#WritersCoffeeClub #Writng June 4: How do you handle highly intimate scenes? 1/2

Depends on the nature of the intimacy.

Some of my best intimate scenes include

A) One character bushing another person's hair. They end up in a pillow fight.

B) The narrator dealing with the LI having a meltdown over the narrator only giving them compliments on their looks.

C) LI gives the narrator permission to call them by a personal nickname.

I often find in close intimate conversations one character will find they no longer have words to say what they want. So I end up using ellipses. I also use ellipses to show how characters start saying something and then editing what they want to say. "you should... we should.

If you mean sex, it's just another action scene. There may also be intimate portions of the scene.

#wordweavers #writng 24. While drafting, do you avoid or binge-watch similar material?

Neither. I read what I want to read. On occasion, I will read things that contain an idea I want to develop. It's called research. The only time I think I ever truely binged though was reading the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft before writing a Lovecraft pastiche.

#PennedPossibilities #Writng 313 — Is your MC or SC one to confess romantic feelings early on, or to conceal them for long periods of time?

Traditionally: My narrative character takes a long time to confess romantic feelings and the LI is all over it right from the start.

In my WIP the characters are Disaster Lesbians so they are having a great deal of trouble confessing their feelings.
