Writing Tires Me Out...

[txgent101]

I had one story published last year. It is in Erotic Couplings: Suddenly Sonny by Txgent101. I was pleased that five people 'Favorited' the story. I had another fairly short story rejected because of the way I did the dialog, and am reworking it.

So this year, I am working on yet another, longer story. I can write for a day, but have to take some days away to recover myself. When I write, I very much identify with the characters in the story. Sorry, not sure how to do it another way. I am writing as if I am one of the characters, more or less first person.

I actually amaze myself after I have written for a while. It is as if I am another person. And sometimes, the stuff seems to flow out. I try to write a whole section, or part, while I am in the mood, so I do not lose track of what is happening. And then I get tired. Whew!

Sometimes, what I write makes me want to pleasure myself. And I let that happen on occasion.

I wrote for about two hours this afternoon. I have about four chapters of a story in draft form. When I have gone over it some more, I will look for someone who will read the first part and give me some feedback.

Just musing out loud....

Thankyou for sharing. I mean, if you can't share that on LIT, where could you share it....LOL

I'm sure many of us share your sentiments about our own writing. I certainly get all my little fantasies down in words.... I do surprise myself sometimes.

I had a story rejected for dialog too, I always forget that freaking comma at the end of a dialog sentence! Always do!
I fixed it, but decided to not resubmit it because after reading it over again while adding commas, I didn't like the story much even though a bunch friends read it and liked it. I might submit it again one day.

I write in clusters, but that's how I do everything. I have bipolar and that's just the way my mind works. When I'm manic I can accomplish so much, except sleeping(probably why I can accomplish so much is because I don't sleep!)

Its the little punctuation and grammar and spelling things that get me every time. I always miss something and I'm too impatient to wait for someone else to double check me.

I write every day, 7 days a week, 8 hours a day. Just as I never take a day off from writing, I only write when inspired. I can't imagine going a day without writing.

I'm more of a novelist than a short story writer. Mostly all of my stories are character driven. My advice to you is to develop your characters to allow them to tell their own story. Not limiting myself to my own personal experiences, developing characters is how I'm able to write in any category.

I never stare at a blank screen and wonder what to write. It has taken me years to allow my window of inspiration to stay open for such long periods of time.

I write 6 to 12 stories at a time. When the inspiration stops for one story, I move to the next.

Because I love writing stories, I don't look at it as work but after I'm done, I'm exhausted. Then, I answer e-mails (lol), more writing.

Incest is the biggest draw. Whenever I post a mother/son story, I receive 200-300 e-mails the first two days. I answer them all, even the nasty ones (lol).

"If you were my mother, I'd fuck you. I'd stick my cock in your mouth and have you blow me. I'd love to cum in your mouth, Susan."

Me too. Freakin' wipes me out.

Me too. Freakin' wipes me out.

I've not inflicted myself with the torture of authorship for a few months now. I feel much better. I can dictate or scribble story notes for my ready-to-write slush-pile, and play here and on Story Ideas, and not worry about grinding down and actually accomplishing anything. Whew.

I have been reading more of the Lit threads on writing, guidelines, etc.

I write in MS Word. I realized my use of quotations and punctuation was out of kilter, so I used the Word editing feature to find a bunch of errors (where I had the period after the quotation mark), and replaced them with corrections, that was handy.

Then I moved a lot of dialogue that I had integrated into a descriptive paragraph out of that context and into separate paragraphs. It reads better.

So, I am learning as I go.

I doubt I will develop the stamina that your have! I am coming to this party rather late in life, so it will be a rather short engagement. I am enjoying it so far.

A slightly related subject: I have also been connecting with young women in the Lit chat rooms. Some of our exchanges have been quite intense, personal, unbridled (so to speak). Of course, this within the limitations of the typed conversation. Sometimes I can illustrate something by entering an image address from my Tumblr account. My point here is that I feel like I am learning how to structure sexy/erotic dialogue via the chat room. I will see how that ports over to a Lit story.

Thanks so much for your comments!
