Question. Is Nick and Izzie's story published or in progress?
ReplyDeleteOoops, Kathryn, please see my reply below.
DeleteIt's work in progress. I started it as a vanilla-ish novel (steamy but very little kink, please read Good Girl to get a sense of it, it's from the first part) and was almost through, then one day I wrote a spanking scene that when wrong and in attempt to fix it went into massive research. Read about it in Dear Bonnie post, if you are interested. And for all the stories published so far, please click on My Stories or Almond Croissant. Why the almond croissant, you ask? Because Izzie says, it's the most important food group, that's why!
ReplyDeleteActually, I wrote it first as a screenplay, as a pilot for TV series. I know, quite ambitious, then I wrote three more episodes and realized that I cannot even submit it as you can only submit a pilot. Aaaand... I decided to rewrite it as a book. That was quite a challenge, as I never wrote in a book format before. I loved (note the past tense!) to only write the dialogue. Writing the feels or lengthy descriptions was very foreign to me, as you can't do that in scripts.
Now, as per the kinky part of the novel, I'm in the process of going back and sprinkling the crumbs like the part with Azotarme Duro shorts or backflashes and nightmares of her first husband, like in Death, Taxes, and Belt.
Thanks for the info. The stories all read like chapters to me. In other words, they feel like they are part of a whole, rather than single pieces or stories. As for being "vanilla," my husband is more like Nick. Not in role playing, so much, but as far as spanking goes. He threatens it more than delivers. He is alpha, however, and believes what he says goes. I must admit that the threat of a spanking does more for me than any swat could. It's the dominance I respond to, not the pain. I'm curious. Did you publish the story about the spanking scene that went wrong on your blog? I'd be interested in your take on the scene and why it failed. As for dialogue, I'm a drama major, so writing the dialogue is usually my start, and then I add in the narrative to complement it and heighten the tension. Narrative isn't easy for me, either. The emotion of the scene comes from what they think, say and do, not from scene setting or description. And I try to reveal back story through present action. Any description I add is intended to enhance the reader's understanding of my characters' state of being. I could say more, but won't for now. Glad to have you join Saturday Spankings.
ReplyDeleteKathryn, I was so excited to see your thorough reply, and now I'm struggling with how to respond to it. IMHO, dominance can exist without any punishment component, especially natural dominance. But let's not mix fiction with reality, as all my stories are fictional, and yes, they are not standalone stories but excerpts from the future book.
DeleteMy biggest dilemma is that I butchered my lovely vanilla novel (steamy vanilla with a few kinks here and there) by throwing it into the direction of spanking, I was even trying to keep it at PG-13 but, alas, that train left the station long time ago.
I didn't post that very first spanking scene yet, but I still stand my ground that I got it right, on pure intuition. It's highly controversial even within the spanko realm. I don't like labels, but I think the closest is a Service Dom, that's what Nick will become to Izzie, and I never read any novels about Service Doms, it's almost like a curse word or so I heard.
The scene was inspired by the famous spanking scene in Outlander, that's what Izzie was watching on TV. Now, to whet your appetite:
Nick yanks the door to the drawing room, and with the sound of the opening door, the TV goes off, but not before he could catch a glimpse of what Izzie was watching, and he doesn't like it, not one little bit.
"I saw it, you were watching it again, you perv," Nick points at the black TV screen.
"I can't help myself,” she protests. "It's hot as fuck."
"Darling, you can't admit it in the civilized society." Nick sinks into the couch, and she straddles his hips.
"We won't stay civilized for long. What is my safeword?" Hand curled around his neck, she whispers in his ear.
"Don Quixote. I want to stay civilized."
And I posted more about it and a major teaser to that scene here:
