Most Commanly Made Erotica Mistakes

Posted By ehepner on Saturday, June 16, 2012 - 12:00am EST

1) Using words that aren't sexy. My favorite examples: moist, juicy, plowed, etc. Or referring to any kind of orgasm as ripping, pulling, or slipping through flesh. I was guilty of this in a lot of my beginning stories and now it's on the Watch-Out Edits list.

2) Keeping an intense focus on the action throughout the scene using all five senses. One of my favorite things to do is to use taste in a scene as much as I can. Don't recall where I read that writer's barely utilize this sense, but the notion stuck with me. It's a fun one to toy with.

The Obligatory 50 Shades Post

Posted By ehepner on Thursday, June 14, 2012 - 12:00am EST

It's everywhere. It's getting kind of annoying. I've yet to read it because I don't want to be influenced by anyone's opinion when I pick it up ( which sounds horribly prissy, I know). And I'm at least happy that it's opened up the sexual world view of a lot of people who wouldn't have given a book about BDSM a second glance. Whether or not they continue to read the genre is on them. But I hope 50 Shades is a good enough book to get the readers hooked on what others have to write about in that same vein.

Viva Las Vegas

Posted By ehepner on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 12:00am EST

If you're reading this right now I'm probably sucking on some ridiculously alcoholic drink, writer-ing away on my netbook in the sun and humidity of Las Vegas. I don't have much planned for this trip. I'm hoping to catch a few Cirque shows and there will most definitely be a trip to In-And-Out Burger in my future. A whole blissful nine days of vacation. Catch you when I come back, inspired, and ready to rock!

Experimenting with Characterization

Posted By ehepner on Monday, June 11, 2012 - 12:00am EST

A good friend of mine gave me a super helpful tip the other day. When you're assembling character's for a book or short story, write down the top foremost things about their personality on a notepad. That way you have something to consult when you're looking for the right physical gesture for your hero or heroine when they're in a bind. It's a gesture cheat-sheet, if you will.
