This is so good, Gina! (Your thoughtful beta reader notes on my novel’s steamy scene were invaluable!) ❤️

"The only way I’ve figured out how to do it is to dissociate from myself as I write them." ; )

Love this, Gina! Such great advice, especially about remembering this is a specific story with specific characters and all their unique dimensions that don't disappear once they're in the bedroom. Excellent, succinct advice--it is a skill to make this stuff seem easy!! Two of my fave steamy authors are Talia Hibbert and Helen Hoang.

I have never had sourdough chocolate chip cookies! Can I even call myself a connoisseur?!?

They are soooo good, especially if you have a sourdough starter
