Many years ago, my first kids book was Pip the pup. I illustrated it with my own drawings and clip art. One of my young readers – Dante, asked for more of Pip’s story.
I couldn’t refuse him. Releasing December fourth is the next chapter of pip’s adventure… Done in the same style. My own drawings and clip art to illustrate what I hope will be a good continuation of a cute story.
And with characters I plan on writing more of.
Links to come… Soon. (I swear)
Lyrics –
[Verse 1]
I must be the kings of gambling
‘Cause I’m no ace of hearts babe, as you know, mmm
People say pick yourself up from the ground
But I just keep on sinking, like a stone, mmm
[Post-Verse]
When I drift closer you float further, out
And I hate, yeah I hate it
It’s like I’m the story’s villain
And you are the heroine
And I can’t win
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to say I’m sorry but it sounds like it’s your fault
And every compliment just sounds like you’re no good at all
Yeah I hate to be the reason for you walking out that door
But right before I fix it, I fuck it up
[Chorus]
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
[Verse 2]
You’re the best I’ve ever had
Hope I’m not your worst, but I don’t know, mmm
Sorry I’ve dragged you down through every circle
Down through my inferno
Should’ve cleaned first, mmm, mmm
[Post-Verse]
When I drift closer you float further, out
And I hate, yeah I hate it
It’s like I’m the story’s villain
And you are the heroine
And I can’t win
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to say I’m sorry but it sounds like it’s your fault
And every compliment just sounds like you’re no good at all
Yeah I hate to be the reason for you walking out that door
But right before I fix it, I fuck it up
[Chorus]
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
My 2 cents –
I can’t help feeling like this song is reading my mind. I often feel like a screw up. Whether I am or not. This one has been stuck in my head lately.
Last week was a bad one. I spent the majority of it down with a migraine. That unfortunately means that this blog suffered slightly, I try to keep up but as any who follow me know, sometimes it is not possible.
The Thoughts within will release September 18th. I am only waiting for it to be accepted by the printer, then I will post links.
This week I am gearing up for the Flea Market. We will be at Capital Flea Market on Saturday, barring any catastrophe. I will try to video the set up and post it.
I am now on TikTok…as Pattimouse of course. I post vids of my poetry and some of me reading. There will be no Monday Poetry this week, however I hope to be able to post the other normal posts.
Fae Corps’s Newsletter for September goes out on the first – My art is in there. If you have not signed up – Why Not? Every month the interns choose some art, some poetry, and some stories submitted for the newsletter. There are announcements, and who knows what else. (The fairy interns are a busy lot.)
Well that’s fun. We have a tie. Four votes each for gathering teardrops and fighting ignorance. Three votes for on my way home. Two votes each for crimson petals and thoughtcicles. And a vote for just verse.
So I have to choose the winner… But it is far less options. So I flipped a coin. Heads for Gathering Teardrops and tails for Fighting ignorance. I got a heads.
That is my next volume. I will have to let everyone know when I am able to publish the voices within.
So you found a new book?
Or maybe you just published one?
Did you find a new webcomic that you like?
Or a song you think everyone should hear?
No need for explanation…Just Share it.
You find a good deal that you think we should all see? Just share!
Or hey even a joke you think too fun not to share, Just share it.
Post links in the comments.
Occasionally I will too.
So I finally finished writing The Voices Within. (Cover below 👇)
And I am trying to pick the next volume title… So I want input here. Pick your favorite! I will announce the winner next Thursday.
There is six options. Comment the one you think would be the best.

Lyrics –
Lost in a dream
I had when I was young
No I never woke up
From itI broke a chain
I turned and ran
No I never looked back
AgainIs there anybody out there?
Hello can you hear me?
Or am I just screaming to the void?
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Cause I’m feeling like a creep here
Standing on the outside
Tunnel vision stares cut to the bone
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Is there anybody out there?
Are you a freak like me?
Getting kicked out somewhere
Are you a freak like me?
Tell me where you wanna go
And baby we’ll go
You don’t gotta walk that way alone
Fuck this place
We don’t gotta go back there
Is there anybody?It’s all on me
Yeah everything’s my fault
Locked in a bathroom stall right now
Death of a dream
It’s running down my cheeks
Won’t let ’em see me weak
Like thisIs there anybody out there?
Hello can you hear me?
Or am I just screaming to the void?
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Cause I’m feeling like a creep here
Standing on the outside
Tunnel vision stares cut to the bone
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Is there anybody out there
Are you a freak like me?
Getting kicked out somewhere
Are you a freak like me?
Tell me where you wanna go
And baby we’ll go
You don’t gotta walk that way alone
Fuck this place
We don’t gotta go back there
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Hello can you hear me?
Or am I just screaming to the void?
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Is there anybody out there?
Are you a freak like me?
Getting kicked out somewhere
Are you a freak like me?
Tell me where you wanna go
And baby we’ll go
You don’t gotta walk that way alone
Fuck this place
We don’t gotta go back there
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
My 2 Cents –
Don’t we all feel alone sometimes? This song speaks to that lonely feeling. I often feel like this. I sit alone typing into a void…Is there anybody out there?
As I am so close to the finishing of The Voices Within…I decided to share older poems this week.
