The Duracell Story

[CharleyH]

So, I am participating in this survivour contest thing - no chance to win, but the challenge to write one in every cat. keeps me on my toes. Came up with an amazing story for Letters category, one that I hope is unique . . . well yes and no ... I am not fooling myself.

Was up at 5, researching, researching, and started writing by 10, with a few shopping breaks. On page 6 now, and feeling this story is never going to get to sex because I am having too much fun with research, getting the REAL details and REAL language down. But it is such a good story . . . message in a bottle theme, why ruin it with sex?

Anyone ever had this difficulty? And do you post here, or elsewhere (do NOT say non-erotic ... it will eventually be erotic if I ever get past the non-erotic writing, which is fun ... the problem is there are so many intricate details in spinning a 'real' story.

Anyone ever have a story that just kept going and going?

Yes. I'm currently editing and came across mention of a silk ribbon in a chapter written several months ago. It jerked my memory that the story originated in Challenge Club, the draft stands at 140k words.

Oiy, more than I have. Did you get to sex or did you say to yourself, not necessary?

Not necessary, though there is a good deal of sexual tension. The action happens after the last page.

Tit (not literally ) for tat?

Absolutamente.

A good story doesn't need sex...but innuendo might help. I know what you mean about the research part, it can be just as exciting as the story itself and often lead to new ideas for another story.

 

[CharleyH]

well it is an odd, but interesting story to be sure. Well real world mix mystery


NEON you are on! Well, my tit or tat.

 

[rgraham666]

Yeah, it's happened.

A couple of times now. I just found the lives of the characters more interesting than getting them into bed.

But I found a way.

If I could just do that in real life.

Just mentioned this in a nother thread. Had a story that just required too much set-up before the sex to make it worthwhile for Lit. So I ended up writing it as a non-erotic and now I have a full-blown novel on my hands.

What are you going to do with it?

 

[dr_mabeuse]

You've got a runaway story. Very often they jump the tracks and plow into a trailer park, so watch out.

My Magic In America story doesn't have any sex, though I had planned on sex when I started it. It just didn't go that way. You can still see the vestigial stumps of the sex story at the start, where I talk about the heroine's nipples, but that's the last time we hear anything about them.

I tried to get them into bed during the rewrite, but again no go, so I guess it'll end up in non-erotic.

Or you can try this: right in the middle of your non-erotic part, put in a double line break, a row of 5 asterisks, another break, and then: Meanwhile, in another part of town... followed by a gratuitous sex scene. Then abother break, more asterisks, and back to your story.

Well it is an amazing story, and I keep going and going and going. 6 pages and yet no sex. It is intriguing to me, as a writer, what the hell happend non-erotically. I am trying to explain, more than show, which is not good. I want him to have sex, he NEEDS TO, and maybe will 50 pages from now?

Maybe I will make it a romance? Weird story, weird, and I am talking off of the top of my head. Hm, will maybe post tomorrow in that story feedback, Yuk :| YIKES but maybe will just to see.

THANKS ZOOT, you make me 'see' sometimes.

 

[TxRad]

I've got the opposite problem at the moment... I'm playing with a non-erotic story and i have to keep beating it with a stick to keep the sex out..... "sigh' I'm about to give in and let it have it's head... the story that is....

 

[gauchecritic]

Sub-plots. They're interesting. Don't even really need to be part of the main. Or whole page footnotes. Walks out of McD's rest room and nearly catches his skin in the zip. Don't want to do that again. Dream sequence. Day dreams. Nightmares. Questions. What would you do if..? Watching someone else. Coming upon someone else. Cumming upon someone else. Disturbing the parents on a surprise visit. Almost as embarrassing as that time...
