I'm so glad my mom's reaction to learning I wrote smut on commission was 'oh, huh! Congrats on finding a profitable niche for your writing!' 😂
She's so chill and supportive, I wish everyone had a mom like mine
That's cool! Sadly I'm not even talking about the smut, both my parents are not very fond of fantasy so trying to talk about my projects (current and future) makes me feel a bit off, they would prefer that I had a more realistic style and I was working on more serious stuff 🥲
