The Dirty Stuff

Recently, I was challenged by a friend. She knows I'm a writer of funny stuff, and when I talked about writing in other genres, she expressed doubt at the concept of me writing anything romantic, erotic, or even vaguely bodice-rippery.

Well, not really doubt. It was more like a great belly-laugh that bellowed forth, and hung in the air for days.

Anyway, I've written some samples as an experiment. Fair warning, this is erotic lit, or at least I hope it is. If you're not interested in that kind of stuff, don't click on the link and read it. I'm purposefully not printing it here on this part of the blog so I don't offend anybody any more than I normally do.

Here is one of the grand experiments. All comments are especially welcome on this one. Please let me know if I can tell her to stop laughing yet. Gracias.

Well, I've certainly read worse.

Franky, I think a credible sex scene is one of the hard^H^H^H^H most difficult things to write in all of literature, and as I said, you didn't shit the bed. But the phrase "her passion" appeared a few too many times in a very small space, and apparently meant a few different things, early on... And for me there were also a few eye-rolling moments of the "she only existed because he was rogering her" variety that made me uncomfortable.

But I would surely not say that you are incapable of writing anything other than sports and humor.

Uhmmm my only question is.. where can I find MY Nick? I wouldn't mind being awakened each morning like that! Whew! Who would?!

I understood where you were going with the whole "she didn't exist before Nick". She just didn't realize what she needed before him. He awakened her in ways much more profound than the physical act he's performing that morning. It made me a bit wistful, to be honest.

Anyway, I think it was incredibly hot and plan to send the link to a friend of mine. I think you have a future in the erotica world. I, for one, hope to see more of it.

Beeeej, thanks for the review. Always appreciated.

And MHZ, thanks for giving me a woman's perspective on the story, that's what I was hoping for. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and feel free to send it around. And keep looking, I'm sure you'll find your Nick soon.
