A New Venture...

This is my first post on my goodreads blog, and I must say, I'm excited.

A published fantasy author, I am venturing forth into the world of the Romance Novelist, and I can't wait to get started.

My first romantic tale, Written, was published this month, and I'd love if it you had a quick peek at it. (The link is listed below for you.)

I hope to deal with my experiences and what I have learned while writing this blog, in the hope that it will make me a better writer, and that I can get to know some of you lovely people out there...

So, what did I learn about myself when writing this piece of work? Many things, but the first thing to deal with is probably sex...

With this story, I found myself dealing with sex for the first time. I know what you're thinking, a literary sexual virgin? Yes, I have to admit that it is something I have always avoided in my other work. It hasn't felt necessary. So, I decided to throw away my prudery and have some sex scenes in the book (don't panic, it's not erotica), but for me, it was pretty steamy.

I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself once I got started, and the cut and thrust of a hot and steamy scene came a lot easier to me than I thought it would. Hopefully I managed to capture the heat between my characters without being gratuitously raunchy.

I actually dealt with this very issue in the story itself, as the main character is actually writing her first love scenes herself. Hers are a bit more bodice ripping than those she experiences with her own lover, but clothes are torn asunder...

Let me know what you think!
Till next week,
Keep Reading!

Helen Stephens Hey Rebecca,
Congrats on your first blog post!

I'm with you on the writing of sex scenes. I just had my first novel published and included sex scenes which I found difficult to write at first. The first one made me blush and I kept looking across at my other half to check he couldn't see what I was writing because I felt so embarrassed. But after a couple it got really easy.

Good luck with it anyway

Rebecca Curran Hehe... Thanks.

I was exactly the same. He used to like looking over my shoulder and snickering at what I was writing, and I'd feel so embarrassed.

Still, I'm glad I've done it now. I feel more experienced, as a writer that is... ☺
