Last NANO Day!!

[farad]

Happy Last Nano day!!!  I hope everyone has had a good one!  I fear that these last few days have not been good for me; the mountain of end-of-term papers came crashing down and I didn't manage to get many words put in.  BUT I actually am a day ahead of myself and I plan to write a lot today!!  I even had an idea, FINALLY, for a modern AU! 

How's everyone else? Ready to put in a good writing day today, I hope??

Something near and dear . . .

So I am cleaning out my inbox for the first tine since probably the beginning of the semester, and I came across this article: "On Sex in Fiction".

While it does have some self-promotion in it for the author, I think she makes some very good points about language and the eroticism of language.  Not just the writing of the act itself, but how language can be erotic without even discussing the act of sex itself. 

Not surprisingly, I also agree with her ideas about the use of sex, particularly as character development, and about the different ways that writing sex also contributes to the story. 

It makes me think we should have a challenge, something along the lines of tracing the development of a relationship through the different ways of writing sex (or the different types of sex?) or some such . . . .

After Nano, though.
