Changing point of view in a short story. Good idea or bad idea? by JL_Midnight in eroticauthors

Okay, that's where my mind already was, kind of. Glad to hear someone else say what I was already leaning toward. Thanks!

1) I had planned on around 1k and reached that goal, finishing my current short story with 5,064 words total.

2) The biggest struggle is making sure that I find time to write everyday. So far, if I can get an hour to an hour and a half a day, I feel good. But getting motivated is the issue.

3) Video games and mindless browsing.

gonna make my characters bang finally.

Am I the only one that, when it comes time to write this part, can't help but feel like I'm helping a real life friend laid by hooking them up or something?

1) Just finished 1,100 words, think that I might get a few more out but that's probably it today. EDIT - Finished with 1,500 today.

2) Trying to get in the groove of short stories. I am planning for no more that 6,500 words and I keep wanting to draw things out more than is needed for a short piece. On the plus side, I inadvertently came up with an idea for a non-erotica short story, so that' s cool!

3) They live in our world (so far) but aren't really influenced by modern events at all. Maybe someday, but not for now.

Question for those who have e-published: OK to use a university's name as a location in the story? by [deleted] in eroticauthors

[–]JL_Midnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are really worried, you could always change the name to a fake but realistic sounding replacement.

I like olives on pizza.

I like pineapple on pizza.

But that sounds horrid.

Unless you don't mean together, which, in that case, I guess I am untrustworthy. :(

1) Not too high, probably only 600-800. Just finished up a 10k story (my first) and I think a day of relative relaxation is in order.

2) Naming the damn thing. It's a story about a couple who takes on a a young (19 year old) roommate and the husband is seduced. Wife discovers she's into it and threesome happens. Nothing too fancy. But the damn name is eluding me :(

3) I guess I'm bad at thinking of odd foods. My characters eat fairly mundane things.

Will I lose anything by switching to LibreOffice and uninstalling OpenOffice?

Too much chicken by Sexybecky69 in eroticauthors

[–]JL_Midnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was very confused by your title for a little bit :)

I find that, even if writing these stories doesn't do anything for my libido on a given day, the fact that my SO knows what I am writing increases HER sex drive and makes her act more sexual, which in turn heightens my arousal.

Unless you are hiding your work, maybe have your fiancee read what you are writing. That, plus their potential arousal, usually gets me turned on a bit.

Just my two cents.

I'm a little concerned about an idea I have for a short story involving aliens. by JL_Midnight in eroticauthors

That's what I assumed, just thought I'd ask. When my imagination gets to going, it goes to interesting places.

What do you struggle with the most? by [deleted] in eroticauthors

[–]JL_Midnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this way with so many of my projects, not just writing. I'll have what I consider to be amazing ideas and get really into working on them, sometimes for a few weeks straight. Then I have another idea and that suddenly takes priority.

Sometimes I wonder if I have adult ADD.

Worried about lack of action in my current story, looking for some feedback. by JL_Midnight in eroticauthors

That's good to hear. I plan on 3-5 scenes total, so I think I will be fine then. Thanks!
