As long as you get a hold on proper formatting, I look forward to more from you.

This is why before I started playing at writing erotica several years ago, I took advice from some others in the field.
The biggest suggestion they gave me was to write them before I post them. Do them up in word or wordpad or something else, and check and doublecheck and triplecheck them before I posted them. Read them as if I was reading them for the first time, and change them if something did not seem right.
Sometimes I admit I still do the 'stream of consciousness" type of postings, but when I am working on something specific for my own reading pleasure and that of others, I do it beforehand then do a copy and paste when I am sure I have it right.
