#write on world

In a world sewn with tears,

While history yields.

Written with words better left

Unspoken.

Frenzied emotions,

Feel like explosions, inside

My heart beating to hide

Voices inside my mind.

Deafening.

Your world is written

From beyond your prison,

Yet you rise, compromise,

Welcome the lies that are fed,

Accepting.

Your loyalties divide.

To a world you have no control in.

Do you stand on the wrong side

Of history and let them decide?

Empowering.

Who will write the final page

In a book where we've embraced.

Our chaos and our anarchy

For simplicity and no sympathy.

Apparent.

Neither side will win.

Calling names through hateful grins

Our pain and vitrol burns from within

While allowing the enemies to win.

We've sold our souls for nothing.

* three little words i’ll leave with you

surrounded by dozens of others you'll get for free in the process;

the reason:

we - all of us are on our own personal quests.

a philosopher/mythologist called it a hero’s journey;

this armchair muse calls it a ‘lifequest’ (new-agey, i kno...)

how about we’re on a plain old trip, then?

anyway, we’re all on it moving through life, even in dreams, too (especially in our dreams…)

for me, anyway— & the theme of many of them is

i’m somehow trying to get back 'home’,

but my car, or bus, or bike either breaks down, can’t be steered or just plain disappears from sight & i’m stuck;

until it hits me - these three little words:

i’m not done.

so if you’re reading this, know that on your journey you’re not done, either.

I wish the world held a love like this warm ember. Just as this ember warms my cold hands this December, may that love soften and warm people’s hearts the same way. 🩷

We lose

all we have

in

death

except

the hope

Hi Volturigroupie!

That’s a really great question! If you’d like, I’m available for freelance copy-editing and I’m sure we could figure a way around the difference in currency since I’m in the US!

Additionally, following some writing advice blogs have helped me a lot! So, you’re heading in a good direction by seeking those sorts of communities online. I really like @write-on-world!

Also having a fresh set of eyes can help make a piece really shine, even if it’s just a family member. I have my older sister or my spouse read my work to pick out continuity errors.

As for formatting, there are a few ways you can get through that. Looking up videos that will walk you through step-by-step as to what you’re doing has been a huge life-saver for me! But, with manuscripts, it’s important to make sure that your formatting is flexible. Some place require certain fonts, certain line spacing, and certain headers. Always make sure to check the submission guidelines. Not following them is the number one way a publisher will pass on (reject) your work.

When in doubt, would you play my song? Would you play all the notes in tune? In a bout, would you say I'm wrong? When in doubt, would you play my song? It's been about two days too long. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon. When in doubt, would you play my song? Would you play all the notes in tune?
