Erotica – and other arousing themes

My graphic is to celebrate beautiful ladies and also the launch of Erotica on my menu.  I could have used a naked man, but I don’t have any drawings of naked men in my portfolio … at the moment.  I might to appease the ladies.

I’m not totally naked … I’m wearing a smile …

The NaNoWriMo in November was a time consuming but worthwhile exercise which I thoroughly enjoyed but it did take over the whole of November.  I received a Kindle Keyboard 3G for my birthday in November but was unable to use it until December because I was concentrating my efforts on the NaNoWriMo.  I downloaded a handful of books and as December got underway I decided I’d spend more time reading than writing.

I’ve read ‘Robinson Crusoe’ by Daniel Defoe for the first time since I was about 14.  It was written in the old style but I still enjoyed the tale.  The second book I chose to read was one I’d heard about over the years but never actually read until now, ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ by D.H. Lawrence.  This story is mentioned in so many writing reference books that it was a must for me.  The story appealed especially since I wanted to introduce an Erotica section to my menu.

It will be erotica as opposed to literary pornography, which being explicitly sexual in nature is quite a different type of writing.  I have two stories downloaded to get started so the sub-menu doesn’t look too bare ….  The first story is ‘Best Foot Forward’ which takes the reader on a train journey.  My second offering is ‘Windows of Opportunity’ and there is a strong hint in both ‘windows’ and ‘opportunity’.

If you do happen by and you’re over 18 please feel free to not only read my attempts at erotica, but also to leave me a comment.  If I don’t have any idea how I’m doing I’ll just have to go on feeling my way with the subject.

Love Writing…

Having only received my copy of ‘Love WRITING’ in the post this week I’ve only been able to read small sections.  Sue Moorcroft has put together a book that I personally think is a must for all who want to make a serious attempt at writing romance, passion or erotica.  So far I’m not only impressed by the amount of information, but by the number of others offering their views and advice. 

I fully intend to write a short review on this superb book once I’ve been able to savour all of it.  For now, thank you Sue for producing it in the first place.  I have a feeling my ‘love’ writing is going to benefit immensely from this handbook on how it’s done.  The writing about it that is…
