I fought the Internal Battlefields and finished the writing as of today for it. I will be announcing the publication date as I have it…
I asked here and on several of my social media… and the choice came down to Hellfire and other illusions, my causality, and Immortality. So I asked Joe… His choice was Immortality. My daughter liked it best but felt like I would have an easier time writing Victory over the Asylum. I hope she is wrong there.
My flowers are incredibly simple to make. I place a small spot of color on the page and push it around until I get it looking like a flower. Perhaps because it is so easy is why I struggle to see them as being as amazing as everyone else seems to see them.
I am currently looking at the idea of doing some cosplay.
This is really stretching out of my comfort zone. I love the idea of dressing up, but I don’t like the idea of doing anything that puts me in the spotlight.
Just doing the reading of my own poetry on TikTok requires a lot of work to get me to feel like I am not putting my own feet hip deep in my head.
I have been eyeing the mushroom hats. Apparently there is a wonderful tutorial on making them on YouTube…
I found several…I think that I really want to make this one…
Once upon a time in a far away land A little girl lived under her father’s hand She wept in silence and never talked Her father made sure that he called the shots He nailed the door shut so she couldn’t leave Blew out the lights so she couldn’t see But one night she broke through the window pane Nothing could stop her great escape ‘Cause this girl had plans That he’d never understand All the miracles she saw in her dreams All the amazing things that she could be So the little girl ran away from home you see Little girl go on and write your story Little girl rejoice ’cause you’re finally free Little girl be who you wanna be You already know the strength inside your heart You don’t need someone to tell you who you are Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Twenty years later through the hourglass The little girl grew up in the time that’s passed All those late nights ’cause she worked three jobs Started from pennies now she’s her own boss One day she opens up the door to meet A stranger at window guess who she sees Her father shows up with a face of red Head down low he looks up and says I know you can’t forgive All the things that I did But I’m hoping that you’ll understand For you I always had a plan So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved The world she saw from all the highest peaks How she moved the mountains with her fingertips Head to toe her father finally admits You already know the strength inside your heart You don’t need someone to tell you who you are Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Go and say the words you know you long to speak Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Be who you wanna be Little girl little girl be who you wanna be Ah Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
My 2 Cents –
Okay I was going to post this last week but I realized it was going to be V-day and changed my mind because of that. This song made me cry 😭. I have been that little girl. Every girl in my generation has. Expectations are a heavy load.
Ugh, I’m always late…. thankfully my publisher is on the ball. Ethereal Dreams released yesterday. I hope you are enjoying it if you bought it, if you haven’t then I hope you do.
