To write erotica that people will enjoy reading—that you would enjoy reading, you have to feel comfortable in your own skin while writing it.

Just as you want your readers drawn into the fantasy of being the heroine, that fantasy should be one you aspire to, also. You don’t want to flinch while you’re writing it but instead feel as if you are actually in the scene.
