Blogging is harder than it looks. There’s timing, hashtags, content, and readers to consider. When you first start, if you are anything like I was, you think that you really are less than interested in sticking to a schedule… more that you just want to get what you have to say heard.
Then you start seeing that you are being seen more… Hence people are seeing what you have to say… And it becomes the thing to stick with a schedule (something I am still struggling with)…
So you find yourself searching through the daily Hashtags to find something that both fits your blog and is easy to do content for. You realize that the blog is in control.
I think that I am just not going to plan for Friday. If I feel like posting I will. Thursday is going to stay chaotic as a true mad tea party should be chaotic. (Even if the poet hosting the party is only half mad…). So I think that the blog posts that I share regularly will be Monday poetry, Tuesday Tunes, and Wordless Wednesday. Even the weeks where I am struggling I can usually do those 3.
It was suggested that I do a Follow Friday… Problem is it does not fit my blog. It’s too calm for my crazy
[Verse 1] Creeping eyes from across this masquerade Feeling scared, every stare will cut like blades Dead inside, try to hide behind And shake the tremors
[Verse 2] Hiding with a smile in a crowded place Moaning through the lips of a plastic face Every word just a code that screams Owned by terror Are you scared to see what lies beneath Behind these artificial teeth Through the guilty strings this mask Controls it’s wearer
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
[Verse 3] Vilified for deeds done in the light Hiding away within plain sight These cloaks are keeping safe The secret faces Terrified of making one mistake Narrow mind t’ill the soul begins to break We are just husks seeking The world’s false graces
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
[Verse 4] Awake within the moment Asleep throughout our lives We suffer in this torment Ensnared in our own lies In facelessness we’re equal When we’re not even there You’re someone underneath this Behind the mask you wear
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
My 2 Cents
This year has a lot of mask themes. It feels like it is being encouraged more an more to hide who we truly are. I am not sure if I am happy about this. This song expresses that unease at the hiding of self. it makes me feel like I am less of a freak in the fact that I hate the hiding we do,

ok. I am multi faceted. I design jewelry. I make various pieces. I sell them… or I try to… this year has put a damper on the sale of stuff. I have to work on that. To that end I think that I will be trying to do a sudo store. I will be doing a page of pictures of for sale stuff and put the price as caption. then I can do PayPal for the transactions.
Hello Lovelies! Long time since we had tea. My current favorite is Lipton’s Peach Passion Green Tea.
2020 is nearly over, and I know that I am not the only one who is grateful. 2021 is already shaping up to be busy. Fae Corps has several authors lined up that we are going to be publishing. We have 2 anthologies planned (Fae Playgrounds and Fae Shivers). Serena is going to be in Circle City’s Absurd Apocalypse Anthology. And I submitted to two of Indie Blu(e)’s upcoming Anthologies. (I hope I get accepted, their books are always so pretty. )
Song of Shadow released this week. I am still working on Half Mad Meanderings and Heart Drops. I hope to release both in 2021. I am also planning on pulling each of my Poetry Volumes, one at a time, and Revamping and re-releasing them. I don’t know how long it will take to do each volume. I do know I will be releasing Large Print versions of each as well. I have learned so much this year that I can put into practice on my books. I hope it will give you, my readers a fun thing to look at.
This will be as far as I am concerned the final version of each book. Serena’s not going to do that with her books, and I am going to go through the poetry volumes first then deal with the children’s books after. I may try to talk Serena into large print at least.
I am also working on Grandmothers wisdom. Coffee house writers anthology will release next week. Like I said 2021 is shaping up to be a busy year.
