I found some articles on writing reviews that could work with Eden with a bit of tweeking.

How to overcome writers block

How To: Write a product review

and another...

This one is from Self Starters weekly

Really? Are my video reviews ok? I love doing them - but not sure if others like them and keeping them around 3 minutes is so hard.

Scene by scene, shot by shot isn't always needed.
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't believe I've come across Viktor's porn reviews yet.

I did mine in like 8 or 9 scenes and then my experience with it, I believe.

How soft is the outer, how firm is the core, how thick are the layers, how much drag with each type, how flexible is the dildo, How easy/difficult to insert, since most are larger-how well do they stand up or are they floppy/droopy...

Check out some of Gunsmoke's reviews of his Vixskin stuff - where he'll compare a couple of dildos.

For DVD's I do that by scene, all the same questions about each scene. Then ... more
That sounds like a really great way to go about writing reviews.

I'll have to find some time to sit down and do some brainstorming!

The first three I have planned already---I was going to do some comparison squishes with the VIP and with a SuperSoft dildo.

Drag is a really good thought that I hadn't come up with, though---great one! Floppiness is very important to me too

Y'all are gonna think I'm crazy here - but here goes. When I have writer's block - a lot of times its cause my desk is messy and I can't lay the toy down on the desk so I can keep looking at it and holding it and listening to it and feeling it as it vibrates.

So my #1 step with writer's block is cleaning my desk.

My #2 is getting something to drink - coffee or water or whatever.

Just my .02

it doesn't have to be around 3 minutes. i've uploaded a couple at 5 or just above with no complaints. sometimes you need more time!

Ooh, that's a neat comparison idea too.

And yes, Gunsmoke has great comparison reviews!

I love RedBoxBaby's video reviews - you might want to look at hers to see how she does it.
