1. Happy New Year, all! I’m Amelia & I’m a coffee-addicted paranormal & fantasy romance writer.

This month I’ll be mostly focusing on my Fated WIP, which is a steamy PNR about two reincarnated soulmates who work together to reunite their coven & stop an ancient evil.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you.

Who's coming to save you?

Pretty sure I'll be just fine...

New at #WriterBeware: I go in-depth on the most problematic clauses in that Shadow Light Press contract. This isn't just a publisher "beware": exposing bad contract language helps writers understand not just what they should avoid, but what they should demand. writerbeware.blog/2025/12/19/w...
Why These Contract Clauses Are Scary - Writer Beware
The clauses I’m going to discuss in this post come from the contract of Shadow Light Press, a publisher of fantasy and science fiction with deep ties to the LitRPG community. The contract stirred cont...

Still sick and still on deadline. Let's see if I can push through this annoying brain fog and get some more words down tonight.🤞

18. Touch is my favorite & most-used sense. But honestly, I love combining all the senses (with the exception of sight when blindfolds come into play) for maximum effect. Add in some heightened emotions & you have the perfectly evocative sex scene IMO.

10. I have no problem sharing my steamy stories with my close family & friends. But imposter syndrome swoops in whenever I think about sharing my work with the rest of the world. It's a struggle, but luckily, I have a good support system who helps get me through the bad days.

8. Fast feelings with a bit of slow burn. As a reader & writer, I love stories where there's an instant connection & attraction between the characters. I love it when they give into their desires early on, but still take the time to explore their feelings along the way.

8. Season in my WIP:

Nick & Karina’s story kicks off in fall, right before Halloween & ends in winter, shortly after the new year.

Just love it when you're sick and all you want to do is sleep, but you can't sleep because you're too sick. 🙄

❤️‍🔥Banter & conversations that flow with ease
❤️‍🔥Flirting & pining
❤️‍🔥Heated gazes that linger
❤️‍🔥Tender touches that send sparks flying
❤️‍🔥Mutual & magnetic attraction that transcends the physical & so much more...

New extortion scam email going round (this was received via a writer's website contact form). I've seen a number of these recently but without the money demand; the translation angle is also a new one

4. Holiday recipe for some R & R:

❄️ Your favorite comfort read or show

❄️ Comfy pj’s

❄️ Warm blanket

❄️ Scented candle (if you like)

❄️ Beverage of choice (I like mulled wine or boozy hot chocolate)

Find a quiet room, lock yourself inside and enjoy.

3. Both. I wouldn't be comfortable writing steamy stories if I hadn't started reading them.

But I do prefer writing spice over reading it. I just like the comfort of control. And given the choice, I'd rather spend time with my own fictional people than someone else's.

#SmutCember
Continuing our #Smutcember setup:

Do you have a preference between reading smut or writing it, or perhaps engaging with it in a different form of media entirely? If so, what about that form of engagement appeals to you the most?
