Iāve been having a knotty little problem of how to āsort ofā resolve a row between two lovers. Well, thereās the obvious way, isnāt there? The post row bonkathon. Only Iāve never written a sex scene before. There werenāt any in the first book and if I have someone who reads that and, gods forfend, want to read the second obviously I donāt want it to suddenly be erotica. So, how to go about it? How to insinuate it all without any āAnd then Tab A was inserted in Slot B, and everyone was sweaty, a little sticky but above all happyā
So to take my mind off it I go back to reading āAmerican Gods,ā by Neil Gaimen. An excellent book btw, and I love his depiction of Odin. Shame about Thor, heās my favourite god. So there I am, reading about a zombie blowing maggots out of her nose when BOOM, it hits me. Inspiration for a really quite sweet / tender / passionate making up after a blazing row though still pretty pissed at each other love scene with very little Tab A and Slot B action.
