good news. found a great writing contest, with a prize at a chance of being published, which is really great. write a short scene with a kiss, and voila! you might be making some money when they gush how much they love your stuff. or, you won't hear them laughing about what a horrbile author you are. either way, sounds good.

starts in april, finishes in july, I think. for you clueless people, april is the fourth month, and july is the seventh. so a three month window, which is really great, and a few months to practice.
this sonds really awesome for writers.
time to blow the dust off 'forbidden passion' and re submit. liquid silvers sent me the nicest rejection letter. they loved the stuff, but didn't like the plot. no big deal, the next book will hopefully not have those problems. and they thought the sex scenes were good, which is a huge part of being a erotica writer.
so encouraged and depressed, I re edit the manuscript one more time and send it off to whispers, which is how I heard about thier nifty little contest.
good luck, everyone. (unless you beat me in the contest. then i'll cry. ha ha sob.)

I see the same mistake being made over and over. bad writing. for instance, the heroine is on the ground, admiring the hero's build. And there's this line- he had a perfect shaped back until the cape fell over it. ouch. must have been some cape. I rewrote it to say she saw he had a perfect shaped back etc. much better. too many writers leave out important little notes, and the stories don't make sense. everyone else will tell you cut cut edit. tight writing. BS.. beginners need to expand, and cut unneeded stuff. feel free to have reactions, explantions, and expostion.
reviews help. one website, helium (https://www.helium.com/registration/signup member liomas for referal) it pays (small) for articles, though I have made pay out, and members vote on which articles they like best. some of mine they like, some they hate. actually, most they hate. I need to learn a lot about writing for non fiction. this is very good practice, and I almost feel ready to collect rejections from magazines.
rewrite on dark heroes is going well. up to chapter three, sex scene added. yep. soon, maybe, I'll get off my lazy butt and re do forbidden passion a bit, resend it somewhere, and then hit dark supers somewhere.
