Separating your professional writing life from your personal life is a good idea, even if you don’t write super spicy stories full of sexcapades. Obviously, this doesn’t apply to all writers, so don’t whine at me. yes, my feisty pants are on today. Writing Life vs Personal Life If you’re using a pen name (or…
The InkersCon Mission Statement says it all! “To spark the open exchange of information and inspiration through author networking and events.” Dr. J. introduced me to InkersCon. I knew I had to check it out. This is the second year I’ve been involved and it’s absolutely fantastic. The things I’ve learned not only help me…
If you haven’t yet watched How to Build a Sex Room on Netflix yet… don’t fret, there are no real spoilers. Overall, I enjoyed watching How to Build a Sex Room. It felt so good seeing happy couples, a lovely polycule, and an amazing single person discussing their sex lives, desires and fears. I hope…
Trusting People on the Internet is Hard I’m Exhausted. I’m Also Angry. I also don’t have much energy to give, let alone trust these days. #TrustNoOne Every time I go to click the Twitter shortcut link or app, I wonder what fucked up crazy is going to happen. I’ve been on the internet since…
Today’s Smutty Thought of the Day is all about the elegance of a pearl necklace. My coworkers aren’t giving me as much Smutty Thought fodder as they were before I came up with this idea. I think it’s time to crack the whip.However, when this one came up, it was never-ending laughter. Why? Because someone…
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…
Our smutty thought of the day has multiple descriptions, but I feel a very important definition is missing. Let’s talk about Double-Fisting! Wow. Have you googled ‘Double-Fisting’? If not, let me give you a tour. I’m here for you, folx I will google the hard things. The first one that comes up is the non-smutty…
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…
Let’s talk about Shaming Someone I adore recently sent a SnapChat photo of the cover of Best Women’s Erotica of the Year Volume 3 to her story. I lent her my copy when she expressed interest after reading Chemical [se]X 2: Just One More and her relative swiped Big Book of Submission Volume 2 I’d…
Welcome, I’m Mischa and I’ll be your program director today. Yeah, you’re stuck with me since I own the domain name and all. I know, I know… poor joke (boo hiss). Anyway, I wanted to talk about putting out an anthology and I thought well, I have a blog. Let’s do this. My erotic dirty-minded…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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’m rolling my eyes here, I hope you do, too. Every morning at six a.m. sharp my alarm goes off. More often than not, I hit the button on my phone to snooze it and snuggle back into the warmth of my comforter. Today I did just that. Then I listen as the notifications, denied…
