Hey Folks! Are you feeling a little burned out from 2020? If you are, you aren’t alone. I’m right there with you. I can’t speak for you, but I know for me, I’m learning that it’s important to take breaks from sex-related content. While I enjoy being in this industry, I need some time to veg out in front of the TV and find ways to recharge my internal batteries, especially during this pandemic. I used to feel guilty about feeling this way because many of my peers consume this content 24/7 and don’t seem to need a break. I’ve...

So when it comes down to work productivity, it’s not uncommon that many of us feel like we just can’t do anything. I’ve been feeling like this since March. So much to think about and I want to write enough to fill a novel, but can’t. Or rather, not as quickly as I want to, and coming from a self-confessed perfectionist,...

Nothing much going on in this episode other than a small podcast schedule change for the rest of 2020. Hopefully by the December episode, we’ll be able to tell you what the podcast will look like in 2021, but we’re still figuring that out.

Here are some suggestions based on my real-life experience of going from Victoria Blisse erotica author to the queen of smut.

This month’s interview was very special to me.
