I definitely appreciate the advice, and I plan on putting it to very good use. I've read so many perfect intimate scenes in books that I think I've built them up to be a lot bigger and scarier than they really are. ;) Thank, Liz!

I believe, if you want an intimate scene to be important in a romance - not just going through the moves - you have to concentrate on the emotional aspect. What the characaters are feeling, experiencing as they accept this new part of their growing relationship. What does the surrender of self mean to them? How does it change things not just between them, but personally. The biggest organ being used in this scene, is the brain. :) Good luck with the approaching “big scene”, Margo.

I also tried approaching it as if I was writing a "different" novel when I was writing. Good luck with your novel!

I attempted it last yr, but an onslaught of morning sickness forced me to give it up. I've really gotten away from fiction writing, so this might be a fun challenge to see if I can get into it again. If nothing else, it's a great disipline and exercise in writing! I wish you the best of luck! .-= Rachel @ Pen Meets Wallet´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PenMeetsWallet/~3/sgIhAf5HHbw/september-earnings-update.html" rel="nofollow">September Earnings Update</a> =-.
