Looking back at all the times I let procrastination win in 2018 means one thing in 2019… It has GOT TO GO. I procrastinated so much in 2018 that the entire year almost feels a complete waste. Whether this means using a pomodoro timer or the annoying one on the microwave I use while cooking,…
Looking back over 2018 and heading into 2019 with some major interesting prospects (some I can’t share just yet, but hey, you know you enjoy being teased.) If you want to start with stats – and who doesn’t love stats? – my stats this year compared to 2017 sucked ass. How so? Looking back, this…
Who me? I’ve been hella busy and hella lazy. Here are all the things that you think you’ve been missing out on. If you haven’t heard, the Sisters in Smut and a handful of other lovely authors are putting together a sensually decadent anthology sequel called Chemical [se]X 2: Just One More. 14 authors, 1…
This post is for me, an introvert, and issues I have regarding boundaries with people both in real life and on social media. I highly recommend blocking or muting anyone that makes you feel uncomfortable. I’ll tell you, if someone walks into a bar and I’m sitting there having lunch or dinner and a drink,…
Wicked Wednesday tempted me with the prompt scent. Tonight, I dealt with a short power outage in the neighborhood. The lights flicked back on about 5 minutes after I lit a bunch of candles. Now the house smells like paraffin and smoke. “Hey, the power is out. Just wanted to give you notice before you…
Writers take from the reality around them and turn it into words. Sometimes the words are real truthy things and other times they are fantastically fictional. Either way, sometimes it can be hard to get those words flowing. That’s when you can find something to inspire you. A word, an image, a phrase, a quote….
[Originally Posted on Sisters in Smut] Imagine you’re an erotic romance or erotica author. You’ve written stories that contain steamy smut and debauchery across the board. You’re sitting at a table with a stack of books waiting for you to sign for the fans lined up at the door of the bookstore. Or maybe you’re…
There are so many ways I can answer the question “Why I Write” so I thought I’d share a few. Because if I didn’t my mind would explode. I saw on Twitter the hashtag “Why I Write” trending, so here you go. There were a few years that the only thing I wrote were a…
Truth and Shame. Some people believe they are speaking the truth, while others are made to feel shame. The keyword in that quote to me is ‘consent’. This isn’t another post on consent, but it is a post on how one person’s truth can make another person feel shame. Here I plan to share things…
Please welcome the amazing Wednesday Noir with some excellent advice regarding negativity on social media. It’s no secret if you follow me on Twitter that I’m an agoraphobe. I’m also extremely introverted. The only socializing I do is on Twitter. Is it healthy by most people’s standards? No. But I’m a happy hermit, and that…
[Originally posted on Sisters in Smut] Hell yeah – we need more clear consent when it comes to erotic stories, videos, and yes, even in everyday life. Are we ready for some Smutty Research? Today I’m here to tell you something most people don’t even realize. But first, let’s start with something everyone already knows….
You can thank GeekNGrind for his amazing photo that broke my hiatus for freebies this week. I hope you enjoy a little Secret Female Domination in your life. The phone thumps onto the mattress as I shove a pillow over my face to catch whatever moans I can’t contain. I think it’s over, but as…
Those of us that write, live, or both regarding the BDSM Lifestyle tend to focus on one major item above all others (or I hope they do…). A specific word that conveys many feelings and comes with the heaviest of weight. Consent. Without consent, it’s abuse. But what about outside the kinky bedroom activities? This…
What’s in a character name anyway? To some people, everything. To others, it’s just something to call the character and there’s no meaning whatsoever. One of the most controversial things I’ve ever researched happens to be about naming your characters. The name has to mean something! If your character is an evil villain you’ve got…
[Originally posted on Sisters in Smut] I went to my #SistersInSmut and said I felt the need to write a post but no ideas are forming. I didn’t mention that I’d started several posts only to hate them. But that’ll be between you and me. Let’s have some truth first. I love Love LOVE writing smutty goodness… however I…
Awhile back I tweeted out that I was going to #5SecondRule myself a novella and started writing a super hot story about a sexy lady and her man. Since then, I’ve written 6,765 words in the same story. It has been a few weeks since I started and I honestly thought I would be further along than I…
Welcome to another naughty Friday Flash! Super short, a little weird, and really smutty. Staring at the photo on my phone doesn’t do any justice to the artwork. I want to rip the wall out it’s been painted upon and mount it above my bed. The way the colors gently coax me from one to the…
I’ve decided to no longer identify myself as “single” when it comes to my relationship status. Read on to find out more! Again, I’ve been subjected to the indignity of being single twice in two weeks. Usually I have a few months between these ridiculous accusations that because I’m not partnered up, I must be unhappy with my existence. How…
I’ve been attempting to sit down and do all the things for over a week now and I’m still getting things done, just not the things I need want to do. And the list has grown. Things on my list: I will tell you this though. Lately, my laundry has been done. There are still…
Leaving the house yesterday to go shopping and more was a huge boost I needed. Today I’m struggling, but decided not going to the park on such a gorgeous day would be stupid. So here I am, at the park. Last Wednesday I decided to do some digital cleaning and backing up. I backed up…
