Request From A Friend
So I was at a bit of a loss of what to write about... I've been insanely busy with work and life and I haven't gotten as much writing done as I would like (still only about halfway through the next Wolf chapter, although I'm hoping to get more done today) and I was like crap... what do I blog about? I have nothing?
Then I got a request from a fellow author, wondering if I could help them out on my blog because she's canvasing opinions to help her with a story idea and I have such responsive blog readers =) This kind of came at a perfect time since I don't really have much to say but it's been almost a week since I blogged anything at all! So on my end, I don't have much new to report. I'm enjoying working on Taming the Tease and I'm really hoping to have enough time to finish the next chapter of Taken by the Wolf by the end of this week if not before. Have a bit of extra time today thanks to snow, so we'll see.
Anyway, here's a scenario from a fellow author of mine:
I am sketching out a new book and things are slowly coming together. The story follows a young woman (definitely not me because young was a while ago) who is so fed up with the useless men around her that she sits down to write a manual to teach them how to do sex right. I have the outline in my head, and some of the characters, but would appreciate your help with the very beginning.
Her decision to write the manual is triggered by a chance encounter. She is staying in a normal hotel and is feeling bored and alone. She goes to the bar with the intention of picking up a suitable guy and possibly indulging in some naughty casual sex - something she has never done before. She meets a well-dressed man, confident man who buys her a drink, manages an intelligent conversation that is mostly about her and not him, and makes it politely clear that he would love to take her back to his room. She accepts and then he says something that makes her think he might not be as cool as she had thought [Question 1]. She brushes it aside and follows him anyway.
They go back to his room and he does quite well. She gives him control (something we will discuss later in the book because no-one leads me too much for too long), and he gets them both naked and into bed. As normal for her, she lies back to let him bring her to ecstasy, but then he does something, or does something in a certain way, [Question 2] that shows he really does not know what he is doing. For her, it is game over as a result but she lets him get on with things, and then leaves.
Next day, on the long drive home, she mulls over what had happened the previous night, and decides it is time to write a book to instruct the male race on how to treat women. Of course, the adventure of writing the book brings surprises, and surprising characters make positive and negative contributions. The final book turns out to be much less one-sided than she had thought, and a lot more fun as a result.
Now, please, help me with the two questions. What might he have said? How did his incompetent love-making feel to her? What exactly did he do to convince her that he was totally hopeless? If you are anything like me, you can probably remember promising chances that turned out to be mistakes. I would love to hear about them...
