Just finished an 1183-word scene for my romance. It’s the first new scene I’ve written in months — I had bogged down in the editing and had been resisting the inevitable. I needed/need a new ending.
I had a hunch this would happen. That my muse was ready, but she wouldn’t cough it up until I sat down at the computer and STARTED. “Sorry, chum,” she’s saying, “you have to ante to play.”
Best of all, the next scene is a sex scene, and the story demands that it top the previous two sex scenes. I love writing sex scenes. My wife may not be as delighted; I tend to get rather demanding.
Eh. Too bad.

Write on with your bad self! And yes, it’s amazing how the words don’t show up on the page until we show up at the desk. ; )
Eh. Too bad. ???
That’s a helluva lot of bravado – I’m not buying it. (But good luck :-))
You go, uh, girl! An, of course, make sure to point out to your lovely wife the importance of research. ;o)
Hey, I might actually ask you to read something of mine, once I edit it, if you don’t mind. The folks who were in my writing group all know the people involved in the story, so I’m looking for a fresh pair of eyes to critque. It’s the first thing I’ve written in ages – gasp! No pressure, of course.
