Great one! It's like you're reaching into my brain. Snow White and her Dwarves was the starting point of the idea for my Chalet Series (no Snow White or dwarves to be seen anywhere, but the dwarves shifted into the roles the show's participants get to play out).
Wait, what?! Apparently "College Wrestler Secrets" came first for gay erotica in the @alexasommers.bsky.social Golden Pigtails Awards π€© I am surprised!
If you voted for me, thank you! π₯°
The sale on the ebook is still running btw... just $2.99

Seriously?! I wasn't expecting this at all. *glances around at all the great winners and pinches herself*
Thanks for the nomination, votes and Alexa for creating this!
I think February is a time where it can be expected. I'd have to deep dive again into some groups that discuss this. But hang in there β¦ Some also schedule their releases accordingly and use the down time to work on editing etc.
Beautiful how we're all different isn't it?
Notes only work for general ideas for me. With scenes, I need that little bit of extra time to let it flow onto the page, or it just feels stale when I go back to it. Hence, why I keep the idea alive by exploring it until I can write it. It's funny how these things have a life of their own.
Hmm β¦ don't aim for perfection, but rather unleash the individuality you have to offer. Perfection is but an idea, a direction that should keep us going, a goal that keeps us reaching and exploring.
Just getting stuck in. Time's precious, and those creative ideas when they hit, don't wait around. If I can't write I'll spin the idea and let it play out so I can explore the nooks and crannies for when I can get pen to paper (ok fingers to keyboard).
Can't speak to other genres, but I've found it's an up and down over the years I've been on Amazon with my #erotica. I I'm a small author mind, so depending on how far your reach is, things could be different. And I've heard mention there might be periods in the year that generally see less sales β¦
I'll bring your fantasies to life on the page!

How about I point to my Medium this time around (just not to repeat myself π ). medium.com/@hazport69
@paragonasvaunt.bsky.social , @jkmill.bsky.social , @posychurchgate.bsky.social , @switchingtonb.bsky.social β¦ want to join in?
Delicious! π₯
Thanks for including me! I really should get my act together and post more. Here's hoping I'll know what to say so I can live up to your wonderful introduction!
Yours truly has been nominated in two categories for the golden pigtail awards. Of course I'd love you to vote β¦ but also for you explore to all the amazing writing represented in the many categories.
A big thank you to @alexasommers.bsky.social for holding these.

Oooh, yes. getting that off-script element is the crowning glory!
Agreed. Seeing words are our main "tool" to convey the story, action and feeling β¦ it's finding that balance. Repetition can make it bland. That is if it's not a character losing their mind and stammering and repeating themselves as bliss hits.
#erotica authors: what do you feel is your biggest writing technique to create that sizzling scene? This could be anything from word choice, build-up, rhythm, staging β¦ what works for you and your audience best?
Thanks for creating this space, @dirkhooper.bsky.social!
My latest release is the 5th part in my "Chalet of Desire" Series: "Chalet of Boundaries": A futuristic big-brother style #bdsm show, where we follow a former participant now working behind the scenes.

No, I didn't see it as snappy. I fully agree that somethings are more quantity driven, shallow or for a quick buck. I was more focussing on the grey area between "wow" and "meh" ;)
I wouldn't say "good and bad" but I do sense what works and what doesn't for me. I prefer character development over a quick "they got together and did it" story. But I know others love the later (more or just as much). We're all unique hence why we have the wide array of styles and approaches.
