There's a conversation happening more and more in our society: how people can become addicted to sex.

But this conversation is mostly reserved for men, and because we spend so much time tearing women down for reading erotica fiction, we don't consider the implications of how this material can become addictive too.

On top of that, whilst we accept men watch pornography, we can’t seem to accept women want to indulge in it via a different medium.

This isn't a discussion about the crime of addiction, it's a discussion about a human desire that can become addictive, and how, as usual, it's only a certain part of the human population that gets privy to be a part of the conversation.

Scarlett Marie is a true born creative, who has spent her whole life dabbling in the arts and craft, only to find her feet in the world of words whereby she has spent over fifteen years making stories come alive.

Her time and energy has been mainly spent on the series A Royal Life, of which she started drafting when she was fifteen.

Here on the 'Diary of a Writer' she hopes to show people a peek behind the door of what it means to live as a full-time creative.

Today we're continuing with discussing the Twilight and 50 Shades series, and this time we're discussion an aspect of what the books did well.

Each western country has their cherry-pickings for where they like to set their stories. Twilight and 50 Shades, however, broke that norm. And Twilight, in particular, did something I haven't seen any other fantasy series do: include a culture that is very much overlooked and ignored in western art.

Which is a trend, I am still waiting to take off.

To wrap up season 2, we are going to explore Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey in depth from a perspective of what can creative writers learn from these two series that become a phenomenon across the world.

Today’s episode is tackling an issue that a lot of people probably don't want to talk about and admit, and that is the underlying sexism in the publishing industry.

We are not just going to be acknowledging and speaking about this, but we're also going to be having a look at how this had an effect on the reception of these two stories because they were written by a female author.
