The Reality of Being a Writer Part 2

-

I know this is late but I wanted to take the time to think on it. I wanted to take the time to real contemplate my successes thus far with my writing. I cannot believe it has been over a year since my first post. The reality is being a writer is hard work. The amount of hours I’ve spent editing, rephrasing and perfecting my work. It’s tedious, but I would not change it for the world. I love my hobby, it brings me a joy no one person could. I find myself in my darkest of thoughts and when I read a book, or work on my book, it brings me joy. I have worked so hard to be where I am today. The dozens of followers I’ve gained in the year and over a thousand reads between my three books and trending a few times. It makes me happy that I put myself out there. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and I did, it feels good to know that the few people that have read have found enjoyment in my writing. I tried hard to capture a romantic light in Alex Walsh that women would love. A strong female lead, with her own mind and a spicy Dom who falls for the girl next door. I love the worlds I’ve created, they take me from my own world. To think that a year ago I doubted myself and if I was actually good enough. I know now that I am good enough. I have put this off longer than I should’ve, but I was unsure of how I really felt. I know now that I feel good about writing and I want to pursue something more with my writing. The reality is being a writer is difficult, but in the end it is worth it. It only brings to light more opportunities and I could not be happier trying, even if nothing ever comes from it. One day, I’ll look back at my accomplishments with writing and find solace. I did this and to me that’s all that matters.

Kryptonite

-
 The swell of emotion, Circles my heart and mind. You’re like a love potion, Cosmically stuck trying to find. I feel broken, A mere token, In a game I never wanted to play. I wish my love for you would fade, But instead, It stays taking a piece of me each day. My heart turned cold, As I grew old, Fourteen years later, and you still have this hold. Tight, Your hold is tight. In control, Never letting go, Your hand wraps around my throat, Your eyes staring down at me intently, Begging, Teasing, Knowing you were leaving. Yet still, Your hold never lets me go. Just for today, They say, Yet a day without you seems like forever. Hopelessly in love, With someone who will never love me back. It’s like I am having a heart attack, Clutching my chest, Gasping for that last breath. You’re like kryptonite, Desperately running away, Knowing ultimately, you’ll have to pay, The final price. My soul. A soul bond I never asked...

In Darkness, We Find Beauty

-
 The way her hair lay on her head, Tightly pulled together into a bun. The shimmer of her skin in the sun’s cast. Small beads of sweat gliding down slowly, In darkness, We find beauty. The small dog licks wildly on the colorful cone, Letting its small belly be filled with a sweet treat. Her poise tells us a story only she knows, Yet her lips tell us the confidence that seeps through, In darkness, We find beauty. The glass half full or half empty,  Maybe it's empty, Or maybe it's full, That’s only for you to decide. But in darkness, We find beauty.

What's Love?

-
  When you think about it, I may have known subconsciously what was really going on. Maybe I thought that if we rekindled what never existed, he would be different. He is not different, nor am I if I thought what I was doing would secure whatever it was destined to be. Nothing. I write constantly about what could have been and what might have been, but what is, is I cannot subject myself to these sadistic men. The world portrays happiness in anything, but heartache never seems to heal. Never seems to be forgiving.   Submissive, masochistic, sad girl, He was never your world. He always belonged to someone else. Whether you realize it or not. You were always just some callous tart, As they say, Maybe one day I will be able to let his opinion of me go, But now, I flow, and flow, Down the dreaded river of tears, Trying so desperately to subdue my fears, I conquer, what conquers me, Yet, I find myself falling in love. Love, What’s that? A feeling of ...
