Why You Are Getting Femdom Writer's Block Right Now (And How To Fix It)
It happens to all of us: we get a great idea for a femdom story, put down about 1-3 hot and heavy pages, but then our energy to keep writing dribbles away like a ruined orgasm:
Just last week I was writing the next installment of “The CockSitters Club” (a world where all men must stay in chastity belts 24/7, and a group of girls have a business holding men's keys while their wives are on vacation).
It was called “Victoria's Litter”, and was about a sitter who strips her charges nude and keeps them like literal dogs during their entire stay (always crawling on all fours, no talking, must eat and use the bathroom like a dog) and it seemed like SUCH a hot idea when I first thought of it, but after I got about 5 pages into it.... meh.
On the thread on www.orgasmdenial.comthat inspired this post, someone commented: “I've started numerous [femdom] stories in the past years and they go nowhere.”
Why does this happen to everyone? The answer is, because your story has lost its charge.
Let's talk about what causes causes a story to be 'charged' or not. 'Charge' is an idea from vanilla romantic fiction, where a man and woman love each other for some reason, (providing attraction) but can't be together for some different reason (providing repulsion).
Think of the main characters like two highly charged metal plates, one positive and one negative. The opposite charges attract- the plates REALLY want to be together! But if you let them touch (the main characters have sex), there's a zap of power, the charge between the plates equalize, and there's no tension in the story anymore.
So the best-selling romantic fiction authors are like circus strong men, holding these two massive, highly charged plates just inches from each other, keeping them close enough so a few sparks can jump across the gap (a look here, a quick kiss there) but never letting them touch (complications of the plot) no matter how hard the plates attract.
It's this 'charged' tension of attractive and repulsive forces that keeps readers reading and writers writing.
(Oh, and it almost goes without saying, if you keep the main characters too far apart- too much repulsion- no sparks can make the jump between the plates. No tension there either.)
So let's tie this back to what we're writing: fast, fun, femdom fiction. Two of my previous blog posts for writing better femdom stories gave us the following rules:
The women are the stars, but the men must have a big choice to make.Always leave room for escalation.
And in the first post I talked about my favorite way to achieve 'charge', which was:
Take something the main character really wants, take something they really hate, and make it so they can't get one without the other.
The nerdy boy can't go to prom with the hot girl unless he agrees to let her lock him in chastity.
The rich stock broker can't keep his past embezzling a secret unless he strips nude for his secretary every day.
The adventurer can't get the golden idol without sneaking into the mountain fortress of the tough Amazon warriors.
All those plot starters have charge, because they take a good thing and a bad thing and make them a package deal for the main character.
So why did “Victoria's Litter” fail for me, and why do some of YOUR femdom ideas peter out?
Because I didn't leave room for escalation (the boys were basically nude, locked and helpless from the middle of the first scene) and they no longer had any choices to make (Victoria had thought of everything).
The electric plates had touched; the tension was gone. I tried to recharge the plates (the boys have to attend a garden party for Victoria's friends as dogs, complete with anal plug tails!) but it was too late.
Charge gone, tension gone, writer no longer felt like writing.
But don't worry, I'm still revising “Cocksitter's Club #1: Lori's Interest” for release in September, and I've started a page one rewrite of “CockSitter's Club #2” for September release as well.
And this time I'm making SURE to leave room for the Universal Locking Law to escalate things for the boys, and giving them meaningful choices to make to keep the charged plates from touching!
Try the same thing out if you find your own interest waning in a femdom story you're writing. Ask yourself:
What does the main character want? What does he hate? Are they tied together?What important choice does he have to make? Are there a series of smaller choices he can make on the way to let me escalate things?Am I maintaining 'charge' by keeping the desired things close together, but NOT touching?
That should get you writing again.
That's all for now, I've got to get back to writing, too. And look out for this related topic, coming soon:
