Submitted the first chapter without a real sex scene. Scary moment! We all love sex, and to submit a chapter that's pure action, story, and character development without any arousing scenes means the story has to stand on those elements alone.
No boobs! No shwingshwongs or vagingoes. Moments like these tell me whether people genuinely like the story, or if they only read what I write for the sex scenes (and my habit of making them really long.)
