitious project but now I'm having serious doubts. My idea is to write a satire set in an enclosed world of a fetish fair come sex club. I've written an introduction which is below. At first I rather liked it but now my doubts are growing, I'm not sure if it is because what I've written is so bad or whether I'm just experiencing normal creative doubts. Anyway, this is the first draught so I know it needs some editing.



SORRY, EDITED AS A BAD IDEA

Before booting the idea... put it aside for a few days go back, read it over and make changes if any then go on. some works are complex and takes longer to get into. Another suggestion is to go to cafes, and coffee houses and just talk to people about your work get their perspectives and use whatever you can.

SORRY, EDITED AS A BAD IDEA

i'm not sure why you think it's a bad idea (it sounds promising to me), but you have several options you can try.

you can beg somebody to privately have a look and give you their opinion.

you can submit some of it to the Story Feedback Forum and ask for help.

you can bin it.

you can keep it until you have a little more confidence in what you've written.


i spent a little time giving some editing suggestions in the Story Feedback Forum a while ago. i have a few authors i look over their work now. if you'd like me to take a look, PM it to me or email it to me and i'll let you know what i think.

knowing you, it's simply normal creative doubts. it sounds like the editor within is raring her ugly head. *smile* you do have another option. just keep writing until the entire story is finished, then give it one editing yourself, leave it for something like six weeks, give it another edit yourself and then give it to someone you trust to cast their eye over.

shout if you need me.

and have confidence in yourself, you write well.

For the moment I've lost total confidence in it. I think it is too experimental, their are experiments within experiments. I've still got it and keep looking at it and if I get some confidence back in it I'll post it on this thread.
