So, You Want To Write Erotica?
So, you've decided that you've read enough and now want to write erotica. Well, how do you go about doing it? Sit down and start writing? Sure. But if you want to get published, you'd better get an education in how to write erotica. There are many types of erotica out there, so decide if you're going to do a Penthouse letter or a full book, like The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A. N. Roquelaure, who we all know as Ann Rice. Then there are the piles of ebooks and short stories such as are available at www.erotiquepress.com. Don't even need to leave the comfort of your cubicle to get at those.
One great website with huge amounts of information is: www.darkerotica.com. There's a link from this blog. She's also got a great blog, too.
What timeframe do you want to write about: historical, contemporary or sci-fi-futuristic? Maybe you have a bent for the fantastical, such as vampires, werewolves or other supernatural creatures with big cocks and know how to use them.
Oh, yes, I said cock! Get used to it. If you write erotica, you will have to become accustomed to using language that you may not be comfortable with. Get over it. Pussy, cunt, balls, cock are all going to be part of your vernacular now.
But that's okay. This is erotica, not the romance your mama gave you.
Another writer to keep in mind is Virginia Henley, who writes very hot. As does Bertrice Small. Makes me sweat! But the first thing to decide is what type of erotica you want to write.
It's all fiction, so don't think about some hot sexual experience you had and just write it up and expect it to sell. Yawn. Get down, get dirty, get interesting. This is fiction, people. Make it up! People don't want to read about your teenage grope you had in the back of a classroom while the teacher wasn't looking. Erotica must be hot, it must be fully consumated in a multitude of ways and show everything. We want to see it fight there on the page.
If you'd like a fabulous example of a short, fast paced, fun erotica story, go to www.erotiquepress.com and download The File Room. It's only a buck.
