Hey, other writers - ever get that spectacular inspiration, that idea which just clicks! You are thrilled about it! It is fun, it is sexy, it has to work!
Then you publish it and it just kind of sits there.
We have all had those. But, it happens. In the end, this is not a contest - though sometimes we are competing against ourselves. As far as I know, there are no "this is where you compare with other writers" stat pages. And if there were, who cares? Once again, this is for fun, right? If not, well, maybe another line of work would not be a bad idea.
I recently wrote a very short story called Ms. Cindy Gets Her Fingers Dirty At The Flower Shop. For one thing, that is a HORRIBLE title. But, it was a fun story. It was the further adventures of a character I introduced in Ms. Cindy's School for Anilingus. That was a pretty hoping story, so I thought I would continue her adventures outside of her school life.
Meanwhile, I had posted two other stories at the same time. Both of those comparatively took off!
That one...not so much. Ah well. Does that mean I am going to give up on it? Fuck no. Ms. Cindy will still get her fingers dirty in the flower shop. Honestly, it is a fun little bit of toss off fluff to throw out there while working on some more "serious" stuff.
I write mainly for fun. I hope you're not expecting Shakespeare, Sagan, Hawking, or Orwell when you click on a Cindy Sinful story. I am writing for fun. And to help people get off, but that is another post.
I will be the first to admit I do not do a great job of editing or checking my stories. I usually rip one out, let Word and Grammarly do some checking, and send it off. Nothing major, but it's not like I'm sending something to Congress. In today's society, I doubt many of them put that much effort into their bills.
Recently, I was working on a story titled "Stroke Stories." While I was working on the first half, I told the story in third-person. A couple of days later, I continued the work, but for some reason, got it into my head that I had said the first part in first-person and continued there. By the time I had realized I had switched from third to first person, quite a bit had been done.
And I am WAY to lazy to fix all of that bullshit, so I used a little bit of my so-called "author's creativity" and cinematically changed the point of view, for want of a better phrase. I made it seem like it had been done on purpose with the insertion of one line: June became me.
I pulled it off terribly, but I will stick with that choice until I finally get my act together and truly start editing some of these.
In the meantime, I will have fun.
Thank you to the community for pointing out my little error in The Erotic Adventures of a Time Traveler - seems I decided Part III was so good, I just replaced Part II with Part III and made Part III Part III as well. Make sense?
I guess you had to be there...
Hi there!
If you are reading this, you are reading my first blog entry!
My Name is Cindy. Real first name. This might come as a surprise to you, but Sinful is NOT my real last name!
As you may surmise from the site and some of my stories, if you have had a peek, I like to write erotica. I am not that great at it, and I will be the first to admit it. My spelling is atrocious, and sometimes my grammar goes south when it needs to go north. I make a lot of typos that I miss, and I sometimes rely WAY too much on AI to fix my issues.
One excuse for this is that I am legally blind. I do sometimes have problems reading the screen. Another reason is that I have a short attention span, SQUIRREL! I also get a bit impatient with myself and do try to shove too many works in at once. That goes to that blind thing, as I am unsure how much longer I will have central vision.
Ah. Yes. That blind thing. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa, which is tunnel vision, night blindness, aversion to bright lights, and a few other goodies here and there. I am at roughly 10 degrees of vision, the outer limits being a fuzzy static thing. I was only diagnosed relatively recently, so I am not entirely sure how quickly my vision is fading. Fortunately, it usually takes a while if total blindness does occur.
Please do not feel sorry for me, though. I have come to terms with this. I'm not thrilled, mind you, but there really is nothing I can do, so I cope.
Anyway, I mainly focus on lesbian writings, which interest me. A warning: I can be graphic if you look at my works! I love writing about making love, often putting myself into one of the characters. And let us be honest, it is not the easiest thing in the world to write with one hand, but I will try!
So far, much of my stuff is focused on science fiction, time travel, and ghosts elsewhere. As a runner, I also write about running and sex.
I have also recently gone into a rabbit hole. I hope my daughter never finds this stuff- unless she approves. If she does, it will make for some good copy!
