Tomorrow is Random Genre Month! I hope that you all have a great New Years and a wonderful Random Genre Month! Good luck!
And....I'm not prepared at all.
Sometimes when I am doing a competition like NaNoWriMo or Random Genre Month, I'll have things planned out an entire month before I start writing. Sometimes, like this time, though, it is the complete opposite. I haven't even started to plan what my novel is going to be about. I know that it is going to be horror and I have the basic idea of what the novel is going to be about but besides that I have no clue. Maybe I have an excuse. December is always a crazy month: dealing with the surge in RGM signups, preparing for the holidays, trying to get everything done before the year ends, its a crazy time. I still freak out, though, knowing that January will be here very quickly and I may be unprepared for the competition. Hopefully, once things start to die down, though, I can focus on my novel. We'll have some more information coming up soon. Until then, happy writing. Jack Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing a little information about the genres. Here is what you need to know about writing erotic fiction.
Erotic Fiction is a genre that has often been subject to criticism and taboo. There has been attempted censorship and banning over the years and it still to this day a genre that many people frown upon. We here at Random Genre Month don't though. In fact, we have randomly chosen it thrice. In 2012 a good amount of our competitors put Erotic Fiction as their genres. Erotic Fiction has it's place in ancient history. There are early poems of this genre dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. Erotic Fiction grew more popular in the seventeenth century where books like The Life and Adventures of Miss Fanny Hill were published. Almost immediately after these books were published, they were subject to criticism, yet the writing continued and remained popular. Even when laws tried to rid the world of the writings with the Obscene Publications Act of 1857, erotic fiction is still a popular genre to this day, especially with novels such as Fifty Shades of Grey.
