As an avid reader of erotic fiction, I was often disappointed by the lack of appealing titles on the market. I scoured various online platforms in the hope of finding a book that would really captivate me, but unfortunately my search was in vain. It wasn’t until I became an author myself that I realized the true appeal of writing what you want to read. In this blog post, I’ll go into more detail about why you should write what interests you and how you can stand out in the crowded erotic fiction market.
My initial spark to start writing was when I realized that I had run out of books I wanted to read. And that there were no titles on the huge online market whose blurb really managed to captivate me.
Having the feeling while reading that you yourself wished the book had continued differently is a sure sign that you have something of your own to say as an author. That you have opened up a gap in the vast market of erotic literature.
That’s why the tip to write exactly what you’d like to read is worth its weight in gold for every author, but especially for the young ones. Even if you’re not catering to a new kink, your instincts will show you that you’re approaching the subject matter in a completely new and unique way. And if you trust your instincts and write what you yourself would like to read, you won’t run the risk of writing to suit the market (which doesn’t work anyway) or producing soulless mass-produced goods (which ultimately won’t sell).
Writing with the intention of creating a story that captivates you will give your work a unique perspective. You can bring in new insights and ideas that haven’t been explored before. As a writer, it’s important to take risks and bring new content to the table. One way to do this is to stay true to what turns you on. Your instinct is your guide, and if you trust it, you’ll write something that stands out from the crowd.
Also, if you write what you want to read, you don’t have to conform to market expectations. It’s easy to fall into the trap of producing cookie-cutter content that conforms to what’s hot right now. This may work in the short term, but it’s not sustainable. If you want to be successful as an author, it’s important that you create content that is authentic and fits you.
When you write what you want to read, you can fully unleash your creativity and imagination. It’s an incredibly liberating moment when you let your thoughts run free and try out new ideas. Your work can be innovative, fresh and exciting – something readers are always looking for.
As a writer, it’s important that you are confident in your abilities and trust that you have something valuable to offer. Your unique voice and take on the genre can make all the difference. No one can write a book with your voice or style, so why not create something that’s all yours?
Writing what you want to read is one of the best ways to stand out in the crowded erotic fiction market. If you create content that excites and captivates you, it will show in your work and transfer to your readers. If you trust your instincts and write authentically, you can have a successful career as an author. So the next time you sit down to write, think about what turns you on and let your imagination run wild. Who knows what you could create?
