Every so often I come to a point where I could easily take the Suzie’s House story in a couple of different directions. I am at such a point right now.
About a month ago Ash asked for a love scene. I promised to deliver one as quickly as I could arrange it. I believe she was looking for something between Miranda and Vin, but it turns out the first opportunity for one is between Suzie and Drew.
Because my audience – particularly the part of my audience who approach me in town but never leave messages – tends to be a mixed bunch I have decided to keep this blog as close to a PG 13 rating as I can. If I didn’t, I suspect Mr. Al would be even more bloody minded in his history posts, some of the jokes I post would be more risque, and Suzie would get a bit more graphic. Those of you who have read Zackly Right will know what I mean.
I can’t give you a PG 13 love scene. I simply don’t have the dot dot dots in me. What I can do is set up a newsletter to which you can subscribe only if you are of age, put a cleaned up version of the scene on the blog and put the real love scene on the newsletter. I would only ever use the newsletter for those scenes of Suzie’s House that I can’t put on the blog.
So option 1 would be to set up a newsletter and next week provide those readers who subscribe with a love scene between Suzie and Drew. For several weeks now I’ve been toying with what to do about Ben. There are a lot of things I’d like to say about being a kid, teachers, school, the nature of family and divorce which I intend to vent through Ben. I already have a few paragraphs written from Ben’s point of view which I have every intention of posting soon. Like it or not, you’re going to be seeing a lot of Ben in the next few weeks.
Option 2 would be to skip the love scene and go straight to Ben.
There are a number of other things I could do next week. For instance, Christina asked to be written into the story as a particular kind of character some time ago. I’m about ready to bring in the character. Also, it has been suggested that I write something from a villains’ point of view. I could easily do so. I could do something in which Suzie and Drew ALMOST get it on, but not quite. I could surprise us all, myself included.
Option 3 is to pull a rabbit out of the hat and hope it doesn’t come back to bite me later.
Option 4 would be the promise of a love scene in the next couple of weeks, with the newsletter set up now, but to go straight to Ben next Friday.
Here’s your chance to make an impact on Suzie’s House. Let me know what you would like to see next week, and that’s where we will go.
