Do you ever wonder?

All right. I'll admit I peruse random sites when they offer free books. Lately I caught some from B&N, and one of them - seriously - was amateurish. No punctuation in the proper places, plus the narrator told me what was going on through 80% of the story. I skimmed it, deleted it, then started thinking.

I know I write better than that. I have a decent grasp of showing versus telling. Punctuation is not a problem unless it gets fancy, and I can reword a couple sentences if I have to get around it. I have a few stories I could take out there to Smashwords (where they originated) and see what happens.

My reluctance stems from time commitments. I have several things pressing, and I'm not sure how much time I have to market the things. The other question is length. Since many of my stories are very short, I'm not sure how I'd put them together - in collections or by themselves or what.

So I'm curious - for those of you who read erotica - how do you buy it? Do you buy it? Do you look at it only if it's free? Do you want good descriptions in order to grab your interest? Do you want a certain length for $0.99, or per dollar spent? What makes that worth the investment? Where do you look for it? And, last question, would you buy, read, rate my stories if I got them out there?

Looks Can Be Deceiving

If you just went with posting frequency to this blog, you might think there was nothing on my mind. I'd assure you that isn't the case, but most of my readers know that I'm simply preoccupied with other matters.

Which is sad, because this part of my brain has been working overtime while I sleep. If I blogged that on a daily basis, you'd all stay tuned, I'm sure.

I thought today that I ought to change this blog's title to something more appropriate. Erotica Musings strikes me as what I'd like to be saying, knowing full well that half or more of the erotic musings I get don't make it into the blog, but into my varied stories. I suppose it'll take me awhile to figure out exactly what I'm attempting to share here.

Or I could easily just get my money's worth from the 18+ rating on this blog. Sex and more graphic sex. I've been expressing myself through sex, for the most part, but in a way that simply doesn't require the content rating.

Just letting everyone know that I'm still here. My brain isn't empty. I'm just considering options. Wouldn't mind if you'd want to weigh in. Thanks!

And for all of you playing at home, I hope you didn't forget National Underwear Day on August 5.
