Damn it, I had just found it in Megan Fox’s happy bags, too.

Nope. Makes no sense, Scionic. It’s just you. You’ve lost your mind.

…

Okay, yeah, it makes total sense. Tension and pacing. Got it. My brain’s on it.

Yup. I’m not so much worried about writing the sex scenes themselves, even though reading my 2am post seems that way. More coping with writing erotica and not giggling every time I say boobies (and… not writing the word boobies in my story). On reflection, I can see that is really more a matter of maturity, and I am highly unlikely to attain that any time soon. More to point- pacing.

In screenplays it’s easier to control pacing, because you know 1 page = 1 minute and you can control beats through the story. I am concerned about pacing where it applies to tension. People Koontz and King have a natural ability to create suspense, and while I am fairly good at writing things that are fast paced I get really clumsy with (for example) setting the mood when Jason is chasing down Boobies McDeadcamper.

Does that make any sense?

Editing techniques, got it. Not sure that I’d have anything great to say about game design of indie v. established, but it’s worth a shot. And then, pacing + erotica. (Have you seen my post on writing sex scenes, Scionic?)

Alright, here’s one. I have been hit with massive inspiration for a horror/thriller story, and I mean this motherfucker is singing to me. But… it’s also erotica. Any advice for not feeling like a pervert (And giggling… and avoiding the phrase “heaving bosom”)? And pacing; if I do this, I’d hate to be… premature. *Smirk*

Was unaware anyone else used the term “pizza bones.”

And the surprises keep on coming.

So, really, Pets + Deception = A Formula For Success. Diggit.

Lie to your cats, too. They’ll probably know you’re lying and continue to plot your demise, but the prospect of a frolic outside might stay their wrath another day.
