Adventures in Writing: Wasted Weekend

Yep, you read the title correctly, I wasted the weekend. So, if I wasn’t writing this weekend, what did I do? Well, I did get some things done. I can see most of the kitchen again. I actually hung my clothes up after they finished in the dryer, while I...

Adventures in Writing: Word Wall

In case you were unsure, I’m a writer. And, in case you are not a writer (or have never been around a writer), writing is hard. It’s recently come to my attention that I have a lot of content. Well, when I’m writing Sizzling Nibbles, Masturbation Monday, have Sharing is Caring,...

Adventures in Writing: Pornography vs. Erotica

Pornography vs. Erotica – an erotica author’s thoughts More often than not, people will tell you that all erotica is pornography. That there isn’t a definitive difference between the two. It’s black and white. Not true, though. It’s more than black and white; and it’s more than shades of gray....

A Penny for your Thoughts: Socially Disconnected

My Personal Social Life Is… Dead? I’m a terrible friend. I’m also terrible at personal social media. I have no need to really shout from the digital rooftops what’s going on in my life. If someone messages me, I chat with them. My personal facebook is setup so that only...

Adventures in Writing: Music

Do you listen to music when you write? Sometimes I do, sometimes I just have the tv on in the background. When I’m writing on my lunch break, I don’t listen to anything in hopes that people won’t even know I’m there and I can whip out 800ish words before...

A Penny for your Thoughts: Oh, the Feels!

I read Four Simple Life Rules by Mary McCarthy over at SpliceToday.Com and the first thing I thought of was how I do things in my life. I do things that make me happy and if something doesn’t make me happy, I think about how to do it in a...

Adventures in Writing: Cheesy Christmas Movies

Cheesy Movies Abound when Christmas comes around! And more often than not, I end up watching them. They are so cheesy that you can’t not watch them. Sometimes, I laugh, sometimes I want to cry, and other times I just shake my head. There are Bingo cards for Christmas movies....

A Penny For Your Thoughts: Cliches and Tropes

You’ve heard ‘that’s been done (or said) a million times already’. However, the reason that tropes and clichés work is because they’re clichés and tropes.  You just have to find your own unique way of twisting them. Think about it… every sitcom has zingers and one-liners. Look at 2 Broke...

Technical Blather: Glitched Flipping

Do you have Kindle Unlimited? Do you use the Page Flip feature? There’s a glitch with the PageFlip feature that a lot of authors are seeing the repercussions of and, since it’s being observed as ‘the app is performing as expected’ it’s not considered a glitch. The PageFlip feature was...

My muse is wide awake again…

When you start bundling stories, sometimes a wonderful thing happens. Another story taps you on the shoulder and says, “oh hey there!” This is what happened to me with the Fix-It Fast Series. Story 10 popped out and Brooklyn said, “hey, tell my story.” At first I was like… ”you’re...

Fending off the … Fans?

Writing Erotica Let me tell you, one of the best ways to learn how to write is to write smut. It’s intricate, it’s messy, it’s downright naughty. It’s also a great way to learn what makes a character tick. What will they do to get that thing they want so...

Worst thing to happen to a writer…

I am sure you’re thinking of writer’s block, but no, that’s actually not the worst thing to happen to a writer. Writer’s block can be chipped away at by writing down the things randomly going through your mind, going to the gym or for a run/walk, and figuring out where...

When your Muse ignores you…

Ever feel like your Muse has gone fishin’ without telling you? You sit down to write but the characters aren’t cooperating, the words aren’t flowing, and (as if that weren’t enough) something else is nagging at the back of your mind. There are several reasons why you could feel like...

What Dreams May Teach Us

Dreams are a gateway to another universe deep inside yourself. They allow you to answer questions that have been nagging you for weeks, be with people who don’t even notice you, or tell off your superiors from work when you’ve had enough. Dreams can enliven us or frighten us by...
