This week’s episode is a long time in coming, as are the changes you may be noticing around the website or on social media. In this episode, we announce the changes we’ve made as part of the Smutlancers rebrand — and we talk about what we did to make it happen.

In this week’s episode, Molly talks to Amy Norton (she/her), professional smutlancer and founder of Smutathon. Love to write about smut? Want to support a worthy charity? Whether you want to write for a good cause or flex your smut-writing abilities (or both), this episode is for you. Learn all about Smutathon and how you can get involved in this episode.

We almost never have an idea on Monday and reveal a fully fleshed out reality by Friday. It takes time and patience. Along the way, we need to recognize progress and successes as they occur, even if they don’t match the finished picture we have in our heads.

Every month, Molly and I answer smutlancer questions in our mailbag episode. This month, we answer questions on where to pitch your writing, how to stay consistent, and how to apologize less often.

Keep up with what? It could be anything, but specific to our conversation, we refer to your (and our) to-do list, goals, work promised to clients, etc. The topic comes from a question Quinn Rhodes (ze/hir) asked us about maintaining a work-life balance when chronic conditions (like mental health) get in the way — without working seven days a week and burning yourself out (or making yourself worse).

In this week’s episode, Molly and Michael talk about picking a WordPress theme for your site! This is an extremely important decision — but it can also be a difficult one. Whether your current site needs an update or you’re building a new site, give this episode a listen!

This week’s episode is a mash-up of two ideas I thought I had strong opinions about: collaboration and hiring people to do the tasks you can’t or don’t want to do. As in past episodes, this is a look at my current experience and thinking on the topic, as well as (hopefully) a few useful tips.

Every month we answer questions from Smutlancers on a variety of topics. This month, the questions went a bit deeper from navigating how to speak about (and stand-up for) more inclusivity in the sex blogging community to how to support causes that matter to you. (Also, it’s episode 100 but we had no idea when we recorded this!)

Neither Molly nor myself are immune to big dreams. In fact, we thrive on them. But sometimes those big dreams are more like fever dreams and have no basis in reality. In this week’s episode, we talk about a recent(ish) fever dream from late 2019 that we’re only just now turning into something real. More importantly, we’re sharing lessons we’ve learned and things we’re doing differently.

We talk to Quinn Rhodes (ze/hir) about how smutlancers and content creators can be more inclusive of trans and non-binary people.
