I guess I would like to see a story idea/development forum. Sometimes it helps to kick an idea around before writing it.

Any advice on how I can get these 2 very important parts of who I am to settle down & play nice?
I love what I write and it calms me down when I'm upset but a part of me keeps telling me it's a sin & I'm going to hell.
It's all very depressing because I don't want to stop & I don't want to go to hell.
Can't you just ask for forgiveness later when you're all done writing erotica?
In all seriousness, the way I read the Bible's take on hell, it isn't like what we say it is. Yes, the "fires of Gehennim" or whatever are "unquenchable," but that doesn't mean that the soul will burn forever or be tortured forever. Just like if you were to jump into a volcano, you wouldn't burn alive forever; you would die quickly.
Furthermore, many religions that believe in heaven also don't believe in hell. Jews, for example, do not, and nor do Jehovah's Witnesses. Mormons believe only the worst of the worst go to hell.
So if I were you, I wouldn't worry about it, but I'm an agnostic...nominally Catholic but not in agreement with much of anything they preach. A CINO if you will.

When I first started writing, I wrote mostly lesbian stories, and while I doubt I have the female POV down, I handled it by looking through my female characters' eyes in a different way. Often I had a character who was in a straight relationship, hiding her bisexual side, viewing her boyfriend as too traditional. Or I would explore a relationship between two female characters that begins in another way, like two best friends, a teacher and student, two cellmates, etc. That way, even if I don't quite have the female POV down, I can at least compensate for it by having the relationship angle.
