Happy Friday!

How's everyone's week been? I submitted Phantom Fears to Evernight and did some work on a new wip, although I've been feeling a bit "meh" about that for the past couple of days, so I don't really know what the future holds for that. Part of me is itching to get stuck into an Ethan novel, part of me wants to do some wild and wacky world building

i'm stuck on the veruca and finn sex scene because i can't even seem to get past the fact that they're kissing. i want to get some sweet making out and heavy petting and then leave the rest faded to black but i feel like i'm inept suddenly at writing anything even vaguely sexual. it's been so long since i've even kissed anyone that i have no idea what to write. also, it's depressing me.

so i'm trying to work on some other things but nothing feels like it's accomplishing anything so i just feel stuck in limbo with my whole writing everything right now.

I know it's a bit trite, but are there any books you really like the sex scenes in? You could try re-reading for inspiration.

I generally skip sex scenes, honestly. I skim them, but for the most part I get nothing from them so I don't read many. I have been thinking about rereading a bunch of the In Death books for inspiration, though, since Robb's sex scenes tend to focus more on the emotional side of the sex than the physical, which I think really works for this book.

Yeah, I much prefer that style to the more...technical sex scenes urban fantasy tends to have. Although some go too far the other way...Avoid Jeaniene Frost like the plague. I think one of her sex scenes lasted an entire chapter and the heroine passed out halfway through out of sheer love.
