Writers?

[CharleyH]

Anyone feel like discussing erotic writing for a change of pace?

 

[cantdog]

As long as we can avoid "form."

 

[rgraham666]

If I was doing any these days, yeah.

 

[firefly03k64]

I'm in. So very new at this, and always interested in learning through conversation.

Actually, no. Erotic writing is the last thing on my mind.

 

[Lady Reiha]

Actually, no. Erotic writing is the last thing on my mind.

I bring a present:

Sure, shall we wax at length on the difference between Erotica and Porn...

course I still haven't figured out which I actually write.

 

[Munachi]

well discussing about writing is a good excuse to not do the actual writing... so i will discuss...

 

[Diamondbarrow]

I'd rather not, because Erotica usually only serves to depress me by reminding me that I'm lonely. Woohoo!

Don't you have a Holiday Story to finish?

 

[CBM_Redux]

If this constitutes thread-jacking (it is a writing oriented question) then disregard it...

Do you people write a certain number of pages per day. If so, how many?

Hm lol

 

[CharleyH]

Actually, no. Erotic writing is the last thing on my mind.

I bet

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Sorry, Charley...

I've given up writing both Erotica and Porn... I'm sticking to humor.

Blah - Talk! Silly people.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I actually have been writing again!

I finished a sonnet- as much as any of my poems are ever finished- and it's up on Lit now.
And I've opened some of my files, and looked at what I had written and where I had left off. And I just LOVE it when I can be happy with my writing!

 

[hmmnmm]

I'll watch and bump if that's okay.

The idea of erotic writing brought me to AH in the first place.

It's what I thought it was for...

And if anybody needs it.

 

[AngelofDarkLust]

Can't you do both at the same time. Sex is pretty funny after all.

It's at least a starting point for discussing writing instead of discussing whether to discus writing.

No, I don't write a certin number of pages per day. The stories come to me and get written in one or two marathon sessions over a day or two. Then comes the tedious and time consuming part of writing -- turning that marathon spurt of inspiration into something worth reading.

It takes me a day or two to write a story and another week to a month of editing and revising at a minimum.

Lets talk WRITING not promo. (PS- good for you, Stella. )

 

[FallingToFly]

I'm not writing any erotica at the moment, Charley. I'm writing a romance. I have a few things on hiatus that are erotica, but nothing interests me enough to work on it, except my NaNo entry.

Here's an opening question: would you rather have well-written smut (graphic, short, straight to the sex story) with minimal focus on who these people are and why they're doing what they're doing, or well-written erotica, where the emotional context takes the place of graphic sex and the sexual focus is softer?

Romance is not erotic?

I've tried the NaNo method. I've tried daily word counts. I've tried daily page counts.

I can write a 70-85k novel in 3 months. That's whether I crank on 50k the first month and then agonize for two on the final 30 or whether I'm slow and steady and manage it over the entire course while pounding out a few shorts in the mean time. On a great day I'll make 5k. On a bad day I'll do nothing. Anywhere in between is good for me.

Okay. So I'm not the only one. I do so desperately want to be one of those people who religiously come home from work and bang out 10 pages (hell even 3 pages) before dinner.
