Just looking at the different sub genres on the home page. I want to know which genre is easier to write or what is a challenge that grabs you as an author?
"Sexual pleasure in woman is a kind of magic spell; it demands complete abandon; if words or movements oppose the magic of caresses, the spell is broken."
Simone de Beauvoir
I think The easiest thing to write is a forgettable poem.
The hardest thing to write is a good poem.
I think the stories, no matter what category, will be hard to write. I think it has to do more with how ambitious you make your plot and characters. The more complex you make it, the more attention to detail you have to put. Motivations need to make sense. The ending needs to answer questions the reader might have. If you're gonna make your story longer than a couple thousand words, writing something that will be engaging until the end is very difficult.
If you are looking to write something easy then you need to skip the plot and write something like walking in on your girl in the shower and having sex. No need for a plot. You can establish who the girl in the shower is and who the man is in like two sentences then proceed to sex and the ending is a cum shot. Simple. BUT you then have to make the sex an almost ethereal experience to write something interesting, that can be hard. These stories can actually be the biggest turn on to readers because they can see themselves in the story instead of your characters. Having a short story also increases likelihood that it will be read until the end. That kind of writing gets annoying for the author quickly though, but for a first story or for someone starting out, a story like that is almost a given.
In the shower example I gave you.. That can be in a few genres. The genre doesn't really matter when it comes to difficulty. For me anyway.
The easiest thing to write is a true story. The story is already written in your mind if you lived it. That is why "my first time" stories are a good first story for a beginning author. Of course, the fantasy of how the first time woulda/shoulda gone is also already written in your mind and might make a better story, because you've embellished it to suit your tastes.
The challenge that grabs me as an author is to get the reader to imagine herself in one of the really interesting roles in the story without resorting to the I-do-this-and-you-do-that cheat. When a reader comments that they've imagined themselves in a role that I hoped would appeal, the genre doesn't really matter, because I got inside the reader's head and took her for a ride that left her satisfied. This doesn't necessarily mean sexually satisfied. Just glad she went on the ride.
I've written poetry, straight sex, reluctance, anal and first time stories. In all of these the writer needs to built up the excitement and create an atmosphere that draws the reader in.
For me the easiest category to write is because the very subject brings the drama and excitement just by being .
In fact one major reason I don't write often is simply because it lacks a challenge. There is also the fact that. I don't care to be viewed as an " writer" because I sense a certain schism there that causes some people to shy away from some of my other work.
What genre is easiest? That's easy! It's *your* favorite genre! It's the genre that probably has the most stories you have read yourself. The genre that dominates your porn collection.
At the end of the day, you write what you know.
What genre is easiest? I think depends on what you're into in your real life and finding the genre that fits you.
The easiest thing for me to write is true...about 90% of it, maybe
I think for most writers the genre or category they find easiest to write in is the one they know the most about. For Me, that's BDSM. But for others it could be bisexual, lesbian, straight sex, or whatever they are most interested in.
My most difficult genre by far is poetry - I HATE writing poetry! But others find it very easy and have a hard time writing a story instead.
