NOVEL NEXT 264: Pulling Isn’t Required
It was time to tell HC Maron, my favorite author, what I thought about his sapphic spicy chapters. All. Fifty. Pages.
Ayela: ready?
HC: no
Ayela: wanna run away?
HC: kinda
Ayela: tell me what you're thinking right now
HC: no
Ayela: HC, come on, you've gotta talk about this
HC: how bad is it?
Ayela: tell me how you feel about what you've written
HC: arghhhh. it was torture
Ayela: and now that it's done?
HC: I want to burn it
Ayela: it's not bad enough to burn. I don't think you should burn it.
HC: really?
Ayela: of course not! it's their first time, HC, and it's yours
HC: lol. omg. this is nonsense
Ayela: I'm glad you see that. better?

HC: yeah. thx for being gentle to this WLW smut virgin
Ayela: lol. omg, this is too funny
HC: and horrifying
Ayela: okay, so, I have some ideas
HC: oh god
Ayela: that's what she said
HC: HAAAAAAA
Ayela: or maybe she didn't say it enough
HC: NOOOOOOOO
Ayela: that's defs not what she said
HC: YESSSSSSSSS
Ayela: that's what the scene needs: more of that
HC: I know! LMAO. It took them fifty pages
Ayela: and a lot of cleaning supplies.
HC: that sounds kinda dirty
Ayela: only it wasn't
HC: LOL. OMG. okay, I can fix it, right?
Ayela: you tell me. I mean, if this were an experience you were having in your personal life, is this how it would go?
HC: no way
Ayela: so, make some adjustments. You can keep all the lead up, or a lot of the lead up, but take some of it out. Separate those endless pages so they can be used in other chapters, right? Can you do that?
HC: I doubt anyone ever needs to have such a clean house
Ayela: lol, well, the tenderness and intimacy between the two of them is special, and I'd hate to lose that.
HC: thanks. I love that aspect of them too. But, it's long winded, I know. Because I had a hard time writing what needed to happen.
Ayela: yeah, it reads that way, HC. You know I don't want to put you down or make fun of you, right?
HC: oh, I know, Ayela, you probably hate criticizing me, and that's what makes this okay. You're not being critical. If anything, you're trying to help me. I appreciate that. Right. We don't have to keep talking about it. You're not telling me anything I don't already know. I can edit. I can fix it.
Ayela: there is one other thing
HC: oh god
Ayela: it's the knees, HC
HC: knees? the kisses?
Ayela: lol, no, keep that bit. it's hot. This, HC: why would anyone get on their knees for a handy?
HC: LMAO. LOL. Oh god. I think I'm gonna die right now.
Ayela: Do you need help writing a tongue scene?
HC: oh jesus, no, please dear god can this conversation be over
Ayela: it cannot. I am saving you from embarrassing yourself
HC: is that what you're doing?
gif of shame
Ayela: so, either tongue whilst on knees, or take out the knees and find another posture.
HC: lol. omg, the most important part, and I really couldn't pull it off, could I?
Ayela: well, I'm not sure how to answer that since pulling isn't required
HC: oh hell, my stomach hurts I'm laughing so hard
Ayela: we're done now. I believe in you, and I expect a revised copy within 56 hours.
HC: you got it.
Ayela: 👋
HC: 👋 And Ayela, thx. You're a gem.
Ayela: I know. 💜
He was adorable, truly. And yeah, I laughed at him behind his back. Kindly. With love. And giggles.
