Also love to write f/m stories.Thanks everyone

Frankwayne50 , I noticed that nobody had responded to your post from a couple days ago. Maybe someone sent you a private message, but if not, I don't think it's because they mean to ignore or discourage you; it's just that how to write a story is such a broad and generalized question, we don't know where to begin. And I'm sure different authors all have their own techniques.
Generally speaking, I start by using my imagination to envision a scenario I think would make a good story. Before I start writing, I work through a plot in my mind that explains how we came to the point of someone getting a spanking, and what are the results. (The spanking scene may be the centerpiece, but I think a good tale needs a backstory that is interesting apart from the spanking itself. And an unexpected plot twist or surprise at the end can prevent it from being too predictable.) I consider the characters I will use and try to imagine them as real people. What are they like? How would they feel, think, act, and speak in the situation I'm putting them in? As the story unfolds, I try to make the action and dialogue realistic and consistent with the characters' personalities as I've created them. Readers can suspend disbelief up to a point, but do actions make sense, seem reasonable, and ring true within the context I've created?
Once I have the basics worked out, I start from the beginning and describe to readers what I'm seeing in my mind, while adding necessary details and dialogue. I need to give readers enough information to understand the context but not get bogged down with too much boring detail. Some things can be left to the readers' imagination. I may choose to tell it from the viewpoint of one of the characters, an invisible third-party observer, or an omniscient narrator who can see the thoughts and emotions of each character. Then it's just a matter of choosing words and phrases to make the narrative flow while allowing readers to imagine in their minds what I'm seeing in mine. (My word processor's thesaurus is my best friend while doing this.) After I've written it, I go back and look at it from a reader's perspective, see if it accurately conveys what I was trying for, and edit if necessary.
Of course, that's just an overview, and the devil is in the details. I suggest you pick out a few stories you've really enjoyed reading and study the authors' styles. Then give it a shot!

That's an excellent summary of how to go about it! Good luck, frankwayne50.

One thing you might try doing is to get a short existing story, perhaps a fairy tale which you know completely in your head, and try writing it in your own words. That way you'll notice which bits are the important bits, which bits need some description, ("Goldilocks' hair shone like the sun-screened bottom of a beach beauty basking on a summer's day") and which bits are best left a bit sparse. This would let you practice without getting tired with your own actual story idea which you can get on to later.

I tend to write what I like, in a style I enjoy reading, and I find the more I write, the better I seem to get, just as I did so many years ago in English Comp classes. Writing is a contact sport. I wrote several stories that no one but me will ever see, long before I ever wrote something to submit to this site. I also tend to write what I know, implements, issues, consequences, all stuff I've seen or experienced.

I think RyanRowland had given you an excellent summation of how to come up with a story, but since I do things differently than most people I'll explain my process. I don't work on a single story start to finish very often, I usually have several up and running at various stages of completion. Like RR I envision the basic scenario/plot, but what I do is create a file and put those elements into bullet points. For example:

- Tell story from Dad's perspective
- Teen girl out past curfew
- Tries to sneak in but Dad waiting for her
- Been having issues with her --> backfill
- Have to end problem now
- She refuses to be sorry/repentant/too old to spank
- Dad proves her wrong, punish immediately despite how late
- What implement --> belt, paddle, hand?
- Howling wakes up younger sister witnesses/enjoys show
- Going to get teased unmercifully later --> backfill history of harassing each other
- Flees to room without redressing --> comment on red bottom
- Dad summation --> problem solved for now/lesson learned?

Then I fill in the information around the bullet points to turn it into a complete story, but I might not work on them sequentially. For example, I might come up with the wording I wanted for the history of their sibling rivalry before I've decided what she's getting spanked with. Like I said, most people don't write stories that way, but at least putting your plot into bullet points might help you flesh your story out.

I also agree with what RR said about making sure your story sounds believable. The corollary to that would be, if you know it's not going to be plausible make sure that it's over-the-top enough that people recognize it as such. I have an ongoing series that is completely beyond plausibility and I write it in such a way that hopefully no one seriously thinks that such a place could really exist.

Also, don't worry about trying to please everybody because it won't happen because of our varied tastes. There are some people that are avid fans of the "Misogyny" series but overall they're not particularly well read compared to most of my stories because of the content. Just write what appeals to you.

And don't drive yourself crazy trying to write the perfect story. At a certain point it becomes "paralysis by analysis." Just give it your best shot and then submit it. This is a forgiving bunch and the existing authors will gladly offer suggestions. And improvement will come over time; I know the stories I submit now are more cohesive than the first ones I sent.

And finally, congratulations on being ready to take the plunge; I was a member here for years before I felt confident enough to try submitting a story. We always welcome new authors into our little collective.

Okay, climbing down off my soapbox...
