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…
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…
Life on the island is never boring. How do I know? Well, this is my third visit and I’ve never had a dull moment here. Oh, and there’s that Hurricane. I know I haven’t been here for quite a while, but to be completely honest with you, my lovelies, I’ve been malfunctioning in the writing…
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…
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…
Oh, wow! It’s live and ready to get you feeling all hot and gooey! That’s right! Chemical [se]X 2: Just One More is on Amazon. What a labor of love! This anthology would not be here today if not for some truly amazing people. In the beginning it was just an idea, a hope, a…
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…
Hey everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood smut merchant stopping in to say HELLO! I’m still alive, I’m well, and I’m super busy. Marketing: Working on an article about Marketing with Hootsuite while Marketing with Hootsuite. (I don’t feel that I have a lot to market, but perhaps the article will help others who have way…
[Originally posted on Sisters in Smut} Let’s Talk About Writing Realistic Kinky Sex Hi, I’m Mischa Eliot and I write kinky stories about fictional characters who enjoy being bound in rope or cuffs, spanked, flogged, teased until they beg to come, and more. I’m here to help you create realistic characters for kinky fuckery with…
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…
Featured From Elsewhere: Nicci Haydon’s List of 14 Places to get FREE Lesbian Erotica Nicci, much loved by me, (she’s been with me since I embarked upon this erotica writing adventure) shares her knowledge when it comes to finding Lesbian Erotica.

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…
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…
