    Aside from the collecting the kids from bit, this is definitely the way it works for me. ?

    I’m rolling around laughing, here. I always assumed writing sex scenes was a mixture of imagination, determination, British (where relevant) squirming and lots of wine. I had no idea furniture measurements and fish came into it (unless relevant to the plot, obviously). I’ll be approaching the next hot sex scene I read with trepidation – I might have to stay away from historical stories for a while because I’ll be distracted, wondering about the load bearing properties of an escritoire.

    Wow what can I say you have earned my respect for all the extraordinary things you have to remember and get right for your “Hot Sex Scene.” I’m also amazed that you don’t forget to pick up the children from school!

    It’s possible that I did once turn up slightly late. Once. Ten mins max. cough.

    I’ve been doing it wrong all along! I thought you were supposed to write the whole book with no explicit material, then every fifteen percent or so drop a random sex scene. Are you saying this is perhaps the not most effective way to structure a romantic narrative? Granted, sometimes you have to massage with the percentages. “And then he blotted the lettuce dry in anticipation of making salad. His cock throbbed with need.” Awkward?
