For those of you following the saga from home, in the two weeks since my last post, this poet wrote a novel, or at least a 53k-word first draft.

*bangs head*

It's YA erotica — an explicit teen lesbian romance. High school students screwing around, screwing up, and picking up the pieces. Everyone is firmly under 18. Which, commercially, is a problem.

*bangs head*

Unless I figure out how dial back the explicit sex. Which looks hard, given half the emotional shifts happen during (and responding to) the sex. But then, I'm still half living in their lives, so it's not like I can see clearly. Maybe as I revise in descriptions (it's like 80% dialog) and trim the plot threads that went nowhere, I'll wrap my brain around how.

*bangs head*

Oh, and "Second Thoughts" is the title.
