Lyrics – I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed Oh God, it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head ‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head How do you feel? That is the question But I forget, you don’t expect an easy answer When something like a soul becomes initialized And folded up like paper dolls and little notes You can’t expect a bit of hope And while you’re outside looking in Describing what you see Remember what you’re staring at is me ‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head How much is real? So much to question An epidemic of the mannequins Contaminating everything When thought came from the heart It never did right from the start Just listen to the noises (No more sad voices) Before you tell yourself It’s just a different scene Remember it’s just different from what you’ve seen I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed And all I know is that it feels like forever When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head ‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head And it’s the stars The stars that shine for you And it’s the stars The stars that lie to you And it’s the stars The stars that shine for you And it’s the stars The stars that lie to you I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed Oh God, it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head ‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head And it’s the stars The stars that shine for you And it’s the stars The stars that lie to you And it’s the stars The stars that shine for you And it’s the stars The stars that lie to you Who are the stars Who are the stars they lie
My 2 cents – with all of the confusion in the world, this song feels like it is so relevant. I saw a meme earlier that asked if anyone else felt gaslit by 2020 ?! This year has been a trial for most of us.
Wednesday I posted a art piece. Today I am following it with a poem. Both were inspired by a dream. I may end up doing a story of the dream. I don’t know. I am recovering from an er visit Wednesday night… So I am fighting exhaustion…. But I wanted to share this.

Lyrics – Today I’m kinda feelin’ like a ghost Call my friends but ain’t nobody home Tell myself I’m fine, but I don’t really know I’m just scared that I’ll end up I’ll end up, I’ll end up alone I never let it show But I feel like a missed call on a phone Tryna live my life pay as you go But I’m so scared that I’ll end up I’ll end up, I’ll end up alone You know I’m like a ghost Sometimes I have to fade And it haunts me that I have to be this way You say it’s gone cold I say I’ll do better But I always seem to disappear again You know I’m like a ghost I see it in your face And it haunts me that I have to be this way You say it’s gone cold I say I’ll do better But I always seem to disappear again You know I’m like a ghost You know I never meant to cut you off Got phantom feelings I can never stop Stranger things to worry ’bout I know But I’m so scared that I’ll end up I’ll end up, I’ll end up alone I can’t see myself in the mirror Does that mean I’m not really here? I’m losin’ touch with everything I know And I’m so scared that I’ll end up I’ll end up, I’ll end up alone You know I’m like a ghost Sometimes I have to fade And it haunts me that I have to be this way You say it’s gone cold I say I’ll do better But I always seem to disappear again You know I’m like a ghost I see it in your face And it haunts me that I have to be this way You say it’s gone cold I say I’ll do better But I always seem to disappear again You know I’m like a ghost You know I’m like a ghost Ooh, I’ll be ok I’ll be alright I know, ooh, I’ll be ok I’m just scared that I’ll end up alone You know I’m like a ghost I see it in your face And it haunts me that I have to be this way You say it’s gone cold I say I’ll do better But I always seem to disappear again You know I’m like a ghost
Ok… Let’s get down to the discussion of money. Being a writer is far from cheap. You will not see a large check each month…not generally speaking… Most writers actually end up spending more money to put together their books than will be earned immediately.
Serena’s Rust, Gore, and the junkyard zombie… Cost me $250…twice. Two visits to the editor (I was neurotic)…editor rates are usually a price per word. Though some have a flat rate. On average for a full length novel count on spending anything from $200 to $1000. Shop around and find an editor that is not going to change your voice, but still going to do it right.
Another cost you should count on (unless you are able to do it yourself) is the cover. From what I have seen a decent cover can run you anywhere between $30-$500.
That does not count any costs after publishing. That will be another post. But this is the costs of self publishing.
