Another vote for signing up for one of Nicole’s classes–some good thinking on what else needs to be said besides “right foot on yellow…left hand on green….”

I just finished reading Sex, Straight Up, by Kathleen O’Reilly, which used sex scenes masterfully to push character growth and also complicate their lives.

LOL – it wasn’t a boulder…merely a rock near a hot spring!

Hi Susan, thanks! I’m so glad you liked it! The senses are so important in sensual scenes.

I “met” Nicole the same way! And I gave her a perfect score too!

She’s a master at weaving the emotional into the physical and making the characters so real, so I agree. She definitely knows what she’s talking about here!

Nicole, Loved your advice about included the senses in writing love/sex scenes. Layering the senses is intoxicating. Thanks!

As a new novelist who is writing her first love scene this coming week, I really needed the information you presented here. I can’t wait to get back to my love scene and apply what I learned from you. Thanks so much.
