    1. Loved your essay, Gwyneth! I've been checking them daily and actually saw it before I stopped by your blog.

      Very well expressed!

      Gwyneth, as I mentioned before, I love your breakdown of erotica vs romance. Good job.

    4. BRavo Gwyneth - I struggle with the difference/distinction. Some of what I am reading in erotica makes me cringe to even label it erotica - I still expect erotica to have a strong story line, a plausible plot (which no longer seems to be a standard). You did a good job with this article and establishing the clear lines between romance and erotica....

    5. Loved you 'breakdown' so many get confused, which I guess is why folks get confused in relationships, you gotta know the difference! smiling...

    6. a.kai ~ I think a lot of people struggle with the difference. So, I hope the essay will be useful to folks. I tried to stress that plot and characterization are crucial in both...

      Angelia ~ Okay! LOL. Nuff said!

    7. I saw two of my favorite authors there, Gwyneth and Shelia. And I saw one I keep meaning to read, Angelia. I also saw one or two I think maybe I've been meaning to read, but can't remember. LaConnies seems so familiar.

      Great job, authors!
