ISBW #62 - Sex
Agent rejection #22 came this week! I had coffee with Cory Doctorow this week, and he made me think.
Sex- are writing sex scenes too personal? Not if you do it right. Dan Savage’s Savage Love column.
I go on a bit of a tangent: I want to hear if you’re applying for Viable Paradise this year!
I talk about paranormal pr0n - I mean paranormal romance. Forgive me Kiki. Don’t win the Worst Sex Scene award!
Phil Rossi asks about First Readers, and Jake Hazelip mentions Wiki Travel.
I’ll be interviewing Colette from the Rules for the Revolution podcast.

I was in the car listening to this podcast while my wife was driving. She asked me to stop because I was being annoying with my laughing. Great podcast! Thanks for that.

I love the ‘a nude versus you nude’ comparison. It’s so true!
I’m forever telling people that no, your sex scenes aren’t *you* (although for certain people, a little wishful thinking can go a long way…).
It’s not just a sex scene thing, but nowhere do people presume more than when we talk about what goes on behind bedroom doors.
Great show, you made me laugh lots.
And *hug* Rejections stink. but until you hit 100 agent rejections, you haven’t started looking yet.

The reader of your sex scene doesn’t think that’s the sex you are having, they think it’s the sex you want to have.
That makes it worse but that’s how I see it. Sorry.
