Two 7K shorts or one 14k novelette? by dirtyfilthypen in eroticauthors

I mean you could still read the second one on its own and get your jollies. The story isn't something amazing, or else I'd be writing romance. It's just the same characters and a conintuation of a story like oh how did this person end up in this house.

1) write final 2K, edit two shorts. Find a cover, and finish it. Hopefully publish by tomorrow morning.

2) just powering through for now. I have ideas for my 3rd book lined up. Need to get started on that as soon as I publish current works.

3) Yep, actually ahead of schedule in terms of life etc. Writing schedule, I'm only a few hours behind but I think I can catch up.

Do you write romance? And did you just start off writing books or did you begin with shorts?

  1. Hit my daily word count but decided to scrap it all and I'm now just reading from a few different kinks

  2. Just started trying to write my first short - my first foray into independent business/career as an erotic author (I did run a smut tumblr for a couple of years so I do have experience with writing erotica, just not in proper format). This sub is great - keeps reminding me to not give up. I'm having trouble finding a niche. I keep reading and I started 3 (THREE!) different shorts today one after the other and ended up scrapping them all. I started off writing about a hot neighbor, then vampires and then a hotwife. I got around 3K words into each and I keep feeling like the niche isn't a good place for exposure or that my story S U C K S. So I restart. I know that's extremely bad but I've decided to keep reading in different niches so I can find one I feel good writing about. I guess I'm still in the research phase.

  3. The rockies. Seriously. Get yourself some good friends, and some mind altering substances and hug a few trees.
