I agree we have to write what we're comfortable with, regardless of what "seems" to be popular at the time.James Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807865320537867045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-25253106582744246792008-07-10T17:46:00.000-04:002008-07-10T17:46:00.000-04:00When I sent my 'agent' the 3rd book in the series,...When I sent my 'agent' the 3rd book in the series, he told me about the erotic romance genre. And then I found out about EC and discovered my heat level was considerably tame in comparison! I wondered if I could write it, and I've discovered I'm getting better at it.<BR/><BR/>Great post, Cindy:)Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-63432453250813833362008-07-10T17:03:00.000-04:002008-07-10T17:03:00.000-04:00Excellent post.

I love the idea of writing fantasies into a story that is my own creation.Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-58237773465972634662008-07-10T15:43:00.000-04:002008-07-10T15:43:00.000-04:00Its like you say, you do what works for you.I feel...Its like you say, you do what works for you.<BR/><BR/>I feel that sex is one such activity that needs a titillation by imagination, & your's alone can never be enough. So sharing it through books and via media makes scope for making your life more exciting. <BR/><BR/>After all it is excitement & novelty that we seek, whether in food ( even food tastes better just by the sake of its presentation) or sex. After all, both are hungers that live with us as we live...Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615034229525061880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-85970020435176467982008-07-10T14:58:00.000-04:002008-07-10T14:58:00.000-04:00Loved the post Cindy!!

Just a few anthologies and single titles that I found by chance because before the internet, it was hard to find what I enjoyed reading and took chances on print not knowing if it would be the sensuality I enjoyed reading (I do enjoy reading even sweet regencies, just depends on the genre). But I don't go looking for the sensuality, I look for the blurb, the genre, theme, author, publisher, etc. I don't say to others who read books from the best sellers list that has alot of violence and murder in them and the like that they shouldn't read those, that its a personal preference. Thats the same way I feel about what I read, that it should be my choice and preference and I go up to the checkout proud of my purchases! I so love to read and appreciate all you and all put out!Caffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830854922444380155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-12251147043874971122008-07-10T12:47:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:47:00.000-04:00Mona--you've gotta do what works for you.

(no I did not leave anything out of that question) The answer: one of its feet is both the same. Swiss humor. At home we call those non-joke jokes because they sound like a joke set up but, ENH!??!<BR/><BR/>Cindy awesome post as ever. It takes true comfort to put your real name on your work.

But I write under my own name, no pen name. My husband is proud of my writing and so are my family and friends, my former boss and colleagues. I'd rather continue this way. I enjoy my friends' erotica novels even if I don't write under the same umbrella.
