Whooooo self-deprecation

[shamanicshaymin]

Lately I've been doing two things: A. Sleeping. B. Thinking too hard about things. The Writer's Block is going as strong as ever and it's really disheartening. Really Puri. Just pick one scene you've always wanted to write that's important to the novel. Even if it's Raggedy Andy and Marius bonking each other senseless. Then I think, "Oh, you're just writing sex" and feel terrible. I'm constantly beating myself up and feeling like nobody is developed enough or my plot points aren't mature enough (despite the fact you never know for sure if it's all kept in your head instead of oh, physically writing it down but augh. The torment continues) and I just continue to feel guilty for not being as organized as a supercomputer.

So... I guess this is an "Ask Me About My Novel" post. Just so I can know what questions people are actually curious about and not feel like I'm babbling about some kind of pointless imaginary world that seems to affect only me and no one else.

And I'm worried about my relationship with my boyfriend. Baaaaws.

Ask me a question about writing. It can be absolutely anything (writing process, favorite things to write, characters I've created, etc.) and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Whatever you ask, I will try my best to answer. You may ask as many questions as you want.

...I'm still not quite sure how a doll can be "gay" when it's an anthropomorphized object, but I can see how they can take on gender roles in a Toy Story-esque way.

...but he has no genitals so I can't even IMAGINE how smut works there.

I haven't quite figured out how sexuality is perceived in toy world, but I do know that in my novel, there are some toys/dolls that perceive themselves as "boy" or "girl", so that's where the notion comes from.

And that's the thing I stress. He doesn't have genitalia, so he, as an anthropomorphized object, experiences pleasure and pain in a different way than humans. Sort of delved into in a really old snippet. tl;dr, it depends on the toy and what kind of mechanisms they have.
