Is it hot in here, or is it just your writing? Birds do it, bees do itâŚso why is it so hard for writers to do itâor rather, to do it well? Writing about sex, like the very act itself, can be difficult, funny, embarrassing, intense, evocative, compelling, sad, political, boring, mind-blowing, exciting, and exhausting. How much is too much? When is it not enough? What will others think of us? And what about our own self-censors? We will consider these and other perils and joys of getting believable, effective, sometimes beautiful and literary sex scenes on the page. Weâll look at published samples, and cover tips and traps to avoidâstarting with the fact that sex in literature is rarely just about the sex at all. Join us for this afternoon delight!
And noteâthis live webinar is about writing sex scenes in works of fiction and memoir, NOT about writing erotica or porn. Rated R for Realâall participants must be 18 or older.
