Hello, I'm tcs1963 and I've posted a few things here in the story threads. Writing is kind of cathartic to me. Releasing some of my imagination so it doesn't get lost inside my head. I appreciate all views and comments to all my stories, whether bad or good. All I ask is try and remember its my imagination. Hopefully I'll write something good enough to make you say,"Wow" after you have had a nice orgasm. Looking forward to meeting new and erotic people. Thank you.

I too, enjoy writing. Sometimes to clear my head, sometimes the writing just 'flows', and yet, sometimes it takes an hour until I get a paragraph the way I am happy with it.

On my last 3 published stories, I've asked for comments (good or bad) so I can improve my craft. I find that I read and read and read. Usually to find out how better authors work their craft. I've created a "top 10" list of my favorite authors and will refer back to them when I feel my writing is getting stuffy.

I will say that I have developed a list of things that some authors do that annoy the heck out of me. In no particular order: improper use of punctuation, wrong verb tense, poor adjective choice, lousy spelling, no use of quotations or reference of who said what. My final pet peeve would be the ones who write 500-1200 words in one long paragraph. My eyes get tired trying to follow along. Ok, ok, I know "stop your bitching".

One final thought, I've written down the author names of the three that posted above me so I can read your work.

To quote BigBrother07, "Happy writing everyone".

So, I'm in the middle of writing a story, and I am feeling like my character development is going fine. BUT, I'm having a writers block making the sex scene new and exciting. This just seems strange to me. I'm always expecting the exact opposite. I get so tired of the same old thing suck, suck, spank, fuck, orgasm...blah blah blah...

I generally write in the 'observer' style so I am describing the scene so fully understand how it can become 'samey'. To get the emotion and feeling back in I will write a story in the first where I can't rely on descriptions but have to describe my feelings and emotions. When I then switch back to my normal style I find that I now try to convey that in the descriptions and narrative.

I always find that the situation leading up to the sex makes the sex a lot more interesting. One of the old classics of this website, Chris and Christie, mostly handled sex the same way every time in terms of what was done, but the pretenses of the sex made each instance of sex feel unique and fresh. Fun fact, it's also my main story inspiration and a big part of why I started writing.

As Pablo (or Paul) pointed out, adding emotional stakes or even removing them does wonders. If you approach writing sex as what kinks you're writing, then you're inevitably going to eventually get bored writing every kink. But, if you make it character-first, and make the story about who is having the sex and why, that will really make your story shine, to me at least.

Regarding my earlier post about my stories, I guess I should’ve invited any author to critique my them and not just Bashful. I know what I’m writing is more of a niche vs the primary interests on this site. I’m very fine with that. I am playing around with the concept of this becoming a book. I’ve been encouraged to do so for some time as a seminar speaker on the topic of lifestyle and polyamory. I guess one area of interest is whether I should start writing much more as a dialogue between characters and include much more of their thoughts and feelings vs the style I’ve chosen which is more from my narrative. My Dr friend is who is bugging me to do something with this suggesting we move it all to character dialogue. I see advantages both ways.

Thx Paul. That is precisely the issue. Educate vs entertain. We, and I say we because my friend is an excellent writer, would only do the book if education was the primary goal. Ash and I went from exploring sexuality to very deeply living out polyamory and have included some extraordinary people, intimately into our lives. For instance, I’ve lived five yrs with the most darling up and coming politician in our State (even Clinton came down to campaign for her) and after that five yrs with probably the most published lawyer/professor in our State, among others. Ash has lived over ten yrs with a CEO Mensa type IT guy that was my best friend, and through it all we stayed best friends, married and are now back together... but also with several great people living with us. Our life is very entertaining and something we would’ve tradgically missed if not for understanding polyamory. People at the seminars want to know how we navigated all that and what lessons we’ve learned. We’ve got enough stories and insights for several books and my Dr writer friend wants to turn it into a type of Fifty Shades on lifestyle/polyamory. It’s a daunting task and I’d like to play around with it here first. As far as sampling other authors... I’ve done that here for a decade. There are many who are simply superb writers and far beyond my current skill. I’m frankly in awe of their abilities. I’d love to hear about the genesis of their skills and what they have done with their talents beyond the stories on this site.
