15 Tips For Writing An Amazing Love Letter

Posted by Unknown on Friday, February 06, 2015

To your partner, to your kid, to Neflix.

Don't worry that love letters are a thing of the past.

"People love to know how loved they are," Samara O'Shea, author of For the Love of Letters: A 21-st Century Guide to the Art of Letter Writing , tells BuzzFeed Life. And that desire is timeless. O'Shea says a love letter is "what will last, what will be remembered."

Consider writing a love letter to someone who is not a romantic partner.

Some of the most beautiful letters are written from one friend to another, or from a parent to a child.

Don't worry too much about making it sound like A Love Letter.

"People shouldn't try too hard to make it sound like what they think a love letter should be," Bonnie Downing, an author and professional love letter writer, tells BuzzFeed Life. O'Shea suggests you avoid mimicking anyone else's voice. "You can't really go wrong; don't put too much pressure on yourself to write like 'letters of old,'" she says.

9 Erotica Books That Should Be More Famous Than "Fifty Shades Of Grey"

Posted by Unknown on Friday, February 06, 2015

These may not have inner goddesses but they do have layered protagonists and some hot, hot writing.

The Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz

This series follows Nora, a famous erotica author who's working on her most personal manuscript to date. Her British editor, Zach, won't let her publish it until she rewrites the novel to his strict liking, and this dynamic soon creates a sexual and dynamic relationship between them. The books has been met with sterling reviews and has established itself as more than just another erotica series.

Quote: “Rule #1: Hurt, but do not harm.”

The Master of the Shadowlands series by Cherise Sinclair

Cherise Sinclair's BDSM series, like Fifty Shades, also involves a woman becoming sexually awakened as a sub, except she's ambitious and brilliant and isn't having submissive sex to get a guy to like her more. The best part? Sinclair has written a LOT of S&M erotica, so you'll have a lot to hold you over.

Quote: “It's hard for an educated woman to turn her head off. That's part of the joy of being a submissive. None of the decisions are yours. When you can't refuse anything and can't even move, those voices in your head go silent. All you can do, and all you are permitted to do, is feel.”

The Noire series by Emmanuelle de Maupassant

The new debut novel of an upcoming series, The Gentleman's Club follows Mademoiselle Noire, a sexually liberated and highly intelligent woman with whom Lord MacCaulay becomes obsessed. The book has been praised for its writing style and progressive heroine, who often questions gender norms and dated social conventions.

Quote: To sample the delights of a great many women is considered right and healthy for a man, yet the opposite is held true for those of our sex. Where we display undue interest in sexual matters, even within marriage, we are thought immoral. For myself, I can only conceive of such limitation with horror: a torture for which I have no taste.”

The Vampire Queen's Servant series by Joey W. Hill

The plot revolves around Lady Elyssa, a 700-year-old vampire queen who has been feeling mysteriously weak as of late. She ends up with a macho servant named Jacob, who isn't used to being a submissive but slowly changes when he's with her. They end up having more in common than they realized and start to form a genuine bond. Basically, this book should be more famous than Fifty Shades of Grey AND Twilight.

Quote: “A man who doesn't test the mettle of his soul isn't much of a man...”
