I think I've been writing it too long to struggle any more - but I used to, for sure. I could go on a huge tangent about this, but I shall refrain, lol.

#Smutcember #steamyreads #eroticromance
#Smutcember for Hump Day asks:

Do you struggle with sharing your smutty writing? If so, what internal or external obstacles have been the most challenging? If not, what advice would you give someone who's struggling but wants to share their work?

It took 6 wips to find one that wasn't a _dirty_ synonym. But, whew, my romantic spec-fic has one in the opening paragraph. Been a loooong time since I've pulled up that one.

Tomorrow's #WIPSnips is "pipe" and I've already used the only bit I have with that word for a past wipsnip/different word. But, oh boy, do I have a large usage of a word with those "vibes."🤣

I'm a mood writer & have to be fully inside the head of the character to get words down. I like writing all of those things, but it's definitely mood-dependent for which I prefer at any given moment.
#Smutcember #WriteSky
Our #Smutcember prompt for today asks:

When writing sex in your stories, do you prefer to write the build up, the act itself, the aftercare, or all of the above?

She's concussed.He's taking care of her--no activity allowed. She's been trying/he's denying.

The little freaking vixen flipped over, showing off those glorious glutes, and fluffed her pillow. Then sighed into it. A noise designed to mimic the softest of the ones she offered during sex.

I had a review 'the slow burn but not slow burn was the icing' (paraphrased). It really described well what I write: super-fast attraction &high-heat chemistry, but a slow burn to the feelings realization. As a character-driven reader (and writer) it's what I like to read, too.
#Smutcember #WriteSky
Merry Monday, #Smutcember!

In your stories, do you prefer a slow burn or fast feelings? What appeals to you the most about writing your preferred pacing?

Their first time on the ice together. He's a former pro defenseman/current coach.

When her bestie, and team captain, knows her too well and calls her out on her secret hookup.

She finds all of him attractive too, but we'll go with the very beginning:
And dammit all, there were dimples. I was such a sucker for dimples.

1/2 [his answer below, looking over a naughty pic she sent]

#Smutcember #WriteSky
To wrap our first week of #Smutcember, tell us:

What do your characters find *physically* attractive about each other? (We'll get into the more intangible traits later.)

With the East jammed so tight the games so far feel almost meaningless. With so many 4-point games left, they'll decide everything. Scary.

When his pick-up game is so bad she calls him out on it. But it gets much better as the night wears on...

2 weeks had passed since Nash promised to line up a day the practice rink was closed & he could show me those moves. Between that, his game schedule, & mine, it hadn't happened. We'd only seen each other twice & I was antsy. To skate w/him, hook up w/him. Just connect in some capacity.

I thought he was getting ready to say something, but instead he leaned back and pulled me against his chest, content to watch the last few minutes of the game in silence.
"What would you have done if you didn't play hockey?" he asked when the TV reset to the homescreen.

This is a hard one to pinpoint an answer for. It takes lots of things: banter, attraction (friend or lover wise), internals, externals. But I think, really, it all comes down to show over tell.

#SmutCember #WriteSky #Romancelandia #Booksky
#Smutcember, it's time to talk about our work! To start off:

How do you build chemistry between your characters? You can speak in general terms or give specific examples, whichever you prefer.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 5, 2025 at 2:19 PM
I write a really wide variety but read a more narrow scope, which I'm intent on changing this coming year.

#SmutCember #WriteSky
Last establishing question, #Smutcember:

Do you read different kinds of smut than you write, or is that Venn diagram a circle?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 4, 2025 at 8:20 PM
I read from none to high. With writing, it's all about characterization for me & characters come to me before story (or with a basic story line). So I follow what they would do/be comfortable with. Which sees me writing from door ajar to my sex club serial.
#SmutCember #WriteSky
As we continue into #Smutcember, it's important to know:

What is your spice comfort level? Does it vary between what you enjoy privately and what you're willing to share? Do you have hard boundaries for what you engage with?

I'm Tara, and I'm late to finding this, but hi! I'll be focusing on book1 of my steamy hockey romance & my Club Licentia serial this month. The Club has a large & diverse cast of characters, so you never know who might pop up, but they are all super smutty. 😉
#SmutCember #WriteSky #Romancebooks
Welcome to #Smutcember, folks!

To start things off, introduce yourself and the work(s) or characters you plan on discussing this month. You can focus on one relationship or several, it's up to you!

The only time I showed up at the bar was when the team's rivals were in /town/, specifically for one testosterone-filled, ego-driven player. And my brother was late, as usual.
I glanced in the mirror & spied a very nice distraction strolling by behind me, for the 3rd time in 10 minutes.
