Yesterday I didn’t prepare a blog
post and I’m having trouble getting one done today. I don’t have an excuse for
today (yet), but I have a good one for yesterday.
Instead of writing, I spent the
time reading the six (thought I only had four) chapters I’d written last year
for my next erotic romance novel. I was pleasantly surprised by finding two extra
chapters plus how well they all tied together. Now, I have to figure out where my
protagonists (Madeline and Spencer) go from here. I think I’ve written them
into a corner which may be why I stopped, so I need to find a way to yank them
back to the center so they can move on.
In a few words, Maddie applies
for an EA job at Spence’s company. His current EA made inappropriate advances
toward Spence after working for him for eight years and he can no longer work
with her. With the first handshake, both Maddie and Spence feel a “zing” which
only increases when Maddie has to attend a dress-up function with her boss the
first weekend they know each other. The outgoing EA has told Maddie why she’s
lost a job she loves, so how can Maddie react to the electricity between her
and Spence. And Spence, how can he continue to ignore how he feels and his body’s
response to Maddie when it’s totally against his conviction about dating/sex in
the workplace.
So, any ideas on how to get them
back to the center and having wild, crazy sex would be most appreciated.
Meanwhile, I’ll think about them as I go to sleep and perhaps dream the next
chapter.
And, just as an aside, I looked for "Erotic Novel Clipart" on the internet and had to choose to turn off a "safe" button. OMG, the clipart images that appeared on my screen after that weren't exactly erotic, or at least my definition of erotic, more like pornography. Won't be asking for those clipart images again.
