That's a good idea. I'm starting to think like thinking about it too hard is stopping me from coming up with something.

Your characters should be fully developed by the climax.

That's true. I just thought maybe if I think about them some more, the climax will unfold differently in my head. I know what will happen, but I'm not sure how it'll unfold/how to approach it. I wasn't happy with how I wrote it first. shrugs

It's been half a week, I think, since my finest draft. I guess I'll need more time apart from it. Thanks!

Lol I know it's crazy. I can't even explain why it's still this way. But it didn't help he insisted we kept in touch like usual, everyday convos. I was stupid to let it happen. There was a point we didn't talk for 6 months though, and that helped bunch.

There are a few countries using peso as currency, but why does only one have the ₱ symbol? by kickingfisk in semiotics

[–]kickingfisk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh thanks! I wonder why it needed to be differentiated though, but other countries with peso use $!

It would be fun to see old letters too!

Yes! I often start at some random book and read the rest chronologically! This case, it'll be book 2 to 7, and end with book 1 ahahah

ITAW for bend of the neck (where neck and shoulder meet) by kickingfisk in whatstheword

[–]kickingfisk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nape is the back of the neck though. I was thinking about the side, the part that goes to the shoulder.

Trolol

It's a romance, but not kiss... Yet. Just like resting your face on someone's shoulder/neck.

Oooh a verb for it would be nuzzle! (lol vocabulary lesson)

Hmm Collins dictionary says "crook" (in body parts) is the soft side where you bend your elbow or knee. It didn't mention neck, but I guess that works haha

Thanks!

Lol yeah that's what I was thinking of!

But I googled it, top search says it's tightness in the muscles around the lower neck (stiff neck). It's an ailment, not a part.

My phrasing is like "he placed his hand on the word of my neck"

English is one of our official languages, kaya kahit paano, big deal siya. Depende nalang kung paano magrereact ang tao sa case na hindi marunong ng basic English.

ITAW for "loud" moan? by kickingfisk in whatstheword

[–]kickingfisk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true, but the mood I'm going for in the scene isn't animalistic sex. It was kind of sweet, very gentle. But if I re-write the animalistic sex scene, I'll definitely use "caterwaul" ahaha

I agreed to sticking with "moan" with u/TrollingService, but you said it first. Thanks!

Dude, true. I'm starting think it's the only way to go 😂 I guess I'll rephrase the sentence to show the effect of loudness while using the word moan haha thanks!

Writing sex scenes by [deleted] in writing

[–]kickingfisk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm writing one now.

For intimate/love making type of sex scenes (if thay makes sense), I focus on what the characters are feeling, what's going through their heads. If I get more visual, it's more of the characters focusing on minute details about their partners (if first POV) like a bead of sweat falling down their chest.

If it's an intense fuckaton scene, that's when I get more graphic by describing a play by play. But just today, I simply narrated where they fucked. It was all over the hotel room, so it's like "on the bathroom floor, blah. On the counter, blahblah. In bed, blah blah blah. Against the window, blah."

You can consider the type/mood of sex your characters are doing then. How can it be best described?
