It started with a girl/girl scene and I'm at 12k and there hasnt been any straight girl/guy :hump:. I do believe this is the dirtiest book I've ever written to date but there's something about it that... LMAO. With this book I'm definitely not tired of writing sex.

A writer is meant to write... whatever it is. Write what feels "right" to you. Cuz if you don't like it, why would someone else? :poke: Yeah, hot sexy YA could end up in some smut store being read by some pedophile (YUK!!!) :boob:

I can feel a little burned out sometimes and I think it shows in my writing which is soooo not good. I've been branching out a bit, trying to do different things (a historical -- aack!). Right now though I'm so excited by what I'm working on it's just flowing which is nice. And lately, rare. You can do it baby! And I'm sure someone is gonna love those crazy futuristics! And nothing wrong w/ YA - just don't write hot sexy YA! LMAO I'm a :badgirl: for even saying that. I know what you mean Amie.

To make it simple, from Wikipedia: <i>In organizational or marketing contexts, science fiction can be synonymous with the broader definition of speculative fiction, encompassing creative works incorporating imaginative elements not found in contemporary reality; this includes fantasy, horror, and related genres.</i> Ok, going away now... :cool: I think Rob’s mostly right, but sci-fi usually implies elements of science or technology.

Science Fiction is almost as pejorative a term as Romance for some people. :wink: My biggest problem these days is working up the energy to write at all. But that's because my depression is reasserting itself. Going back on my meds should clear that up. As far as writing about sex goes, I still like it. A lot. Trying to make it more interesting than putting Tab A into Slot B is getting to be a bit of a challenge.

How's that wind shear? :razz: Ok, well...can't comment on 'the further I get'--but I am thinking more along the lines of light romance with hot sex, and also speculative fiction.
