I started writing erotica when I met a great guy who was serving in Iraq and started writing stories for him to help him through the days and weeks before he came back to the States. I've written other things - more scholarly works - with great results and feedback from some of the harshest critics.
In case you're wondering, the "great guy" mentioned above made it home from Iraq safely and continues to enjoy my stories. We've been friends for just over 11 years. He's become a wonderful addition to my life. All I can say is, Life is Good.
