TreSart L. Sioux
Today’s blog guest is the extremely lovely TreSart L. Sioux, erotica author, artist, and photographer extraordinaire. TreSart also has a short story entitled “Aiyana’s Affair With Mother Nature” coming out with Logical-Lust Publications this month, and another soon after. It will add to what is an already growing portfolio of publishing successes for TreSart!
Those successes include the story “Unpacking an Adventure” in the superb anthology “SWING! Adventures in Swinging by Today’s Top Erotica Writers” published by Logical-Lust Publications.
How/when did you decide to become a writer?
Years ago, my lover at the time and I created a story for Reader’s Digest and we won something like $50. I didn’t think much about it until later on in life I joined erotica-readers. Slowly I began to create flashers and stories. It’s been a wonderful process and I’ve loved meeting so many talented folks.
Describe your experience getting published for the first time. Would you have done anything differently?
I never thought I would be published until a friend of mine kept pushing me to submit to Renaissance. I did, and really wasn’t expecting anything, but when I found out they liked my writing I think I about fainted. Needless to say, I had a party that evening! I don’t think I would have done anything different because it’s a growing process. I feel my stories run a lot smoother now, but there are always ways of improving, and I take every crit seriously even if at the end I decide not to change.
Does your family/significant other know and support your writing? What do they think?
Yes, everyone supports my writing. They all think it’s wonderful that I’m able to do something I love.
I’m single and loving every second of it! I don’t think at the moment I could find a woman that could put up with my work schedule. I’m dedicated and my career comes first. Now I really sound like a bitch. LOL!
My Nana laughed when she found out what I wrote and made me promise to one day create a kids book. 
Does your writing turn you on?
Lordy! If my writing didn’t turn me on, I wouldn’t send it out for folks to read. You just have to have the passion!
What makes your writing different from your peers? What kind of reading experience can you give your audience?
I think because I create such a variety of stories. Some are funny, sadistic and horror related, but they have my own twist. I want the audience to keep reading, wondering what’s going to happen next. I also want to turn them on.
My goal is to take them away for a few hours to another place. Let them be with the characters I’ve created and hopefully relate in some form.
Who or what has been your best teacher when it comes to writing?
I’ve learned from various people. I’ve been slammed with folks telling me I could do better than what I created which makes me work even harder.You have to be able to take the crits/nits, but I will never let anyone change my style of writing.
When I was attending Camden College, the art teacher told me that I wasn’t a true artist because I wasn’t following her rules. Little did she know that since high school I had won several art competitions and had exhibits with people twice my age.
I will always remember my high school art teacher telling me to never let anyone change my artistic talent. My junior year I was in an advanced art class that held only 6 students. I’m proud of my accomplishments!
Now I own a small art company that I run from my home and love every second!
Generally speaking, what do you develop first? Plot or characters?
Another thing I don’t do. My stories come out of me. The only type of outline I will do is just characters and descriptions of them.
I guess you could say it hits all at once. I know the type of characters and where I want the story to go.
Do you preview your work to reader groups or fans?
Yes. On my erotic site I will post the first two chapters of a book along with flashers. Belonging to several reader groups has been a big plus also. They can help you in so many different areas.
What is one of the nicest things a critic or fan has said about your work?
I love them all, but I really enjoy hearing that it turned them on, or if it is one of my comedy/erotica that it made them laugh. With the variety of subjects I write about, I get mixed emotions. I can write one hell of a dark story. Variety is always a good thing in my eyes.
What is your philosophy on writing?
I write from the heart, but also have been trying new areas that I never thought I would. I love to do research and just let everything else flow. If you believe in yourself and what you are truly capable of accomplishing then you have no excuses.
My God, I sound like an after school special!
