sex and writing, oh my!

mickeymI think I'm the only person in the western hemisphere not watching the Oscars. Ah, well. If there is anyone else not watching, feel free to come on in here and chat :)
I'm trying to work up to the final couple of scenes in the sweet charity fic I'm working on. OMG writing sex, y'all. O_O I know I've said this before, and I also know that no one really believes me... but I don't like writing sex. Or, okay, it's not that I don't like writing it. It's more... I always worry that it's going to sound stilted, or mechanical, or just...anything but hot, sexy, arousing -- y'know, basically, how sex should read.
I was trying to explain this to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cormallen a few minutes ago, and basically it boils down to "do you have ANY idea how much I've written? I've been in fandom since, oh, right about now... circa 1996.
So I decided to figure out the stats, as it were. *g*
Not counting all the (probably) dozens of ficlets and drabbles I've done, and just titled, posted stories... I have roughly 325 stories written in 11 different fandoms, over 13 years (and if I counted correctly, 46 of those are co-authored, written withjessie_s_girl, pierson, halowrites, nopseud, silveryscrape and lazy_daze).
78 of those I have listed as "not rated" or are G, PG, PG-13 -- in other words, no sex, or not enough to warrant a higher rating.
So roughly 3/4s of everything I've ever written, has a rating of R or higher *g* And I don't write a lot of violence stuff, I mean sometimes there's violence in it, but I don't think I've ever written anything that had to have a higher rating just because of the violence.
Hmm. I probably should put the story up for tonight now, and go to bed--because the thing I hate more than anything, is starting to write a scene that's going to have sex in it... and getting interrupted. Having to stop and start again.
Damn, and SO close, too. *headdesk* Guess I shouldn't have stopped to figure out my stats, huh? *g*
Hope y'all are enjoying the Oscars!
