Of Whimsical Distress and Erotica Blunders

I am whimsically distressed and pining, wanderlust apparent, to write and become published. So I began reading erotica blunders on the 'net hoping to glean some insight in how to begin writing an erotica novel. There's some really shitty swill out there. It makes me whimsically distressed. This stuff is so bad, like bargain basement shopping at a five and dime store. It makes me think that I can write an erotica novel and get it published. I need to do something. I still haven't found a job yet in my field. But as I've stated earlier on this blog, my career is O-V-E-R. I just want a job so I can pay my bills and survive and exist. Has it really come to this, after all these years?

Last week I was thinking of becoming a PSO. For those of you who do not call 1-900 numbers, this is the vernacular and acronym for Phone Sex Operators. After careful and copious research, I found that I would have to plunk down some moolah for a land line and that PSO's make an average of - get this - $9 - $10 per hour! I could not believe this. The best way to research a new field/career zone is to go on the internet, by the way, and read forums and blogs about people already in their job/career. Several PSO's also work about 60 hours a week and some don't get paid more than $200 - $300 a week, some have been scammed, others dealt with rude/crude, socially unacceptable customers/clients, etc. I get more from unemployment, so I won't be pursuing this type of job. The advantages for a lot of PSO's seem to be that they could work from home. That part seemed nice.

So my new plan is to write erotica. Even though I do not read erotica. I have asked some of my erudite bookworm friends for help. I have two or three who read Vampire pseudo-erotica novels. I treasure their advice, opinion, and friendship. I think I can do this. I hope that I can crank out some above average erotica. I might even merge some genres to do this: comedy, thriller, etc. I do not think I will try a Vampire erotica novel though. I do not think I am good enough.
