Steam Scenes

Steam Scenes took a brief hiatus (sorry! book deadlines!), but we’re back with Emery Jacobs. When she got stymied writing her first intimate scene, she turned to Penthouse Forum for inspiration! We talk about reading our own cringy bits, writing angst without meaning to, and our characters can hurt our hearts a little. We can’t wait to light your ears on fire!

This week’s guest is Stefanie London. Stefanie actually conducts workshops on writing the naughty bits, so there’s a lot of golden advice in this episode. We talk about how tapping into the weather helps her create intimate moments on the page, why writers should use craft books as revision tools, not writing tools; and how she finds writing tension between characters more gratifying than the steamy moments.

Sascha Illyvich’s, called the gentleman playboy of romance, joins me for this episode! He shares his insight on writing male characters, the line between erotic and romance, and the importance of doing your research when writing BDSM. Much of our conversation is centered on dark romance, and while I don’t think this episode needs a trigger warning, please proceed with caution if these topics are unsettling to you. xo
