There is anything specific but there are things like the fact that he locked the door and the lack of air in his lungs that let me intrigue to the deepest.
I am very interested in developing a style in english as a second language and your half story has left me anxious and wanting more.
This is my first time in your blog of many still to come. I love it BL.

It amazed me how very sexy and erotic it was to read nothing specific! It left it all to the imagination, so sweetly. Good luck finding your way out of this little corner, BL.

Oh Lilian, that is so very true! I don’t want to write the rest of it either, probably for that very reason. But there must be another way out than a messy reality or a fall from grace or something sentimental and not true. Something more magical and mythical, is my thought for now.

In a way, I don’t want to read the rest, because this bit is so good – I want to leave it with the words and thoughts and not get into the messy reality of sex (I’m obviously assuming that they do get to this stage, and I might be wrong!). Very nicely done.

Nice! And so true.

(I can’t wait to have your book in my hands. It looks so beautiful on the screen.)

And hello and welcome Baiti — That’s very sweet to say! The best thing about writing a lot, which is one thing blogging’s particularly good for, is that the more you write the more you uncover your own voice. So, yes, as you say, keep writing. When you do, you will get closer and closer to finding that voice which is yours alone.

This works on so many levels – I think it also says a lot about writing, the idea of charging every word we use. Wow, Lily!

Write more!

But it helps to think of this as a writing exercise, probably the hardest there is and experiment a little with it.

Hey Selene — I’ve missed seeing you, and am glad to hear your voice, if only electronically. And thank you. The imagination is often the best ingredient in a scene like this.

LK — !

Dear litlove, Those are the questions I’m going to need a support group to answer. (I think you should join us!)

I particularly like the sex-charged house with three teenage boys – I think it lends an air to the story that really works.

As for writing sex/erotica or whatever, I’m at a loss. One of my short stories I’ve been working on is, in fact, on pause because I’m trying to write about the couple’s first sexual encounter and failing miserably at it.

What an amazing story this is, and I’m eager to read the rest of it! I love the way you make the story sizzle without delving into explicit language or imagery. My favorite erotic prose is this kind, that leaves so much to the imagination. Brava!

~Love and Blessings,
Selene~

Fantastic start – what I want to know is: when they meet (because they must feel compelled to – how could they not?) which will prove stronger – words or their reality? Will the fantasy they’ve created be more vivid than the real thing, or will they meet and exchange those words for something else? ooooh I’m all intrigued to know now!
