Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.
How do they communicate? How do they expect others to communicate? How well do they understand their body and their own capacity for pleasure? What do they tend to do to make their partner feel comfortable? How comfortable are they showing emotion in front of others? How much insight do they have into what their own emotions mean and are connected to? What are they focused on during the encounter? How conscious are they of exchanges of power and vulnerability? very very very good
People sneer at sex scenes in fiction as pointless prurient fluff but this is a really intimate view of characters at the extremes of their interactions, their desires, their fears, their revelations and concealments, and the meat of their interactions and relationships. You can do so much with it!
Sex scenes done well are like action scenes. There should be pauses in action, negotiation, turnabouts, revelation. Backstory is included, how does past trauma affect how a character wishes their body to be celebrated? How does their experiences together affect how they want to treat their lover's body?

what is bite down?
A love letter to the American South, to Millennials, to the HBCUs, to black horror stories, to candy paint and big rims, to grillz and gold teeth, to knotless braids and pre-stretched hair, to locs and kinks and coils, to waves and fades, to black voting power, to the Willie Maes and Gradys, to the subs and Black Ice car fresheners, to beatin’ down the block, to the cookouts, to the uncs and aunties, to hoodoo, to the sea, to our ancestors. To my home, South Carolina. Most of all, love to you, fellow Southern Black American.

oh-no-another-idea’s WIPs
Placeholder Title: The Invisible Girl
Genre: Historical Fantasy, Urban Fantasy
Current Status: Second draft
POV: Third person
Themes: Found Family, Heists, Magic versus Machines, Self Discovery, Adventure, Loneliness
Synopsis: When Velia Greene accepts her newest job, she thinks nothing of it. A three day train ride, a secret piece of cargo–simple enough for a thief who can slip right past any security. After all, Velia’s never been caught. How could she be, when nobody can see her?
It’s lonely, being invisible to everyone until they care for you. But it does give you an excellent advantage at sneaking.
But on the train, everything starts to go wrong. Four passengers overhear her and discover her presence. A strange man somehow sees her immediately. The cargo is more precious than she could’ve imagined, and there’s someone aboard who will stop at nothing to get it before the train arrives…

Placeholder Title: Stars and Ships
Genre: Sci fi
Current Status: Zero draft, plotting
POV: Third person, multiple narrators
Themes: Found Family, Heists, Adventure, Treasure hunt, Maybe the real treasure was the friends we found along the way, Criminals on the run
Synopsis: Jax Castle is the best junker this side of the Milky Way. That’s probably cause the junker business is just a front for his real skills: smuggling. Together with his team Aaliyah the mercenary and little brother Quin the pilot, there isn’t any job they can’t do!
It’s a dangerous life, always hiding from the authorities, always staying below the radar, but like previously stated, there isn’t anything they can’t do.
Unfortunately, once they meet Sepia Windsor along with his crazy scheme, the authorities start cropping up everywhere. The crew didn’t even agree to help the kid, but before they know it, they’re recruiting other dubious help, landing themselves in the biggest prison in the galaxy, and becoming the top wanted criminals in the whole universe. And the so called treasure may not even be real. They are NOT getting paid enough for this; if they survive, Jax is going to kill that Sepia kid. Or maybe himself. He’s not particular.

My rational brain: you really should be focusing on your uni work... it's kind of important
The goblin rubbing its grubby little hands together and scheming in the shadows of my mind: BUT YOU HAVEN'T FLESHED OUT HOW THEY GET OFF THE ISLAND!! WHAT IF YOU LOSE MOTIVATION AND THEY GET STUCK THERE FOREVER!!!
My rational brain: We just overcame the writer's block. We brought a new notebook and everything. IT HAS STARS ON IT!
The goblin: NOPE, you're going to lose it.
As you can see, chapter 4 of 'The Sea Gives' is coming along smoothly.
Update: the goblin won.

"...How many 'todays' are we talking?"
"You look like shit."
"You should see the other guy."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. Not a scratch on him."
beginner’s guide to your fanfic tag game 🤩
basically if someone were to come to your inbox and ask, "which of your fics do you recommend i read first?" what would you tell them?
Tessellate part 1 and 2!! It’s a platonic love story between reader and Gwen Stacy that features a b plot romance with reader and Peter Parker
Storm Warning feels very personal to me and it’s a fic of Arvin Russell experiencing his first hurricane season
so pretty it hurts is a coming of grown age, realizing your sexuality later in life fic with Michelle Jones
And Life’s Perfect Ache which was a Much Ado About Nothing inspired fic with Paul Atreides and an OC that also feels pretty foundational to my writing

Specified lines tag
The lovely @indecentpause tagged me a long time ago -- thank you! I'm going to pull these from Invisible Girl today :D
A line about joy:
Velia held [Antonio's] gaze. She wasn’t sure if that was something she was supposed to thank him for, or smile about, or ignore. She got the sense it didn’t matter if she was uncertain, if she didn’t say a word. His gaze softened, seemed happy to just stay there, rich with the sight of her.
A line about family:
Velia studied [Fynn], studied the scaffolding of him; saw the strong spine of the boy who’d left his family, lost his father, his faith and his hope, and yet was still steely strong beneath.
A line about fear:
The thought of Fynn gone, extinguished, was a new and different fear, not the all-gripping grief of Antonio, unlike the gasping horror for Paris or Lewis. The thought bothered her just as much, even if he wouldn’t be missed. He would be missed.
A line that sounds ridiculous out of context:
“But trains don’t have brains,” Antonio reasoned reasonably. “So, that’s not true, of course.”
A wildcard line (any line you're in the mood to share!):
“I’m not miserable,” Antonio said, and then yelped as Crowley swung for him. He lurched to one side, but ran out of room, and wasn’t able to duck quick enough. Crowley’s uppercut smashed him in the face, and down he tumbled, landing at Lewis’s feet.
I'll tag @winterandwords @author-a-holmes @zmwrites @chayscribbles @memento-morri-writes and anyone else who read this :)
Your lines: A line involving blinking A line about the sea A line with some yearning A line that mentions the color blue A line that's screamed
I am of the “anyone else who reads this” crowd 🙋🏽♀️ these are all from different WIPs!!
A line involving blinking— from the next part of Sunlight
“Does it look weird? Am I wearing it wrong?”
Tsu’tey blinked hard then forced his gaze away, forced his whole body to turn. “I will forage.” He declared, his voice tight as it croaked from his throat.
If he didn’t get a hold on himself, he may walk straight off a cliff this time.
A line about the sea— from a wip called Bending Light with a lighthouse keeper!reader
As your siblings chose higher learning or marriage, you turned to the sea.
A line with some yearning— from the next part of Pour Some Sugar On Me
“That why you stole from me?”
He shrugged carelessly. “I got an earring, you got my heart. I don’t think that’s too bad a trade. Didn’t you see it? Left it, still beating, on your pillow and everything.”
A line that mentions the color blue— a prequel for Life’s Perfect Ache
But on Enfiel, it was clear he didn’t see much of the sun. He wasn’t technically shirtless, but he felt like it, the thin linen sheet of steel blue pinned to his shoulder and black linen slacks that covered but didn’t cling to his legs.
A line that's screamed— From my wip Not Broken, Just Bent
Ninon’s voice and the sloshing of water came from inside the locked room. “But Mercury is in retrograde!”
“My uterus is in retrograde!!” The thirteen year old roared back.
being a writer is
50% daydreaming about plots and writing
50% procrastinating/suffering during the actual writing process
Are You A Writer? Are you working on a current project and thinking it's too good and cohesive?
Comment on this post with the name and general premise of your WIP and I will send you an ask with an artistically shitty prompt just for you and your project!
