Curate, connect, and discover
Sometimes I get too in my head with my writing. Especially about my smut. I reread every last word with the most critical of eyes and think, Ooh is that cringe? Will that be too graphic? Will this word or phrase take people out of the scene?
And then I read a book. A published, hardcover, NYT bestsellers list book and...
Did you get that?
Someone looked at this sentence (likely more than one someone, tbh) and was like, 'Yeah. We'll print that.'
So the moral of the story, my fellow heathen smut writers, is that we're fine.
As a matter of fact, we're actually fucking amazing.
