Not REAL sex, of course. What kind of nutball would avoid that? No, I’m talking about The Big Important Sex Scene. As in, the writing of.
I always, ALWAYS flake out during those. No idea why. But give me a sex scene to write, and I develop a sudden, irresistible urge to go for a run, or watch Patrick Wolf videos — okay, so I like watching the Wolf-boy ANY time so that doesn’t count — or brainstorm the next book. Sometimes I even mop O_O
Right now, Leon and Grim have been in bed for like three days. That’s a bit much, I think. They got off, FINALLY, just this evening, so I guess the Snuggling and Serious Discussion will go by somewhat quicker. That part comes easy to me.
heh, I said “comes”

So, any idea how to break the Avoiding the Sex Scene habit? The faster I get those done, the more books I can crank out!

Wish I could tell you how to avoid it, but I do the same thing. It’s amazing the things I can find do to instead of writing a sex scene. So very weird seeing as the sex is always central to my stories.

I write them in snippets myself. I tend to go back and forth over “ohh, a sex scene” and “what’s at stake?”
