One Stop Erotica Shop!

"That's my gripe a lot of the time, that erotica is NOT used wisely, but instead as a safety valve for running out of ideas."

Raymond Chandler said something to the effect that when in doubt as to plot, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand. Substitute sex scene for gun and you've got it.

I had this idea of retelling the Ilsa Lund/Viktor Laszlo, Rick Blaine triangle from Ilsa's POV: I have many words in a private static, many situations drawn up and changes to plot lines [perhaps Ilsa missed Rick at the station because she went to the wrong station, after all there are how many Gare in Paris] and characterizations. When I thought I had a clear path to the finish, I watched "Now Voyager" one night and had to think of a way to introduce the dowdy Charlotte Vale to the plot. After all, Paul Henreid was in both films. Now as I read my unfinished work, I am wondering if I haven't committed the sins mentioned above.
