Hi #Romancelandia! I write cozy erotic romance. Very high heat and generally low angst.
Often kinky but never dark. Sex toys abound.

Am I posting a toy review in the middle of the Superbowl? Yup. I have a LOT to say about AI apps and purple jackhammer dicks, and nothing to say about football.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

Tonight my store, Good Girl Books, hosted our first ever Good Boy Book Club. We were expecting maybe 5 guys, but 15 showed up—most of them strangers—to talk about a romance novel. They were a great mix of guys and from what I heard from the next room (they led it!) they had great discussions!

These are good tips on not just being eligible for being featured on FTB, but making your dong site great for customers.
Seriously do yourself a favor if you're a new shop & budget $60-$100 for a light box. Consider it as important as your first bucket of silicone. Let people SEE your pretty pours!

1. Your Principle Photography Sucks
I need a photo of your toys that clearly shows what it is in one shot. Preferably against a neutral background. Bad Dragon, Weredog, etc. have figured this out - just copy them. Take an evenly lit, 30 degree shot of your toy inside a grey box.

u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts
I'd be happy with big non politics accounts.

does anybody have non-police-related advice for staying safe from an abusive ex? my 2 suggestions to my friend so far were (1) try not to go anywhere alone if you can help it (2) buy a second lock for your door
(1) is not feasible. she’s a single mom with a job and she has no local community

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

one of the things being a romance reader has taught me is that purity culture (all sex is bad) and porn culture (all sex is salacious/emotionally hollow) are just two sides of the same coin, and it's really not worth fighting with either group of people.

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

Emailed Southwest to suggest they carry some gluten-free snacks, and they wrote back and declined to do so. They suggested I carry my own snacks, though, which is definitely something that never occurred to me, a person with a food allergy.
