SATISFY YOUR WRITER APPETITE : REVEAL YOUR HERO ’ S EMOTIONAL TRUTH By : Alice Orr
How do You Feel about Portraying Sexuality ? Your attitude will determine whether or not your love scenes succeed . Whether or not they appeal to readers in the audience you need to reach . A love scene that succeeds is one you should be proud of yourself for writing .
Love Scenes Must be Wonderful . Enriching to your story . Intense and tension-building . Never jarring because they come across as inserted to satisfy a formula . Too many writers include a love scene only because they think they have to . Unfortunately – that shows .
Love Scenes Must be Sensual . They excite all of the senses by making the reader feel what the characters are feeling . Love scenes must be the stuff of romantic fantasy and the stuff of reality at the same time . Never schmaltzy or awkward or – worst of all – devoid of love .
Make Your Love Scenes Loving . Not about taking rather than giving . Self rather than sharing . Lust without passion . In my experience our readership responds most positively to sexual love that gives and shares and does so with passion – in real life and in the books they will adore .
You Possess Storytelling Magic . Keep on Writing Whatever May Occur .
