It does depend on the story. Some are just more atmospheric than others.
Sometimes, I like to give a character a distinguishing feature that I mention more than once. In Mastered, it was a red braid. In a non-erotic story I wrote, I emphasized how small and skinny the main character was. But, rarely do I give too many character details. I'm trying to do better with that.
The other place where details get in the way are action scenes. One of my writing teachers used to call it "stage managing". So, if you write, "Kate woke up, sat up, pushed back her covers, sat up, slid her feet into her slippers, and stood before walking the seven steps to her bathroom," when you could say, "Kate got out of bed and went to the bathroom," I do tend to get impatient as a reader. I get grumpy with myself as a writer, too.
However, when it comes to sex, I love to give the full description of sensations and emotion.
If it's one-for-the-price-of-two, I was thinking charging for four would give me two. And, yes, doubles would be lovely.
Wait a minute.....
I'm not a good collaborator. It stinks because I've had offers from people who I would be honored to work with.
Brainstorming before writing...oh, please yes. Even a sounding board to help when I'm in a stuck place is a wonderful thing (thank you, wife-lady). But when it comes to the writing, I want to do all of it on my own.
Maybe someday I'll do a collaboration with myself like J.D. Robb and Nora Roberts.
Did you really just give me the opportunity to say, "Please pour me a cup of anguish."?
I love you.
I can definitely order the Hannah without fear. And yes, that one is all yours, I believe.
I misspelled Buz's name once and fixed it. Stupid me. wink
My favorite? It involves a fifth of vodka, a jar of peanut butter , and a latex glove. ;)
Yeah, I'm with Sprite on this. Trump sucks but being a colony would suck more.
May I have a bloody Mary with the half-eaten carrot? I intend to call it a Bloody Bugs.
I have a new friend (Hi Jen!)! I'm so glad that Passion pleased. I kept thinking, "Mermaids and sex? Nobody's going to read this."
