I'm having some problems with a project but for the life of me I'm getting page blindness with what's going wrong with it.

I've shifted into a new area (hah, shifted genre in general: my usual comfort/published zone is poetry), but this one's (dark) romance sci-fi (and probably more at the erotic end at that (so content is graphic but not gratuitous)).

It's the whole romance element that's tripping me up. I'm not uncomfortable with writing in the romance genre, I'm just not sure if the romance genre is comfortable with me. (confused: me too).

If anyone thinks they may/could be able to help, mostly just by reading and general opinion, it would be a massive, massive help.

Can you PM if you can spare some time?

I'll read it too, if you'd like... I have read an unbelievable amount of romance, and I'm currently writing it, so I understand the difficulties... I re-read my sex scenes and it's just awkward!

Hi, I'd be glad to read for you. I read lots of romance, erotic and otherwise. Writing it is more difficult. Would love to help out if needed. I do understand the awkwardness of writing out the scenes.
