Sex scenes are omnipresent in chick-lit. If it hasn’t happened yet, it most probably will at some point - OR at least one character is thinking about it! So - how do you even begin to write one?
Harriet’s first guest on A Truth Universally Acknowledged is Daisy Buchanan. Daisy has written several non-fiction books, but her most recent release “Insatiable” was her first foray into fiction. As Harriet describes “it’s a total romp”. The pair break down the intimate details of writing a sex scene, including how to take your character from one place to the next, without getting too lost in the romance of it all.
Harriet and Daisy reminisce over their shared love of Jilly Cooper novels, and ask the question; if Jilly can do it - can you?
Plus - each week Harriet gives you a creative exercise to get some of those juices flowing and she’s starting with a chocolate-based activity - Hurrah!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman at the start of a midlife crisis needs a creative project. So writer, journalist and broadcaster Harriet Minter is writing a book….. A “chick-lit” novel (don’t worry, we’ll be discussing that term). A genre that is both critiqued and loved in equal parts.
Join Harriet for the writing journey, as she navigates story arcs, character traits and plots. In every episode you’ll hear from authors who have been there and done it and friends who can help crack problems that Harriet has been dealing with in her novel each week.
