One thing that kept me from writing - not just erotica, but most other writing that I now do - is that fear that <I>I'm not good enough, will never be good enough, those writers are gods and I could never aspire... </I><BR/><BR/>you get the drift <BR/><BR/>What I'm loving about writing erotica is that it's making me think about my writing differently. It's not quite as personal as my poetry, but it's more personal than essays or whatever. I have fun writing it. <BR/><BR/>Craig, I do believe we're all still learning till the day we die - how boring to "know it all" - ack! That would make me cuss.

I emailed the author to express such and mentioned that it also made me realize how much of an amateur I was. She wrote back with something like, "There are no amateurs, only more or less pages each of us has written."<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling she expressed it more eloquently. :) But I remember that it struck me, and I remember that I appreciated it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987049796144967029.post-44796834328705659452009-02-09T15:02:00.000-05:002009-02-09T15:02:00.000-05:00I admit that when I first peeked in at some of the...I admit that when I first peeked in at some of the blogs and saw these tremendously long lists of publication credits I was going "oh oh, maybe I should slave away in silence for a few decades first." But as I read I realized that some are fairly new and the ones that aren't don't seem to be horribly jaded (at least the ones I've come across). <BR/><BR/>thanks!Erobinticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367086200542648795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987049796144967029.post-44517876628702422322009-02-09T11:49:00.000-05:002009-02-09T11:49:00.000-05:00An ongoing discussion for newbie/virgin erotica wr...An ongoing discussion for newbie/virgin erotica writers is a great idea!
