Vagueness

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get myself back into the writing groove, but I find that whenever I try to describe what's going on in the story, it's too brief and doesn't fully explain the circumstances.

Have any of you experienced this before, and if so, how do you manage to write long stories?

We might be able to better help you if you give an example of the sort of thing you mean.

By description, do you mean descriptive narrative, or 'what's going on' as in exposition?

Yeah I would definitely have to see what you have going on. I am actually writing a story right now that is slightly intentionally vague to leave most of what is going on outside of the inflation to be to the reader's imagnation. The inflation is slightly detailed but some people don't mind SOME vagueness to the story. I am a big lover of details but they don't always need to be that present.

An old adage that writers stand by is "show, don't tell". Instead of throwing the situation at the reader, describe all the little details that are going on and let the reader draw their own conclusions. Don't describe your victim as "terrified and nervous", say that "her skin was beaded with sweat, she bit her trembling lower lip as she swelled larger..."

Also bear in mind that erotic literature, especially inflation erotica, depends a lot on buildup. Make us believe this girl's a real woman, not just some throwaway gal. Give her a life, a personality. Tease us with the prospect of her ballooning up, really let us get into the story. That way when she starts to swell, it's more of a release for the reader.

These are both ways to not only solve the brevity issue, but also make the story more fun to read.
