You Just Put Your Lips Together and Blow….

I’m not usually one for tooting my own trumpet, but August has been such a productive month, even in spite of a protracted flu virus, that, baby, watch me put my lips together and blow!

I published Poe-rotica on amazon at the start of the month. Sales and reads have been slow so far, but I’ve received a couple of positive reviews and it’s early days yet. It’s been a really useful exercise in dipping my toe into independent-publishing, and I’m pleased and proud that I’ve done it. It was quite the buzz when my author copies arrived, I can tell you. They are still sitting in pride of place at my writing desk (dining table), and I haven’t gotten tired of flipping through a copy and thinking, “I did this!”
Sex-toy reviews– I was approached by two companies this month asking me to review their products. My very first experience of writing a sex-toy review, my guest review for May More was published on her blog this week, and has received some lovely feedback. I will be posting another toy review, for the Paloqueth Rabbit Vibrator, tomorrow.
Kayla Lords invited me to do the week 258 Masturbation Monday Round-Up. Yay! My favorite meme and the one I submit material to every week since I started blogging.
Fantastic response to my lesbian experience trilogy on Masturbation Monday
Record numbers of visits to the site, and more new followers.
A three-fold increase in my twitter following @GrantJupiter
Two more nods from fellow bloggers via nominations for the Sunshine Blogger Award.
One short story accepted and due for publication soon, having received really positive feedback (date tbc, I’ll keep you posted)
One smutty short story that I particularly enjoyed writing and am very pleased with submitted to an publisher for consideration. Fingers crossed!
One pitch accepted, and the article completed and with publisher. I’m proud of the finished product, and fingers crossed that the editor will find it a good fit.
Finished writing and editing four out of six smutty short stories for my upcoming collection of all new material (releasing in October)
Another chapter of the big WIP, my novel/la, drafted. (Okay, so it’s only chapter two, but it’s still more than I had at the end of last month 😉 )
