How graphic is too graphic?

Hi Sunshineangel,

Writing is a wonderful passion to have. I love writing and like you, I tend to down play my gift. So let me be the one to tell you to STOP it. If you truly love to write then do it. I write a lot of poetry and just began to write a horror/mystery novel. I have six chapters written already. I wrote 3 articles for Helium.com. When you get a chance, check it out.

You should not feel guilty at all about what you are writing. If you have the urge to write racy novels, just change your target age group. As a writer you can do what you want when you feel like it. Other people have written stories just like those. So that goes to show that if you don't write it, someone else will. If you have read some of the novels Patricia Cornwell, Stephen King, James Patterson, John Grisham, and some of the very old Harlequin Romances, then you know that you are limited by your imagination. Even though you are just writing part-time and not making a career out of it, don't limit yourself. Not everyone can write. And not everyone will like what you write.

Just go with your feelings because that is what guides you as a writer.

Good Luck with your writing and I hope your hotel dream comes true!

Thanks, your post made me smile. Sometimes I think I'm seeing things the wrong way. That put things into prospective. You sound sort of like my editor except I never really liked the way he said it. You upped my spirits to keep on writing and to have faith in what I'm writing. That means a lot.
