Audacia Loves Catalina

No, sorry, that’s not the title of a girl-girl porno extravaganza.

It is, however, a hint at a very exciting new chapter in the life and times of Waking Vixen Productions. Though I keep most of my bitching and moaning (well, the impulsive and less articulate bits anyway) off of my blog, I do a fair amount of bitching, moaning and stressing over on Twitter. One day not too long ago, as I was launching the new long format Live Girl Review, I was Tweeting my stress about doing the publicity for the show, and I got an @ message from Catalina. I’ve read her blogs for a while and she recently asked me to be a part of her latest project, a group blog called Best Sex Bloggers.

We started talking about the possibility of Quid Pro Quo, the public relations and marketing company she runs with her husband, representing me and my work, and I’m happy to announce that she’s now part of Team Waking Vixen. Which, if you haven’t figured out by now, has always been just me. But now when people approach me and act as though my business is more than me in front of my laptop, their assumption will be accurate!

There are some parts of my business that have become too much for me - and publicity is one big one. I’m in the process of reorganizing my priorities and trying to work smarter, run my business more efficiently and with a better plan. I’m well on the way to identifying what is most important for me to focus on - Live Girl Review and my writing are high on the list, as is organizing my WVP work so that I can work full time on a project that’s fulfilling and intellectually stimulating. Over the four years that I’ve been doing Waking Vixen stuff, I’ve learned a lot and its grown bigger than I expected way more quickly than I expected. I’ve been crazily devoted to making and promoting cool stuff - and that’s moved me along in the world. But I’m also reaching a crossroads with it all - I need support to make my work move and grow but I also need to devote time and energy to other projects. Bringing Catalina into the fold is a step in the right direction.

So yay! A big welcome to Catalina, who even has her very own Waking Vixen email address - catalina[at]wakingvixen.com. It’s still a little weird for me to see someone else’s name attached to my baby, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it eventually. Until then, Catalina will have to put up with slightly control freaky emails from me. We’ll be rolling out some cool stuff over the next month, I promise - so stay tuned for that!

And in the meantime, check out the bazillion blogs that Catalina does: Catalina Loves, Catalina Says, Mr and Mrs Kink, Tru Fetish, and The Femme’s Guide.
