Hi All,
I just wanted to sincerely thank everyone who has commented and/or emailed me kind words about my latest story in the BROKEN VOWS series. I really appreciate all the generous praise and am frankly blown away.
I am also honored by the scores you have given me thus far. 9.66 makes it my second highest-scoring story on here, and while I know the sample size is still fairly small with 20 votes, I am very much appreciative of those of you who have read it and enjoyed it so much. It was fun writing that story and tying into things I have mentioned or hinted at in the previous stories in the series, as well as showing where things are heading for our naive couple from Iowa! I hope this latest story in the series shows this is much more than just a "cuckold" story.
Just to give you further information, the next story in the series I think will also be fun. Story 8 will be from a new perspective, that of Cindy, where we will learn how she and her husband got trapped by Ryan, Roxie, and the Company, and potential pitfalls that might be facing our protagonists in future.
I really enjoy longer stories/series, as I like to have some kind of connection with the characters involved. It makes the erotic parts much more enjoyable for me, and so I have been trying to do that in this series. I hope that I have succeeded in this goal thus far. I also hope I have not bitten off more than I can chew. lol
I am very much a new author in all aspects. The stories on my page are the first I have ever written, so this is very much a learning process. I have not studied or read about "how to write," and I am sure I am breaking all sorts of rules, so please bear with me as I learn.
While I very much appreciate the praise, I am also looking for critical opinions. If you think I am failing or doing poorly with something, please let me know. Someone mentioned on one of my other stories that they enjoyed the plot so much they couldn't stop reading, but they weren't a fan of how I write the sex scenes. I know I cannot please everyone in every way, but if you feel I am not meeting your expectations or doing a good job with something I am trying to represent, please share your full thoughts so I can consider them and hopefully improve. If, for example, you think I am too long-winded, the pace is too slow in certain areas, my descriptions aren't vivid enough, I am too repetitive, or anything else you think could make my writing and stories better, I'd love to hear it!
In any instance, I just wanted to say thank you again, and thanks to the SOL community as a whole, who have made me feel so welcome here! It really means a lot to have people interested in what I am writing and wanting me to succeed because they enjoy it!
Sincerely,
Beth
