I'm new to the erotic writing scene and I'm struggling to build tension. I've wrote fiction stories before and found building the story into a dramatic scene relatively easy but I don't seem to be able to transfer that over into erotica. Can anyone give me a few tips or any author recommendations.
Many thanks
Robbie.
Tension in interpersonal relationships happens so naturally that as long as you make the relationship realistic, it should be there. Some basic categories are automatically tense. Examples are:
First time/virginity loss
Marital strife/cheating
Reluctance
BDSM
Situational:
Will it happen?
Will it live up to expectation?
Will it cause regret?
Will I get caught doing it?
Hope those help.
Yeah that's great! given me something to think about.
Many thanks
