Some people make fun of clean romance. It's actually the most difficult form of romance to write...

I have this theory: every romance writer, I don't care the steam level of their preferred writing choice, should write a clean romance once. It's the most difficult form of romance there is to write! I'm always amused when I run across someone who makes fun of clean romance, diminishes the value of being able to create love in a lyrical sense rather than the graphic. Think about it: you have to create moving and emotion charged sex scenes without writing about sex. You can't take short-cuts and use the P or the E or the F or the C word to get your point across(no pun intended).  You share how love should feel rather than show how they are using their bodies. And ultimately, you have to paint a thorough enough portrait that the reader gets an enjoyable dose of the passion in the romance of your characters that they can identify it with a feeling or need within themselves. This is not an easy task, when you have to think of endless substitutes for the correct words for human anatomy and suggest a position without letting your H say, "Yo babe, get your knees on the edge of the bed!"

If you can create as an author beautiful love scenes in the clean romance spirit, I have a firm belief that if you write romance with high heat levels and, I would say The Girl on the Half Shell qualifies as high heat level, then those scenes will be all the better, all the more emotion stirring because you've taken time to learn the discipline required to make a good sex scene a total experience for your characters on the page and your readers.

To write about sex to simply write about the sex act is easy. To write about sex without ever writing about sex is an art.
