Starting a new writing project!

 So, I've made it out of my burnt out slump and have gotten back to writing a new story. Whoo!

I'm going to keep it free and fun and just pants my way through this one. I find that with shorter stories, I have no problem not plotting. But if I know that my story is going to be 20k words or more, I definitely need to plot, even if it's just a mild skeleton of an outline. For this story, however, I am planning on it only being somewhere between 12k and 17k words. Hopefully, a lot closer to 12k, but I can be pretty long winded at times lol (that's what editing is for!).

Anyway, this story is the fourth erotica story that I mentioned in my last post and it is titled The Art of Patience. It is a standalone, however, it ties into the world of the first story I wrote called The Art of Temptation. This story follows a briefly mentioned side character named Jasmine and her journey posing for an erotic photographer. 

I'll be working on this project for the month of January, including edits and trying to design the cover. From there, I plan on getting everything in order for my tentative publication dates. I'm still a complete and utter noob when it comes to self-publishing, so if you are reading this, wish me luck. Having 2025 be the year that I finally take the leap and put my work out there is nerve wracking yet exciting, and I've been gathering all the information I possibly can about how to have a successful launch as an indie author. But after a few years of this, there's really only so much more information I can take in before I have to finally just do it. So...I'm doing it!

More updates to come soon ~

Finally hitting publish

Hello everyone and happy new year if you are reading this. I just wanted to stop by and say that I have finally taken the leap and published my first story on Amazon! It's been an interesting final month of 2025 and quite frankly, I am glad 2025 is over. I stayed home and brought in the new year by publishing my book lol. This first book is my shortest and called Rainy Day in . It's a sweet but steamy read about two best friends who finally admit to themselves that they like each other and take the next step in their relationship. This story is probably my least spicy story that I've written but I still like it. It's short and sweet and for the spice rating, on a scale of 1 to 5, this story would probably be a 3. However, the spice/steam rating scales confuse me as there are many out there and none quite align enough to make the ratings consistent. I just know that while there is an explicit scene in my story, many people would probably find it very vanilla, and I'm...

April wrap-up and a new book release!

 I meant to have this blog post up already, but we are now already a week into May and my newest book release has already gone live 😓  Writing & Publishing updates Yes, you read that right. My sixth story, Goddess Playhouse , has gone live on Kindle Unlimited and for some reason I feel really antsy about it. I don't even know why. I finished writing this story last year, as most of my stories were already written and I have been publishing my backlog. But for whatever reason, publishing this one has me fidgety and feeling nervous flutters in my stomach. This was another story that was completely out of my comfort zone, however, I felt so free when writing it. This was cathartic for me and I know I've said that before about my stories, but I don't know what other word to use to describe how I feel and felt during the drafting process. I guess I'm also nervous because I want people to like this one too. Well, I want people to like all my stories lol. This one just ha...

February recap and things

Hello there. I know it's mid March and I am just now getting around to giving a writing and self-pub update for February, but things got weird for me in February. Writing stuff No writing updates really. I have been feeling creatively blocked and I know it's because of how I have been feeling with everything going on lately. I have also been struggling at my full-time job. Without going into any details, any time I feel like this, my creativity completely disappears. So once again, I have gone another month without writing any new stories or ideas. Newbie publishing stuff I am projected to make around $5 for the month of February which is an increase from January so yay! I am still debating with myself on if I am going to get an instagram again. I feel like the older I get and the more my country goes to shambles with lack of privacy protections and all that, I become more and more averse to the various social media platforms. YouTube, Reddit, and this blog are my only social m...
