5 Things You Should Never Do When Writing a Novel

Jessie Rosen - February 25, 2015

I am writing a novel. I can’t say much more about it right now other than that it is not a blog post, or a TV pilot or a screenplay or a sex story or anything else I at least have a small amount of experience writing. It is also not due next year, which feels like the only appropriate amount of time one should …

How To Survive a Snow Day…As a 31-Year-Old

Jessie Rosen - February 17, 2015

Hello from my parents’ house in New Jersey where there is 8 inches of snow on the ground and everyone is home from school! I’m here for an extra day because my flight back to L.A. after my sister’s bridal shower and bachelorette festivities was cancelled, and I intend to make the most of this day behind the drifts with my second little sister and …

Your Super Last-Minute Valentine’s Gift Guide

Jessie Rosen - February 12, 2015

Why plan your Valentine’s Day shopping in advance when you can rely on a fool proof guide from me three days before the 14th? Here are some of my favorite last-minute items for guys and girls.

Jessie Rosen - February 4, 2015

Yesterday afternoon I met with Stephanie Todaro – the fantastic web master/designer extraordinaire who will be taking this blog into the 21st century (even though it was technically founded in the 21st century). It’s time for a new lay-out, new functionality, new organizational elements and new branding all around. So far we’ve discussed blog template and creative direction. Next I’m putting together a Pinterest board …

The First Co-Ed Sunday Night Sex Talks (And While I’ll Never Stop Doing the No-Boys-Allowed Show)

Jessie Rosen - February 3, 2015

One week from today I’ll be hosting the very first boys-allowed version of Sunday Night Sex Talks, the NO boys allowed storytelling show that I started three years ago in the back room of Bar Lubitsch on Santa Monica Blvd. If you’re in L.A. I can’t imagine why you’d miss it. We have a dream line-up, the new UCB Sunset is or venue, tickets are …
