Nightmare Whispers Madness Echoes
Serena Mossgraves swore that she would be in EVERY anthology put out by Fae Corps Inc. And she might have succeeded except for the fact that we split the submissions for Nightmare Whispers into 3 volumes. As it is she is in two of them because she couldn’t decide between the two stories which to […]
Meet the Author Serena Mossgraves
This has been a crazy month so far. Fae Corps is releasing 4 anthologies on the 31st, and I have been busy getting them ready for release. Then I get a seasonal crud. So I have been sick for the last two days.
I am starting to feel better and I look into the blogs (as I am often the one that maintains the Fae Corps blog). I did a few planned posts and decided to read the blogs that I follow to find a few to spotlight. Y’all! I literally had an angry comment on one of the shared posts claiming that I posted it without permission. I have taken the post down, unfollowed the blog in question, and blocked them so I will not accidentally see them and reblog anything by them.
I was under the impression that reblogging gave the post more reach. Which seems like more people seeing what you wrote is better? I don’t know.
I am not going to dwell on this. Instead I will let you know that we have a newsletter now (see the Fae Corps blog). We are always looking for stories and poems to feature on both. I like to link directly to the persons site when I feature people.
I have a few more people in our author spotlight file to still post on the blog… I have not forgotten. Once the meet the author for the new anthologies are done I will be returning to focus on those.
Lyrics – I’m sorry
Somebody hurt ya
When you were younger
But why’d you take it out on me?
Now you’re over, soon you’ll see
I forgive ya
It’s not your fault you’re
So frickin evil
Spreading lies about you and me
Tore it down, made it seem easy
What’s the way to Heaven?
Now you’ve found a way to sell it
You thought I’d lay down and die
But it’s my turn now to start the fires
You’re E-V-I-L
You burn this place to Hell
But it don’t matter when you’re dead
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
E-V-I-L, they’re all under your spell
But it won’t matter when you’re dead
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L
But it don’t matter when you’re dead
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
Your problems are not my problems you’re forgettin’
Cannot change who you are inside
You let it out let your dark run wild
I know it
Wasn’t my fault
I can’t believe though
That you think you have escaped me
I’ll hunt you down, just you wait and see
What’s the way to Heaven?
Now you’ve found a way to sell it
You thought I’d lay down and die
But it’s my turn now to start the fires
You’re E-V-I-L
You burn this place to Hell
But it don’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter)
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends (don’t matter)
E-V-I-L, they’re all under your spell
But it won’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter)
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L
But it don’t matter when you’re dead
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L
E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V-I-L (E-V-I-L)
You’re E-V-I-L
You burn this place to Hell
But it don’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter)
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends (don’t matter)
E-V-I-L, they’re all under your spell
But it won’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter)
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L
But it don’t matter when you’re dead
Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
My 2 cents – this song has been stuck in my head for 2 weeks now. It has a catchy rhythm to the music. The message behind it is strong.
Not only is my poem live on Coffee House Writers, but two of my best girls have new on there too.

I know that I missed all last week.
I have been struggling with files for four anthologies. Trying to get it all to shine. I have been fighting my own self doubt. I have been working on trying not to feel like I have to do it all.
That is probably the worst thing about me, that feeling like I have to do it all, like I can’t lean on anyone else or I will burden them. Because I am, in my own mind, never good enough. I work extra hard to attempt to be seen as even half of the capable as the others around me. And then I end up intimidating the ones that I admire. Intimidating and hurting, because they end up feeling that they cannot possibly do as much as I do. While I am feeling that I am a screw up because I am dropping balls that I should have never tried to carry at all.
Balls bounce, and I can often grab them in rebound, but the hurt… I regret that. I try to be a good person. I try to do everything right… Even though I often do not have a clue what right actually is. So sometimes all that I can do is see the balls drop, and apologize for causing the hurt.
I read somewhere that the truest apology was changed behavior. This is where I truly fail. I try. But in some ways it is like an addiction. I have to put myself in that mess. I have to try to be the one that is doing the overwhelming of myself. It is my toxic trait.
Because I want to be seen as amazing… And there is the voice in the back of my head that is always going to tell me I am not.
That voice we all have. It’s mean. It bullies us into believing the lie… AND it is a lie. I am not worthless. I am talented and I am loved. I have been improving at art, writing, cover design, and publishing. I have been improving with all of my skills that have been a struggle… Except for dealing with interpersonal relationships.
I am sorry for those who I hurt when I am dropping the balls. I am sorry for the heartache that I cause in those who love me. I am not going to say that I will try to do better, because I should not lie, even to myself. However I will say that when I am struggling with the mental gremlins, and fighting for the strength to share the load… I am so very grateful that I have you all in my life.
You are amazing. You all keep me going. And I only hope that my own stubborn nature will not end up pushing you away.
