Unlocking the Erotic Mind: A Steamy Session on Writing Erotica with Hank Dolworth Oh F*ck Yeah with Ruan Willow

    • Sexuality

Ep 434: Writing Erotica: A Passionate Journey with Hank Dolworth.
Listen in on a literary adventure as I chat with the multifaceted erotica and erotic romance author, Hank Dolworth. We dive deep into the steamy waters of erotic fiction. He's a man who's not just a writer, but a storyteller at heart. Hank, the creative force behind Jackal Publishing, shares his experiences from his first tantalizing reads to becoming a voice in the world of self-published erotica.

We explore the intricate dance between characters and plot, the thrills of writing sex scenes, and the delicate balance between fulfilling reader expectations and staying true to one's creative vision. Hank candidly discusses his writing process, revealing how his characters take on lives of their own, steering stories into uncharted territories of desire and intimacy.

Listeners will get a peek into Hank's upcoming works, including "A Hot Wife Spring Training," (excerpt in the episode), a tale that promises to be as provocative as it is heartfelt. He also sheds light on the importance of understanding your niche, the power of community in the writing world, and the liberating act of sharing stories freely.
