Good Evening Everyone,
Alright, I accepted the challenge! I’m throwing in my lot. I was chatting with a few girlfriends/fellow authors and writing erotica vs erotic writing.
Erotica: When the story hinges on sex (take away the sex and there’s NO story)
Erotic Writing: A real story with hot sex (take sex away and there’s still a good story)
It seems that I can’t write erotica based within that definition. My stories have details and characters. Honestly, I tried with “Those Eyes” but something happened. Somewhere between the airport scene and the pillow biting, the characters came to life. What happened there? I find it difficult to write without a back-story or at least some semblance of character development. What most folks fail to realize is erotic writing has a fine balance of white-hot headbanging lovin' and (dare I say it) romance.
I'm so not a romance author, well at least not the way I see romance authors. When hear "I'm a romance author" I think of Fabio blazing across the cover with a weary blonde perched on his knee.That's not me! The only thing that going to be perched in my stories is my heroine waiting for her man to attack.
We'll let the supermarkets take care of the Fabio types.
Anyway, screw it! No more characters; just genitals knocking about in a haphazard twitchy manner. I’m going to try my hand at smutty filthy! Could it go pear-shaped? Yes, but that’s the challenge before me.
No story, just humping for the sake of humping! I’ll post the end product.
Cheers,
Tracy

With all due respect Tracy, I am not sure you can do it. Like you said, you tried it with "Those eyes" and looked what happened, people got down right put out when you said it was a one-hit-wonder. You've got the gift-live with it.
If I may be so presumptuous, we write what we would read. If I sat down to read a book about random and rigorous humping without any inclination that there were actual human beings, with a range of emotions, doing the acts, it would capture my interest for about 5 minutes. I suspect it is the same with you. |

Thanks Olga. Yes, you understand me perfectly. I write what I enjoy reading. While my taste doesn't fit everyone else, it is mine. Granted, Precious has to assist me with the poop-shoot stuff, because that's not me, I trying to give readers a visual.
Gift my butt! I get caught up in the story myself and then end up with a saga. |

Humping for the sake of humping!!!, you know me Tracy, i'm down!! lol
All jokes aside, you are a damn good writer, "you do what you do well", no doubt about it. I don't have the gift to create a story like you guys do, but i can tell you everything there is to know about beauty and shoes...or how my day was, because for some strange reason, my life is an adventure. Write whatever makes you happy... |

Aw, Heidi Bear. That's so kind of you. I try...Lord knows "Those Eyes" came out of no where, lol. I always know I'm going off the path when my Mom calls with her heavy German accent "Tracy, what are you doing?"
You should pick up a pen and go for it. You never know. |

Yes, Heidi. You should absolutly go for it. I was on the the fence and didn't know if I had the goods and Tracy told me the same thing and look what happend. Oops! I am not sure that helps my argument (my husband tells me I've turned into a Super Freak and he said my stories are making him wonder about me). But, anyways, I would love to read whatever you write. if you are willing to share.

You should start a beauty and style blog if you don't already have one.
