Bee: "I blame the pollen."

Pollen: "It's not my damn fault, I'm just here minding my own business."

Farmer: "Look you crop dusting loons..."

I dunno. You're the one with the feminine wiles...

Wait? Females have willies?

WHY THE HELL WASN’T I TOLD THAT?!

 

[EmilyMiller]

I dunno. You're the one with the feminine wiles...

I have many feminine wiles…

1. Wile I should be sleeping, I end up PMimg people instead
2. Wile I should be working, I end up writing porn instead
3. Wile I could be writing porn, I waste time being goofy here instead
4. Wile I could be looking up the correct spelling and meaning of words, I end up typing them instead

One reason I like using the omniscient narrator is [they] can describe the emotional states of the characters. It's a lot of fun to write about the anticipation, the reaction to a finger tracing a line on their skin, etc...

I really gotta get on that one. And, er, 700k words or so of oneagainst's.

“d’oh! you just had the FMC take her panties off twice.”

Ha! Early in our dating, I played a prank on my wife by wearing 7 pair of decreasingly smaller briefs for her to deal with as we undressed each other. By about the fourth pair we were laughing so hard we almost forgot what we were there for.

Didn’t that cut off the blood supply?

"Meal ticket's doing it again."

"Should we worry?"

"Not yet. She's weathered it before. She should again."

"So stand down on Operation Tasty Face?"

"For now..."

Sex scenes are like salt. A little is fine, too much ruins the dish. I generally skim long involved sex scenes. I'd rather see great plot, a story told. Something that stirs my emotion and not just genitals.

I agree. The sex scenes get the least amount of work until it's time to do the work. It's there, what their doing, but the five senses stuff, emotional responces and detail is left for last.

 

[AchtungNight]

I find I edit my sex scenes less than plot-related stuff. It’s normally typos and “d’oh! you just had the FMC take her panties off twice.” They seldom get the structural overhauls that plot stuff does.

Oh yes. Sex is easy to write for me. It’s plot and character that’s rough.

That works often for many things, but first person gives a certain insight into the MC's real feelings and how he perceives those other's emotional states. I find both first and third person work well.

I just looked over one of your stories. You also use dialog well to show those emotional states. Too many of the omniscient narrators go off on tangents trying to tell the story from the sidelines.

Thanks. I thought I was a terrible writer and just wrote for a creative outlet. I suffer from imposter syndrome and have a hard time reconciling the scores my works have gotten. I am truly bad at grammar and saved by a good editor

I’m the opposite.

I can zone out with plot and character, it’s making the sex interesting that can be tough due to my naïveté and innocence.

 

[M_K_Babalon]

I don't think my sex scenes are all that routine. There is only so much you can do with sex, though, especially if your characters are bound in human physics.

I have to keep changing up my sex scenes to keep them interesting. My first one was a straight femslash 69 after a nude modeling session. Then I had to do a threesome with a bisexual virgin, car sex, shower sex, masturbation, post-breakup seduction, fisting, sapphic triangle, swapping in a swing club, guy on girl, romance, so on and so forth. I just submitted a Fetish story featuring outdoor sex during a thunderstorm.

Not sure yet what I’ll do next. I have many ideas.

 

[EroticCupcake]

I am wondering if I changed up a sex scene just because I'm tired of my own writing. The "vanilla" version may be the most appropriate thing for the characters...

 

[EmilyMiller]

I have a feeling @onehitwanda reached that crossroads in the past as well.

If she made a different decision than she did, we wouldn't have her well written stories to read.

I can't imagine she'd want all her efforts to better express herself to cause another author to give up their own necessary expression journey.

Real storytellers aren't wired that way.

Be a real storyteller. Definitely to others on their journey. Especially to yourself.

You’re right of course.

Just why does she have to be that good?

Just for the record - I wasn't writing anything near as imaginative as your Emma & Lily stuff in my twenties.
