"(For erotica) You have to have an escalation for how the s*x scenes build on each other, in that sense of things getting more and more serious."Cassandra Rose Clarke knows how to play with genres. She teaches writing classes across multiple genres and has written over 70 novels - working with official tie-in books like Star Trek, Halo, etc. We chat on what defines an erotica as opposed to a romance - and how language is essential in building the right emotion for salacious scenes. We also theorize on genre-mixing and how stories can incorporate erotic elements.Cassandra's Books:https://amzn.to/3VlZHklConnect with Cassandra:http://www.cassandraroseclarke.com/Instagram: @cassandraroseclarkeTwitter: @seeorseaFacebook: @authorcassandraroseclarkeTumblr: @cassandraroseclarkeGoodreads: 5331983.Cassandra_Rose_Clarke--------Spicy Blurb Playbook (DIY course):Use code ROMANCETHESTORY for 10% offwww.spicyblurbplaybook.comBook Blurb Magic (DIY course):Use code ROMANCETHESTORY for 10% offhttps://adoracopyediting.thrivecart.com/book-blurb-magic/?coupon=ROMANCETHESTORY1:1 Blurb Audit (Separate from DIY course):Use code ROMANCETHESTORY for 10% offhttps://adoracopyediting.thrivecart.com/11-blurb-audit/?coupon=ROMANCETHESTORYCustom Book Blurb Service with Jessie (Separate from DIY course):https://adoracopyediting.thrivecart.com/custom-book-blurb/?coupon=ROMANCETHESTORY----------Time Stamps[0:04:35] Erotica and romance can overlap.[00:06:21] Erotica and romance can overlap.[00:12:39] Erotica should have emotional connection.[00:16:41] Erotica often requires explicit content.[00:21:04 Erotic scenes enhance storytelling experience.[00:26:09] Fantasy romance is legitimate genre.[00:30:56] Exploring sexuality in speculative fiction.[00:36:04] Language and context shape intimacy.[00:44:49] Integrate sex scenes with plot.[00:46:12] Pay attention to language in sex scenes.----------Books Mentioned:Linnea Sinclair's Bookshttps://amzn.to/3pm0e9TFinley Fenn's Bookshttps://amzn.to/41gjoeXStrange Love by Ann Aguirrehttps://amzn.to/3NPOR4AThe Red by Tiffany Reiszhttps://amzn.to/3VIHVbb---------The YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPcGXevs2NQk3Ab9OD66zuQSupport the Showhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/romancethestoryConnect with Me:Twitter - @RomancetheStoryInstagram - @RomancetheStoryFacebook - @RomancetheStory Music: Strawberry Flavor Love by Daystarhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMi0dxVgqvoSupport the show
