Argh, a Sex Scene
Dec. 5th, 2008 11:38 amSo I'm writing along and I've gotten to that point (today is a "Tate" day) when I need to write a sex scene....
Sex is one of those things I find very hard to write. I could never be an erotica writer. I think it's because writing, for me, is a very vunerable act in general. Even when I'm writing things that could easily be considered "fluff," there's a lot of me -- my soul -- that goes onto the page. Writing sex scenes feel like doing my private boogie in public, you know? And with that comes all the performance anxiety I might suffer TIMES TWENTY.
Plus, I worry that I'm just not that interesting in bed... at least, so that a large audience might enjoy the show.
Ugh.
Wish me luck
