#WritingWonders 16. How comfortable are you with writing kissing and/or intimacy scenes?

Oh-oh. I once wrote a romance novella for a publisher launching an imprint like Mills and Boon. The biggest comment I got from the editor was "Dilman, this is a romance. You have to give your readers a hot-hot-hot scene! Saying 'they kissed' and 'they made love' is a big cheat and a big no-no!"

Uhm.... well, in films I do sex scenes without batting an eyelid. But in prose...... I don't know why I avoid it.
