Sex still sells

Quote from The Marketing Whore:

The 2007 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo/GAYVN Expo broke all previous trade attendance records, garnering a 5% increase over 2006 trade attendance. (Despite the conservative agenda, sex is still big business!)

That puts a smile on my face. Someone recently asked me, "Is this a long-term thing for you?" I had to think about that. When I first started writing erotica, I didn't have high expectations. Actually I didn't know what to expect. Even after I started publishing my erotica, I didn't have any future plans. I've always been a "let's see what happens" type of person.

Now it's time for me to think about my future goals in this business. I know that the smut writing isn't a short term thing. I enjoy what I do, and I think I'm good at it. I'm still weary of privacy issues. (I don't tell everyone what I do for a living.) So far this is working out. Will I be able to make a career of this? We'll see.
