Writing Life

So. The Smut Challenge

I don’t know if it’s the “begin with smut” part. I really don’t think it is. I think it’s the fact that I didn’t know much of the story beforehand except for the smut. So the smut is utterly wonderful, and the rest of the story is…just about non-existent? Yeah, that’d be it. Therefore, I […]
