One of my CPs writes for EC, and I love her stuff.<BR/><BR/>I will admit that some words do tend to make me cringe, though. But I don't find that happening just in erotic romance/romantica, nor does it just happen in love/sex scenes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-1124809639021266552005-08-23T10:07:00.000-05:002005-08-23T10:07:00.000-05:00nope... there are very few sex scenes written that...nope... there are very few sex scenes written that actually pull me in enough to read every word of them. I often skim. Jennifer Cruise is one that sucks me in. No pun intended:)Other than that I want it pretty generic.<BR/>TeriTJ Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140694185848604747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-1124761502078106392005-08-22T20:45:00.000-05:002005-08-22T20:45:00.000-05:00Mapletree7 - I find it's the more graphic descript...Mapletree7 - I find it's the more graphic descriptors that are, for me, the "wrong word choices". Softer, less descriptive love scenes don't seem to suffer from that as often.<BR/><BR/>Briana - I missed you too!

First and foremost I want a good book. My Fave-of-All Time-Ever-Must-Read-Once-a-Year has no sex in it at all. I also don't read any e-books because I love paper. It has that cozy feel, and I can't cozy up to a palm pilot or my PC. That leaves few pulishers of romantica. One of which I basically dumped because the writing was horrid. Another reason I don't read alot is because I don't want to read hard core porn. And there is alot of that whafting through the genre. I am responsible for what I write though, not the genre. So by the time I actualy find the few that I may like it's about once a year. Could I live without it? Sure. Do I support it? Yes, not just because it's my first sale, but because I see a need for it. To describe that need would be a whole 'nuther discusson. <BR/><BR/>Kisses! Missed you while you were moving.Eva Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834856467514439544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-1124759979993321672005-08-22T20:19:00.000-05:002005-08-22T20:19:00.000-05:00Is it easier to get back into a non-explicit love ...Is it easier to get back into a non-explicit love scene after a wrong word choice?mapletree7https://www.blogger.com/profile/15261672903705693449noreply@blogger.com
