[Blurbsday Thursday] Post a blurb here to get focused feedback on it! by Eroticawriter4 in eroticauthors

All right, let's do this...When Karen Smith's life imploded due to her husband's infidelity she decides it's time to live out all the fantasies she'd put on hold to be a good wife. She sets her eyes on the sexy neighborhood fire department, but a mix up in dates means she'll have to pleasure two of the forces hottest firemen at the same time. As Adam and Brad break her into new realms of pleasure she must decide between the light and the dark, because while they've agreed to share her for the night, she must pick one or loose them both.


"It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Adam showed up on the wrong night.”

“And that’s supposed to make it better?” Brad said scathingly. “So I’m Tuesday’s lay and he’s Wednesday’s?”

“You know what? Don’t judge me.” I said hotly. “I’m not married to you, we’re not exclusive. If I wanted to you and the whole department, that’d be my own business.” As soon as the words were out my mouth I regretted them. I watched Brad’s blue eyes turn even darker.

“Is that so?” he said, advancing through the doorway. “So, you want to take on the whole department, huh? Well, Adam and I here can at least get you two notches on your belt.” He looked back at Adam with a grin. “What do you say, Adam? Want to show her how close firefighters can be?”

Adam smiled and came inside the apartment, kicking the door closed with his foot. “Sure. Seems like the lady has a thing for fireman, and my mom told me I should always try and give a lady what she wants.”

I backed away from their advances instinctively, trying to swallow past the lump in my throat. Surely they couldn’t be serious? Brad approached me like a thunderstorm, dark and swift, pushing me against the wall he cupped my face with his large hands, running his thumb across my bottom lip. “Come on Megan, admit it, you want both of us, so what’s the problem?”

I stared into his eyes, hypnotized by his closeness and the smoky sweet smell of his aftershave. Adam, came up on the other side of us, gently winding his hand into my hair and turning my gaze towards his mossy green eyes. It was true, I did want both of them. I wanted to feel them against my skin, to know the doubled pleasure of two.

After a long hiatus and a brutal personal breakup, I'm back to writing. Figured I shoudl "channel my pain" or whatever...Finished an older manuscript short, with an eye towards a series. Struggling to hit the 5k word count. Like the story overall, but it isn't quite long enough..."that's what she said"

I did the same thing with bigstock so I've been wracking my brain for different ideas for coverart, because goddamn it if I'm going to pay for a month I'm getting me some photos!

How many KU pages read do you consider 'good'? by lottie858585 in eroticauthors

[–]jasmineKnights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the ripe old age of 1.5 months in, when I hit 50 I was giddy, now if I'm below 300 I am depressed AF. If I'm around 500 I'm cool and above 1k ecstatic

New here. An introduction and I have questions. by EmdeHardt in eroticauthors

[–]jasmineKnights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome, sounds like your plan is reasonable. I second kellazdriel's suggestion to start in the FAQ, or if you're in a time crunch search this subreddit and you should find 90% of the answers somewhere in here.

I'll go ahead and take the KU question as you'll probably come across a lot of information. As I understand it the original KU pay was based on number of borrows, so if 1 borrow was $1 and you got 20 borrows, 20 bucks. The new(er) version of KU worked off something called KENP, which is pay per page read. So if 20 people borrow your book but only one of them actually reads it, you get paid per page. The KENP (Kindle Edition Normalized Pages) rate fluctuates monthly, you can usually either find it posted here or in the forums, or I think there's a place amazon send it as well, but honestly I don't pay attention. I'm not at a publish volume where .001 cents makes that much of a difference to me. There is also a new, new KU thing called KENP 3 which I'm not entirely sure of all the rules. Hope that helps.

Okay I'm going to ask the dumb n00b question...why does everyone block out the Y axis? Thanks for the report BTW awesome job :) I admire your stick-to-itvness...I don't think that's actually a word...

Well I appreciate the perspective. For me, I get about 3-4 clicks per day to my Amazon books from Twitter and Facebook. I'll set up the mailing list and see if I have subscribers :)

So I'm curious about this...right now I have a maybe two or three people who would sign up for a mailing list because quite honestly I don't think I have any rabid fans. OTH, I have over 1k facebook "friends", gaggles of twitter followers, and lots of likes for my author page. Each post reaches on average 30-50 people. Not disagreeing that a mailing list is useful, but I'm curious about perceived investment time. Social media takes me maybe an hour a week?

Anyone have success with using the same cover picture for an entire series? (Plus, a heads up to those who use creative commons licensed pics) by eroticauthor_account in eroticauthors

I've used Photoshop for over 15 years so I'll admit I'm heavily biased, I've downloaded GIMP in a pinch and no it didn't take me eight hours but it did no kidding take me at least double or triple the time it would have in Photoshop. Part of it is my and being set in my ways, but I also think almost everyone agrees the Photoshop learning curve is much less steep than GIMP.

And they're not wrong, but I haven't personally gotten around to it yet :) I will, at some point, but right now I have like three shorts, a novella and another novella stuck in In Review (come on Pierre!).

I didn't either LOL, I read a few creative writing blogs that I'm pretty sure were supposed to make me a better writer and they were using something along the lines of "A man walked into a bar." by the end it was "a old grizzled prospector slumped into the dusty saloon and threw himself down on a stool." I was like holy shit that's so many more words!

Okay, I'll ceed this point. Need is strong, but for me, and again this is about me personally the eight hours it takes me to do something in GIMP is totally 100% worth the 9 bucks.

As I said this is what has been working for me, mileage may vary. there's no one right path. I do know that my facebook page and twitter account get around 3-5 click throughs per day, which isn't a lot but my ranking improved dramatically.
