Scam Artists

Today I thought that I finally caught a break; a publisher was wanting some short stories to put in one giant book for Halloween. I was going to enter, but one of my friends warned me. It was a scam, and they just wanted money...

It's sad how you have to watch out for things like that now. Oh well, I learned that I need to be a lot more careful. I should just take my time, and not rush on the published thing:\

Poetry

I've heard that one of the best ways to become a better reader and writer is by reading more poetry... But that is something that takes a lot of practice!! I am not good at it at all! Plus I'm a fast reader too, so I like to go over the lines quickly, but if I do than none of it gets into my head.

It's going to take awhile... I'm hoping that I'll be decent at it by the end of the summer!!

Section 3 complete

Yup, I finished the third section of my novel!! Only two left then I'm done! If I finish this series this series it will be a major accomplishment for me; this series is what made me think about publishing and being an author.

I'll kinda be sad when it's all done:(

That empty smile

I tell you I love you
You simply smile back
I tell you I love you
You respond with a nod
I tell you I love you
All I hear is an 'I know'

Pointless
Meaningless effort

Do you not realize how mad you've made me
How completely insane?!
I pour out my soul, I give you my all, my heart
And yet all you can say is I know

Do you not see how this is breaking me?!
Aching me, shaking me, irritating me!
Are you that completely blind to my burning pain?
Do you see nothing?!

I tell you I love you
You simply smile back

Content, with that driving eagerness finally slowing down

Happiness!!!

Well what do ya' know...I actually did it!!! I achieved my eight page goal!!!!!! :D That was the one thing i really wanted to accomplish this summer, and I did it! I'm so happy!

But know I need a new goal, or I'll never get a single thing done....

Hope


How confusing
You are that is
You say friends is enough, then go further
Show love, warmth
Things we once had long ago
Then vanish
Memories come back, this is all so familiar
This pattern
You think I'd learn
I want to
But I still have hope
Maybe the fire can burn again
Passion could bind us back into one
If I just tried harder this time, if I did it differently
Maybe-
-Maybe I need to learn to say goodbye
I say this, but my fingers clutch tightly
I'm still holding on
Onto hope

First Week

Aww heck, It's been officially a week tomorrow since school has gotten out...And what have I gotten done? I'll tell you...

NOTHING!!!!

God, I hate the stupid summer. Too much freedom...

Maybe if I didn't blog and what not, I'd have more done...But I love the internet. Looks like this awful trend will continue for 3 months -__-
