Formats For Erotic Writing

www.sadiesins.com

This post is about some formats I’ve found myself writing when it comes to erotica and a quick breakdown of each one. Some of these names probably are used out there, others I’ve made up just to label the type of story best I can. I don’t know a lot of lingo, not really my thing, but I love to make shit up.

When you come up with an idea for a story it might be good to stop and take a look at just how you want to present that idea. Knowing your options and where you find yourself excelling can help you get more work out faster, or at least steadily, and help you know how to approach the market when it comes times to sell your fiction.

Starting long to short…

8 Basic Elements For A Sexy Story

How To Write A Sexy Story

Before I go into a run down of how to write a sexy story, and I do mean a whole story all wonderfully steamy, I want to give you an example of what I’m talking about—All without any sex occurring.

Nope, nothing up my sleeve here. Utilizing the right elements, you can get things flowing before anything nasty even happens. It’s actually something I feel is completely ignored in most set ups. And isn’t that what a set up is all about, really? Setting you up for the sex? Unfortunately, that doesn’t usually seem to be the case. How many set ups have you read that feel like you’re reading the most boring, mundane, unemotional, random series of events, and then the characters suddenly have sex? Blah. Believe me, you can do better.

Welcome to the art of mental foreplay.

6 Easy Ways To Ruin A Sex Scene And How To Fix It

How To Not Write A Sex Scene

This is less how to write a sex scene and more how to fix that sex scene you just wrote. The tips here will help you write your next one though. I will be posting specific tips in the future to give you everything you need… Just broken up a bit because I’m actually doing a lot of writing of said sex scenes, not just writing about how to write them. Check out my Books, or my free m/m erotica story Awakening if you want to see some of my writing to give you an idea of my approach.

It is amazingly easy to ruin a sex scene. It’s so easy, I’m not surprised that the more popular scenes of these kind are written without a lot of character’s emotional impact. If your characters get away from you in these moments, they can ruin the scene for you, bringing in drama, ridiculous humor, or just start talking about boring, everyday things that just make a reader go ‘what the fuck?’

Write Your Erotica Out, An Intro

Posted on March 3, 2016 by Sadie Sins

An Intro To Writing Erotica

www.sadiesins.com

Writing erotica doesn’t have to be stressful. Actually, if you’re not having fun, I’m pretty sure you’re not doing it right. Hey there, this is Sadie Sins, writer, artist, and all around rabid smut enjoyer here to teach you how to improve your erotic stories. Whether it’s to help you make a dime selling your work or just to get you breaking through your hangups so you can get to thinking about writing a more intense, steamy, sexy story, I’ve got tips and in depth information to help you along. This will not just be about those sex scenes (although they are my favorite.) I’ll be going into writing in general, plots, summaries, maybe even cover design if I feel so compelled at some point. Suggestions are always welcome if you’re curious about anything.

I started writing erotica when I became disappointed with the quality of erotic reading material out there and found myself with a whole lot of free time. I was pleased that there were more fantasy based options, but once cracking them open, I found the plots interesting but lacking tension and the sex just, well, boring. Or the sex was intense but the plot didn’t exists. It was really easy for me as an avid reader to see where things were going wrong, the challenge coming later as a new writer to find ways to correct them. Hence this blog. I want to share what I’ve learned, and I have a feeling there are plenty of writers, either new to the game, or struggling for a while, that can find these tips helpful.

This blog is actually a two month long time coming. I wanted to make this back in January but found out the hard way how buying a domain with a company that you don’t want to host with (in my case godaddy) is a damn ass hassle requiring a 60 day wait to transfer a domain name. I am not a web genius by any means, but I do learn my lessons when they smack me off the head enough. Some of this stuff may already be dated if only because stories I reference two months back have been written and published already—Time flies.
