Help? How can I write this?

[Hiryu]

Hiya all,

This may be a bit hard for me to say but...
I'm thinking of writing a story. A first person narative about some random thing-- Mostlikely it will involve a humorious interpretation of the netherworld according to easter philosophy and bla bla bla-- However I would like a few tips on writing...

First, how are people able to properly represent the views and imagery of the opposite sex in a believable way to one who is of that gender?

Next, once the writer sets the mood how would they go about introducing humor into the scene without disrupting the intimacy and feeling that the scene is supposed to portrey?

Finaly, Is there anything I should know before I compose this story?

Hiryu, Hi nice to meet you. Welcome!

If I write out a 4k word essay you still will be lost. You really gave a lot of nothing in your question. Let me start out by saying you might be well advised to go to the story area and under "How to" read some of the best ways to answer these questions.

First question reality and research. Learn your character and associate him/her with a real person.

Second question Humor is no different than in real life. Crack a joke! Have fun! But be realistic you don't walk into a funeral and start up with Andrew dice clay jokes?

If two people are intimate and share a rose wine covered evening Rodney Dangerfield does not belong in the middle. Or if he does it is normally to break the tension or cover for a mistake.

Let's say for a moment to lovers are tumbling about on the floor. The girl breaks wind by mistake. Well, in this case the man might make a joke or cover for the awkwardness of the moment.

If they are rolling on the floor getting realy romantic and hot. This would not be a good time for the guy to start playing "I Got Your Nose Game"!


Last question Yes netherworld does not exist! You should seek the help of an editor when finished as it is real hard to find your own mistakes. You will always overlook the obvious to you.

Welcome:

1: Writing from the perspective of the oposite sex is either very easy, very hard or somewhere in between depending on who you ask. I cannot write men in a sexual situation, I just cannot get into a guy's head enough to think for him and thus my attempts at male characters in sex scenes read like Conan the barbarian with a hardon or Richard Simmons. Some authors can do it and do it well, both males who write from the Femme perspective and women who write from the masculine POV. You rbest course is to read some of the authors here, find someone who is making the kind of mental strech you wnat to and has done it well and PM them with specifi questions. Most of the Ah gane are great about responding and free with insights and advice.

2: i put humpr into a lot of my sex scenes, not for the humor valuse, so much as because sex dosen't allways work out perfectly and I feel readers can sympathise with bedroom keyston cops happenings, most of us have experienced them. So during the shower scene one of my characters goes to suck on her partner and gets soap in her mouth, or my butch is using a jelly dildo, tries to drive it in and it just bends. Humor and intimacy are not mutually exclusive, but it is best to know which is your primary focus. I suggest Ogbashan's gulliver's travels story as an excellent reference. You cannot get more intimate with a woman than themain character, but at the same time it's extremely comical.

3: The main thig to know is that it's your story and if it's your first don't hesitate to ask advice and don't hesitate to reject that which don't like. With few exceptions the people in this forum are glad to help. There are however as many different ways to go about telling a tale as there are writers so find the style that is your own.

Good Luck,
