Sex and Writing
A quickie for those bi-curious about writing
By Cara Bristol
Erotic romance authors use words to write about sex. But what if we used sex to describe writing?
Foreplay – Writing exercises or rituals that get you into the mood to write.
Ejaculation – Sending the completed manuscript to an editor or agent
Premature ejaculation – Sending the manuscript too soon, before it’s polished and ready.
Oral sex – Talking about writing, rather than actually doing it.
Polyamory or ménage –Working on multiple manuscripts at the same time.
Bi-curious, bi-sexual –Writing in two different genres or subgenres.
One night stand – Sneakily writing something other than the manuscript you should be working on.
Infidelity – Same as a one night stand, only it lasts longer and can result in the abandonment of the original manuscript.
Bondage – Contractual obligations to write a book.
Discipline – Having a regular writing schedule. Writing when you don’t feel like it.
Orgasm – Getting a book contract, a royalty check, or an email from a fan.
Getting fucked – A drive-by one-star review.
Quickie – A short piece of writing.
Libido – The desire to write.
Dysfunction – Writer’s block
Making love –Writing something that brings you great pleasure
