Writing My Own Erotic Stories

Writing My Own Erotic Stories A never-been-kissed junior high school student, I passed around a battered, spiral bound notebook full of the “naughty” stories I wrote to entertain my girlfriends.

Publish Sexy Stories after Midlife

Publish Sexy Stories after Midlife Some of us who are writers don’t quite know what we think until we write it down.  So writing our erotic stories is liberating, even if we never show them to another living soul.  If you would like a boost to keep the pen moving, you’ll find two FREE self-taught courses on my website:  One for writing our erotic histories and the other for creating sexy stories.
