SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Poety Play: Ode To A Naked Beauty!

ODE TO A NAKED BEAUTY BY: Pablo Neruda

With chaste heart, and pure
eyes

I celebrate you, my beauty,
restraining my blood
so that the line
surges and follows
your contour,
and you bed yourself in my verse,
as in woodland, or wave-spume:
earth's perfume,
sea's music.

Nakedly beautiful,
whether it is your feet, arching
at a primal touch
of sound or breeze,
or your ears,
tiny spiral shells
from the splendour of America's oceans.
Your breasts also,
of equal fullness, overflowing
with the living light
and, yes,
winged
your eyelids of silken corn
that disclose
or enclose
the deep twin landscapes of your eyes.

Nakedly beautiful,
whether it is your feet, arching
at a primal touch
of sound or breeze,
or your ears,
tiny spiral shells
from the splendour of America's oceans.
Your breasts also,
of equal fullness, overflowing
with the living light
and, yes,
winged
your eyelids of silken corn
that disclose
or enclose
the deep twin landscapes of your eyes.

Your body - from what substances
agate, quartz, ears of wheat,
did it flow, was it gathered,
rising like bread
in the warmth,
and signalling hills
silvered,
valleys of a single petal, sweetnesses
of velvet depth,
until the pure, fine, form of woman
thickened
and rested there?

It is not so much light that falls
over the world
extended by your body
its suffocating snow,
as brightness, pouring itself out of you,
as if you were
burning inside.

Under your skin the moon is alive.

Creativity is a priceless novelty that no one can take from you. It gives you that drive, determination, and the permission to be who you truly want to be.

It's your focus, and your everlasting ego that helps you to produce, shine, and lock in your flavor into your own special element.

Being creative takes work, blood, sweat and tears as you strive to achieve that something you have been wanting all of your life. Your creativity is what makes you and what you have to offer, unique in many different ways.

Today, think about your creativity and where it's taking you. Always nurture, stroke, appreciate and hold on to it so that you will always have that one special thing that no one can take from you.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Poetry Play: O Breath!

O Breath By: Elizabeth Bishop

Beneath that loved and celebrated breast,
silent, bored really blindly veined,
grieves, maybe lives and lets
live, passes bets,
something moving but invisibly,
and with what clamor why restrained
I cannot fathom even a ripple.
(See the thin flying of nine black hairs
four around one five the other nipple,
flying almost intolerably on your own breath).
Equivocal, but what we have in common's   bound to be there,
whatever we must own equivalents for,
something that maybe I could bargain with
and make a separate peace beneath
within if never with.

UGLY INSPIRATION!

Inspiration can come from any experience, relationship, friendship, and many other sources.

As we continue to live our lives we more often experience "ugly" situations, that take hold and paralyze us in more ways than we care to admit. Looking at those situations can sometime give us a story, a poem, or an essay that's meaningful.

Life is beautiful as we know it to be, and with life comes the bad, the very bad and the ugly. Getting inspired from ugly experiences can help heal those situations.

Today, as you begin to write and work on your novel or write in your journal, think about an "ugly" situation that has stopped you, paralyzed you, and gain inspiration from it. Something that is so "ugly" and so tramatic can breed a new outlook, motivation, and beautiful inspiration. That in itself can produce a story out of this world.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Thought Provoking Lit Play: Walking Down Main Street In My Prada Heels!

(Diva's House Of Literary Coffee)
Gliding and stepping down Main Street is me in my Prada heels.
Red, black and leopard is me in my fabulous heels.

Everyone is looking at me; yes the girl in the Prada Heels.
If only they knew how it truly feels; as I walk and glide in my Prada heels.

Cheap not these heels; as they were a really great steal.

I see you girl in those Prada heels; gliding and stepping out looking like a yummy meal.
It’s all in the walk, and the talk, that got me these heels.

No one knows me, but they can see I’m a fashionista in these heels.

Yes I'm the girl stepping out and gliding down Main Street, in my Prada heels.

*THE BIG BAD LITERARY WOLF-"aka" WRITER'S BLOCK!*

STOP! I HAVE WRITER'S BLOCK! I CAN'T GO ON!"

(Diva's House Of Literary Coffee) The instantaneous melt down of a writer in the moment.  It's the screeching halt we allow ourselves as writers to buy into as if we are buying into the latest scam of the year. Excuses, excuses and more excuses that we ratify so we can take a break from what we say we so-call love to do. 

The must have fad in literature that has been giving more writers grief then anything else is the big bad literary wolf "aka" writer's block.  It rings true all over the world and many have backed down from the "big bad literar wolf."  The art of writing is a very complex one depending on who you ask.  As we gear ourselves up for the creative process we sort of knowingly schedule the the big bad literary wolf  "aka" writer's block into our writing time.  The mind works on repetition and the more we subconsciously tell ourselves that we have writer's block the more it will repeat itself and interwind in the daily grind of your writing process.

Stepping up to the plate and letting this literary wolf know who's boss is what any writer must do.  If you are serious enough to break through then, getting your mind right is your writer's calling card.  It's the single most important aspect of the creative process.  In time what you think is writer's block will utltimately disappear and you will be able to keep it moving and complete your writing without any knocks from the big bad literary wolf. 

Opening your mind and taking it to the next level is very necessary as a writer.  A high stategic and high valocity of imagination is all it takes.  You the writer just have to give yourself permission to incorportate those things to put your writing in check.  The obvious is there when it comes to breaking down barries such as writer's block.  We just have to keep pushing through until we get that literary drive and keep it moving into shear explosive storytelling.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Poetry Play: "The Ballad Of The Lonely Masturbator!"

THE BALLAD OF THE LONELY MASTURBATOR BY: ANNE SEXTON

The end of the affair is always death.
She's my workshop. Slippery eye,
out of the tribe of myself my breath
finds you gone. I horrify
those who stand by. I am fed.
At night, alone, I marry the bed.


Finger to finger, now she's mine.
She's not too far. She's my encounter.
I beat her like a bell. I recline
in the bower where you used to mount her.
You borrowed me on the flowered spread.
At night, alone, I marry the bed.


Take for instance this night, my love,
that every single couple puts together
with a joint overturning, beneath, above,
the abundant two on sponge and feather,
kneeling and pushing, head to head.
At night, alone, I marry the bed.


I break out of my body this way,
an annoying miracle. Could I
put the dream market on display?
I am spread out. I crucify.
My little plum is what you said.
At night, alone, I marry the bed.


Then my black-eyed rival came.
The lady of water, rising on the beach,
a piano at her fingertips, shame
on her lips and a flute's speech.
And I was the knock-kneed broom instead.
At night, alone, I marry the bed.


She took you the way a women takes
a bargain dress off the rack
and I broke the way a stone breaks.
I give back your books and fishing tack.
Today's paper says that you are wed.
At night, alone, I marry the bed.


The boys and girls are one tonight.
They unbutton blouses. They unzip flies.
They take off shoes. They turn off the light.
The glimmering creatures are full of lies.
They are eating each other. They are overfed.


At night, alone, I marry the bed.

 Dirty Birdys On The Back 9-Nine Grimy Tales Of Golf Life


Beautiful smart and talented at golf is what this crew of dirty birdies loves to do every chance they get. Image is everything with these golfing ballerinas as they prance around on exclusive golf courses all around the world. It’s all about the game and especially where you play according to the dirty birdies. The back nine is the playground for this group of ritual bitches and they always have something to prove when it comes to their golf game.
These are sinister divas with a lot of game play, worldly experience and the chops to back it up; especially on the back nine. These divas take their golf games and sinister plots seriously only to stake their claim at mega golf courses around the world.

As the dirty birdies would say, “let’s blow this shit out on the back nine.”

Playing great golf; the dirty birdies grind it out their way because they are different in every way, especially when it comes to golf . Diva’s for sure, they know how to take over in major ways.

In every golf game, the last nine holes are the most important especially to them. As it goes, nine things take place with these vivacious divas that looks, smell, and seem like nothing else.

SWAGGING IT OUT ZOMBIE STYLE
Getting ready to putt with her well made golf club, it was like heaven as Liz brushed her shoulders off and positioned her ass to drive it home. It was instantaneous as she hit the ball like her climax came to a head the last time with the number one golfer in the world. Liz has swagger but tunnel vision swagger. At times she is gullible and with that she doesn’t think for herself and how she is a follower. However when on the golf course, especially on the back 9 her swagger is deep as she becomes immersed in her golf game. She’s rude and shrewd as her zombie swagger takes over and rips the other bitches to shreds. All in all Liz is a girls girl but; however she swags it out, it’s sure to be to the tenth power zombie style.

Denise is known for her toughness on the back nine. As a young girl growing up and playing golf she knows everything about the golf game and what really happens on the back nine. When it’s her turn to take a shot she instantly puts it into action. As she is getting ready to do just that, another group of girls who were also on the golf course started to give her a dirty look. Denise ignored them and again positioned herself to take her shot. When she was just about to drive it, one of the girls came over to her and looked her up and down. This truly made Denise mad! “What the hell are you looking at bitch!“ Denise said harshly. As she looked at her she called her more harsh names and pointed her finger toward her forehead. She then took her golf club and whacked the girl so hard that her skull cracked instantly. After doing so, she looked at the “dirty birdies and said “don’t mess with a bitch when she’s getting her golf game on.” Smiling she went back to position herself to take her shot and drove the ball for miles. Now that’s whacking bitches off on the back nine.

She has traveled to the finest golf courses all over the world to play golf. However, when it comes to the back nine Adrienne has a routine she does before taking her shot. What her routines entails is having one of her sugar daddies on call to meet her when she gets to the back nine for some hot sex. Adrienne is known for this; so having many men in her life isn’t a surprise. As soon as she gets near the back nine she pushes a button on her phone and instantly one of her men are there to greet her with a hard on that is dripping wet to please. Amazingly this is what makes her golf game out of this world. This style “pumping on sexy” on the back nine is one that Adrienne strikes genius on.

WAITING ON JESUS

As she gets to the back nine to take it home she prays and reads her bible. Religion is her life as like golf. Before she takes a shot or puts she drops to her knees to pray to Jesus to protect her and keep her golf game on point. You could say she is waiting on Jesus in more ways then one. Blair has traveled all over the world with this ritual. She engages in her golf ritual so much that she is known for it. She has gained quite a few thousand fans that love her and praise her. As it goes Blair is truly sanctified and waits on her man Jesus.

HORNEY WHISPERS

The ritual she embodies is one that links preppy and sexy together like no one has done before. Following her script is one you have to break down and know Kelly to understand. When she engages in it; she closes her eyes and speaks a classic, preppy and sexy concoction that only she knows. As this is done, her foreplay and wordplay enables her to have a sick and out of this world game that puts her on the map as the sophisticated dirty birdie.

POETIC GRINDING
Rhonda is the poet, artist, and golfer of the dirty birdie crew. She has a passion for the arts by way of poetry in all forms. She is a lover of golf in every way and loves to just have fun. Being the youngest dirty birdie she is a little silly on the back nine but enjoys so much that even if she loses she is ok with it. Her ritual includes creating poetry by way of a spoken word piece to get her golf game going. What she creates has a substantial affect on her golf game on the back nine. As she get’s ready to take her shot she is reciting her spoken word piece to herself and amazingly it works and she’s successful. As this unfolds so many of Rhonda’s artsy fans comes out to see her play and from that she draws more inspiration for her golf game on the back nine.

SUCKING OUT CORPUSCLES
Summer is one dirty birdie who is so different that is shows. With her it’s all about getting to the flesh of something to draw power to influence her golf game. Being a dirty birdie has afforded her many things, most of all cockiness to suck out any competing diva’s corpuscles. With her ritual she drives the point home that she is best at everything and will cut you down in an instant. The fire she spills on the back nine is apparent as it spews from her ears and her nose. The anger is prevalent as Summer engages in her ritual to influence the game she loves so much. As she puffs up and steam blows from her body she reaches in her crews bodies and sucks out their corpuscles and smiles. After that it’s about getting the shot and driving it home. Now that’s a ritual that’s amazing and hot like fire.

GHETTO AND TWO STEPPING
McKinley is one diva of the dirty birdie crew whose down right ghetto. Even though she is from the other side of the tracks she has a golf game so good that she’s the favorite on the back nine. Her attitude says it all as she gears up to take her shot and drive it across the course. She embodies a style that is pure hip hop in nature that speaks grimy, raunchy and down right ghetto fabulous. Even though this may be her image and her attitude her mind is totally focused on her golf game. Having competed all over the world and now with the dirty birdie crew, she has made it and that makes her very proud. Staking her claim in the golf world but staying true to what she knows is how she likes it. With that, McKinley’s ritual is two stepping, dropping it like it’s hot and walking it out on the back nine. Now that’s pure attitude and flava that surely stands out; especially on the back nine.

EPILOGUE
The dirty birdies are a one of kind crew of successful women who loves golf. They are a crew who makes golf their very own no matter what people say. With rituals and all sorts of fancy foot work, the dirty birdies have and always will be the number one group in the world of golf especially on the back nine.

*WRITERS CREED-POSSIBLITIES IN THE MAKING!*

(Diva's House Of Literary Coffee Blog) Look, Listen, and connect is what more and more writers should do when penning or brainstorming their next big story.  It's the tried and true methods that never disappear from a true writers heart.
Practice can make your writing journey better but striving for perfection will set you back with frustrations and disappointments.  In reality when a writer buys into pefection it can be detrimental and cause a state of confusion when the brainstorming for a story gets underway.  The greatest thing a writer can do to improve  on their writing ability is to stay true to who they are and recognize the connection with mind and soul.  Ultimately truth is the main course for any writer to take their writing to the next level. 

The methods and standards for writing depends on each individual writer. However following our writer's creed can keep any writer on track when there is a disconnect. Here are substantial methods that can be practiced by all writers to adopt so the writer in you stays focused and in control.

1. Throw away the word "PERFECTION" as it's a distraction and not reality to any writer.

2. Connect "MIND and SOUL" as it's the core/maincourse of any writers imagination.

4. Engage yourself in "READING" as it opens up your mind to the language of literature.

5. Keeping it "REAL" with yourself so you can produce and develop a truthful writer's message.

6. Exercise "WORD CONSTRUCTING" as this is a sure way to develop a stable writing foundation.  As you do this process you will start to build on your vocabulary and open up your mind to more creativity for writing a story.

7. Plan a "STRATEGY" as this will keep any writer on track with their next writing production.
8. Seeing is "VISUALIZING" as this will enable any writer to see what their strategic plan will be to keep their production in focus. Writing down the strategy is a sure way to visualize the begining to the end any writing production.

9. Seize the "MOMENT" when a story idea hits you, this will allow you to capitalize by writing it down, and visualizing the idea so it can be seen as a story in the making. This will also allow any writer to keep a snap shot of that very moment when the planning of that idea goes into play.

10. Keep your eye on the literary "DREAM" as this will enable any writer to keep pushing  forward with their story ideas and stay motivated to be inspired with true hope and determination to make it as a writer.

"Verve"-the spirit and enthusiam of performing, energy, vitality.

You can also provide a very descriptive scene as your characters are in the moment in your story to give the feeling of the kind of energy swirling around.

FINDING A REASON TO WRITE!

Writing helps us in so many ways. Unique expression is key in all forms of writing as we grow as individuals.

In life there are so many reasons to pick up a pen and express ourselves. When we do, it helps us to release what's on our mind at that very moment.  It helps us to express ourselves in the most vulnerable way when no one is looking. It helps us to explore our sensual and sensitive side to get our groove.

It also helps us to get tension and frustration out when something has gone wrong.

There are so many reasons to write and express what's in you as an individual, the writer, and the human.

Today, explore your life and find a reason to write about it. Take the time to express your true feelings and take it to the next level by putting your writing stamp on it.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Sexy Thought Provoking Lit: Salacious Egos!

Appealing and very emphatic I see them hiding but willing. Melodious rhythms are all around me as I reach out and grab on to their sweet delicious thoughts.

It’s music to my ears as their thoughts run through my mind and I taste the desire of many as they give off the sweet scent of orange spice.

As I take a breath I can feel them all over me. With my eyes closed I dive into my soul and it feels like my climax moment is starting over and over again as it’s pushed to a lyrical rhythm that encases me and takes my thoughts to heaven.

Feelings of excitement but loneliness pour over me as I try to capture this delicious moment in time. No boundaries of many, I try to reach heaven and stay as I savor the moment of their thoughts all over me.

I’m fascinated with them as the moment continues to engage me with hardcore thoughts but gentle touches that flow organically.

Time is evolving as I come to the end of a notorious evolution that has touched my body with many thoughts of being wanted, desired, and loved. I feel okay to have connected with their thoughts as we fell into a moment of bliss and rage.

Tried and true is believable as I move on and seek out more of them. Closing things up and smelling the great taste of organic wonder I slowly seep into a heavenly crack of obsession like a crack addict who is addicted and want more.

I want more-more of them to want me as I lay still and hold their thoughts close to mine to savor, taste, and smell for the last time their salacious egos.

*UPGRADING YOUR LITERACY STATUS-A Fabulous Endeavor*

(Diva's House Of Literary Coffee Blog) Literacy is the ability to read and write. It’s the core and the foundation of what we use on a daily basis. Having access to this wonderful foundation is promising and propels our futures to the next level.

It’s important to continue upping your literacy skills as much as you can. The possibilities that can occur just by doing this, will reap substantial rewards in your professional and private lives. Reading and writing can benefit all of us, and most of all our younger generation of kids. Pushing the envelope to make sure we are literate and especially our kids, is a must so our evolution can continue in a creative and fabulous way.

As we embark within our lives and continue our journeys it’s imperative to look at literacy as a whole, and somehow work it into our lives, where it’s eventually apart of our lives on a daily basis. Being able to pick up a book, a newspaper, and a magazine article is a start to many to stay on track in continuing their literacy upgrading. Getting in as much reading and writing as you can will keep you guided on the path to eventually making it a habit. Striving to do just that will enable you to constantly keep upgrading your literacy skills.

Reading helps us to think and expand our mind into other forms of creative endeavors that can take our private and professional lives to the next level.  As writing helps us to think clearer and master our thought process; both are assets that can benefit everyone in grand ways.

All in all being the star of your literacy status is profound and puts you at a level beyond most. Taking this up is up to you and only you. Staying in the know when it comes to your literacy abilities is mega important and can ultimately take you to higher heights beyond your wildest dreams.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Word Play: Thought Provoking Lit: 609!

Laughing as I walk away with my head down, it was the best time of my life. The purple and white mini with the white stiletto heels was what turned him on. The smell of fresh organic lilies that just sprung up on a warm spring day is what he smelled like.

As we talked and laughed and enjoyed our time together it was a moment that I broke down into a million as I swallowed the abilities of his nature to touch me in the right way.

Learning and digesting each word that flowed from him was like a baby learning to crawl for the first time. Amazing, delicious, and tragic as we held hands and let our thoughts crawl into one another’s mind like a cockroach crawls into one’s ear at night.

As he touched me softly and gave me hints I ate his words; and his ability to engage me came with no reservation. My breath was soft and willing as our time came to an end and it was time separate.

Getting up I shook like a drug addict waiting to get my next fix. I wanted more and I couldn’t help myself.

Walking out the door and carrying my white stilettos in my hand I place my finger in my mouth and taste for the last time his happy evolution. An evolution that left me laughing and walking slowly with my head as I had the best time in my life.

Show, don't tell!

Is an admonition to fiction writers to write in a manner that allows the reader to experience the story through a character's action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the narrator's exposition, summarization, and description.

Writing in this way is very important, as it allows your reader to develop images of where the story takes place, what the character looks like, and many other aspects of your story. Showing the reader is unique to every writer. As you tell your story, you show it to your reader in your own unique writing style.

That's a clear indication that your writing is different and that you can totally pull off the showing aspect of the story as you tell it.

Today show your reader in your storytelling and let them journey with you as they read your story.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Sexy Thought Provoking Lit: Anonymous!

As I lay thinking of how it all happened; the clock chimes slowly.
Magical and splendid reviews of charm and wit enthrall my psyche as I lay naked.
Climaxing a million times over fills my body with jitters, shakes and revelations of bliss.

Embracing the grimy but glorious thoughts has turned sadistically evil but yummy.
Love is captured as eruption takes over and paralyzes my body and pricks it at the speed of light.
Locking in the flavor is a must, as the juice runs through my body and up to my tongue for a taste of a life time.

Shadows tour the ins and outs of me and leave me breathless and dreaming of lilies.
Amazing, delicious, and damn right psychotic as the tightness holds, seduce, and comes knocking one more time.
Smiles of girlish hotness sway me to dive in for one more bite and ride it out until the sun sets.

Time as allotted me a great moment to devour and enjoy with free flows of bone crushing fantasy.
Sick thoughts of juiced up elegance was the flavor combination that took the bait.

As I lay thinking of how it all happened; the clock chimes slowly and stroke my salacious ego into the
confines of a million climatic whispers.

DOUBLE DUTY!

Taking care of business when your a writer is absolutey essential to your literary career.

That means, doing double duty as the writer and the editor is key. It's important to understand that checking your work as you go is what's going to save time in the end. It doesn't mean you shouldn't have an outside source edit your work. What it means is that, you as the writer should be aware of your work and aware of simple mistakes that you can correct.

If you truly want to dive into the writing business, you have to wear two hats; writer and editor. Doing this can save you time, and money down the road and keeps you aware of your own work, as you get it ready for publication. 

Today think about your writing. Think about what you do to make it better, and what you could be doing to make it fantastic.

Wearing two hats will say alot about you, and your writing as you progress in your literary career.

FEEL THE POWER IN YOUR WORDS!

When you set out to write your story for publication or for private, it should be something you take pride in doing.

What you express should be a power like no other. Saying what you want in your storytelling is a way of being powerful with words.

Our words tell who we really are and how we truly feel. When we are telling stories or getting something off of our chest; there's power and authority in what we say.

Think about it!

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Word Play: Whisper!

Soft, sensual and sexy is "whispher" our word of the evening!

When I think of this word, I evision someone whispering in an ear and saying warm and inviting things. We have all had someone whisper in our ear and have felt how soft the other person's softness just tickles us all over.















In writing it's different. You have to really difine how the character is actually doing the "whisper." It's something not easy to pull off, but can be done.

When you have dialogue in your writing between your characters the explanation of how they "whisper" is very important.  Making that "whisper" come alive is going to bring a dramatic effect and give the reader that satisfaction that you the writer pulled it off between the characters.  It definitely makes for an intimate moment in your storytelling.

Tonight envision how to create and play up a "whisper" in your storytelling. Who knows it may take you back to when you had your first intimate "whisper."

ROCKING OUT YOUR LIT!

So much goes into writing each and everytime you decide to pick up your pen.  It can be a long boring process or a fun creative process depending on how your creative spirit comes out.

Rocking out your lit is a technique that we have develped to help writers have fun when writing. It's a technique that can make the process of your writing go smoothly and help your creativity explode into a story tree!













All you need is your pen, paper (no computer), your favorite tunes and nice area to work. Before you start to write, listen to your favorite song and listen to the words in the song. Now write six words down on your paper as well as still listening to your favorite song.  After the song goes off, take a look at all the words you have written down on your paper. Take those words and think about other words that are related or that may rhyme with that word.  Now build your story tree from those six main words.  After you have done that, then look at it and create a short story from one of those six story trees or all six.















Read the story back and think about how you can take parts of those six short stories and mesh them into your main novel or develop a totally new novel from the "story tree techniqe."

Today use this technique to overcome your so-called writer's block, boredom or just use it as you take a break from writing that great novel.

GETTING RAW WITH EMOTION!

Writing helps us in so many ways to express what we are feeling. When we write, we are letting out all sorts of emotions and feelings that we keep bottled up. Expressing these emotions in the raw are what gives us that feeling of "what a relief."












It's the same in our storytelling. When we are creating stories we are expressing through the characters the raw emotion of what we are feeling.  As you do this, your characters will have a real effect to them in your story.  Characters make the story, so giving them that raw emotion is important and also important to your readers as your readers do connect with your characters.

















This is the reason why writers have to keep on writing daily to improve their writing skill and how they tell a story. Often times expressing raw emotion can give you the writer that extra added boost to keep your storytelling interesting, juicy, and to your readers that; down right "I don't want to put this book down!" 

Today create a journal and write daily to improve upon how you express your raw emotion in your story telling.

BRING THE LITERARY DRAMA!

Drama o-literary-rama! That's what comes to mind when I think of a great sexy thriller.

Bringing the drama to a story has to begin with the kinds of words you use as well as how well your characters are built. If your story is steamy, sexy and thrilling, then your words have to be sexual, dramatic and meaningful in order to bring the story to life. 

Drama can be anything, or within any character. If it's a sexy bold scene in the story, then having the dramatics amped up to the tenth power is necessary.  Having drama be the heart of the story isn't by any means a bad thing.

How well and how hard you bring the literary drama is solely up to you the writer. One thing about it, don't be afraid to take risk in using words that ooze sex or drama. Don't be afraid to take your writing to the next level as well as your thoughts.

Remember, when bringing the literary drama in your writing, make sure you develop the drama so it can come full force.
