Keep us up to date on how she goes.

Thanks for your interest.

Sadly - I am beginning to think my mum is dealing with some mental health issues as she mainly tells me, by email, stories of paranoia - victimization - mostly by her neighbors - but her claims lack credibility. For example - she started claiming that 50 cars follow her when she goes shopping - she has now upped that figure to 100. The police have accused her of paranoia and thankfully sent a mental health expert to her and I am hoping she will now get some help.
This is tragic - I've not seen her for 10+ years - she is 73. I always assume people will stay the same including myself. How wrong.

very rare that I see such beauty in a woman - if I saw this girl walking down the street I think I would probably faint.

I agree that you need to spend time learning to write before trying to get a book published, or self-publishing, but I admire your mum for getting her idea down on paper at all. Having done that, she has a storyline and characters she's passionate about, she just needs to learn how to write it up properly. If she's gone quiet, maybe the hard work ahead is too much... or maybe she just needs to take a step back for a while

Quite - in fact I admire anyone that can start and more importantly finish a novel - something I have tried many times but always run out of steam.

Great, that's good news. It's easier to take criticism from a stranger than a relative and it gets you off the hook. Win-win. And you never know, she might just whip the book into shape.

I'm actually in a similar situation at present with a family member who's given me a totally unreadable book to edit. I think I'll suggest they do the same thing your mother has done. Thank you for the idea

Her book seems to have stalled since it came back from the proof reader. I haven't seen the proof reader's comments.

My advice to anyone, not just my mum, if they have an idea for a book - is first learn about the craft of writing - spend 1 year doing that and experiment with short stories etc - get feedback and maybe join creative writing class. Then, and only then - read some books on how to tackle a novel. Make more notes - chew over etc. next start to think about your idea for a novel. You may realise it's not such a good idea after all - it may be nothing more than a short story's worth - which really is what I think my mum's idea is.

I hope she forgets this project and moves on with her life.

The latest - she has had it proof read with critical comments - a service she paid for.

and is now busy revising

she wouldn't revise when I advised her to do so previously

Amazon will allow her to publish it for free, and she will get 70% of every book sold. It's not vanity publishing - they don't charge you. All she needs is cover art.

Of course, marketing the book so anyone other than her friends buys it is the hard part.

I have suggested she do it as an ebook and self publish but she wants to send it around various publishers.

she will have to learn the hard way.

I know a late reply but has your mum considered sending her story to one of those real life magazines? Maybe as a way to promote her book. I read real life magazines when I'm bored and I notice a few people get their story (shorten version) published and then their book is promoted.

That's not a bad idea.

In fact I was thinking that what happened to her is not really enough to warrant a novel - unless she is really accomplished.

The problem is, from the story she had told me and what I have read - I am not 100% convinced her claims are true - and this comes across in the book.

The book is about a date drug and . I have read accounts in magazines etc and found those fully believable,convincing etc - but somehow my mum's account does not add up - and if she goes to a women's mag with her story - they will reject it for certain.

It's a tough one for me because I have to be her son and support my belief in what she tells me. And I did, when she first gave me this news - but I am less keen on helping her turn this into an enterprise. She went to the police 2 months after the events but they said there's no evidence.

You guys are all sex world champions.

I dont mess about when it comes to sex - I go straight for the kill - if the girl is sexy 1 minute tops.

But what a 1 minute.

I could keep going for longer using various strategies - but what's the point - I get the best bang for my buck with a fast furious fuck.

when i first signed up for lush, i seemed to be on a roll! every few days i'd come out with a new story. but for some reason, after a while it seemed like my stories were getting worse! i dont know why, and maybe its just me, but do youi guys think that my stories are good enough to keep writing?

You get a similar number of comments per story to me - between 3 and 6. Making me think you are worth checking out.

I never much like the stories that pull in 30-40 comments of wild praise. Probably because I dont like the really hard stuff and this seems to be what is most popular on Lush.

But write when you feel the inspiration.

I have been using gillette multi blade shavers for the last 30 years - Mach 3 or Mach 4 - never had any complaints.

then my wife decided to spend big money on a badger shaving brush and old style safety blade razer - the type my dad used to use.

Well there are people raving about these old style razers and I thought it was quite cool for a time - but sad to say I am fed up with the time it takes and scraping away trying to get the stubble off, having to apply a 2nd or third set of lather and then finding I have missed a bit.

Now I have gone back, in secret, to my old razer and it is better - no question about it.

so how do you shave?

You're jumping to conclusions, here . . . I tried to explain that you misunderstood my intent and you've gone and done it again.

Isn't it irritating when this happens - when people read all sorts of nonsense into your posts and seem to miss entirely your true point.

Fortunately, Lush forum members are mostly a sharp crowd so it rarely happens.

Quote by Metilda

Sorry - I didn't mean 'true stories are against the rules'.

The way she wrote it ("it seems my being taken advantage of at a very young age is a very popular fantasy") sounds like she didn't want people to find it sexually appealing. That's why I asked her if she published it *here*. (I was hoping she'd respond with an explanation of what she really meant).

Aside that . . . this is an Erotica site . . . People come here to share erotic fantasies so people will read all the works here with the impression that the author is sharing a story meant to sexually excite the reader.

If she did publish that work here, and she didn't want people to find it sexually exciting, she should consider deleting it.

It's quite certain she did want the story to titillate readers - as she says in the story she later felt horny about certain aspects of the experience. Also I dont think she would have published it here if it was just a cathartic retelling of a traumatic event.

having said that - it is an example of real life abuse and clearly from the comments some readers found it shocking

Just to prove my point, read a post on this thread https://forum.lushstories.com/yaf_postst58954p6_11-NEW-Categories-Added.aspx.

Go to page 6 and read a post by a young London girl by the name of browncoffee. You will see her use the word "fam" on several occasions.

So I'm RIGHT!

ah - black people street jargon

You're comparing Eastenders to real life? Eastenders is BULLSHIT. It's an insult that people watch that shit and believe that's what London is really like.

You've not heard people say "fam" because you're not streetwise like I am. You need to get out more, hang with some of the local kids. I can assure you, you'll here the word "fam" all day every day.

no I dont hang out with street hoods and crack heads in London - I bow to your superior experience.

I wrote a story called Alternative Therapy - male client and female psychologist - not quite a doc patient scenario but nearly.

I also embedded a female doc and male patient roleplay in my last story Ella about a mature couple about to fuck for the first time. "That's quite a swelling you have there Mr X, I can see you need urgent treatment." etc etc

I think a digital rectal exam male patient female doctor would be a good one.

Quote by BigBlackBob

"Fam" is a term used a lot in the London area. I believe it's a term you use for a person who is close to you.

For example, in America they might say, "Yo, what's up, homie?".

Whereas the London equivalent would be, "What's guanin, fam?".

I might be wrong, but I think that''s correct.

I've no idea where you got this information.

I have lived in London and also watched Eastenders and various other films depicting London life in various social settings etc for 40 years.

I have never heard "fam" used this way ever and indeed never heard the term at all until this forum.

I cant believe how good looking the women are on this site - amazing. It was only recently I realised that most of the avatars are of the actual site member. And the hotter they are - the dirtier the sex they write - truly shocking language etc - real xxx rated. Guys are tame by comparison.

So anyway - I have paid out for sex about 15 times in my life - and dont regret any - even if I didnt get off that well - I always enjoyed meeting the girls as they were all very nice and one or two were truly mind blowing. the first few girls I saw nothing much happened with me - but you need the right one that presses the hot buttons - and after 3 or 4 flat punts I found my girl, hottest body I've ever seen - ah that's worth paying for - her ass turned me on so much when she was on all fours I felt myself cumming every time I tried to penetrate her - in the end I had to turn her round and fuck her mish.

But I digress - would I fuck for money? No, because I'm a quick cummer and would have to refund every time. That's ok when you pay - but not when you get paid to lay.

Quote by Dancewithme
So then, may we say writing is a passion. Moreover, in a way, it is not us who writes the story, but the story writes itself, and we are just its medium. Yes, this sounds counter-intuitive but it is the current belief, and was the past believe, of many well known writers. It is, as I said originally, a passion.
I have been writing and researching, researching and writing, a history book about Manchuria for over 40 years. What is making me have to publish soon? My age. If I don't publish now, it may not be published at all. What a waste of a life! MINE! It, my son said, is "becoming my Great White."

In his song, "I Shall Be Released" Dylan sings, "when I paint my masterpiece." Writing can take us over and take over our lives if what you are that passionate about is that potent an aphrodisiac to you. Dylan finishes, "I see my life comes shining, from the West down to the East. Any day now. Any day now. I shall be released."

I know a man of 80 who is still working on his first novel.

My curse is not obsession. It's perfectionism (okay, okay... that is an obsession). I write. I delete. I rewrite. Over and over, ad absurdum! I have over a dozen stories in the works at any one time. One I have been working on for over 7 years. There have been only two or three stories I have started and completed within the span of a few days. Not because I was passionately obsessed with getting them finished, but because they almost literally wrote themselves. I LOVE when that happens!

sounds a bit like me.

I just deleted 500 words on this story and re-wrote

Quote by Master_Jonathan
It happens to me all the time. I think if a story doesn't consume every waking (and most sleeping) moments of your day, you aren't truly a writer! I can't tell you how many sleepless nights I've had, rolling a story around in my head, "writing" it as I thought about it and having to go over it and over it until I could get a chance to write it down. I have often thought about getting a tape recorder to "dictate" to myself but then I'd be committed for walking around talking to myself!

If you can limit the amount of time you devote to writing something, or set hours for when you do it - it's work. If it makes you stay up at night or try to squeeze every possible second, risk getting caught "loafing off" at work, and interrupt mealtimes, it's a hobby. And if you forego eating, miss work and give up sex to do it - you are obsessed! LOL!

what makes it harder is this is a secret passion.

Congratulations, you're officially an author

I've had this happen . . . and the result was me becoming a full time erotica author. I never regretted the new focus in my life.

an author publishes - and I don't count Lush. But I understand what you mean.

I think it has taken me 10 years of writing on here to really find what it is I want to write about and how I want to write it - now that I've found it - we shall see.

I am writing a new story entitled: The Priest, the Schoolgirl and the Taxi driver.

I have very little time to write (1 hour per day) strictly speaking and this story is threatening to ruin my business, which I need to give adequate time. It just wont let me go - I think about it all the time. It has to be an will be my best ever story. The girl is legal age by the way.

But anyway I could spend 24 hours non stop on this tale it is so hot.

Please tell me I'm not alone that this obsession is not just mine and you guys have had the same passion for a horny tale.

I write more than I read. I am picky, so I write the smut I want to see in the world.

That more or less equals my position.

I probably don't read much smut because I find nearly all of it not to my taste - so in a way I'm writing for myself and as a bonus, some, not many, like my writing too.

Quote by BethanyFrasier
My grandmother wrote a book about her childhood and my dad had it vanity published. No one bought it, but it's been disseminated throughout the family. It's actually quite fascinating. I've been using incidents described from her life for a story I'm writing about life in the Great Depression. The first chapter is already on the blue site. I've learned more about writing here and on StoriesSpace than I did in school! Too bad your mom won't take advantage of sites like this to improve her writing.

That's the kind of thing that would interest me too. People who lived 50-60 years ago have some great stuff to tell about how life was in those days.

My mum has this absurd belief that you are born with a set of talents ready to go so a creative writing advice site would not be of interest to her.

Quote by BethanyFrasier
Remind your mom that she has accomplished this on her own, without any outside help, and she should see it through to completion on her own. At some point, she will face rejection, so don't give her any excuses to blame anyone but herself. If she can write a book with no writing talent, she can also select a graphic design for the cover without help. Actually, if she submits it to a publisher and it is accepted, they will select cover graphics.

If she's willing to accept help of any kind, she should also accept editorial advice first and foremost. She won't get anywhere with a publisher if her book is filled with technical and compositional errors. If she has already spurned your advice to seek guidance in creative writing, she's not really serious about getting her book published. Let her fail on her own if she thinks her book is good enough as written.

I returned it to her with some comments on the story itself rather than the writing quality etc, pointed out it would need thorough proof reading, proper formatting of speech etc and implied that's not something I would have time to help her with. She now tells me she has someone to proof read and type up. I gave her an idea for the cover, she's an amatuer artist, and she had now done her own cover. I also sent her a link to elite publishing academy where they can do 100 paperbacks and kindle isbn etc for 1000 GBP - she did not reply to that.

The problem is - she had a traumatic experience 2 years ago and thinks it somehow makes sense to turn this into a book and she does want to make money out of it. I dont want to discourage her - a lot of what gets published is in my view very poor, but it is obviously professionally done. My mum's story could be a good book - but she is no writer from what I have read.

Just wondering about this - as I love to write erotic fiction - and I read a lot of fiction - but I dont read erotic fiction more or less at all. I have read maybe half a dozen stories on Lush in the last 10 years.

Am I alone as a writer in this genre?
