Two months in, and wow... what a ride this erotica writing journey has been! Here’s a little reflection on what I’ve learned, struggled with, and how I’m growing…
Hi Everyone,
Today marks the first day of my third month in what I lovingly call my “erotica writing play college,” and I couldn’t be happier to continue this journey. These two months have been full of learning, challenges, and little victories, and I’m so grateful for everyone who has been part of it.
It’s been an incredible ride so far. I’ve learned so much, and while I know I’ve made a little bit of progress, I also see clearly how much more there is to master.
There are certain areas where I’ve fallen short, especially when it comes to connecting my stories to realistic scenarios and giving enough depth to my characters. I’m working on this, slowly but steadily.
Some of you even pointed out these shortcomings to me. At the time, instead of taking it sportively and seeing it as constructive criticism, I let my emotions get the better of me and felt upset. That was my fault. With time, I’ve realized the value in that feedback, and I’ve learned from it. I know I may have lost some of those people along the way, but I’m still thankful for the role they played in helping me grow. And the little pep talk from you has been medicine for my creative heart to heal.
As a female erotica writer, I’ve faced some unique challenges I didn’t expect. The biggest one has been my hesitation when writing intimate romantic encounters. I still find myself holding back, avoiding explicit language or detailed descriptions. I understand that readers of erotica often expect bold, immersive scenes, but my instinct is still to soften certain words. This is something I’m determined to overcome with time and practice.
On a personal note, I’m an emotional person. Sometimes, my feelings have shaped my writing, or delayed it. I know I need to manage my emotions better, but in many ways, writing has become my outlet. It’s where I can process emotions, channel them creatively, and turn them into something that feels meaningful. And whenever I’ve been stuck or stressed, your encouragement has been the gentle push I needed.
Whether you realize it or not, without your help, guidance, and kindness, I could never have made it here. Every like you gave, every compliment you offered, and every time you consoled me when I was struggling—all of it worked like medicine, helping me find my footing again.
I’m still young and I'm still learning. My husband teases that I act like a kid, and maybe he’s right. You’ve treated me with that same kindness and patience, guiding me, encouraging me, and cheering me on.
For all that, I am deeply thankful.
Here’s to month three, learning more, writing better, and sharing stories that I hope will touch and excite you just as much as they do me.
Best regards,
-- Shailu

Hi Shailu
I can’t believe how, in just two months, you’ve learned to write such breathtaking novels.
I’m honestly in awe of you. I truly envy your gift, and I deeply admire you. Your writing style is extraordinary, you take your time, letting every moment unfold with such care and emotion. The romantic scenes you create are pure magic; they stay with me long after I finish reading.
Please, never stop writing. What you do is truly beautiful.
With best wishes and waiting to read more of your writings.
