    Summary

    A moment in time.. Edith and Bryce are having one of their moments of fleeting intimacy that neither could really explain. It feels like its all just talk... but it's so much more as Edith's hand reached the older man's chromed throat.

    Summary

    A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.

    Summary

    If you already write smut, this guide is not for you.

    And why yes, I do teach sex ed sometimes.  You’re going to wonder.

    So, you want to write smut.  But you don’t feel smutty.  Maybe you’ve never personally felt smutty.  Maybe the smut words won’t happen.  Maybe it’s performance anxiety.  Maybe it’s meds.  Maybe it’s stress.  Maybe it’s WORDS about SEX on the INTERNET, and you CANNOT.

    But your story needs smut, and that’s valid.  Maybe your plot hinges on it.  Maybe you just want to reward your characters with some nice, juicy orgasms.  Maybe you want the explicit rating because you know people like explicit content, and you want to learn a new skill as a writer.  All valid.  

    So, we like to outline our stories.  Can we outline the sex scenes?  Yeah, kinda!
