catching up
Given the fact that I lost almost three days to a virus, I did okay in the last week in terms of word count. A total of 6,280 words, which is only 800 shy of where I wanted to be. This week I'll try to catch up.
Right now I am writing a sex scene. I haven't written a full blown, extended, explicit sex scene in a while, so I'm feeling my way moving forward carefully. The two people in question are a little angry at each other, which provides an interesting edge. One of them has turned out to be much more ... forceful than I had imagined. Once a character strips down and gets busy, I learn a lot about them. It's a little disconcerting, actually. I feel like a voyeur, which doesn't really interest me otherwise. She said firmly.
A note: a very kind and loyal reader in Scotland wrote to me recently:
I just wanted to mention I have a started a Into the Wilderness group through Yahoo! and wondered if you could let your fans know. I would love to be able to talk about your books with other people who love the books as much as I. I had noticed you didn't have your discussion page on your website so I decided to add a group!
Shona didn't actually give me the url of the Yahoo group. So: Shona, could you please post that here, or email it to me?
Those readers who have been around for a while will note that this idea has come full circle. The first Wilderness discussion board was on Yahoo, and a very good group it was, too. I hope Shona will be able to get something going.
