Morning Thought: The Power of Lists

To work efficiently, you have to know what you’re doing. This is especially true if you’re doing something as time consuming as writing – even if that writing’s erotic – not all sex scenes are over in two minutes, after all. So here’s a piece of advice I was given a long time ago that’s transformed my life.

Morning Thought: Getting to Know Commissioned Characters

One of the things I love the most about writing for commission is the fact that I get to meet and know so many new characters. Exploring what makes them unique and why they are the way they are is one of the greatest pleasures for me when it comes to writing. So, why not set yourself a challenge? Go out there and ask someone to give you a set of characters, then explore and find out what makes them tick!

Morning Thought: Embrace Your Insecurities

We all have insecurities, but in order to grow as an individual and creator, you have to challenge them. Embrace what you fear and push your boundaries – after all, no one’s going to push them for you – and see how much you grow.

Morning Thought: Writing New Kinks

New or unfamiliar kinks can be scary at first, but remind yourself, you can always ask questions, and everything was new once. Take the chance to learn and you’ll be surprised what new avenues open to you.

Morning Thought: Giving your Characters, Character

Melodrama’s fine, and it does have a place, but when it comes to erotica, the more real your characters seem, the more relatable they’ll be. You want that relatability in your story and this is how I avoid ‘going purple’ in my work.

Morning Thought: Why I write Erotica

Erotica is far more than just sex – although, that is a fun component of it – and it can give you more than just a happy ending. Here’s why I write it, how about you?

Morning Thought: Character Inspiration in Erotica

How do you find inspiration for your characters? Here’s how I find mine and it’s worked every time. Whether the story I’m writing is erotic or not, this method has never failed.

Morning Thought: Porn doesn’t need a Plot, does it?

The category of ‘PWP or Porn Without a Plot is very much a thing, but is it accurate? Can we really create a story that doesn’t have a plot?

Morning Thought: Health, Wealth and Happiness

Finding balance is the key, but where it lies is unique to each person. I can’t tell you how to balance it for yourself, but what I can tell you is that if you keep moving forward, you will reach your goal.
