Current (non-fic) writing project:

Socchan's School of Writing: How to Smut

I've shared the very most tip-of-the-iceberg basics with some folks before, but apparently it's high time I went into more depth on the subject.

The post in question probably definitely won't get finished today, as I am Le Tired (it's been A Long Day almost all week), but I am working on it.

It is slated to have a number of potentially embarrassing confessions in it, which I am sharing in entirely good humor and with the intent of embracing my foibles and sharing my smut writing journey. I have written some good smut, if I do say so myself, but there was absolutely a time when I didn't know what the hell I was doing. While I managed to not actually write any sex scenes until I had at least a little bit of an idea what was what (to which I can only credit Fear Of Failure), I am absolutely prepared to share how little I once knew in addition to what I know now. Hopefully, the knowledge that I am looking back on these incidents with more amusement than horror will help anyone else with embarrassment squick problems, but uh. I'll figure something out if it doesn't ._.a

I shall await this. I am thinking of rewriting an old smutty fanfiction that even thinking about makes me cringe. cringe in a bad way.

Golly gosh, that would be an interesting conflict of assumptions depending on who is reading it.

I am sort of wondering whether I should leave my work and write a whole new 2.0 version to show my learning process. I haven't got to the 'reflect with humour' stage yet, it is all just embarrassing.
