I need 9, I get 6-7, and less than that during the school year. I am VERY cranky when I am operating on little sleep. So, yeah, I'm often cranky.
Yes. I prefer a woman's POV. Just being inside their head gives me a little erotic jolt.
I think it is harder for men to write from a woman's POV than it is for women to write from a male POV. It's like those profiles than claim to be woman but scream out "I'm really a guy!" Men are way more predictable in what turns them on. Women are continually surprising (to me, anyway) as to what make them purr. It's that "secret garden" thing.
Personally, I love writing from a woman's POV, but I approach it with caution. I've only done it once here.
Eyes first, I love eyes. Lips are a close second.
What turns me on about girls? Beyond the obvious? Their necks. A woman exposing her neck to you is such a thrilling thing. The curve above their hips. The way they laugh, and talk, and sigh. The way they smile. The way their minds work. The secret turn-ons they have hiding in the back of their minds, like a new world waiting to be discovered.
scintillating (can't spell it without spellcheck though)
28 Days Later. Ace has a point, though, the original Night of the Living Dead is really scary, the black and white and bare-bones production make it feel like a bad dream you can't wake up from.
Tiramisu, served with two forks and a bottle of wine, and shared in the cozy corner table of a small neighborhood Italian restaurant.
I am feeling a little lost.
I am a "car handler" for the Soapbox Derby my daughter is racing in next weekend.
terra firma (okay, it's two words)
I really need more sleep. I slept so hard I felt like I was hibernating. And I am still tired.
Dronie - a selfie taken with a drone (for reals!)
I am drinking good (and free) bourbon in South Carolina at a tech conference.
I am still recovering from jet lag.
I don't need characterization, a back-story, a plot, descriptions, exposition, even believability. All I need is a spark between the characters. My pet peeve is when sex is mechanical and lifeless and merely a description of what is happening, tab a going into slot b kind of writing.
Plus, what sprite said.
