Erotic vs Non-erotic Writing.

Since February 2011, Harry Lime has written 180 short stories. The vast majority of these stories are erotic in nature and in almost every erotic category. Most of the feedback has been positive but there have been criticisms, the most profound of which was "Please stop writing". He has caused readers to suffer through "The Voodoo Queen" and some other gems of dubious distinction better left unmentioned. Once in the erotic mode, it is difficult to get out of using that style of writing to structure a story. Harry enjoys the erotic style but aspires to write non-erotic material. One of his non-erotic stories is V.C. Girl published on this site and well received by the reading public. The differences in story telling between erotic and non-erotic formats are as clear as black and white and never seem to spread into the gray space in between. It is as difficult as a Country Western singer trying to cross over into popular music.

writing multiple stories concurrently

When I first started writing this past February, I generally concentrated on one story at a time and worked on it until it was finished. I used the draft message sections on free email accounts to store my stories until I could paste them onto a story site. A few months later when I purchased an office suite program for my laptop I was able to store multiple stories and manage them much easier. Since then, I have gotten into the habit of writing several stories at the same time and switching to make it more interesting. I like that system now because it prevents any liklihood of a writing block.

Update on writing

Chapters 7-9 of the Queen of the Nile will be out by Thursday this week. I am publishing them in 3 chapter segments to make it easier for the process. Final three chapter 10-12 will be out before 12-20 and the epilogue will be before Christmas. I have a new 2 part story called The Gold Rush Days of Guinevere "Goldie" Jones. It is about a professional female golfer. The first part was very restrained erotica and I am undecided on how to do the second half. I have about 10 stories that need continuations and will hold them until early January. Between February and December, I have written just over 200 stories. About 100 of them are on this site. I have a lot of stories lined up for next year.

The Fine Line Between Romance and Erotica

Several of the strong storyline constructed short stories that I have written incorporated elements of romantic writing. Sometimes they were intentional and other times just happened as the story developed. There were definite romantic overtones In "Mike Takes a New Case" Also romance was present in "Marko Takes a Chance" and "A Bullet in the Fountain" My most recent story was intentionally romantic and pretty much devoid of blatant erotica. It is called "The Gold Rush Days of Guinevere "Goldie" Jones. I intended it to be a simple 2 part story but I got over enthused and it will be 3 parts. The first 2 parts have been posted. The woman that inspired this story is real and is very close to the character portrayed. Harry has been so infatuated that he has foresworn erotica in this endevour despite the probable reduction in customary readership levels.

Queen of the Nile update

Chapters 7 - 9 will be posted later today. This story is coming into the homestretch with increased erotica as Neferuptah gains control over her human hostess. Detective Rhonda Murphy feels more alive and filled with sexual energy than she had ever felt her life. The secret of the uncrowned Queen is about to explode with a 4,000 year old promise of revenge.

Story Update

The Romantic story of professional golfer Guinevere "Goldie" Jones is finished. It was a very happy ending. The last 3 chapters of the Queen of the Nile is already outlined and will be posted within the next week. Wrote a silly little story about a 16 year old boarding school girl with a bladder problem and a very dedicated Nun devoted to strict discipline. I got the idea from a new friend I made on another site who is into that fetish of special water sports. She seems normal in every other respect so I thought it would be nice to write a little tribute story to her originality. I have had a lot of experience with strict nuns and I assure you I have nothing but the greatest respect for them.

The Queen of the Nile Completed.

The final chapter of the Queen of the Nile will be submitted tomorrow. The Epilogue will be in by December 23. I have decided to make the Epilogue set in the 2066 A.D. timeframe to tie up the 3 sets of stories that comprise the Queen of the Nile set in 2,000 B.C., 1912 A.D., and present day 2011 A.D. Lots of fun writing this story and I heard today on the radio that they have discovered secret tunnels under the pyramids that may lead to unknown wealth in the tombs of the royal families.
