IWSG Day Question: If you could use a wish to help you write just one scene/chapter of your book, which one would it be?
First, lets thank our co-hosts for this month
I thought hard about this question. Since I work so hard to craft my stories, the idea of having someone else help me write a scene or chapter doesn’t feel right.
And I thought about a sex scene. I’ve never written one because my stories don’t need them. I’ve been tempted to try one, but haven’t gathered up the courage. I’ve read so many bad ones, and I’m afraid mine would be worse.
I sometimes wish I had a magic wand for my opening chapter. In my current WIP, I re-wrote the first chapter at least four times. and that was before I started editing. I had to go back and change it as my characters revealed hidden parts of the story I hadn’t planned for.
But I can’t let someone else write the beginning of my book. Then it wouldn’t be mine.
I’ve been known to write a fight scene or two, and I struggle to get enough action without getting carried away with it. Especially when I write a fight between two wolf shifters. How many ways can I describe wolves trying to prove their dominance? Keeping fights fresh across the series is a challenge. I wouldn’t mind a different set of eyes helping me develop my scene.
So that’s my wish. Help with future fight scenes. I’m interested to see what everyone else asks for.
But before we go, I’d like to welcome you to my new website. I’d be honored if you would take a moment to look around. And even happier if you would follow me on here. See the subscribe box to the right? Yeah, that one. Go ahead, enter your email. That way you won’t miss any of my posts.
If not, I hope to see you next month for another #IWSG post!
