This is a good question.
I certainly do enjoy reading my own work. Especially after some time has passed.
The more I cringe at the "not so good parts", the more I eventually learn.

I choose the sexual fantasy genre because I have several fantasies that drive me wild and I figured; if they are driving me wild, hopefully
even a poorly written fantasy would drive all the sex crazed people out there wild as well. As long as I used clever cuss words and picked some sexy
characters names.
I thought; If my audience is half the pervert (pardon my choice of words) that I am, they would over look my poor grammar and just get caught up in my little sex crazed mind.
Boy did I learn a fast lesson.
I never even thought of describing my work as erotica, it was pure porn. I love writing on occasions, and in the erotica field, there is always something to talk about.
I think erotica is a great starting point for many writers, but only a select few have the talent needed to survive.
In most cases; in order to obtain that ever elusive "serious writer" status. Most must move on to the things we really wanted to write about in the first place.
All just my opinion.

I guess I would have to agree with several people above, like having my computer with me, as I write all my stories on it. However, I do write my poetry with pen and paper, then transfer it to the computer when I am satisfied with it. One comment that I don't agree with is the one about being awake. A number of stories and poems I have written, and which are the ones that come the most easily are the ones that I wake up with already fairly formed in my head. So I guess my "thing" would be to wake up with a new story in my head every few days.
How long would you be awake after you post these stories,
every few days?

A duck goes into a bar, takes a stool, and the bartender says; What will you have little ducky?
The duck says; got any grapes? Bartender says; No duck, this is a bar, we serve beer, mixed drinks, that sorta thing. We don't have grapes. So the duck leaves.
Next day the duck comes back and the bartender says; What will it be duck? Got any grapes? Says the duck.
The bartender screams No duck head, I told you yesterday; we have no grapes, we sell beer and stuff.
If you come in here tomorrow asking for grapes, I'm gonna nail your little webbed feet to the floor.
The next day the duck sits and the bartender ask him; What will you have Daffy?
The duck ask: got any nails? The bartender near blows a gasket and yells "No"
So the duck says: got any grapes?

I don't have a particular object or need to have coffee at hand, but I do need to have peace and quiet so I can write without being interrupted. So perhaps a closed door with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on it would be the "thing" I need.
I have to second this one gypsy.
I have a similar problem. I like to call her my wife.
Although she understands my addiction to writing, I swear she must be a bit jealous.
I'd like to add "time" to the equation.
I could have all the peace and quite in the world, but put a dead line on me and I turn to mush.
That's my things.

Thanks DM,
I signed up for class, bought a two year membership and everything.
I'm gonna play hooky on my first day though...(:
Hi VanessaFinaughty,
I envy your talents and determination.
How ever, I don't envy the task of trying to keep writers from annoying editors and their readers.
By all means, please keep up the fine work though,
it's one of those jobs that some one has to do.
More power to both of you.

I'd love to critique some of your work Lisa,
But you haven't written anything here...):
I guess I'll have to follow you around the forums, or maybe join the critique groups..(:
Is there an entry fee?
I haven't written anything in a while. I'll have to do something about that.
I've added you to the critique groups so they should appear for you now. It'd be good to see you in there.
OK then Lisa,
I'm a member of a country club!
Finally
