I really don't have a favorite fictional couple and generally most books I read are centered around a single hero or heroine.
However, if I'm not being too vain and full of myself, Foxy and Larry would be my favorite fictional couple. When I originally started writing smut stories, I wrote about things that we had done in the Lifestyle. Then later on Foxy and Larry, my fictional swinger couple, took on a life of their own.
Swinging often gets a bad rap and I can kinda understand that but once you're in the scene, it's nothing like most straight people would imagine. Typically most of the couples drink very little or social drinkers. Therefore we don't have people getting drunk and in a fight. Parties are a lot of fun and you can pretty much do what you want without your spouse getting jealous or mad at you.
The people you run with become closer than most of your family and there is an intimate bond between us (ignoring the obvious sex). Divorce is virtually non-existent and far less than the 50% average among straight people. Swingers don't cheat or have affairs assuming that sleeping with someone else's hubby/wife is not cheating. Everything is honest and above board.
Back to answering your question: The fictional couple Foxy and Larry are based loosely on Wifey and myself but embody all the fun things about the Lifestyle. I like to show swinging as the fun activity as it really is between real swingers.

I don't consider myself as terribly hard core about writing but I do carry a laptop with me and pound out a few pages when I have a few minutes of downtime. Most of my writing is done on the weekends when I can block out a decent amount of time to write. I tend to get involved in the story and if I have the time can really churn out the work.
I still have my day job, which will probably be with me for a long time. I write because I've found that I really enjoy it and that's primarily why I write. I've always enjoyed reading and one day I said, "I can do that!" I sat down to try my hand and found that it came pretty naturally to me. I've been writing smut for about 3 years and doing reasonably well. Sales are good and increasing, so I really can't complain too much.
You do need to be able to have enough time to do serious writing and support from your significant other. We have a fairly hectic social life but that works out well as I get a lot of ideas for future stories.
From your question I assume that you are interested in trying your hand at being a scribe, so I'd recommend that you go for it. I've watched a number of people crash and burn so not everyone is cut out to be an author but who knows, give it a try.
Anything else, message me back.

I guess the best thing about being a writer is that you can let your imagination soar and cover any topic that you can picture.

I've become interested in writing about Hotwife and Cuckold fantasizes as a number of my friends are involved in it plus I have a lot of online friends in that kink.

I have a vivid imagination and coupled with the fact we live in Las Vegas and are swingers, there are a lot of things that give me ideas on new stories.

I've just finished the draft of a 47,000 word story about a housewife, who at age 40 becomes a hotwife and turns her husband into a cuckold. The story has a number of interesting twists to it and contains a lot of graphic sex scenes that will get you hot. Watch for the story to come out on SmashWords and Amazon in a couple of weeks. Check back here for a discount coupon to grab the story.

Accept advice on your writing with a grain of salt. If you are writing to please an audience then you have to write what they want to read. For myself, I write what I enjoy reading and hopefully my readers like it also. I believe if you're writing to please someone else, it shows.

Generally I go to my favorite fast food restaurant and grab a large coffee. Being away from all of the distractions at home seems to allow me to focus on my story and with WiFi and DropBox, it's easy to work away from home with my laptop.
