Link: Tips to Writing Great Love Scenes

[Clair deLune]

writing-world.com/romance/love.shtml

I found this article while looking around for advice on how to write romance (since I'm not very romantic myself and don't read romance novels) and it is by far the most helpful thing I've found.  I wanted to share it with my fellow writers here.  ruthmadison shared a link on the snowflake method of writing a novel (which is basically the above-and-beyond version of an outline) and it was extremely helpful, so I thought I'd pass this along to anyone here who would find it interesting.

Also, if anyone reads this article and thinks it's giving bad advice (or good advice, really) it'd be interesting to share why!

I will check it out....it is sometimes difficult to write love scenes I think, especially when it includes a disabled character...on the occasions of writing a sex/love scene I kind of follow my gut instinct...not sure if that is bad or good.. ...

Scene: lots of spasms… "Hey baby want a chair ride, WEEEEEEE"

Thanks for the link clairdelune, it is something I need to practise. I worry my love scenes sound like a car manual or the instructions to twister. I am reading Lillie cole's Sweet Home and there are loads of references to him touching 'her heat'. I will give it a read tomorrow and report back

tabby, that's how I'd initially approach a love scene as well, hence why I went looking for a better way to do it!
