Although I will say, it's cracking me up that you refer to it as an "intimate scene." I say that with love, though. And ... as someone who is pretty blase about writing what I fondly call straight-up smut.
Amy is me. *g*
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

It really wasn't all that smutty. The other one in the book needs to be rewritten and will probably get smuttier.

I've also now added a new layer to backing up my work. Every time I work on it I follow by backing it up to my network drive which is a redundant array. Now I'm taking to e-mailing my gmail account with everything attached. Word processor files are so wonderfully small.

Because books.
Emailed attachments are smart. You can also create Googledocs, too.

I suspect I'd be terrible at writing smut. I blush too easily.

Because books.
When we started the erotic romance line at the publisher where I used to work, we all gaped at the first round of submissions. But then we sort of got used to it. And read the really funny, purple bits out loud to each other.
