I briefly listened to a few. They sound very well done.

I used to work for an audio publisher of fiction and nonfiction. I would listen to many stories while traveling for the job.

The publisher did very high quality works, often with celebrity narration and acting. I don't think you can ever underestimate the skills of a good reader. It's often subpar when authors do it themselves.

And also love the groaning, panting, moaning, etc. in your audio. It's the power of imagination. That never gets old!

You can find a lot of quick and easy pointers just by doing an internet search. You can, for example, just type the phrase "How to write a good story."

I am hardly a pro and only put one story on here, but I do research for a living and write a lot. I am much better at technical writing, but trying to develop some fiction skills. Here are some things I did when writing the Lush story:

Find out what literary devices you like. If you want a list, just do an internet search for "List of literary devices." I like devices like character development, juxtaposition, and hyperbole.

Read good and professional stories. Most stories follow time tested templates. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. I read A LOT as a kid and in college. I watch a lot of movies. I got to the point where I said, "I should be able to do that."

Think about themes. Again, you can do an internet search on this. Just type "List of literary themes." The story I wrote on Lush has the two themes of redemption and duality.

Write about things you know. If you're from the UK and never been to the US, then write about the UK. Mark Twain wrote about Mississippi River life because that is where he grew up. This sounds simple, but I missed it when I started writing. It sounds like however, you are writing about what you know.

Just jump in. Start writing and find your style. Do you just like to write and let the words come to you? Or do you like to have the shell of a story from start to finish and develop it? I do both. I started writing and knew where I wanted to go after the first chapter.

Do be afraid to change your story. I had the shell of my story written, but then did not like how it ended. I totally changed the ending.



Okay, I am trying to sound like a pro with one story under my belt, but I really did learn a lot just writing this. It probably took about 40 hours, or the average work week.

Not sure if you are still around. I know you said you want a woman's point of view, but I think you could combine a lot of humor with the erotic. It's sounds unique and a really great idea. There's a lot you could do with it.

Yeah, I notice that people misuse the word "literally" when they want to add emphasis or strength to what they are saying.

Well, I can tell you the worst part. It's when I'm totally spent, and the director says I have to shoot the scene all over again.

I think a lot of positions look interesting and fun on paper, but not always when you do them. Some of them tire your arms. That's okay because it's not bad exercise. Some of them are awkward. Some don't work because of height difference. The tricky ones risk bending your dick.

The one below might be my favorite for riding. You are both comfortable, which means you can go on for a long while. You're close to one another. I like reaching up under the butt and doing a massage. Or reaching under the butt and do lifts and drops. I really like looking down at my wife's thighs and hips in this position. It's just a sexy look and the visual makes me that much harder.


Edit: Okay, the pic won't post (d'oh!), so i just added it to my profile.

I have a couple of them that weigh in at almost 10 lbs.

I do a stretch that really helps my back. You squat down like a catcher. Instead of rising on your toes, you put your feet flat on the floor. If you lose balance, then start by holding the leg of a table. If you lean back, they your back is stretched. If you lean forward, then you will feel it in your lower shins.

I used to lift heavy weights. I really strained my back, especially with a lot of bad lifts. The positions are really horrible.

Now I do smarter exercises, such as running up and down stairs, getting in the water, etc.

Sex really helps my back. If I do it more regularly, then I notice my back is not as tight. Of course, I have to do other things, such as really good stretches.

Mine is actually me. I know it's formal and boring, but I really had no other pictures to post.

My user name is actually my name.

Also, I was looking for a writing site and stumbled on this one. It was sort of a surprise, especially the $500 contest. It looks like that is worth checking out.

I guess this is my intro post. Hey y'all.
