The dictionary actually makes the word sexy sound boring.
What I really want to know is what PEOPLE find sexy about each other. Is it eye contact? A certain way someone smiles? A physically fit body? An attitude?

It could be the clothes one wears.

Me? At the top of my list would be confidence. But not arrogance.

What do you think is sexy?

I’m just over half way through this novella, and I sorta want to finish it, but part of me just doesn’t care if I do. However, I’m not moving on until it’s done. So I’m stuck.

Does this happen to you? DO you get all excited at the start of a new project and fly through the begining, but stall in the middle? Is this just me?

Is it a personality thing or is it a writing thing? I’ve had other writers tell me I stall because I want my characters to do something they don’t want to do. I don’t think that’s it at all. I think it’s more like, I’m bored with them so let’s move on. BUT I do actually like these characters, I’m just not interested in working on them. Is this some form of procrastination I have? It happened when I wrote my first novel last summer too. I was about 40 pages from the end and I finally just wrote the final scene, knowing that I was leaving alot undone in the middle, but not caring. I just wanted to write THE END.

So now I’m stuck not knowing if I should give up on this and move on, or push through. Ok I know I should push through, but I’m having a hard time doing it…This is just my whine to make me see what an idiot I’m being.:plain:

I’m going to write now. :satisfied:

I had the chance to get off work early last night and I took it. And I went out dancing. I must say, it’s been a while since I’ve been out dancing like that and I am feeling the effects a little bit today!

We went to a local gay bar and it was great fun. The music was fantastic and the people just don’t care about what your doing. Of course that means you get even more outrageous in your behaviour. Or at least I do. :hehe:

Nothing much happening in my life today. I didn’t work out when I got up, but I did sit at the computer and get some writing done. This story with Caleb and Gina keeps growing and changing in my mind until it’s a completely different story than the one I set out to write.

I am trying to push through it all though and just finish it. In my mind I can go back and layer in alot of the changes….but if I do everything that’s popping into my head this novella may just turn into a full novel. :satisfied:

Courtesy of Alison Tyler, a phenomenal erotica writer, and the editor of Down & Dirty 2, I have another copy to give away!! :hehe:

To win this copy you just have to be the first person to tell me, correctly, where my story in Wicked Words 8 takes place. The answer is, of course, in the excerpt.

Cheers!

Today I received the feedback package from COFW’s Ignite The Flame Contest. I’d entered the first 13 pages of The Devil Inside, Gina and Caleb’s story.

Well, I didn’t even come close to finalling. My scores placed me at 11 out of 16. :( However, I’m very glad I entered it. The feedback is fantastic! The judges pointed out a lot of small things I can do to make my ms stronger, things that I should’ve been paying attention to. Much better than the last contest where I got low scores and no feedback! I would enter this contest again. :)

Although, I do have one gripe. What’s with this fixation with my grammar? I just don’t understand how a lack of comma’s can be such a big deal. It wasn’t a big deal to the editors I’ve sold short stories to. And I’ve even had a couple of travel articles published, and non-fiction is much more strict with grammar than fiction. I just don’t get it. Is it such a big deal because this is romance and the short stories are erotica? Or is it because the judges are supposed to pick apart every little thing?

I didn’t know Barbie could be so bad! ;)

You’re Exotic Dancer Barbie. You have some moves,
and will do anything for a few bucks. Take it
off girl, but keep it PG-13 please.

I went to Chapters book store this weekend for a refrence book on writing. I didn’t find what I was looking for. :( And of course I couldn’t leave with out taking a stroll through the fiction stacks.:hehe: Low and behold, a book cover caught my eye. :O Jane’s Warlord by Angela Knight. Needless to say I’m finished it now and highly recomment this to anyone that like a bit “more” to thier stories. The recipe of romance + fantasy + thriller threaded thoughout with an electric eroticism makes this one great page turner.
