Tried switching up the perspective on Valentine’s Flowering, and that’s not really helping.  I’m just not getting the spark on this one, the catalyst that would reasonably ( within my reality ) get to the sex.

Think I’m going to shelve this one for a while and work on something else.  Probably “Heart-Shaped Box”.

Of course, thinking about that one, I haven’t really come up with the spark for it yet, either.  A lot of the time, that spark happens as I’m writing the opening – defining the characters and getting them into the same place at the same time.  That might hold true for this one as well.  Hope so, or that I get another idea, because I’d really like to have something in the contest.

Not that I’ll ever win LOL  I just like the added exposure.  The only real chance you have to win is with Romance, Sci-Fi, NonHuman, GayMale, or one of the other categories that gets fewer, but higher votes.  I’m fine with that.  I know it going in, and the money isn’t that important to me.  Even the commissions I do are trades for things I find useful.
