I love the inversion of role expectations.

The human being the dangerous and protective monster, the non-human [Orc is my go to] strong but still needing protecting.

They both give each other what the other needs without either being a victim.

That is gorgeous! I will have to reach out to them for some character pieces after holiday spending settles.

Need to support artists.

I overcame this struggle by focusing on the characters.

By making the experiences and the pleasures of the character the main point, and often viewing them through a less of empathy, I made my writing about giving them the ability to feel pleasure.

It is weird, but viewing them as People helped.

All of the above.

Any one of the three missing feels like leaving a crucial ingredient out of a bread recipie.

The build up, the act, and the aftercare are needed to make a satisfying scene; just like flour, water, yeast, and sugar are needed for a good loaf.

Fellow Medium Burn enjoyer! I agree, the intimate moments need build up.

100% agreed! You are not left dying in a desert, but not drowning in a tsunami.

I personally prefer the hidden third option, Medium Burn.

The spark comes fast, they have fast feelings, they date withjn the opening chapters. All while building towards intimacy as they overcome different plot events.

Then when they are intimate much later it is beautiful, earnest, earned.

It was a well deserved win and I am genuinely glad you achieved such well earned result!

Awesome work!

Tristan adores Mara's large, strong orcish body, because he doesn't have to worry about hurting her.

Mara loves Tristan for the human kindness and safety his large heart provides her. Letting her be soft Princess being a Warchief never allows.

Hahaha, I like the idea of ideas being unprocessed cheese curds better. What made it to the paper might have been the words you were thinking.

Get the rough draft of my Romantasy novel "I see you, Warchief" finished and ready for reading by others.

If you find that book please let me know, it would be a wonderful reference manual.

Love the imagey of a tunneled out turnip filled with several Root Maggots. The visceral rot hidden by purple and white flesh.

I would argue our collective attention span has been limited by our media formats we consume.

It is fascinating watching in real time the reversion to Hieroglyphs.

How many words till you cross that goal?

You got this!

Brain Fog [2/2]

Thick fog floats and glides through icy air
On cold metal it gathers in a huddle.
Simply isnt fair Im stuck in a chair.
The bell rings, all into coats they struggle
Run out the door and their cheeks do ruddle.

An adult, insides wild
Having to be mild
Wishing to be a child.
