Sonia Shade's Erotica

 Do you write because you want to write or because you want to make money? This has been a matter of debate online with some people saying 'I write because I like writing' giving the impression that writing purely for money is mercenary in some way. Although I do enjoy writing and don't see it as a job, I do write because I want to make money! I research and write in certain niches so that my stories sell as well as possible.  The reason for this is very simple Yes, I love creating a story or even a non-fiction book but if it doesn't sell then I feel like I have wasted my time. There is another issue and that is confidence if my work isn't selling then it's a massive hit to the ego and I find it very hard to write if I feel like nobody wants to read it. So far the best selling eBook I have written as been 'How To Make Money Publish Erotica!' This was also the non-fiction work that I enjoyed writing the most! WIN WIN!!!! Failure! I wrote another eBook ab...

My worst nightmare as an erotica writer has come true! Recently I have been getting some people messaging me on social media not understanding that I write about sex, including threesomes, foursomes, bisexual experiences, cuckolding, and so on  BUT  I do  NOT  participate in these activities! Well, I say some people mostly men sending me often rude and disrespectful messages and a few unwanted pictures. There was even an instance of my partner getting abuse by a woman during a discussion because I write erotica!

This was my worry when I started writing erotica that people might think I am speaking from experience ra...

 I write erotica! I write smut! I write dirty stories! That is not something most people would ever admit to or even think that they would say to someone. Erotica in a way is still a taboo subject. Would you admit it to your mother? I know I haven’t! I was asked by my partner’s family what I write and it was hmm ermm well romance. And it isn’t because I am ashamed of writing erotica it’s just because I really don’t want to deal with the questions. No, the stories are not based in any way on my life. No, I don’t need experience of the events to write about them any more than a fantasy writer needs to know how to do magic to write about a wizard. Don’t expect fame Every one of my stories has zero reviews on Amazon! Zero! Even the story that was downloaded ninety times in a day! Why is that? Because the people that read erotica do not want people knowing they read it, so they don’t usually write reviews. Yes, I know some books do have reviews on Amazon etc but if you...
