My thoughts 7/5/13

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything on any of my Mama Snow Writes' outlets. Life has been busy for me, and I have been over stressing everything. Sometimes I let my anxieties and my fears of the unknown near future get the best of me. This tends to stop me from accomplishing the things I want in life. The best way to describe it is like a poison slowly killing the rational side of you and makes everything seem impossible even though deep down you know the truth. 

Last night I went on amazon just to "window shop" you could say then I noticed at the bottom where it says "things to consider" it showed my book and I noticed it showed that it had two reviews. I thought to myself a second review...I must read it. 

5 stars: " I loved the entire book; there was so much emotion in each passage that kept my heart beating with it. The poet really conveyed clearly with every word and I can't wait to see what she comes out with next!! I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone for a good read" 

My first reaction, I was left speechless. With over 80 Amazon Kindle downloads and just a handful of actual paperback copies sold but no real feedback I was left to wonder if anyone truly enjoyed the writing I have put my all into. Publishing my poetry has been a dream of mine for years now; so when I saw the chance to be able to publish my work as an Indie Author I just jumped right to it with no experience at all. But sometimes I thought was it worth it? Does my writing mean anything? Do my readers feel the way I felt when I wrote these words down? Was I able to touch someone's heart?

When it finally sunk in what I read I realized even if the whole world doesn't know that I am a writer. Even if there are people who read my book but it "wasn't worth their time" For those who were able to read my poetry and was able to feel my poetry, my journey in becoming an author was all worth it. As silly as it may sound reading this little passage has given me hope again to continue the path I am on. The Gods may not always speak to you and give you the answers you want but when you need it the most they do show you a ray of sunshine when the time is right on the glummest day. 

Writing Prompt: Her coffee cup slipped right out of her hand...

  Her coffee cup sliped right out of her hand and smashed into a thousand pices on the kitchen floor. Without even looking down she placed her hands to her face and broke down in tears, "What is wrong with me?" She thought, " How could I have let it come to this? What am I suppose to do now?" Then she heard the kids run down the staris. She quickly straighten up, wiped away the tears and began to clean up the boken cup on the floor. The kids all rushed into the kitchen all at once saying, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! When is Daddy coming back from his business trip?" "Whoa hold up" she said, "You haven't given Mommy a chance to drink her coffee. Now go to the living room and wait while Mommy makes you breakfast okay? I love you all." The kids all looked at each other and ran into the living room not saying another word. "Those kids," she said as she went to get another coffee cup out of the cabinet, "How am I going to tell them the truth?"

First post

 

 Hello dear fans *waves*, this will be my first post here on Blogger. I started a blog on my website but found it difficult to organize and keep up with. I had to move each post I had made before down to add a new one. I thought hmm there has to be an easier way and an app for that haha. So I found a Blogger app on my website. So here I am creating my first post here so I can set up and figure out how to use the app on my website. From now on I should be able to post more and keep you some what in tune to my Wonderland. 

Til' next time remember,

   Never let the past haunt you for it has no future and neither will you if you continue to relive it.
