Were I a TV screenwriter, then of course one has to prevent changing channels in the first ten minutes. The written word allows for a bit more leeway. Yes, no question my stories require patience, and if that's too much then change channels and start on someone else's 5 minute potboiler. I opt for a solid foundation built at the start.
More sex.
"Moderation. Small helpings. Sample a little bit of everything. These are the secrets of happiness and good health." ~ Julia Child
There's no lack of hot sex scenes in the stories posted here. A little dash of cayenne pepper adds zest; three cups adds up to inedible. I choose to present an alternative, to let the reader's imagination help the story along by filling in what I deliberately leave out. My role model for fiction writing is the style of the old time radio dramas from the 30's and 40's. Much is implied, very little is explicit.
That's also why I never describe a character's physical appearance. That's also the responsibility of the reader. If a portrayal resonates, well then the reader can insert herself by replacing "she" with "me". A PG rating? I'll settle for that any day. Turn on the TV for R rated.
As always I appreciate anyone who takes the time to post a comment on my stories. If nothing else I now know someone actually reads what I create.
