Honesty

February 9th 2010 12:08
Honesty

Honesty
that's all I ask for
why is it
the only thing I never get?

You can't even
tell me to my face
that you wish we could be
but that it just won't work.

I don't know
which hurts more-
hearing that
or knowing that you
couldn't tell me yourself.

I like you
a lot.
Really, I do.
And I know
that you like me too.

It's too bad
that you can't be honest
because maybe if you could've been
there would've been a chance
far down the road
for us.

Now there is nothing
but messages
from third parties
and a web of lies
of your making
not mine.

Why,
when honesty is the only thing I want
is it the only thing I never get?

Just a poem... nothing else to say today. Sorry there was no post yesterday; it was a long, screwed up day.

Publication: I Dream Of Freedom

January 28th 2010 12:57
Yesterday my poem, I Dream of Freedom, was published at Uhuru. You can find the poem here (clicky).

Uhuru's mission is to raise awareness, and to raise money to help free children who are enslaved around the world. The writers don't get paid, but it gets your work out there and it's going to a good cause.

Not much else to say today. Finished all my school work and now I'm rather exhausted mentally.

Why?

December 16th 2009 12:27
Why
do I love you?
Why
do I want you so?
Why
do visions of you plague me
do you appear in my dreams?

Why
does love
always fall apart for me?
Why
can't I just be happy
just once?

Maybe
I should ask you
maybe
you'd be different
but who's to say
I'd be any different
to you?

Why do I even care?
Why don't I just give up?
I've thought about it
so many times
why can't I go through with it?

Perhaps this time
I really am done with love-
but why
did it have to be this way?
----------------------------- -----

The boy I was dating and I broke up last night... I'm not too heartbroken over it but this was all I could think of to write for today. Perhaps we will get back together later on-it was the kind of breakup where that is entirely likely-but in the meantime, I'll be chasing the boy I've always wanted but never quite had... wish me luck.

Bleed-A Poetry Collection

September 20th 2009 18:17
I've been working on Bleed for quite some time now. I don't remember when exactly I started it, but I know it's a project that's been going on all summer and then some. For the last week or two I've been debating turning it into a free eBook, or having some of it come out as a free eBook and then later on the entire thing come out for a price.

I made my official decision today. I am going to release an excerpt of Bleed, which will include ten poems and an introduction. I haven't, as of yet, decided the best way to share this excerpt. I'm debating a couple of free file-sharing sites, as well as giving the file away for free on the website for A Cutter's Journey, or having people send me an email asking for the file/sign up to be a member at A Cutter's Journey so that I have their email and can email them a file containing the excerpt

What I've Done This Week

September 4th 2009 12:31
So this week I've decided not to continue on with Eternia Falling. I need to do detailed worldbuilding for the time period before I can properly write the book. And that gets to wait until at least December, because right now I've got a lot of work to do for the Jihad series.

I've written several poems in the last week, and I wrote the three pages I need for the Phoenix, one page for Those Who Are/Those Who Have Always Been and two of the pages for Elwin's character bio, so I'm doing pretty well so far with the worldbuilding

September Goals

September 3rd 2009 03:58
Goal setting is incredibly important for a writer. You need to have clear, concise goals that are achievable, and you need to know how to reach those goals, and make each step its own miniature goal.

Personally I've got a couple Big Goals which are more long-term and several smaller goals which mostly build towards reaching those Big Goals. For example, one of my Big Goals is to finish the rough draft of one of the books in the Jihad series by January 1st, 2010. Smaller goals reaching towards that include worldbuilding, character building and outlining

Hi Guys!

August 31st 2009 06:23
Hi everyone. First off, I'm back to my regular blogging schedule. I'm sorry for the rough week as far as posting is concerned. Posts will be regular again.

I had an amazing birthday weekend. I got the signatures of some great voice actors, got some buttons, a bookmark, two free mangas and a very long book to read written by a friend of mine. Some parts of it weren't so great but I was entirely satisfied after all-especially considering that all the signatures were stroke of luck last minute type things

I'm Back

August 15th 2009 20:50
Anyone who commented on the posts I've made over the last few days will notice that their comments are now being responded to-and thanks to everyone who's been reading-as I am back from the cottage.

I had a great time. I did pretty much everything I wanted to do in terms of writing except outlining the pre-Nano course I have planned. I went swimming twice every day except yesterday, when I only got down to the beach once (I wish I could've gone twice though). I watched the sun rise and set on the beach, and we had lots of fun with fire

August 14th 2009 00:11
This is a list of ten things you can look forward to here on this blog over the coming year. I've been planning quite a few workshops and things to do around here to make life more interesting. I've also been debating making a forum for these workshops. Anyone who would be willing to help me run it should contact me at diannalgunn@gmail.com about it.

Here are some things you can expect to see

2 Year Blogaversary

August 13th 2009 23:40
This is my official two year blogaversary for Fictional Worlds. Today, that is. So I'm writing a special post to talk about the last two years of my writing.

When I first came here, I had never had a poem published. I was completely unknown, unheard of, and no, I could not be found on Google. But I did have one good thing going for me: a talent and passion for writing

Best Of...

July 30th 2009 05:34
So. My two-year anniversary of blogging is coming up. (Agust 13th) I've decided that on the date itself I will be doing a special post, thanking those who have inspired me since I came here, talking about why I blog etc. etc. It will also have links to some of my best posts since January.

I'm going to do four posts, total, in relation to this. Each one will contain 10 of my favourite posts from a certain time period since I've been here

How I Got Into Poetry

July 9th 2009 03:08
Those of you who read my blog regularly and have been for some time now (I actually think that might be most of my 10 or so readers) will know that poetry is one of my greatest passions. For me it flows easily and quickly; I don't have first drafts and second drafts of poems. I have one draft, and you either see that draft or you never see the poem at all.

The first writing I ever got really into was short story writing. Since I've started writing novels, I've found it much harder to write short stories now, as when I try, they end up growing into novels. It's somewhat frustrating but I get through it
