I’ve just never been perceived as someone who has a dirty mind. When I first started writing, I couldn’t write the sex scenes if there was anyone else home because I blush through the whole process (although I’ve gotten a lot more used to it now).

I stutter and fidget and it’s just generally not very attractive. As a redhead, my face turns an instant red when the topic comes up. People may not guess this about me (especially after reading a few of the scenes in my books) but I have a hard time talking about sex. The rest of the words seemed to flow naturally, but then when it came time to describe the sexy bits, I got stuck. When I first started writing, I think the foreign-ness of writing that type of scene threw me off a bit. I’m not sure why, but for whatever reason, the sex scenes always take me three times longer to write than a normal scene. The most difficult scenes for me to write? The answer is easy. The words come really quickly when I’m writing a conversation between the characters, so much that I often forget to write anything other than their words and I have to go back afterwards and add in all the extra stuff that actually makes up the scene. One of the questions I’ve been asked a few times is which are the scenes that I find the easiest and the most difficult to write.Īs for the easiest scenes to write, the answer would probably be dialogue. So please join me in giving her a big welcome! She has also brought a sexy excerpt, as well as a copy to give away to one lucky reader. Cate is here to share more about her release, Brokenhearted. Hello everyone! Today I am so happy to welcome author (and fellow redhead) Cate Ashwood to Joyfully Jay.
