The "hypothetical basement" came about this morning as my sister was telling me how her own basement (a real one under the house) was now sparkly clean, dry and ready to have her other half's extra stuff placed in it when he moves in next week........... Now when I suggested that if I had a basement it would be just a sparkly clean, she laughed!
Now admittedly the conversation just before this had centred on my writing, and specifically my LHNB story which she had been helping me with by answering stupid questions like... what is my character's cat called? and what is the name of the Italian restaurant they are eating at? She knows there is some smut involved, but chooses not to get involved in that.
However, for some reason she found it hysterically funny that I've had to work through my "no sex, I'm British" moment over the last few days....... Now I can talk smut, personal preferences and just about any form of kink to my friends (overshare? never! no such thing!!) ... but I was having some problems putting it in writing.......... last year my LiAW story prompter asked for story, not sex, and if there was non graphic or fade to black was fine. Normally if I am writing I write YA. This year though my prompter had specifically said the climax of the story shouldn't be the sex scene...... which meant there had to be some action during the story......
It just didn't seem right to be writing these things during the hours of daylight.......... smutty scenes are written at night, in the dark, with the curtains shut so the neighbours can't see......... Well that was Thursday.........since when I seem to have overcome my natural inclinations and embraced the smutty side.......so when I had finished telling my sister, she decreed that I whilst my body might be sitting in the kitchen writing, my mind was obviously lurking in the hypothetical basement where it's never quite completely clean .... I'm just wondering if I wander around my basement I'll discover the link to the wine cellar.........
