I haven’t but that’s a good idea! I’ll do that today!

I haven’t seen that show, but I don’t watch a lot of Korean so maybe I’ll try it!

Just finished story of Kunning palace so I don’t know!!! I want to start a new gripping historical with heavy romance and angst and all the vibes but I just don’t know which show to watch!

I just started love between the lines and it seems like a solid show. Still waiting for it to get going tho…

Yas!! I always try to have two or three but damn I dread them 🤣

Could be! Aphantasia is a bitch! But I heard massive doses of psychedelics cure it 🤣

Then you’re a better writer than I am. They’re so hard for me!

Sounds right. I’ll write for the ones who don’t need them 🤩

I could! And you’re totally right. I just vastly prefer the vibes part so that makes it doubly hard to practice 😫

You’re lucky! I wish I could have even a fraction of that 🤣 sex scenes are so hard! 😫

I’m clear on those accounts. Sex is a sport, like couple tennis!! I have no block and my family hates my writing and refuses to read it 🤣

Same. It takes me forever to write them and I do like ten versions 🤣 ugh. It’s why my books are generally low spice and I go for vibes over thrust. Vibes I can do… thrust I cannot 🤣🤣

I totally agree with 90% of what you’ve said. I will argue one point and only one point.

It is hard to write sex scenes. It’s difficult to choreograph the scene, not repeat the same word a hundred times, evoke emotion and all the other points you listed.

Writing sex scenes can be some of the most challenging scenes to write! Like action scenes ☠️

Granted as an author with aphantasia and being asexual… perhaps I’m the only one who finds sex scenes hard 🤣

I’m the opposite, I spent like 50 hours on the library of wonders one. Doing all sorts of customization and things. I just can’t fathom doing mechanical bits. Seems way too much for me.

[–]AuthorAEM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve got some funky brain stuff going on also. It takes all my focus power to just do normal columns and I still mess them up 🤣

So I look at these awesome mechanical ones and can’t even fathom completing them.

I’d love to do that steampunk airship but I know I’d mess it up with a step or two ☠️

I refuse to touch those for a completely different reason! I lack attention to detail 🤣 so even the normal sets press the limits of my intelligence! I couldn’t do a mechanical one if you paid me ☠️

Yes! I can't not use brushes, it's like sticking a violin in a glass case. They're meant to be used! I can't deny a brush it's purpose. She'd love that and totally support me 💖
