In another writing forum, someone asked more or less: ‘How can I write strong sex scenes without turning everything into Twister: the Adult Version’?
I’m a big fan of letting emotion and the character’s internal reactions drive everything, more than just a ‘insert Tab A into Slot B’ sex scene. But everyone has different likes and dislikes…so I was really glad to direct the questioner to Scorching Reviews and the current championship. It’s homework and research, really. See how other authors wrote hot, hot scenes that actually got published…
Yeah, right, it’s just homework.
Swing by for today’s lessons at Round Seven: Tessa Bailey vs Kit Rocha. Snippet 1: (M/F) one woman’s illicit fantasy becomes daring reality. Snippet 2: (M/F) slow and intense hits the spot.
Then try Round Eight: Ayla Ruse vs Ambrielle Kirk. Snippet 1: spicy drinks and semi-public pleasure heat up a M/F/M futuristic menage. Snippet 2: (M/F) turnabout is fair play.
Remember, you have 48 hours to judge entries from the time they’re posted over at Scorching Book Reviews. So take your time, re-read, go check out the authors’ buy links and other work. Then make sure you vote.
You’ll get up to three chances per entry to win the ‘Carnelian Spice’ necklace or a whole bunch of other prizes, just for playing along and making this championship a major blog event.
