Horny Hump Day: The Skivvy's Tale.


This post contains naughty words and naughty pictures.
NSFW!
Safe for Grown-Ups, though.

This is three sentence passage from the novel I've been poking at for three years. 
The first half wrote itself very quickly, the second section I've been plugging at on NaNoWriMo. 

However,
I've hit an action scene.
 Cannons! 
Drama! 
Betrayal! 
Wicked Cooks!
Unfortunately, I can't write action scenes for shit.
(Not a word I write often, but absolutely
apposite under the circumstances)

So I've stalled.
I hope to write half a NaNo.
That's like a half-marathon, right?



Meanwhile, this is a scene
from the closing chapters of the first book
of The Skivvy's Tale
where our protagonist,
Gretina Bathshaw
is in the wicked clutches
of the evil
Lord Arcady Vulpt.







      She bent her knees, drawing up her feet, knowing her position to be wanton and shameless; grateful for the concealment of the mask. A new scent sharpened the air, her own. 

‘Like a rose,’ he said, softly, ’ A woman’s sex opens like a flower and pours out its fragrance when she is in bloom.’


Thank you for visiting
I hope you had fun!

  3. I like how romantic and poetic he is, even if he's not the guy she'd prefer to be with.

    1. Thank you very much! You know, that's always the best thing a writer could hear, readers wanting to know what happens next.

  5. Well, considering that when it comes to the lusty bits you can reach all the senses it is only fair that your actions scenes suck.

    Just kidding about the latter... Do you read novels with a lot of action in them? I find that watching action movies and reading thrillers helps me a bit.

    1. Well, thank you. I draw my inspiration from Keats, whom I love but who did seem to have had a checklist of the five senses when he wrote.

      I have to admit, I skip most of the fight scenes, especially if they're written out as a blow-by-blow (Yes, I'm looking at you, R A Salvatore). Otherwise I enjoy it, if it's visual. But to write it, I have to SEE it. That makes sense, right? Or is it just me?
