Tuesday Tunes

Welcome back all of my lovely friends. Today’s song is a very deep and fun verse.

Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez

Lyrics :

Hey girl, open the walls, play with your dolls
We’ll be a perfect family
When you walk away, it’s when we really play
You don’t hear me when I say,
Mom, please wake up
Dad’s with a slut, and your son is smoking cannabis
No one never listens, this wallpaper glistens
Don’t let them see what goes down in the kitchen
Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won’t you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
(D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees)
Hey…

My two cents :

I think that at some point each of us has had the moment where we hope that no one looks in the curtains. The outside world always sees only the superficial. Anything that is forced will never be comfortable. What do you make of this song? Do you like it? Why?

Whispers of the muse and title reveals.

So I am approaching the finish line with this volume. I have 10 more poems to write. That means that I hope to be in write mode this week and layout by the weekend.

That means that it is time to reveal the title and cover for the next volume.

The title is Beauty’s Tears.

Keep an eye here for the links once I publish Whispers of the Muse. I have been able to get into the beta for Draft2Digital print. That is going to streamline the links for books from here on out. I don’t think that I can do the older books this way but I can do everything from now out.

Speaking of upcoming books…

I have been working on a memoir… At first I was going to publish it under a pen name. I changed my mind and I am going to use my name. It feels more like I am not hiding any more. This is me taking back my voice.

This is the final design for the cover, believe that I shared a idea for it before as a cover design that I had done.

Monday Poetry

All of these were in Sacks of wit

Friday Funday

Trying to do a writing based fun day.

Admittedly, some of them are writing tips. Some are word funnies. Hope that you enjoyed, and if you have one feel free to share it with me!

Thursday Tea Party

Hello, my lovelies. Today the tea is Stash Chai Black Tea. Quite delicious, and palatable either hot or cold.

On to announcements. My Patreon is about to be busy. I plan to do both Sketchtember and inktober. September will also be a daily prompt for Fae Corps. September will be busy all around for me. There is the deadline for submissions on Faerie Footprints.

I am truly enjoying being a part of Fae Corps. I am also looking into a guest blog sort of thing.

Serena has decided to post about once a month a continuation of The Kingdoms of Sin. She said that you will see the whole thing before we publish it.

I have noticed quite a few new following the blog as of late! I wanted to welcome you all. I do appreciate all of you. Especially when I am late posting, or absent. There is always grace here.
