Thank you for the reply and candor! :)

Hazel,

Questions at the bottom since you're busy; thanks for the answers (I found insight on splitting pen names especially helpful) and your time especially.

My writing has been described by a lot of people (including myself) as overflowing with purple prose, baroque, visceral overload, flowery language, and whatever else thanks to my fondness of formatting random shit.

Perhaps in spite of this, a very distinct word has come across many times from writers much more - in my opinion - capable than I (they also read!): a writer's voice.

I self-identify as a naïve artist with minimal exposure to the arts, if you will. I'd like to self-publish if only to say that I can or I did; in other words, I don't quite know why other than having a voracious ego.

I love writing but don't enjoy reading; the amount of editing work someone does in my wake is sometimes staggering when I look at the revision history in Google Docs.

- My range varies from pure metaphor and flowers to dripping wet cunts (I promise I read the other questions!), but is there an audience for a voice specializing in heavily kinetic/physicality based erotica from the female perspective?

And. If I may~ a follow-on that's more niche and "not your problem."

- How do you overcome impostor syndrome? I'm 31 and fancy myself without a creative bone in my body, only even thinking of writing just a year ago. I don't know how to handle positive reception or feedback and make it work for me.

All my best and have a wonderful day.
