STRANGE INSPIRATION
“He stroked his hand along her heavy bosom feeling the rise
of her chest.”
“Ugh!” he snorted.
Jake had been trying to write the same passage for his book
for hours but kept getting stumped. It
just didn’t sound right when he read it out loud.
He didn’t want his female character to appear overweight but
he also didn’t want her paper thin as in most erotic genre stories. He felt that he could reach an entirely new group
of readers if he changed from his normal format.
He had tried many adjectives but lavish, substantial, broad,
and vast just didn’t give his writing the tone he wanted.
“He stroked his hand along her copious bosom feeling the
rise of her chest.”
“No! Does anyone even know what copious means?” he
growled.
He rose from the desk thinking
that perhaps a break is what he needs.
He decided to make a pot of coffee and reached for some
sample packs of a new brand he wanted to try.
He stood at the counter with the small package in hand and stared at the
label.
“Free Sample,” he read. “Sample,” he repeated
He raced back to his laptop and quickly wrote, “He stroked
his hand along her ample bosom feeling the rise of her chest.”
“Yes!” he exclaimed.
He read it aloud.
“Isn’t it amazing how inspiration comes from the strangest
places?” he chuckled to himself.

Fun idea, a story about a writer figuring out a story! We never struggle with placing the right words, now do we? :)
I like the idea of writing about a writer. Nice job.
How great! I love it when inspiration come unexpectedly!
I love how your story examines the differt possible words. You took on the prompt head on. BTW, I agree that ample doesn't mean overweight.
Ample means...well, full and things like that...not overweight at all. Ample is appealing, IMO. I loved how the character did word association to come up with his choice. Sometimes just fixing that coffee and mulling it over is better than the thesaurus!
I love hearing those kinds of stories about random happenstance causing inspiration. Thanks for linking up!
Neat piece! I like seeing his search for the precise, perfect words.
