The Basics of Erotic Writing

Assignment - A1

Assignment A-1

         Create an established couple to work with for the next six weeks. They do not have to be married, but must be a couple with baggage we can work with. You have 1,000 words to play with for this assignment. Write from one character's point of view ONLY, no head-hopping. Here's your setup: One character has had a rough day at work and wants to unwind with their partner. Focus on TOUCH for this assignment. We are not taking them to bed yet but instead using the intimacy of hugging, kissing, holding hands, etc, what the slightest touch can do to a person, how it affects them, and changes their mood, thinking, etc. Please avoid using the word FEEL as much as possible. If you start to write it, close your eyes, imagine it happening, and write what the sensation feels like instead of using the word itself.
