What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Since I write erotic fiction one of my biggest thrills is hearing from people who tell me that they get really turned on by my work. With pornographic videos and images so easily available these days it seems a little old-fashioned to get your kicks from fictional accounts of sexuality but fortunately there are still plenty of people who enjoy the opportunity to use their imagination.

Another thing I love about being a writer is the opportunity to become totally immersed in the world I'm writing about. I love doing research. Sometimes that means reading about a different time period or it may be involve actually going out and experiencing something new to find out what it really feels like.

Most satisfying of all is communicating with readers who enjoy what I do. It's always sad when I get a bad rating or review because I'm not trying to offend anybody or waste their valuable time but fortunately the majority of my feedback has been very positive and that gives me encouragement to keep going.(less)

That can be hard to do at first because those influences may well be one of the main reasons you want to try writing in the first place but you've always got to strive to find your own voice.

It's been said a million times but it's often best to start out writing about something you know. It doesn't have to be a total autobiography but you'll find it easier to make the characters and plot situations more believable if you're drawing on your own experiences. Another tip is to set your story in a place you're really familiar with. It gives you the opportunity to provide a richly detailed setting for your story and the people in it.

Most importantly do a lot of writing. It's okay to start books that you don't finish for one reason or another. Writing is really one of those practice makes perfect situations. Don't be overly discouraged by rejection or negative feedback. If you look at the reviews here at Good Reads you'll find that there are people who hate some of the most highly acclaimed books of all time. It's hard to go through life as an author completely unscathed and it always hurts when someone says something bad about your work but it's a long road and your masterpiece may be just around the corner.

The Road Less Traveled

On the surface my books seem kind of random in their subject matter but they're actually all kind of tied together by the common thread of being somewhat out of the mainstream as far as sex is concerned. In "The Virgin Whore of New York" I'm looking at prostitution and the love/hate relationship that society had with sex in the Victorian era. "Free Love" examines the sexual revolution.
