Simple Sexy Skills for the Erotica Writer

[princesssexci]

Of course. I just ask (if it is possible) that you post the picture so we can see what you started with *smiles warmly*

Kay No problemo. Also, I read the first page on this post and saw that you wanted to become a real writer. If you go to eharlequinn, they have a challenge for writers to write a novel in three months. Not sure if you knew or not, but thats a good opportunity.

Image three in the exercise post, first aura, coy amusement, infatuation:

Frank chuckled, and leaned his head towards Beatrice, his voice growing husky, "Don't worry baby. I'm positive the slam poetry night will be able to muddle along without us for just a bit..." He drew her by the hand and she blushed a bit, her body already responding, giddy with excitement. They came together against a wall in an alley behind the coffee bar, and their hands fumbled with his belt, together, like novice poets forgetting words. Their eyes met each other, and her skirts hiked up, her back scraping against the rough red brick of the building, he pinned her there, a finger tugging her panties aside, his hips rolling as he attempts gamely to find purchase.

She finds his fumbling amusing and to save her still tender ass from further outrage, she reaches down between them, guiding him in and gasping in pleasure as he drives himself to the hilt. They start to grind into one another and gradually establish a pistoning rhythm. Every thrust inwards and up sends arcs of pleasure through her nerves, and bright little stars of pain, as he impacts against her cervix and she moans and caterwauls her pleasure to the echoing empty alleyway, drawing a few furtive glances from passersby, especially those headed for the coffee bar. The public place, the rough thrusting excites him, and he gropes at her tits with his smooth hands, leaving bruises and tender little pinches, and then in a rush he finds he's gone too far and he drives her particularly hard into the buildings able assistance. He gasps, groans his own loud low of pleasure, and fills her with his cum.

They comport themselves, both ruddy with recent sex, and then he smokes as they stand outside the bar. When they come in, the stage is empty, the gathered poets and audience as one applauding. Bravo.

Second Aura, exhausted paitence (warning largely nonconsensual, or at least she's awfully screwed up. To say nothing of him. Rape, etc. Please don't read this portion if that will trigger something for you. I really don't want anyone to hurt from reading this (except in a good way, of course))

********************ENTERING EXTREME MORAL AMBIGUITY/RAMPANT IMMORALITY PLEASE WEAR PROVIDED GOGGLES, AND FOR GODS SAKE, DON'T GET ANY ON YOU...==============





Frank looks down, counts to ten, and she watches him pensively, as finally he breaks the silence, "I've had enough of this, Beatrice. The fucking poetry can wait. I want to get something else done first," his hand closes on her wrist, and he drags her towards and alley way her slight frame following his a few halting steps before she says, "Stop it! You're hurting me, Frank," Beatrice's voice is plaintive, "I don't deserve this, baby. Stop!" He shoves her against the wall, and cuffs her, laconically.

Her world is a momentary welter of fever bright networks of light, her ears ringing, the strong sensations from the cuff making the world dull, as if under a gray tarp. Somehow, he's there when things come back into focus, his cock already straining from his open fly (she reflects her fleeting glimpse made it look like a leery wicked face) she beats fists against him, but has never been very strong, her eyes going wide with shock as she feels him move her panties to oneside. Her hands flail against him, but he simply ignores them. He drives himself into her unready pussy and she feels it stretch and even tear slightly, quickly betraying her and growing savagely grotesquely wet, as he ruts into her. She cries quietly choking back sobs and small mewls of combined shame and pleasure and her whole body shakes with revulsion. He doesn't even have the heart to justify this to himself, speak filthy things to her, tell her how much she's earned this over the weeks of their association. He is silent, and workmanlike, his eyes even going dull with pleasure, and a cold, cold rage.

She looks into those eyes and feels so frightened, so alone pinned up against the building where just a few feet away she's expected to be a poet, people are happy, warm, drinking some coffee. So very empty, despite the bright agony of his seed washing into her, stinging in a tear, this gross mockery of sex and life completed. He leaves her, walks away from the damned coffee bar, and she slumps to the ground, shocked, numb and furious at herself, but mostly at him....


Critique invited, I'm very interested. This is a freshman effort, and i apologize if the above is a bit too grotesque.

 

[ShyMystica]

Just a little update. I did tweak the exercise to make it more understandable. *blushes deeply* I did write it while being half asleep. Sorry about that guys.

So here is the current exercise. For any more questions just message me.

Thanks Azeo for the work! I will have a look at it later, but if you don't mind I will not read the latter one, only because it is a little confronting for me. I hope you don't mind. But thank you once again for sharing. *smiles softly*

Beating the Block

Writer's block. Just those two words can put fear into the most confident and published writers.

It is no secret that I have and still continue to struggle with writer's block. There are many reasons why we suffer it from time to time. Such reasons can be; emotional stress, physical pain or illness, life changes big or small...the list really can go on.

So, I wanted to write this up in hopes of helping any others who may be stuck in a block, or anyone who may want some ideas for when they hit a writing jam. These are what worked for me personally. As always, feel free to PM me any exercises or to post them in this thread.

For those of you who are new, I just quickly wanted to reassure that this is not a dictated or abusive thread. I am not a teacher. I in fact am studying to become a writer. What I post here are ideas and exercises that I thought would be helpful for everyone. I am learning with you, so please do not feel threatened. I simply want to share some little things that I pick up in my research. I offer critiques when asked for them; not from a tyrant point of view, but as a fellow writer. If you do not want to be critiqued, simply post "DO NOT CRITIQUE" at the end of your post. This is a safe writing environment. But if you don't feel safety, you can always PM me. My inbox is always open.

Critiquing Ground Rules

Don't ask for advice if you don't really want it
Don't offer advice unless it is stated at the end of a post that it is wanted
Don't take advice as a personal insult
Always be positive and constructive
Mention the things you like as well as the ones that could be worked on
Remember - The final decision and opinion that really matters is your own!​

With all that said, let's get to it!

What you waiting for? - Gwen Stefani

Tip #1: Do not be too hard on yourself
*puts her hand up*
Yep, I am a HUGE sucker for this one. What I have come to understand is that there is a time and place for critical thought about your work; it is called editing. While in the creative process try to keep all negativity and judgement out of your mind. We are all our own worse critics, and we don't need to be. Just enjoy writing. If it still doesn't come, then it may just be that 'fate' is telling you to stop for a moment and take a breather. Sometimes we just need some time to deal with life. Yea, life is shit sometimes. We can't control it, so why blame ourselves for the effects? Easier said then done, I know. But it is the first little step I would recommend.

Tip #2: Inspiration, inspiration, inspiration!
Do not write a word. Yes, you read correctly. This step is purely about getting your mind ticking with creativity. Some of you may have noticed me flooding my little cottage with images and songs. This is me doing just that. I ignore the fact that I want to write and focus on ideas that get me in the mood and fired up.

Stuck on a particular story? Google image search what your character might look like, what interaction they might be doing, the setting of where they are at the present. Stuck on an idea? Google image search anything! I am telling you that little search is a creative life saver. Make yourself a little space and make it your own, fill it with your inspiration.

Tip #3: Time
Set time to write once a day. It doesn't have to be long at first, 5 minutes if that is what you feel comfortable with. But make it the same time everyday. This will get your mind to focus during that time, and soon the words will spill onto the page. It is a matter of creating a writing habit.

Tip #4: Find a friend
Talk to a friend, confide in them of your struggle to write. You may be surprised that they will help you work out why it is you are struggling. I did this, and I am thankful for his help and gentle push to keep going. If you can't trust anyone, you can always vent here for this 'lesson'.

Tip #5: Do not give up!
That is the worse thing you can do...trust me. As a wise friend once told me; 'there is no worse writer then one who does not write'. So do not give up on yourself. The words are within you. Give yourself time to heal from what is causing your struggle, and gently push when you feel brave enough to do so.

Tip #6: Writing exercises
There are lots that you can try. Here are just a few. Feel free to give them a go below. Remember - leave your criticism at the door, it isn't needed for this. Simply write what comes.

Moonwriting: Otherwise known as a stream of consciousness. This basically involves writing whatever comes out. Disregard spelling, grammar, proper edicit...just write. Even if it is the words 'my god, I can't think of anything. What a stupid exercise. What is for dinner? Hmmmm...chicken sounds good. Woops! Forgot the laundry...". Doesn't matter...just let it flow.

Muse Letter: Write to your muse. Seems simple enough and it is. Write your muse a letter and tell it what you want of it. Demand it's obedience. Scald it for running away. Do what you like. Just get that frustration on paper and out of your system. You might be surprised what you find.

Random words: Select any number of words at random and write the first thing that comes to mind. Keep writing until there is nothing left. I started out with 3, and even asked a friend to pick the words. That is all the writing I did for a few weeks, every so often increasing the number of random words when I felt more confident. You can even find websites that will pick words for you. Top get you started, here are a few for you to work on:

1. Uncertainty
2. Leaves
3. Forgiveness
4. Delicate
5. Anger
6. Lord
7. Teacher
8. Bedsheet
9. Flood

Ok...I will leave the writing exercises here. If you want more, just let me know and I can put them up. These ones should be enough to get started.

As always, happy writing!

Welcome back my friend it is so good to see this thread re-emerge again.

I have a writers block of sorts my muse keeps playing hide and seek.

It is hard to remain creative when the atmosphere on Lit is often so negative, staying out of the lounge threads has helped me a whole lot... I simply adore the ignore button it has become a best friend of sorts!

I continue to press forward in my writing endeavors albeit slowly.

I love the ideas you have offered they are excellent ones. I also find having a space to place songs, pictures, poems etc really helps keep me on track.

Good honest friends who believe in me work wonders too and I thank you for that Shy.

As for constructive critique on my writing, I welcome that from you any time you choose to offer it.

I am excited to see what you have in store for us here, thank you.

P.S. Is it to late to post for Exercise 4 ??

 

[ShyMystica]

*gives her friend a warm hug and a gleaming smile*

It seems you may be the only one happy to see this thread back.
*laughs gently to herself with a small shrug*
We shall see how it goes.

Of course, by all means, post a previous exercise. I would be delighted if you found some inspiration to beat your muse here.

 

[Last_Rider]

I'm quite glad to see this one back too Mystica, thanks for the writers block advice, my muse is playing nice right now but keeping up to date on methods for her inevitable bitchy moods is good. Also very very glad to see you back.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

I hope I'm not intruding in your thread by posting here, but I appreciate this advice too. Lately I've been feeling sort of burnt out, and its affecting my writing, I'm sure. The burn out is from real world stresses, not so much from Lit or writing, per se. But it's good to keep the advice above in mind. I know I'll need it someday. We all do eventually.

Would you mind if I posted a link here on commonly mixed up words, that I found useful? I doubt most of the members of this part of Lit need the help, but some might find it humorous and useful I hope.

10 Words You need to Stop Misspelling


If you would rather I didn't post this here, I'll remove it. Just let me know.

 

[ShyMystica]

*gives Rider a rather shy hug with a soft smile*
Thank you for the lovely welcome back. It is good to see your Muse is tamed for the moment.

*turns towards Annisthyrienne, a shy bow of the head in greeting with a soft smile*
Annisthyrienne, welcome. It is nice to meet you. You are not intruding by any means. I do hope that you find a way to rejuvenate yourself. I know the feeling of being 'burnt out'. If you ever need to talk, just PM me.

As for your link *bursts into soft giggles* I absolutely love it! Thank you for posting it up. I know when I am half asleep I tend to do the 'your and you're' thing. Editing gets that most of the time...it is a little habit of the fingers. I swear they have a mind of their own.
*saves the link to giggle at later.*

 

[Veroe]

I love tip #2, Shy. Searching for similar images to what you wish to write on is very helpful and gets the creative juices going with little effort or not as much or as dangerous as slipping words past that overly-critical self-editor within our heads proclaiming how much we suck with each minute of us trying to type something down for it.

I find the activity builds momentum not even that asshole self-editor can withstand.

Muse Letter exercise

Dear Muse,
Focus....foooooooooooooooooocus...that'a girl.

I know you have had it easy lately, I have let you hide from me for far too long. Now, I gently urge you to get back to work. We have ideas to run with, too many in fact. I can see you are overwhelmed by it all. Just focus and find the words...

Otherwise I may have to enforce some stricter methods on you...and we both know I don't want to do that.

- XOXO Me

 

[yeishia]

I found the 10 misspelled words very amusing Thyri.

Thank goodness for the spell check as most of my friends know my typing is abysmal and my spelling erratic at best; combined with the fact my brain is always way ahead of my fingers make for some interesting spelling mistakes *blushes* (Especially in IM communications..imagine lol.)

Now I shall let you into a little secret about contractions.

Some have complemented me on my writing style in which they noted that I never use contractions.

"Why?" they ask is it part of your signature style of writing ?"

*giggles*

Growing up after I lost my parents I lived with an aunt for a while who did not allow the used of slang (I am from Geordie land) she insisted that we all speak what she called correct English, no slang, no swearing, no colloquialisms and no contractions.

As I grew up, by habit I left them from my writing and to be honest later on I found it much easier spelling wise to do so. *grins*

It is simply a part of who I am now and so I suppose it has indeed finally become a style thing.

So there you have it!

 

[Annisthyrienne]

So you think English is easy???


1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

2) The farm was used to produce produce .

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

4) We must polish the Polish furniture.

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present

8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row ...

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2

meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ?

 

[Annisthyrienne]

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this .

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'

It's easy to understand UP,meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ?

We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP,you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP...

When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.

When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........it is time to shut UP!

Oh . . . one more thing:

What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? UP

Writing Every Day

To most writers this may seem like an easy task. But to beginners, those in blocks, or others who simply do not have time; it can be a rather daunting and anxious task.

Fear not!

There is a very valid reason why this dedication is worth pushing through. Simply, it develops a routine. And for writing this is important. Especially when words are hard to find, or frustration creeps in, or the muse simply vanishes completely. Writing everyday enables your voice to become clearer as words and inspiration come more freely. You find confidence the longer you do it. And after a while your mind does fall into the habit of writing at certain times of the day. For me, come 9pm my mind automatically ticks into 'writing mode'.

Now, knowing that a routine for writing daily is good for you, it doesn't make it easy to complete. Life happens and creativity doesn't flow consistently. But even a few words in a journal or blog is enough to keep the routine flowing.

I believe it was Steven King who suggested to fiction writers to aim for 1000 words a day, 6 days a week. Now, I won't ask anyone for this goal. Why? Because I believe putting numbers on such a task makes it even more overwhelming. So instead I have come up with the following exercise.

A picture day...

1. Dedicate a predetermined amount of time to write. During this time no other activity will take place, only writing. It can be as short as 5 minutes, or as long as an hour if your stamina holds. But pick the time of day and amount of time so that you can maintain this for at least a week.

2. Find a picture that inspires you.

3. Write. Write until the words stop. It can be a handful of creative words or a whole scene. It is up to you.

4. Do not edit! *hears the gasps of horror* I know, such a huge thing to deal with. But I don't want this exercise to be about quality. I want it simply to focus upon writing the words that come to mind as they hit you. Reaction writing.

5. Repeat the following day at the same time with a new picture.

As always, I will put up a picture every day for a week. If you don't like it, find another one. If you wish to post your pieces here, please feel free. Be proud of what you come up with. All I ask is that you please post if you want your work to be commented on or not. That way it is clear to all. Or if you simply want to do this on your own in private, I encourage that too.

For more tips see this website. It had some great little ideas if you wish to take this further.

Good luck guys! Don't get discouraged, just pick up the pen and try. Then try again tomorrow.

Happy writing.

~ Shy
