It’s Friday again and time for me to blog…  The problem?  I’ve been so busy with my new book that I have no idea what to talk about.

The book I’m writing is an old story that I wrote last year.  It’s novel-length, full of adventure and discovery, and the romance  still makes me smile and sigh.  But although readers I’ve shown it to loved it, when I read I can see that it’s not to publishing standards.  Parts fall flat, dialogue has too many flashy tags (he spat, she cried, he roared *laughing*)  During and since writing this story I have learned a great deal about the art of writing, plot, flow, *cough* and dialogue.  And I really think that I can do it justice if I rewrite. 

So you’re sitting there wondering why I want to rewrite an old story since it needs so much work.  One reason:  The sex is so god damn HOT!!  I mean the story is fine, needs work but alright, but the real romance and excitement comes out in those sex scenes.  It’s right there that he first sees his heroine as different to every other woman he’s met, it’s during sex that he discovers the kind of woman she is, the kind of man he wants to be, and the kind of love they could share, if he allowed himself to let her in to his life.

And I suppose that’s why I chose to write erotic romance.  I can plug out an okay story if I want to, but it’s during the love scenes that I really sparkle, that my characters really come into themselves. 

I mean the way a man touches the woman in his bed really does show a great deal about his character. 

He flipped her easily onto her stomach, ignoring her indignant cry.  Gripping her hips he thrust his cock home and exhaled loudly with the rush of intense pleasure.  Fuck - he wasn’t going last long, already he could feel his climax tightening his balls.

*laughing* he may as well be with a blowup doll

He flipped her easily onto her stomach, a smile twitching his mouth at her indignant cry.  Laying his weight over her smaller body he pressed his rock hard erection against her bottom and growled into her ear.

“Mine”  He felt her shiver at the word and punctuated his point by running a line of hot wet kisses down her throat and across her shoulder.   ”Say it.”

See the difference?  I love these little differences.  It’s during sex that we see our characters at their most vulnerable and using their most basic elements.  If one charcter is a submissive that might not show in the general plot, but it will definately show during sex.

So what’s my point?  Well no point really I just wanted to share.
