And thank you for providing a place for stories that include sex (if need be.)<br /><br />Not every story needs sex, but it's hard to write Bo without being sexy. That's a big part of her. And it's fun to write.Clair D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18081744733758211094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969150854665923178.post-20132948603375162722009-04-16T08:51:00.000-04:002009-04-16T08:51:00.000-04:00Clair,

More often than not, sex doesn't come into the mix at all. But it's there for them to use if they so choose.<br /><br />I can't imagine how constraining it is for a writer not to be able to write about something that we all have had or at least fantasized about having. <br /><br />I can't imagine because I've never held myself back from using sex in my own fiction.<br /><br />For those that have thought about using sex in their mystery, crime or noir fiction and have hesitated, I have three words:<br /><br />Just do it.<br /><br />You'll respect yourself in the morning.Christopher Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581243409967241320noreply@blogger.com
