As people who read my last post will know, I received my first bad review recently. This lead to a lot of self-doubt and questioning.
The review claimed my book was boring erotica. The boring bit I had no problem with. We are all entitled to our own opinion and I know not everyone will like my work. The issue I had was with my book being called erotica. I did not aim for my work to fall into that category and truthfully, do not believe it should. I suddenly found myself worrying about my current work in progress. Is there too much sex in it? Will people say that is erotica too?
I began frantically leafing through the pages, counting the sex scenes and studying the content. Is it too descriptive? Are there too many? Do they sound repetitive?
The number of questions I have asked myself is endless.
