Driving myself nuts trying to find music to write to today. I’m actually doing a novelette where Micah and Anita go out of town. I need to know more about Micah, and one of the ways I’ve always done that is to throw the main character and the character I’m having trouble with into a situation and see what happens. Micah only came on the scene in book ten, and by that time there was so much back story with the other guys, that sometimes I feel like he just hasn’t had enough time on stage. But, as with Richard, he doesn’t talk directly to me. So I have to sort of coax him. Nathaniel used to also be difficult for me, but after last book INCUBUS DREAMS, this is no longer true. I created a disc (or rather Jonathon did) of music to help me when writing Nathaniel scenes. Now I’m looking for one to help with Micah scenes. But so far, its sort of a bust. I mean I’ve got some that are ball parking, but not a home run. I think part of the problem is that it’s also a sex scene today, and those can be difficult. I mean, how do you describe on paper something that is so tied to the senses? How to paint with only black letters on white paper something that needs to be in rainbow technicolor? I always struggle to do literary sex justice. To make it as real as possible on paper. And, I’m also, oddly, carrying the torch for the men. I’m their only voice to do a good job in bed, so there’s always a little performance pressure to make sure that all the men get a fair chance to be great in bed.
Gotta go. Where did I put that Revis CD?
