Not strictly what happened, but close enough. I’m not really uncomfortable with writing about people who want things I never wanted, and I didn’t actually write stuff I later deleted, but I did think about whether it was creepy for me to write detailed accounts of teens making out.<\/p>\n

But considering most YA authors are adults who are just drawing on their own experiences as young adults, I probably just need to quit overthinking. And hopefully not sound like a clueless person when I try to write physically intimate scenes. I just want it to be sweet and exciting, but stopping short of, like, erotic or whatever.<\/p>\n

(Also, meet Joanne & Kamber, the romantic couple of my NaNoWriMo novel, In Bloom<\/em>. And yes, I won.)<\/p>\n
