You mentioned having trouble finding a good pace as far as introducing characters.

I suspect most people who read this forum, and often this includes me, are looking for a story with high erotic intensity. I'm sure I've given up on some good stories just because I wasn't in the mood to engross myself in understanding who the people were, even though I know this would enhance the reading experience.

When I was editing my last story, "Dare to grow," it occurred to me that most people who opened the story would fall out in the first couple of pages, and few would probably make it to the end. But sometimes a story just won't come together in a way that appeals to everyone.

Having only published stories for the last couple weeks, it would be hard to express how grateful I have been for the handful of e-mails, and most especially for the two reviews the last story got. It it's nice to know that at least two people stuck it out to the end and liked it enough to encourage others to do the same.

I admire authors who can publish without feedback or interaction with others, but I'm not one of them.
