I'm new to this forum but not exactly new to writing. I'm not a professional writer as of yet or even semi professional but I've considered it off and on for a while since I was often told as a child, teen, and adult that I'm a good writer (not always but often), so I thought of maybe writing a book or two of poetry and maybe fantasy fiction novel (no particular time limits-though it would be nice to publish one in the next few years to help pay for school) LOL. But anyway I was thinking in terms of a romance or erotica novel (maybe erotica, I don't want to do a romance novel) but I'm not sure how far I'd want to take the sexual content in the novel; so in your opinion is there much difference between writing a romance and an erotica? Some some there's more sex in erotica, but I've read some romance novels in the past and some of them had a good amount of sex scenes in them.
