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.

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.
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: Embrace Unknown Kinks
Kinks and sex are like chocolate and cream… They just work together. But to improve your writing, forcing yourself into unknown territory and new kinks is the key!
Morning Thought: Don’t know where to start with your erotica? I’ve got you!
Erotica isn’t an easy genre to write for, but it is extremely satisfying. I know how daunting starts can be and I also know that sex scenes are very intimidating. But the way to get over your fear, is to face it. Find your characters voice by throwing them into a scenario and discovering what they do next!
