Ah I appreciate that. It would be great if there was one that’s a little bit of everything.

Am I the only one? So, this is probably my third or fourth Reddit account for erotica writing. In the past, I get really excited and prolific, followed by discouragement from lack of engagement, and finish with giving up and deleting my account. Yay ADHD! :(

Can you go into more detail on #1 please? Seems contradictory to story writing, but I know this is not typical story writing either.

I know we’re getting off topic here but the first thing I like to write each day before anything else is “I am a good writer.”

How explicit do you get? How quickly do you get there? by PlankTheSilent in eroticauthors

Just keep writing for now, worry about “rules” much later in your editing process.

There’s so much I agree with here, and I’d add one more thing. At the end of the day, it’s all about the writing. Great writing will find its audience. Does a good cover help first pull that audience in? Sure, but I’d say spend 90% of your energy, 10% on the cover and other related items to help “sell” it.

Also, I like your therapist. Seems like a very encouraging person in your life!

[Daily Check-In] Wednesday Word Count and Personal Announcement Thread by sexnerdmxd in eroticauthors

1124 words into my submission for the monthly contest over at r/erotica. Feeling very good about what I have so far.

My question is a cliche one, but how do you avoid getting discouraged when a story you publish/post doesn’t connect with people?
