I knew there was a reason I haven't tried to write guysex like this in...what, eight years? Give or take. Bad enough that I--no lie--broke out into giggling when I typed the word 'cock'. (Ffs, I've read these sort of things for how damned long now? Even've had the words in my head all damned day and it was *fine*. ) Then blargh, it just all falls to bits. I've just been words words words words words *all week*, finally in the home stretch and then I get giggly and *then* it grinds to an absolute and utter halt as Yay! the words just disappear somewhere. Hours on this bit now, and I've managed to eek out maybe three (tiny) paragraphs of it.
Also, had another moment there of thinking I was 34, which is still like a couple months early. Was gonna go 'am I 34 or 3+4 = 7 hur hur' when I was like...wait, I'm 33.
And it doesn't help to have an outline to refer to when the whole rest of the scene is summarized by one bullet note: "teh pr0n". Oh, way to go, me. /golfclap
10K+ words though, before it all locked up. Suppose that's worth something.

Date: 2007-06-30 04:20 pm (UTC)I...I don't even have any tricks to share to try to make it better. The best thing I've ever been able to come up with is the gung-ho approach of not second-guessing myself at all, writing down every single thing that drops into my brain the moment I think it, and then, at the end, looking back to see whether it was even anatomically possible, much less sexy.
Er, unless you count the times when I'm at work, spending half my day thinking very intently about boysex, so I can outline the porn. The porn. Dear god.
COWORKER: Hey, can you help me--
COYO: NO.
COWORKER: But...but why--
COYO: I'M THINKING ABOUT PORN.
COWORKER: .....
COYO: .....
COWORKER: All day?
Anyway, good luck, hon!!! You can do it!!!

Date: 2007-06-30 08:26 pm (UTC)But to be honest, I had definitely spent the whole day thinking about teh pr0n, and had imagined how all the words were gonna go, which was why I was so very irked when they went poof. Damned words are such little teasing tarts /shakes fist Sleep helped (damned insomnia the night before kinda had me crashing I think). That and the whole daydream in the shower trick. And a canned coffee drink. :D :D I'm so going to dedicate this to caffeine, just watch me, I will~! ♥
Suppose it wasn't surprising to have trouble with the bit though. That time I wrote something years ago was the one and only time I've ever attempted it (and oh god was it fangirl bad). I never usually feel inclined to include sex. (Brain: OH HAI GUESS WHAT *REALLY* NEEDS TO BE PART OF THIS FIC Me: OH GOD NO Brain: HA HA HA) Now I truly feel for you in regards to the whole INSxYou thing.

Date: 2007-06-30 09:08 pm (UTC)3433, married for over a decade, I've read fanfic since about 1998, voraciously read romance novels of EVERY type between age 13 and my mid-20s, snooped at magazine and video porn since my teens, hentai stuff since my 20s...yet I giggle to write sex. Yeaaaaaaah, my brain makes sense. Though I was the kid in gradeschool where if someone said the word "toilet plunder", I'd about fall out of my desk giggling. I suppose some things never change. :DAnd thank you ♥ Wasn't a daily total, but for the week, but not bad yeah. :) I think that's why I tend to write maybe around a thousand words in a fic-bit, because things grind to a halt that soon.
