Writing
Fluff
Author
Sharita Lira
Today
I wanted to speak about writing fluff. What’s fluff? Well, coming
from the word fluffy it means soft and comfortable right? So when
writing something considered fluff in my opinion it means the same.
What’s wrong with this? In my world, nothing at all.
I’ve
read plenty of authors who’ve written some fluffy stories that have
little tension and they’ve been some of the most enjoyable books
I’ve ever read. To me, it matters what the characters say. What do
they want and when do they want to get together? At times when I sit
down to write out the character outlines and a list of details in
chronological order, I already know how quickly my two people will
get together for their happy ever after. Sometimes it happens within
30k, other times a lot longer.
In
the book, I
Like Em Pretty M/M,
the characters don’t have sex until around 50k. Its’ filled with
tension, a murder, and some suspense along the way. This is one of
the few books I’ve written where this occurs, but in my mind this
isn’t an issue. Whatever an author feels comfortable writing they
should do it. To me, being multifaceted is the key. Do I want to
write only
fluff? No, but I won’t be opposed to it. I allow my characters to
guide me when I sit down to write. Whatever Nathan and Bryant or even
Kajika and Frankie say should be done is usually the way I go. This
works for me and I hope the readers appreciate it too. If not, I
totally understand. The great thing about fiction is there’s plenty
to choose from.
As
a reader I look at a wide variety of stories. Sure more tension and
angst makes the getting together part if there is one a lot hotter
but at times, I want to sit down with “Roger” (my kindle) and
read a romance that takes me away from the world. Perhaps it’s a
fantasy paranormal or even just a contemporary romance where the
characters are together within 20k. Am I mad when this happens? No.
I’ve read plenty of romances, some of the het, where I felt the
characters story was complete in 100 pages or less. It’s all in the
mindset and in my opinion, the same applies to writing.
So
in conclusion, do I love the fluff? Yes. Do I love the angsty and
tension filled? Still yes. In my opinion, everyone should be able to
write and read what they like. If fluff isn’t your thing, then you
have the right to move on. If you don’t like a lot of tension, you
can skip it. Me, I like it both ways! *smiles*
Blurb: You
can never tell a book by it's cover!
On the surface, Isaac Bridges has it all; wealth, a beautiful wife, and a successful career. But deep down, he desires Denton & Associates back under his family’s name and a male lover he can call his own.
Enter Jayden Demario, a handsome college student looking to make a career in advertising. Underneath the pretty exterior, Jayden is a very damaged young man. Thrown out on the streets by his stepfather at 15, Jayden's only concern is to make something of himself to move his "madre" from the tough neighborhood.
Jayden has no time for love, especially not with a closeted married man who runs the company he interns at and Isaac can ill afford to out himself to the homophobic CEO at Denton.
Will the sparks between the two men cost them their livelihood?
