Reddit reviews Auntie Eva's Boarder

I have much to say about this.

First off, I've written two published novels about age play/adult babies, "Auntie Eva's Boarder" - http://www.amazon.com/Auntie-Evas-Boarder-Mako-Allen/dp/1847285554/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1391011865&sr=1-1

and "Concerning Littleton"

(Concerning Littleton is my new one, just out)

I've been an author for a long time, and when I first got started, had that very same problem you did, about a story starting out strong, and then just folding it on itself.

My advice to you is twofold:

• 1. READ
     
• 2. WRITE
     
     That sounds simplistic, and in a way it is. But it's good advice.
     
     Reading....
     Mark Twain said that a good writer writes what he knows. So you read, and read a LOT, to learn about how other writers express themselves, to see their voice. Every writer has stuff they rock at. Some are great at dialogue, others at narration, others at physical description, setting, and character. Don't just read adult baby stories, either. Read EVERYTHING. Fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, biographies. Read anything and everything.
     
     Do yourself a favor and read the following books:
     
• Stephen King's On Writing
  
• Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones
  
  Get yourself a copy of The Elements of Style. Good grammar, spelling, and style are ESSENTIAL.
  
  Writing....
  The fantasy author Piers Anthony had the greatest advice about breaking writer's block I've ever heard. Ignore it. Force yourself to write. It can be a little every day, or a set number of hours per week, or number of words, whatever. Just do it. You sit down, and get writing. Even if what comes out of you is AWFUL, you get yourself in the practice of writing. It's like a workout for your brain. You can always edit your stuff later. In fact, you will.
  
  The sad, awful, terrible truth is that writing is not writing. Editing and rewriting are writing. You will go back and whittle and sand and polish your stuff until it's perfect. And it never will be.
  
  Some key basics of good writing.
  
  

1. Show, don't tell.
   Example, telling (BAD): "Nancy loved when Ted wore diapers. She wanted to be his mommy."
   Example, showing (GOOD): "Nancy cradled Ted in her arms, rubbing her hand over his diaper. She smiled at him. 'Call me Mommy again, Teddy.' "
   
   
2. Less is more. We don't need to know the character's last name, job, age, all spelled out to us. If a detail is important, show it organically in the story.
   
   
3. Erotic elements are important, but the story isn't a life support system for them. Make the characters real, make them relatable to the reader.
   
   
4. Know what it is you want to say. What's the underlying theme or idea for your story? All good fiction has at its heart a CONFLICT, which the story shows as it resolves. Often my fiction is about what happens to kinky people as they learn to accept themselves, or express themselves well to others.
   
   
5. Know your mechanics. Good spelling, good grammar aren't an option. They are the building blocks of your writing.
   
   
6. Keep at it. The more you do it, the better you'll get.
   
   Thanks
