I also know that later on I’ll have to write a real love/sex scene (though it will be sexy not slutty) and I need to go ahead and prepare myself for that. Part of writing is imagination, which I used, and since I was determined to at least get the scene written down, even if it needs to be completely edited later on I will at least have it in there. So I just finally began writing and I started with a hug, then it grew from there…and as I wrote it I had the memory of what I felt when I kissed my husband for the first time way back when we first started seeing each other. I was a bit blocked when I first began writing the MC’s first love scene (it was a first kiss scene actually, though the kiss was some kind of passionate) and I didn’t want it to sound like a Harlequin Romance but I didn’t want it to sound technical either. So now I don’t ignore that feeling of “I must get this written…”
If I ignored the urge and the line finally quit bugging me then I’d completely forget about it–damn, if it wouldn’t have been just the best line. I used to write a lot of poetry and I’d get a line in my head and it would bug me all day long until I wrote it down. I won’t stay up long, I’m really tired but there’s this small scene that’s been in my head all day and I need to get at least part of it in the story so I won’t forget or it will drive me crazy and I won’t be able to go to sleep. Which means I’ll have a head start on tomorrow’s writing. I wrote this morning and now that it’s midnight (of course it is now 38 minutes into day 17 for me) I’m about to start writing again. I’ve hidden my inner editor in the closet, or somewhere–I don’t remember where. Having ADHD means I make lists or I forget things. In the mornings I do drink at least 8 oz of orange juice and most of the time I remember to take my vitamin (but that has nothing to do with writing, I just forget about it sometimes).
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still washing dishes (though there are days when I’m a slacker), and cooking dinner (slacker on one or two days there as well), and I still bath regularly (not slacking on that), but I’m drinking coffee on and off all day with breaks from it during the middle of the day when I drink water, and then for dinner I usually have at least one glass of sweetened iced tea.
YAY! ME! This has been a difficult week so far, and it is only Tuesday! Why? Well, writing has become my job 😀 since I started this and I have been taking it rather seriously, maybe too seriously, but isn’t that what I’m supposed to do my inner writer says. I’ve caught up on my word count, written my first love scene, though it was more of a first kiss scene, and I’ve finished Chapter 10, as well as put my inner editor to bed, at least for now.
