I have not given up on writing my novel that I started on November 1,2011 The Chic Bootlegger. I make sure that I spend everyday writing about Madeleine and her life in Paris. I have to confess that it is hard and a little scary. I really like writing it but it is scary because I am investing pieces of myself into Madeleine and writing about a grand love affair between Madeleine and her mysterious beaux seems like kissing and telling.I might as well just come out with it, I am feeling a little shy because they are getting to that moment where intimacy is about to happen and I feel very awkward writing the scene which is quite important because it will propel the relationship beyond comfortable to neither can ever be without each other. I know that I am being silly and I never thought in my younger days that I would grow up to be so modest. Who knew, I have sort of become my mother, all prim and proper.

This was a very nice post. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading your blog today very much.
Don’t feel pressured to write a sex scene if that’s not who you are; it will sound forced and awkward. Check out other novels of a similar style and genre and see how they handle it. Above all, when writing, ‘To thine own self be true.’
you are so right, it came to me yesterday that I need to look into other love scenes just to refresh my memory of how they treated the love making. Great advice.
