A flickering candle still casts light.
A lonesome star still shines at night.
“And I will fight with all my might,
For I am resilient,” whispered my heart.
“All I need is a place to start.“

An apt poem, since I’m starting this social media thing again with a new posting plan and an old reminder to self: 1 genuine reader who tucks their heart into my words is worth more than 1,000 nameless, faceless likes.
The Social Media Thing: Your girl’s on Facebook now! I’m also testing out a new layout on Instagram. Follow Twitter for more fangirling tweets.
I really enjoyed a place to start , to me it encapsulates the feeling I get when the inspiration for a piece of writing hits .
Thank you Andy! That’s such a great feeling, when the inspiration hits 🙂
This was great!!! Especially loved this comment 1 genuine reader who tucks their heart into my words is worth more than 1,000 nameless, faceless likes. I feel exactly the same way too!!

You are so good at poetry – I really do hope you get an agent!
Thank you! I hope so too 😭, but I plan to self-publish next year, if I don’t get an agent. Can’t keep waiting around for someone to tell me I’m worth it, right??
Thank you again for your support. H! I’m glad to have crossed virtual paths with you here in WordPress.
Haha, yay!
