The inevitable slow down…
“Furious activity is not substitute for understanding.” H.H. Williams Last week’s review/preview was overwhelming, I know. For you…and for me. But, that’s how beginnings tend to be for me…fast, furious, manic…full of energy and possibility and want. And then reality slows my roll, and I find the cracks, the crevices, and the things that must change for my plans to be sustainable. I don’t necessarily over-plan. I just plan more than is necessary so I have room to move and choose what fits best. Now that I’ve lived my plans for a few weeks, I am tailoring them to fit “just right.” It’s a journey I take repeatedly throughout…

A Journey of a Thousand Miles…
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” – Lao-tzu So, I’m planning on doing some weekly and monthly reviews here on the blog, to keep myself accountable to all those intentions/goals I set for myself, both for the blog and in my personal life. This is my first one. And it is super link-heavy. Accomplishments I’ve accomplished a lot on the blog this past week: My post “What Feels Good?” was selected in the Sinful Sunday round-up. I took part in TMI Tuesday for the 1st time in a long time. My post “Looking Back to Plan Forward” was selected for the Wicked…

The Erotic Journal Challenge 2022
As I have noted in several posts the past week or so, CONSISTENCY is one of my focuses for this year. I have a tendency, like many others (raise your hand if you’re in the I-make-big-plans-and-then-fizzle-out-on-keeping-then club), to commit to too many things or create projects that I simply can’t complete or stop caring about over time. I tried to keep that in mind with my blog plans this year. I’ve committed to 3 things: a photography challenge, flash fiction, and an erotic journal. Now, the journal is basically just the personal narrative core of this website, so I’m really just re-commiting to doing a better job of posting regularly.…

2022 Blog Plans, Projects, and Features
I’m keeping my goals for 2022 smaller, or at least more organized, than normal. I have a tendency to plan too big and then fail quickly to keep up with my oversized ideas. I’m a busy girl, with work, school, parenting, wife-ing, and I’ve made myself a goal to read at least 2 books per month and keep up with exercise, too. So, I have to keep myself in check here at brigitdelaney.com. I do need a pretty clear schedule, though, to keep myself CONSISTENT, which is a goal both here and in my relationship. So, here’s what I’m committing to: Flash Fiction I’ve been getting back into the fiction…

My Top 10 Posts of the Year
Top 10 Most Viewed Posts of 2021 I lost a lot of readers in 2021. I’m not exactly sure why, other than my hiatus It went right along with a big loss in Twitter followers. But, in general, the “sex-blogging” community has sort of been crumbling for a few years now. Shifting alliances have put a dent in everyone’s readership, and many of us have cut ties, simplified, re-organized, and moved on. Now, many of us are rebuilding and re-networking. The following are in order from most popular to least. I have also listed the associated memes, just so I can see which have brought me the most views/traffic. What…

Have you checked out my projects?
Most of what I do on this site is ultimately for my own pleasure. It’s a big bonus if I catch a few readers, and an even bigger bonus if they comment or play along. But, I do keep track of what features get the most attention, and it can affect what I keep and what I don’t. It can also sway what I choose to write about and the topics I lean toward. Currently, if you’re not already playing, my meme projects are noted at the top of the page: The Erotic Journal Challenge (my longest running), Tell Me Something True (new this year, and not getting a ton…

Origin of my pen name
I’ve had a few different pen names as a blogger over the years. For obvious (and not so obvious) reasons, I’m not about to put my real name out there. I can’t even remember what name I used when I began this sex blogging journey some 12+ years ago now, but I finally settled on The Lustful Literate once I established my blog and started honing in on my “theme” or “brand,” which at the time, I was pretty clueless about. I really just wrote when I wanted and about what I wanted. There was little semblance of cohesion to my blog, and it was a scattered mess. Over time,…
