Bethany Fine's Blog

Bonjour, Lovers!

This is a new segment of this blog called “Erotic Artist of the Month,” where I plan on introducing you to a new artist exploring the world of ertoicism and sexuality through art.

So … without further ado:

Erotic Artist of the Month – March 2018

Flour Power by MissSouls

MissSouls is the DeviantArt username of an amazing woman from German who explores various themes of human nature through the lens of erotica. My favorite piece of hers is title “Flour Power” which calls to mind a sculpture from antiquity. There is a sense of passion between the two figures locked in embrace, and yet there is also a sense of connection and belonging. The way in which the fabric seems to meld the two figures together speaks to a unity between them. Yes, there is longing, but there is also belonging.

This piece, in particular, belies the typical pornographic sense of erotica we’ve become so accustomed to. This is erotic, yes, but it’s also sensual and emotional. There’s an art to it beyond the titilation of two nude figures locked in embrace, and the way the flour and the fabric work together to recreate the sense of stone dust and powder, bringing to mind sculptures from the Renaissance adds a certain gravitas to the image.

What do you think of MissSoul’s work? Leave a comment in the section below, or better yet, visit her page and tell her how much you love her work!

If you have a favorite artist you’d like to see featured here, send me a note in the Contact section of this page.

I received notice today that neither of my short stories were accepted for Rachel Kramer Bussel’s anthology “Best Women’s Erotica of the Year” 2016. This wasn’t my first rejection, nor, I’m certain, will it be my last. Each rejection, however, does put me in a confusing state of mind. I am a self-published author. I […]

I swear I am writing, but the process is so slow. Between work and life, and the three novels I am trying finish, I don’t feel like I’m getting anything accomplished. For those of you following this blog, please know I haven’t forgotten about you. I will have another short up soon and I am […]

Writing is hard work. Don’t ever let anyone tell you anything different. Writing is a full-time job for me. I put in an average of forty-five hours each week dedicated solely to writing (I also put in roughly fifty-five hours a week at another full-time job, just to pay the rent). It’s true, writing does […]

It’s been almost an entire year since my last post, and I have nothing to say for myself. This blogging thing isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. I forget that it’s here, and life sometimes has a way of making things like this a low priority. I’m back now, and planning on making this […]

So… the first short story is written.  The cover art is complete.  All of the front and back matter appropriate for a short story of only 10,000 words is complete.  What is the next step on my self-publishing journey?  Actual publishing.  But, here’s where it gets tricky. It might seem like a breeze to simply […]

Well, I have finally finished my rough draft, and three revisions, of my first short story intended for publication on Amazon’s Kindle platform.  The purpose of this short story is to learn the ups and downs of navigating Amazon’s KDP so I fully understand the process before attempting to self-publish a longer novel. This has […]

So… this week I spent some time writing my first erotic story meant for publications.  Like many novice authors, I have written plenty of stories in the past that were never meant to be published.  There are definitely trials and errors that any author will go through on the journey to publication, and I suppose […]

Today’s post will be a quick one. I spent nearly a week struggling with my Twitter account. I have sent several email requests to Twitter asking them to update their Captcha software and to unsuspend my account, only to receive several automated template replies that have been completely unhelpful. Hopefully the Twitter account will be […]

Hello, and welcome.  I guess that’s what I should start with.  How are you?  Well, I hope.  I’d like to welcome you to my blog, and officially introduce myself.  My name is Bethany Fine, and I am an author of erotica fiction.  That almost sounds like an introduction to a support group, doesn’t it?  Perhaps […]
