Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

"I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than 'whispered' and this is the hill I will die on."

[caffeinewitchcraft]

Said softly: filled with emotion, potential vulnerability, can carry the energy of an aside

Whispered: a toddler with a heist plan

[anxiousposting]

Said softly: please don’t go, I’ll miss you

Whispered: aight, just cause they caught us doesn’t mean that our plan won’t work… it’ll just need a bit more fire power now.

it's actually so funny how challenging it is to write bona fide graphic, horny smut. like people don't give smut writers enough credit. you are constantly running out of words to describe the same 2-4 body parts and same 4-6 motions. you are constantly attempting to do interesting and dynamic things in the prose with this extremely limited set of words. you are looking at your prose for the nastier bits and wondering if it actually sounds hot or if it just sounds goofy. you are then toning down your prose and then wondering if it now sounds tasteful or if it's just boring. you do ctrl+F for the word "cock" and there are 37 instances of it in the doc but you hate the 1-2 acceptable synonyms so there's nothing much you can do about it

[not-poignant]

Genuinely, smut is the hardest thing to write out of anything I write, always, without question.

[bakecookieswritesmut]

This is why I am unironically proud of writing damn good smut. You need SO many tools in your toolkit, and to use them well together, to keep people immersed in a scene.

It has a lot in common with writing compelling action/combat, and there’s a lot to be learned from hypnosis and other research around obtaining and maintaining a flow state.

Even very indulgent smut will feel flat without the emotional through-line, so you’ve got to nail tone and emotion too. (This doesn’t only mean lovey-dovey. Aloof and horny is an emotional state too.)

If I didn’t care about sharpening my craft, I’d have picked an easier genre than smut. 🤣

where are the big beefy minotaur men with huge aching cocks for me to stroke with both hands before they grunt n pick me up and make me take it down to their medial ring in one thrust 🥺🥺🥺

Minotaur’s Masterpiece: An Evening of Sultry Strokes

MINOTAUR’S MASTERPIECE: AN EVENING OF SULTRY STROKES is a human (F) x minotaur (M) romance novelette (10k words) featuring ethical open rela

Technically they have a "let's get creative" moment instead of a "ram it in to the medial ring" moment because I wanted the visual of almost overflowing the milking machine but... I hope you'll forgive me.

Delighted to announce this bird is real and is a corvid.

Truly the family that just keeps giving.

[haropla]

I haven’t seen it in the notes yet, so afaik, here’s the source of that video! So now you can see the funny poison bird much more clearly.

It was taken by a biologist that studies birds so it seems like he knows what he’s doing. For the most part. Here’s his caption:

[krystal-prisms]

You all know that he 100% licked his fingers after handling that bird

Strange Love: A Non-Human Romance Charity Anthology 

My latest novella in the Modern Monsters series, Pet Project: Collared By the Vampire is currently exclusively available in the Strange Love charity anthology!

It's available on Kindle/KU and on paperback (My story is in Vol 1!). The anthology benefits Trinity Haven, an organization that helps to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ youth at risk for homelessness.

Here's the blurb:

Symphony has been trudging through temp work since she got laid off from her dream job. A ‘kitten fetish actress’ role introduces her to Adriana and Bura, a gorgeous and charming couple with attention to spare. Adriana is a vampire and professional pet play domme, and shiba shifter Bura is already wrapped around her finger. Adriana and Bura tempt Symphony with an unforgettable experience—one that just might take her mind off her troubles. Mistress has a puppy—now she wants a kitten.

If you're looking for a buffet of monstery goodness that goes to a great cause, this anthology is hard to beat!

[octoswan]

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
