Any type of writing can lead to writer’s block. Sometimes
you just aren’t in the mood to write. If you must continue writing during those
times, there are steps to counter the phenomena. The following are different
things that I’ve done to avoid burnout or writer’s block.
Read
One excellent way to overcome writer’s block is to read. You can study anything. It doesn’t have to be another erotic short story. Although a good erotica book can reinvigorate you for weeks. I’ve found inspiration from the news, Facebook Newsfeeds, book descriptions, books on writing, and non-fiction books. Taking a few minutes, or even a couple of hours, to allow your brain to go on a trip is a great way to blow past writer’s block.
Watch Something
Another option is to watch television or a movie. Seeing how a script writer works a plot is a decent way to unwind while still being open to new ideas.
Listen
Eavesdropping might be a no-no, but it is a fantastic tool for writers. Listening to how people interact with each other, their phrasing, and monitoring their physical movements to get ideas on how to write your characters, dialogue, and showing is a great way to learn. You never know what you will overhear.
People Watching
Even if you can’t hear what people are saying to each other, you can watch their movements and imagine what is going on with them – weave an epic story.
Read or Watch Crap
Every time I watch or read something that sucks, I play out how I would have made it better. Ridiculous ending? Make your own. Bad dialogue? Spice it up. Stilted acting? Replay it with feelings and emotions.
Outline
As I’ve previously indicated, a helpful tool that I use when I don’t want to write is to plot out three or four books. My favorite thing is to take a character though a story arch to a happy ending. In an hour, I can play out four happy ever afters. Ah….
Book Descriptions
Reading other author’s book description is a beneficial way to find inspiration. I’ve found words, scenes, character types, scenarios, themes, etc. that jump off the page, or device, and speak to me. In seconds, I’m using that word to develop my own completely different story.
Read Reviews
By reading reviews, you can discover what readers like and don’t like. With that information, you can improve your future works.
Read your own reviews. However, be careful not to fall into
a swirling vortex of despair when someone writes that they didn’t get your book
or couldn’t invest in the characters. Skip to the next review. It might be
better. Furthermore, use your reviews to improve your future writing or update
the book that the reader had concerns about.
I know the first critique I received sucked. I didn’t write
for a year. However, during that year, I watched a lot of television, read a
lot of books, and studied what worked and what didn’t. In addition to improving
my writing, I grew some thicker skin. Each negative review stung a little less.
Now, when I receive a less than stellar review, I devour it to see what I can
do better.
If you aren’t at the point where you can read your own
reviews and not get upset, take a break from reading the reviews.
Take Breaks
Write a scene or chapter, get up, and take a walk. Go to the bathroom. Go for a drive. I always come up with the best shit when I finish writing a scene and get up to walk around. As soon as I’m back, I’m furiously writing again.
Stop Being a Perfectionist
No one is fucking perfect, so stop thinking you need to be. You aren’t going to resonate with everyone, and that’s “perfectly” fine. You don’t like all types of books, so why in the hell do you think everyone should love what you’ve written? I believe that is the absolute best lesson that I’ve learned over the last three years. Don’t take it personally. That doesn’t mean you should write crap and not care what people think. You still need to strive to be better and to write quality material.
Write Non-Fiction
I love alternating between erotic fiction, contemporary fiction, and non-fiction. It keeps my brain guessing, and I don’t ever have writer’s block. I’ve written non-stop for over three years with 60 fiction and non-fiction books published, and I have 28 more fiction and non-fiction books written or plotted out.
Another opportunity you have when you’re feeling blocked is to take some time to market. Set up book promotions. Contact beta readers. Use old work to post on your blog. Reach out to other’s struggling with writer’s block.
Join a Writer’s Group
Being around other writers can be both reassuring and inspiring. When you have someone else to commiserate with, it feels good to know that you aren’t alone. Moreover, when you are with people who are excited about their work, you can soak up some of their motivation and use it to your advantage.
Just Write
I do all my writing with pen and paper. I know, it sounds like extra work, and maybe it is. But there are some significant benefits. When I type, I proofread and get stuck on words and phrasing. When I write, I free flow and rarely edit. The amazing thing is that when I type up what I’ve written, it doesn’t need major editing. I use spellcheck, Grammarly, proofread once or twice, and publish. If I typed everything first, I’d still be agonizing over the perfect first paragraph. Just write.
Self-Care
If none of these things help you prevent burnout or avoid writer’s block; you should take some time off. Take a nap, you deserve it after spending months writing until two o’clock in the morning. Take a weekend off. Get a massage to eliminate that stabbing pain in your neck as you’ve spent too much time hunched over typing. Read, watch porn, and have sex instead of writing all night. Get your mind and body relaxed and/or stimulated.

Now it’s Suzanne and Jeff’s story, siblings of Nash and Hilary, respectively, from Wait For Me and they did an appearance in this story.
I enjoyed reading their story and I find Jeff’s character endearing, and Suzanne is one heck of a woman, she knows what she wants and won’t accept anything less. They might have a little misunderstanding but they worked it out in the end.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
There are numerous mistakes that you can make as an author
of erotica, and I don’t want you to make those errors. Several of these have
already been discussed in previous chapters, but I would be remiss if I didn’t
highlight them again.
No Story
There must be substance to your erotic short story. If it is just a compilation of sex scenes with no character development, then you’re writing porn. Submit your account to a skin magazine (or internet porn site) instead of Amazon.
Believable
Unless you’re writing a story about alien sex, make the characters and story relatable. Just because it is erotica doesn’t mean the concept has to be over the top. Simple is better than complicated. Most individuals reading erotica are doing so to escape and prefer a good happily ever after. Give it to them!
Head Swapping
Another problem that a lot of new authors struggle with is swapping heads in the middle of scenes. Don’t. It is too confusing, and your reader can’t relate to either of the characters. Instead, you should use different points of view in separate scenes, if not chapters or books.
Gratuitous Sex
Yes, erotica is based on sex. However, sex needs to have a purpose. Gaining confidence. Growing closer to another person. Exploring their identity. Searching for acceptance.
No Knowledge
Not knowing what you are talking about is the next author faux pas. If you don’t understand the topic you are writing about, it won’t sound authentic. For example, if you are writing gay erotica, you need to know what sex acts that men can do and enjoy doing together. Or if you are writing a bondage story, you need to not only know how the parties have sex, but you need to understand why someone enjoys being a dom and a sub. Otherwise, it will sound stupid.
Another issue that new authors run into is sticking with the same tense (i.e., present, past, or future, and the many variations of the same). When you don’t have a sound grasp on the English language and grammar, you must have a high-quality editor to whip your shit into a decent manuscript.
I was pretty good at English, have been writing as a
professional for over twenty years, have a college degree, and attempted to
become an author for twelve years – and still mess stuff up. If you’re
struggling, you should write a short story and then get an editor. It is a
reasonable expense to learn how to be a better writer.
Not Having an Audience
It is extremely tough to grow traction as an Indie author or as a published author for that matter. Publishing houses aren’t taking a risk on newbies without an audience either. So built that audience.
Over and Under Pricing
It is a challenge to decide what will be the best pricing point for your books. However, by researching your genre and reviewing the information provided by Amazon, you can make an educated decision about price. It can be a bitter pill to swallow that you put in hours of blood, sweat, and tears, and you aren’t able to get huge royalties. But it is a part of building yourself up in a very competitive marketplace.
Believing Someone Will Steal Your Work
It is common for new authors to worry that another person is going to steal their work. When you’re first started out, you will hold onto your words like they’re your first-born child. Within a year, you’ll loosen up. By your third year, you’ll be passing that kid around like it takes a village to raise it. You won’t care who picks it up!
Now, on a more serious note, there is so much information out there that someone finding you and wanting to steal your stuff does not have a high probability of occurring. And, the web is your friend. If someone steals from you, you have a digital footprint to follow from email, Amazon, FB Messenger, FB Newsfeeds, and other databases (Fiverr, Bookspout, etc.) that you use. You will have the evidence you need to prove ownership if required.
