Laura draws things

girlboss moment

hey -- happy pride right back to you!! first of all, that sounds super fun & i can't wait to read. i'm definitely not the All Time Smut Writing God but i am a heavy erotica connoisseur/writer so here are some things i've picked up over the years.

outline, outline, outline. the google doc (or whatever you're writing the fic into) can be used for more than just pen-to-paper writing. i typically have another tab open (i use the notes app on mac) to jot down dialogue, where the scene is going, details i want to include, etc. this is by far the most important step in my writing process - i can lay out the entire scene without having to write it from scratch in docs (which is intimidating).

don't be afraid to get down to nitty-gritty detail. i still blush writing erotica but don't be afraid to use anatomical terms - just be careful how you write it. simply using "part" names (lmao) is better than using "her flower" or something crazy. just call a clit a clit.

atmosphere & surroundings - use them! they aren't fucking in a void. this applies to more than just smut. use their environment in the scene. have walls. have things characters can get pushed down/onto. knock a vase off a counter. show urgency. be creative!

i personally listen to music with a pretty high bpm so i can tap my foot while writing - it helps me keep pace & flow. i try to keep my writing lyrical when it comes to pacing and a lot of this is helped by background music. you can also use white noise, i've found that helps!

read! you can learn different phrasing & interesting metaphors by reading.

practice, practice, practice. your first will be different than your last fic, and this is okay. you will get better simply by doing it over and over again. that being said, your first sets the tone! don't be afraid to start. we all started at square one. i've read amazing fics by people who tell me it was their first fic and i've been blown away.
