What have all these words and phrases got in common? They'll water down your prose, that's what. Pull them out. You won't miss 'em.
Hi, I just discovered your podcast. I've queued up my pod-catcher to download the entire run, and I'll be listening ASAP.
I've been writing erotica for about a year now, and folks tell me I'm pretty good, but I'm sure I could get better. I'm looking forward to picking up some tips, and I'll be sure to let you know what I think after I've listened.
If you'd like to hear some of the things I've written, I have an erotic fiction podcast at nobilis.libsyn.com.

Hi, thanks for the link. I'll definitely check it out! I love listening to other writing podcasts and reading books on writing. (I also read Writer magazine and Writers Digest cover to cover, too. I guess as long as a topic keeps me hooked, I may as well explore it!)
I hope you find some nuggets in here that inspire you.
