Seven Erotic Writing Tips
-
Begin by
writing about what you know. This will act like a starting
off point and new ideas will come once you get a few paragraphs
finished.
-
Write about what
you like: what he/she says, what he/she does that you like
or would like.
-
Write about what
you dream, envision, and or fantasy about. Again, this
will act like a starting off point and allow you to begin
writing an erotic story, slowly the characters will take shape.
-
Write with
details to create an environment the reader can put him or
herself in, whether it is the color of the shirt she wore or how
she smelled.
-
Write with your
five senses: what you heard, smelled, saw, felt, and even
how she or he tasted.
-
Have fun while
writing, make the story come to life with dialogue and
conversations.
-
Don't try to
impress, rather let the writing or story stand for itself
Extract from Interview with Louise Cusack, Erotica Writer
I do get strange impulses, though, and
writing is good for me because I've got a creative outlet for all
the things that come into my head. I don't have to upset my life
by doing them. I make up these men and have mad passionate affairs
as the character, and at the end of the day turn the computer off
and have a cold shower. It makes me a safer person to be around.
A lot of erotic writers write romance as
well. A new word has been coined: 'romantica'. The erotic short
stories are a titillating thing. You're trying to create a
physical emotion. When people read Stephen King their heart
pounds, or they read Danielle Steele and they're crying. It's OK
to make people scared and make people cry -- why isn't it OK to
make people aroused?
I do like writing erotic sex. If I finish
writing a sex scene and I don't feel all hot and bothered, then I
didn't do it right. (That doesn't happen often!)
