sex sells!
sex sells!
why did you remove those bits out of your book
when sex always sells?
only two scenes…
out of 90K words?
only two scenes?
don’t you know that sex sells
everything else is for the birds!
who wants to read about slow attraction
when it’s instant sex that sells?
who wants to bother with character
when sex always sells?
But I’ll write about character anyway,
and the connections that matter to me
for every word I write
is really for me.
That’s pretty sad. If you want erotica, buy erotica, and stop bitching at authors that have actual stories to tell. I’m with you.
Agree – if I want erotica, i buy erotica. Truth is, I prefer a story and a plot. Sex is a nice addition, but if there isn’t sufficient plot and characters I care about? Nope.
Keep writing.
Thank you. I was beginning to wonder if depth and character were such bad things to put into a story but it’s the only way I write.
Truth is if there is no plot and such, I don’t care HOW good the sex is… it’s just porn. So gimme the plot and character building, along with the great sex!
I LOVED your book just for that simple reason. I’ve gotten to the point where I skim the sex scenes to get back to the story. If she wanted to read that stuff she should buy a new copy of “Fear of Flying” by Xaviera Hollander. ❤
I replied to this from my phone but it didn’t send. Thanks so much, Arkie! I’ll definitely look up Fear of Flying again. I remember that title.
It’s tough when readers don’t see what we see….boo.
It helps to grow really thick skin. One thing I’m noticing through all this. You end up ruthless in the end but it’s all
