I have been writing short stories for approx 5 years now. I was encouraged by a wonderful lady who was my muse, proofreader, harshest critique and most avid supporter. When she passed away, I stopped writing for awhile but picked it up again. What I hear from her is her mantra echoing in my mind 'more description'. My short stories have grown from a start of 1.5k to easily 4,5,6k or more. She still inspires me to strive for more, to improve. I've sold some to an adult website that prefers 2-3k but they do take mine even though they may be longer.
It seems now that I am writing two kinds of erotica. One for the site with what I know they want in the way of length and explicitness. And others for myself with the hope of selling them elsewhere. I finish a story of one type and then switch to the other.
Just wondering if it's better to stick with one style so that I can progress faster or to just keep plugging away as I am now.
