Ahhhhh well then what you can do is either read more great erotica, or take it back down a peg and work with what you do know. If you have experienced a great kiss then write about all of the planning, anxiety, and erotic lead up to that! If you've petted or explored then write about that. As you get more comfortable describing what most erotica writers feel is the "foreplay" you'll discover how a kiss can be the whole event. If that makes sense...

It happens. I just figured they were so sheer they were see-through. The only other thing that got me was at the end when he had his mixed reactions and his confusion but I think I just wanted more of the back story. And then she was questioning herself how he would respond and evidently deciding that he would react with fear.

I knew it was a gamble to set this one up as a stand alone story when it is actually just two chapters from a very very much longer work. Needless to say Alex is very conflicted and his Lady is not as cool as she pretends.

You should have been in my shoes when I wrote my first person account of a woman masturbating with a toy at home during the holidays! LOL. Honestly, a LOT of what I have written I have not experienced. And some.I was interested enough after writing it to try it...

I use my masturbation experiences to try to describe arousal and the whatnot. That's all I got at the moment. XD

I always use my own feelings while describing a character's. I may be Autistic, but I'm still capable of feeling emotion and describing it. It's just a little difficult to do so at times.

I did want to touch on some of the work that Kady and Texas Mama did for us. Amazing stuff there Ladies!

I love that we are beginning to see the very thoughtful side of our HotNSexy TexasMama. Some of her suggestions hit very close to home for me. I had an incident that, thankfully, wasn't serious over the New Year's holiday that has me seriously reconsidering my approach to setting goals and carrying through with them. I really appreciated the breakdown of goal setting and making it easier to keep the specific smaller more achievable goals.

Yeah, it was a bit rushed. I think part of it was I wanted to keep it fast to emulate her nervousness. That and I didn't want to give away all the detail until the reveal at the end.

You may have trouble describing emotions you haven't yet had the pleasure to feel....we all do it's not just because of your autism, but DAMN can you make a wicked twist in your work!

I got that as I moved through the piece. All in all it was well written and you did sort of canvey the breathlessness she was feeling.

Ok now on to the fun part....we are rapidly approaching our first birthday! It was February of last year that we had our first "real" meeting. How do we want to celebrate this achievement? What should our topics be?

Well no probably not...but then again you didn't think she'd be interested in your work in the beginning either...

Yeah. That was a great twist! It was a very fun story along the lines of some of the Grimm stories that were warnings of what could really be in the dark places.

I mean a short ditty on what we used our gift certificates on... pimping out the EdenLit Club that way.

I would like to see our Critical Review Topic be something that stretches us a bit as writers. Shall we go with something like: Describe that first kiss you ever recieved that let you know you had been kissed. Use simple but evocative language and be as descriptive as you can be. Avoid easy fixes and rushed language.

Sound doable?

That's not a bad idea Woman! That would allow our non-fiction writers to feel like they have their own topic choice. We want to stretch as writers anyhow.

Did you get the topic from EdenCooks to try that crossover? If not how abouts sweet. Desserts or something like that. You know for the birthday and that made up Hallmark Holiday.

So we could do:
* Critical Review: Describe that first kiss you ever recieved that let you know you had been kissed. Use simple but evocative language and be as descriptive as you can be. Avoid easy fixes and rushed language.

*Tell us what you have used your Eden Lit Bucks on over the past year!

*Open Topic- the usual!

Oh! Right!

At community planning meeting they convinced me that doing truffles would be an ideal February cooks topic. Any thoughts on that here?

I like your thought about that first kiss that changed kisses forever.
