Some of the best advice I heard just recently was to write sex scenes as if nobody was ever going to read them, especially your mother. Just let yourself go! I wish I'd heard that advice ages ago!<br /><br />Best of luck with 'Desire and Deception.'<br /><br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-82448705435216882212011-04-04T20:40:54.533-04:002011-04-04T20:40:54.533-04:00Hi Sally--

First naughty scene and f-bomb dropped was like opening a window and taking flight. Too much sex? Never!

Thank you for allowing me to be your ...Hi Margie--<br /><br />Thank you for allowing me to be your guest today. What a fun group of readers! Yes, it is hard to get over ourselves, isn't it? The key is to finding a safe space to build up your self confidence, then taking increasingly bigger risks. Thanks to MRW and RWA, I finally found my writing niche and the courage to be bolder. Erotic romance was NOT my first foray into writing. I built on horror, mystery and romance pubs--then realized that story HAD to be the way it was. Without my previous experiences, I would have doubted my voice and my sanity!

Loved, loved your post. <br /><br />One of my favorite lines from the movie Fame, is when Mr.Shorvsky (Sp?) tells Bruno (the pianist) that not sharing the music he creates is like masturbation, because you're only pleasing yourself. LOL. <br /><br />I kind of always thought that about writing, so it was good to see another writer voice the same thought :)Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-78844751358736709522011-04-04T13:14:07.132-04:002011-04-04T13:14:07.132-04:00Happy Monday, Sharon!

And as for too much sex, it makes me think of one of my all time favorite country songs, "Too Much Fun"....seriously, I ain't never had too much fun or too much sex!!!
