How To Write Naked

[Paul de Denus]

Writing in the nude can be distracting. Most would think about wrapping themselves up. Then again, that would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it? It's important to strip ourselves of the excesses, unveil our vulnerabilities, let it all go free and show the world what we got. And what’s upfront really counts too. To grab attention, I’d suggest a provocative title for your story.

[Toby Tucker Hecht]

@Sandra--I'm gagging. 

[Cita]

Wooop Woop! Here's to vulnerability, showing up naked to the page.

[Jamie Hogan]

Like Bill, I appreciate that you hung in there with the metaphor. The piece wouldn't have been right if you hadn't. I do a lot of writing on lunch and breaks. Something tells me nakedness for the sake of my writing would not be appreciated. Then again, when I hit the Powerball, it sounds like a really cool way to get canned.

[Bill Floyd]

You stuck with the metaphor all the way through, and it served you well.  This should be front page stuff (pixilated, of course).

[Stephen Torelli]

Yes, painfully aware and unprotected is probably the best method yet difficult to achieve. 

[Sandra Davies]

Hmm ... the stains on my chair attest to the downside of that ... but the title certainly worked Paul.

[apologies, probably too much information here]

[Teresa]

Amen.  I read once that a writer has to give something up when he writes, make himself vulnerable.  So true.  Great six.

[Angela]

Well, your provocative little title got me to click and read.  Fun six.

[Gita]

I tried that sexy title thing but my story is still sliding off the front page as we speak.

Writing naked is unpleasant ------> chair fabric is scratchy.

 

[Bill Lapham]

Nice. The title can/should (?) give you a seventh sentence (almost).
