Encouraging. When I graduate to writing non-smut, I won't have to abandon my roots :-)

Didn't know about Westlake. I see he also wrote what became "Payback". That movie was one hell of a ride. I'll have to check out his novels.

Thanks. Good points in your article. There are readers looking for good stories, some who aren't pedantic.

I rushed out my most recent Literotica story and, besides many typos, missed a big wet turd of Notes to Self left in the text. Many readers forgave the errors & gave it a high rating anyway.

Well, thanks! I don't particularly want to write smut, but 'write what you know' ... and I know smut :-)

Where is your blog piece? Didn't see it on your feed.

My most popular Halloween story (so far) 😊👻💔🖋️

#EroticFiction #SpicyReads #EroticRomance #ShamelessSelfPromo

A depressed man sits at a table, head resting on his hand while behind him the ghostly form of a women tries to console him. Under the title are words from a reader's comments: "Sweet, erotic, sad, and happy... so many feels. Excellent job."

I dictate them into my phone. Faster, but often just as unintelligible 😁

Kind of you. As you can probably tell from the title, it's not an entirely serious story. I'm sure you could do much better.

A Frankenstein story from last year's @literotica.com Halloween contest:

Genius scientist Dr. Fran Annstein disappears. Her assistant discovers a mysterious man (with blond hair and a tan) living in her abandoned mansion

Saw this version as a kid. The scenes with the reanimated arm haunted me for years.

The @literotica.com Halloween story contest is approaching! I'll either write about a haunted brothel or haunted underwear👻

My very first Halloween story had 3 friends summon a demon by accident. "Damn Dumb Demon" was unpolished but kinda fun.

Writers bingo. Center space is a free crying space. The rest of the squares are filled with funny realities of writer life, like writing the opening chapter 43 times

Subverting expectations is risky!

Sometimes I'll (gasp) write a story without a blowjob scene. I'm sure it's cost me followers 😶

But I'll never write a story with no blowjobs AND has two women who aren't bisexual. That would be madness 😄

Submitted a story for Lit's summer contest full of errors. Worse, I left a huge "Note to Self" placeholder in the text in ALL CAPS 😬

Story still got a 4.8 and 46 favs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@literotica.com readers can be forgiving sometimes.

(I've now submitted a meticulously proofread revision)
