What app are you using to format your books? Choosing Atticus was Easy With so many apps going Subscription or Nothing these days, anyone offering a one-time payment for lifetime access gets a green flag from me. So, yes. The amount of 147 USD is pricey if you’re low on funds. However, it’s one time,…
Cards of Passion Series Sometime last year, my partner in smut, sister of my heart, and incredible friend came up with yet another huge idea. Now, she had already created a journal for women, a physical and digital reflection deck for women, and was working on a non-fiction sexuality guide for writers of all genres….
Savannah Tapping endlessly on the screen wasn’t working. An error pops up. “No internet… ?” Raising my voice, I stretch just enough to get a glimpse of my host. “Leo, your internet is down.” I tap the screen a few more times, regardless. Glutton for punishment? Sometimes. “No, I turned it off.” A glass of…
Our Smutty Thought of the Day this time is about Fuck Buddies! Or, as I saw elsewhere (possibly typo’d), fuckbodies. Some of the best sex of my life happened with fuck buddies. Showing up, stripping down, and getting busy is a favorite pastime of mine. The great thing about having someone to booty call when…
Spinning Stories are like Spinning Spider Webs. Or so I’m saying. I don’t know, I just say the things that pop into my head, okay? Then something connects and I get a beautifully woven web, but usually for others it seems. I cannot seem to get my ass writing erotica. For example, Jayne is working…
Today’s Smutty Thought is all about that Taint! For some of the best definitions on what a Taint is and where it is, check out Urban Dictionary. I’ve never laughed so hard. Okay, not true. I’ve laughed harder, but some of these are the best. It never ends. I love my day job people. They…
Finally, I’ve realized the issues to my writing problems. While I have been writing, I haven’t been writing smutty stories. And now I know why. I have been writing, but I haven’t been finishing most things. My problem writing has been sitting right in front of my face this whole time. I hate it when…
Goodbye 2019, Farewell. I bid you adieu! さようなら! I am booting 2019 out of the door as quickly as possible. #SorryNotSorry! I look forward to 2020, but hey, let’s give 2019 a proper farewell party okay? Top Stories from 2019 Smuttylicious Island meets the Sisters in Smut That’s not all that happened in 2019. I…
I, the SmutMerchant™, bring you Smutty Thought of the Day. Shaunta Grimes’ started a serial called “Should You Start Writing on Medium in 2020?” and in the first post she included a quote by Seth Godin. He says [in plain, short terms] that everyone should have a blog and everyone should blog every day. I…
Yes, I meant to write Life Lemons. Life throws lemons, you gotta catch them and make something out of them, right? That’s what we try to do. That’s what I’ve been trying to do. If you’ve been around, you know I’ve been struggling to write for over a year. I’ve written here and there. I…
Story behind the Story Wednesday, Jayne, and I were having a rowdy conversation when someone (maybe Weds) lamented about no one ever writing about women being on their periods or cramps. And then somehow lip gloss came up and how hair sticks it to it so it’s just not worth the trouble, regardless of how…
So, I’m not the only person in the world suffering from… well, whatever the fuck it is I’m suffering from. Some of my sisters are feeling the weird lows, the ones that keep them from putting words to screen. Let’s chat about when you just can’t finish writing. On one hand, I’m glad I’m not…
Hello there and welcome back. First, let me attempt to apologize for neglecting this space. I’ve been dealing with a crazy emotional fallout period. I feel like the smothering wet blanket has finally lifted. Sorry, it happens to me a lot and I usually push through. This time, I couldn’t. Second, a lot has been…
Pushing through pain isn’t always the best option but sometimes there isn’t a choice. Straight talk – I do not understand how people suffering from chronic pain get through everyday life. Let me tell you… I feel pain but only when I overdo it and strain myself. I know chronic illness sufferers have to deal…
Yes, I said it again. And I’ll keep saying it. MUSE JUICE. I don’t know where the fuck it came from, but apparently my brain has latched on like a leech in a precarious area you can’t quite reach. If someone tells you they’re having a difficult time writing, believe them. Something happened and things…
Oh no, Mischa, what the hell are you thinking now? It IS a New Year! That means there should be a new YOU, right? Nope. Every time we enter a new year, all the same gimmicks come out in droves. Head to the gym! Lose that holiday weight! Make a resolution to do all the…
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…
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….
