I'm not talking about erotica, per say, but what is the difference between a book you eagerly devour and a book you slum your way through?
FROM THE BOOK:
"So, what's so special about your book?"
It's still a terrifying question, but the more you see it, the better you can prepare to answer it.
It might be hard for you to realize that your book is special at all, especially if you are a new writer, or you're one of those people who struggle with self-confidence (I can assure you from personal experience you are in good company). I know exactly how that feels.
But your book will be special, because it's yours.
It is your words written down on paper, your story written for the world to see, and the book you were born to write.
It's yours.
This is something that people tend to say about kids, and I like using this analogy here because kids can be the result of good sex, just as my "book babies" are the result of my writing. No one will love my real children the way I do. My kids are unlike everyone else's children because they are mine. And no one will ever love my husband the way I do, because he is the one I chose and the one who chose me back. Your own love story will be special because it's yours.
Your book will be special too.
But, let's face it, "special" has its limits, especially when it comes to the competitive writing market.
Your unique outlook should be what tips the balance in your favor, and you do yourself a lot of favors if your tipping point doesn't have a lot of unattractive baggage dragging it down. This means you need to take care to make your book be its best.
