Let’s talk about…

SEX! Let’s talk about sex.

Ever wondered how to describe those feelings, sounds, touches, etc? I have found the perfect article/website. (Don’t ask me how I came across it, just clear my browsing history when I die! HA)


Dynamic Verbs for Sex Scenes (And Others) was written in 2013 by Anya Breton. Anyone know this person? If so, kiss them for me.


Link to the AWESOMENESS


The article breaks down words for each of the 5 senses and places the words into a table. I am pretty good with writing sex scenes (in my opinion, at least), but I have seen so many romance authors comment on social media about how they struggle with describing in depth sex scenes. I’m guessing they are the authors who have the characters making out and then it ends the chapter. Next chapter opens with the characters wrapped up in the sheets, hair all over the place, sweat still glistening from their bodies…lol Which isn’t a bad thing, but some readers like to know about the moaning, devouring, licking, squirming, etc. I know I do

The Death of Pronoun…

We are gathered here today to say our goodbye’s to our beloved friend Pronoun, who was taking to soon from us…like I had just learned about it a few weeks ago, uploaded my books and BOOM! It leaves us!! (sobs hysterically) It is a sad day in the Indie Author world…

Seriously though. It seems like Indie Authors are losing everything lately!!! i.e. Createspace, Amazon reviews being taken down, and now pronoun!?! What the hell is left? It is hard enough not being a traditionally published author. Throw us a f*cking bone here! Ugh!!! This shit is getting ridiculous! If I ever hit it big, I’m buying a damn online book platform so look out all of you monopolizing assholes!! (companies, you know who you are ) Rant Over…for now

A Gold Mine!

The Link to the Gold Mine


 


Goodmorning, lovelies! So, I was trying to find the perfect place for ARC/BETAs to leave reviews without having to worry about Amazon, who is destroying Indie authors’ review ratings by removing them because of Amazon’s own reasons. I came across a gold mine! Like O-M-G! It’s an article written by Chris Leippi (anyone know him? He’s a genius!) and it’s called “Managing Arc Reviewers”.

(The snippet! HA)


He gives the ins and outs of his experience with ARC reviewers, the best approaches, how often to remind the ARC about leaving a review. The works! I liked this article more than most articles I have read because it is an easy read and realistic!


This article is even helpful to ARC reviewers to get a better understanding of an author’s expectations of an ARC reviewer. I highly recommend authors & ARC reviewers taking a look at this article. Feel free to let me know your thoughts or maybe you have found a better article (????)


 


Happy Reading


S.E.Isaac

Love to Read?

I am currently on the hunt for a few good ARCs. I have been calling them BETAs (interchangeably) without realizing that’s not what I was looking for with “Train to Anguish”. I am looking for readers to read the book and then leave me a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. That’s it. A free novel for leaving a few words on a website at the end!
