Fight scenes and sex scenes

These are some of the scenes people are having trouble writing. They can be wild, compassionate, confusing, you name it.
So let’s start off with fight scenes. I’ve never done karate, or actually been in a real fight in my life. (Bitch fight obviously, but no fist fight.) It’s kinda hard to describe exact actions when it’s all so messy and fast-happening, and try to not lose the reader halfway through. But don’t cut down on the details. As I know nothing about fighting I have studied fight scenes from movies, and series. Every time an awesome fight scene comes along I’ll write down what movie/series and where, and then later study it step by step, while I write it down to learn the hang of it as an exercise.
To slow down the ‘time’ to be able to get the details right you could use phrases like:
- Several things happened simultaneously (then description)
- he ____, at the same time I ____
- I ___, but it was too late, he had already ____

Sex scenes:
They can be dirty, passionate, kinky, fast or slow or everything mixed together. Here it’s always a good idea to have some ‘experience’ to go after. Or just watch a lot of porn. Anyway, some find it embarrassing to write dirty sex scenes, so the details come to a minimum, and the whole act is too short. Don’t be afraid to get wild and find your inner kinky side and bring it out to the light. Live in the moment, close your eyes and imagine how it feels. What are your characters ‘sweet spots’? What are their kinks? I always enjoy a beer or two to be honest when I write most of my sex scenes, but it isn’t a must. It’s more for the coziness of it. Some sex scenes just come naturally, others start as a less detailed run through of the events, and then later comes the dirty details.
 There’s many ways to do it, find out how you’re most comfortable writing them. Here it can be an advantage to be ‘in the mood’ actually. Let yourself be carried away when he bites his lower lip in that special way, his tongue running hungrily over it too while he has that dirty gleam in his eyes, the way his hands runs over the others skin, that appreciative and slightly involuntary moan that leaks his lips when she let her lips brush over his sweet spot… got the point yet? I’ll say this much, if your panties/boxers ain’t partying when you write it, it isn’t good enough. If you don’t get turned on by creating this romantic or dirty environment, how’ll the reader be? Not everything is for everybody, but if you don’t put passion into it, the reader can feel it. But they can also feel if you pulled your panties down, and found the vibrator (boxers down, and found the lotion, for guys) while you’re at it. As simple as that. Don’t think how your mom or siblings will think or react when they read it, write it like no one in the world were supposed to see it.

A few tips to have in mind while you write sex scenes:
- Details, details, juicy details!
- Where are their hands? At all times.
- Looking at each other?
- Moans, cries, and grunts.
- Kisses – how are they? There’s lot of variations to kissing. I think we’ll take this in a separate section below.
- Position?
- Sweat, if you’re really going at it there’ll be sweat, and sweat is sexy as hell.
- Dirty talking. Yes, this isn’t for everybody, but just a few classic lines like “You’re so wet.”, “You’re so big.”, “Yes, right there.”, “Yes, like that.” will do fine.

The kissing:
It can be soft, wild, long, short, with or without tongue, including teeth, be all over the body.
The line ‘He kissed me.’ is actually just as boring as ‘He said.’ (Check my post ‘Said is dead’. You can also find it under ‘writing tips’)
Was it long, short, soft, harsh, blah, blah, blah. You know the drill. Be creative, feel it, let go and run along with it. To peek your creativity I’ll give you 10 examples from ‘The Hunt’. (Copyright, please do not use these exact phrases, they’re meant as an example and help. Be creative, use your own words, and gestures/behavior fitting your character.)

- “Let’s get back.” He whispered, kissed me softly, and then his body left mine.
- He harshly and suddenly broke off the kiss. 
- My surprised exclaim had given his tongue access, and firmly dominated the kiss.
- And then he fiercely kissed me. The sudden attack on my lips almost paralyzed me.
- His body shuddered against mine, and he moaned into the kiss with me.
- I lifted my head, and leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on his lips.
- She kissed and bit my neck, and the skin around my right ear, I couldn’t help but moan.
- Now where my hands were free I stared to caress her, and kissed her neck all the way up to her ear.
- His lips kissed me softly one more time.
- He felt my mood, his grip on me tightened, and suddenly his lips and tongue took over the steering, and kissed me back with such strength he would have made me take a step back if it wasn’t for his arm around my waist.

I hope these 10 juicy sneak peek kisses have peeked your creativity, but also your interest in my book series ‘The Hunt’ where we follow Val and Jakes journey through their abusive relationship, and their hunt for vampires. Especially Sinanima, who killed Val’s mom, and tried to kill Jake when he was only 10 years old. You can read an excerpt from the first book in ‘The Hunt’ series under the tab, obviously called ‘Excerpt from The Hunt 1’
