What is the art of creative weirdness? What are some great examples of creative weirdness, and how can YOU tap into your own creative weirdness when you are creating art (of any kind)? What is the ONE situation in which creative weirdness is NOT effective? Does art NEED to be “weird” in order to be powerful and incredible? What social commentary and feminist lenses can we view mainstream blockbuster action movies like Die Hard and Top Gun? We answer all of these questions and more in this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast! We collectively, as a society, do NOT share our weirdness enough! So let's talk about that today, through the lens of creative weirdness in TV (this is essentially a rave review of Z Nation), creative weirdness in performance art (burlesque dancing and what makes the burlesque community so special in general), and creative weirdness in novels (My Lady Jane). Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Solopreneur Diary Entries weekly newsletter: SaganMorrow.com/newsletter How to Active Your Intuition (to reconnect with yourself and create space for your creative weirdness to flourish) masterclass: SaganMorrow.com/masterclass Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Support the show

In this episode, we explore the difference between polyamorous IDENTITY vs the PRACTICE of that identity, and answer these questions: Can you write about polyamory if you aren't ACTIVELY polyamorous?

“Do you write queer characters?” → Well… Yes and no! In this episode, I explain why this question is a tricky one, what makes a novel “queer enough” (an even more loaded question!), the nuance behind all of this, and the importance of using the words and labels that feel right for you.Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/books Episode 180 on the Author Diary Entries Podcast: Labels and gatekeeping in romance novelsConnect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Support the show

Is it rude to refer to a romance novel “smut”? Not to me ;) You can call my books whatever you want! …BUT, there's a lot of nuance to this (and context matters) — so in this episode, we're exploring important questions we need to ask around the labels we use, our intentions behind our word choices, and the problems with gatekeeping in the romance novel community. Examples we discuss in this episode include: Smut, enemies to lovers trope, spice levels, smutty vs spicy vs sexy, and “fairy porn” in romantasy.Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Support the show

Today we are answering a listener-submitted question: How did you get "brave enough" to talk publicly about being a romance author? This question was posted by Morgan Starling Writes on an Instagram post back in Feb 2022, in which she said, “I'm hesitant to post pictures of my face on here because of my "day job", so to speak. But at the same time, it feels like there's no balance to the interaction with those whose faces I do get to see! How do you, fellow smut writers or readers, go about it? Did you start out anonymously, too? Was there a point at which you decided: 'Now I'm brave enough'? I just started listening to the podcast of Sagan. It's really cool and she has a beautiful voice. Wonder what she'd have to say about this - Sagan?”In this episode, I share my answer to that question, PLUS some key questions I recommend asking yourself (this is me putting on my Life Coach hat!)WIN BOOKMARKS featuring Sagan's novels when you publish a review of any of her books between now and April 30, 2023!
