All what I thought

All that I wanted

All that I saw in you

Was glitter and gold

A fairytale in a dismal world

Sun, where storms were dominant

But now the truth is here

Sitting in my lap

No longer can I deny

Those red flags I thought weren't there.

What once was

Is now a pile of ash.

Warning to writers

While you are worrying about whether beta readers will steal your ideas, there is a more genuine threat on the horizon.

When offered a publishing contract, please do all your research before you sign. There are a number of fakes and scammers out there, as well as good-intentioned amateurs that don’t know how to get your work to a wide audience. I won’t tell the heartbreaking stories here - there are too many.

Being published badly is worse than being never published.

It can destroy your career and your dreams.

The quick check is to google the publishing house name + scam or warning.

But, to be sure, check with these places first. They aren’t infallible (nothing is) but they can help you protect yourself. They are written and maintained by expereinced writers, editors, publishers and legal folks.

Keep yourself and your work safe.

This is really important, so if you are a writer or have writer friends, or you are a writing blog, please reblog it.

Once

We had it all

The making of a perfect life

In a day that glass shattered

Broken fragments scattered

I spend my days mending the cuts

They're far too deep

Still bleeding too much

Wondering when it will stop.

Wondering if I can fully trust.

Being a writer is writing 3,000 words at 4 in the morning and then not touching your work for a month

Reblog this if its okay for your followers to introduce themselves to you.

Just come to my ask box and tell me stuff about yourself. Your pets. Your favorite music. What you had for breakfast this morning. Literally anything you want, I love making new friends
