NEW BOOK OUT NOW!

To Death, justice and revenge look the same.

For centuries the Kingdom of Rosa has prided itself as a place where nature and the arts are nurtured and celebrated. The people who live there are known to be talented and ambitious and Iseul Hann is no exception. Despite her young age, her immense musical talent had granted her a position in the royal orchestra, and being promised to the love of her life has left her with nothing else to wish for.

That is until one night everything is taken away from her. Alone and defeated she ends up in a different Kingdom living a life she doesn't want. With nothing left to lose, when her path crosses with a man that Kings and Queens tremble before, Iseul asks for the only thing he can give her. Closure.

NEW CHAPTER EVERY SATURDAY AND WEDNESDAY

i am feeling very emotional ..this is unusual for me

this book is finally out of my mind and onto pages out now around the world. the idea that it will genuinely help people - make them laugh and feel closer to me, makes me feel like all the struggles i have been through have been worth something.

please, save yourself any time you would lose by not feeling as happy and peaceful as you deserve to. you aren’t broken or built that way, we all have the power to change how we feel and just have to understand how.

i am only here because of your support and the kindness and patience you have given me. thank you.

When I was little I was taught to not start multiple projects at once because I'd get confused or mess them up or end up half-assing them.

I was taught when I start doing something, to finish it and then start up with something new.

It took me years to realize that while this is a good way to do things, it doesn't work with creativity. There are so many stories that I never even thought to write down because I was scared that if I wrote two things at once I wouldn't do a good job. I was terrified of writing more thing than one, despite having the inspiration and want to do it.

At the start of this year, I decided to take a break. Having written two stories in the last I just needed a break. And then I got inspired. I wrote 60k words and then I got inspired again but for a different story. I was still scared, but I realized something... I didn't want to lose either of these stories.

So now, I've written 80k words on the first one and 20k words on the other. And both of them are so fucking good.

Help urgently needed!!!

*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST*

Tuesday, April 27th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who’s in desperate need of help. I'm really sorry to be asking for help again so soon, but things have gotten worse for me and due to my bills, fees and charge-backs, both my accounts are overdrawn.

As most of you are already aware from my previous post, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefits being under a review, which is due to my worsening mental health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And at the moment, I'm currently struggling to get by, as I don't get my U.C benefit until the end of the month, and all my previous donations have gone to pay off court fees, to avoid going back to court in June. I am also still awaiting the outcome of my PIP Assessment (April/May 2021 at the latest)

I know this is a huge ask, and I'm completely heartbroken to be asking for help again, but I still desperately need some as I don't have anyone else to turn to and I'm currently bedridden with a UTI/kidney infection.

My bank account is in the negative by -£216.62 & my PayPal is -£89.43!! So my goal to pay these off is £300.

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.

£116.48/£300!!

I've owned a dog for over a decade and I love her more than myself but can I just say, I hate how stressful it can be. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and there's nothing we can do about it and ever since, I have been stressed over everything. I mean, my panic disorder definitely doesn't help my case, but goddamn, there's nothing wrong with her but you'll still find me sitting in a corner panicking and over-thinking everything.

Battling The Bump: Triumphing Over Writer’s Block

It’s important to take breaks when you’re writing so that you don’t get blocked. Here are some helpful hints by Young Writers Program Participant Cozetta J!

As we all know, writer’s block is no fun. Writer’s block is when you want to keep writing, but you feel like you can’t. Like the words and the inspiration won’t come. Let’s go back to when you were first starting to write your book. Your novel was doing great. The plot was progressing, and your characters were thriving. You were so excited about getting your novel started, and you couldn’t wait till you had it finished and on your shelf; possibly even published! 

But then, all of a sudden, you realize that your plot went by too fast, or you got ahead of yourself and you began writing about things that weren’t supposed to happen till a while later in your book. You realize that your book is a mess. Disgusted, you stop writing your novel, and you move on to other things. Everyone keeps telling you to “not give up!”, or “don’t stop writing!” which are two very important things to do. But sometimes, you need a break from writing. There is such a thing as writing TOO much in too little time. I’m not saying that it can’t be done, just that it could give you the dreaded writer’s block. But can you really avoid getting it? Well, I am sorry to say that you can not. It’s almost like your brain just freezes and says, “This isn’t fun anymore,” and so you stop writing your novel.

Mercy Thompson Characters as John Mulaney Quotes

Mercy Thompson: Get the f*ck out of here with your technicalities. Just because you’re accurate, doesn’t mean you’re interesting.

Adam Hauptman: I would not say that, not even as a joke that my wife is a bitch and I don’t like her. That is not true. My wife is a bitch and I like her so much.

Gary Laughingdog: It is 100% easier not to do things than to do them, and so much fun not to do them - especially when you were supposed to do them. In terms of instant relief, canceling plans is like heroin.

Samuel Cornick: [pointing to chest] I’ll keep all my feelings right here, and one day I’ll die.

Bran Cornick: The vibe I give off is very ‘you could spill soup in my lap and I’d probably apologize to you.

Aiden: I don’t know. I know you told me, but I have had a long day. I am very small, and I have no money. So you can imagine the kind of stress I’m under.

Jesse Hauptman: You are never too young to learn our national no snitching policy.

Zee Adelbertsmiter: I’m sorry about last night. It’s just that I’m mean and loud. It will probably happen again.

Tad Adelbertsmiter: I don’t look older, I just look worse.

Darryl Zao: Shut up! You’re all gonna die.

Warren Smith: Hi, I’m new in town. And it gets worse.

Kyle Brooks: This might as well happen. Adult life is already so g-d weird.

Ben: Of all the sentences in that email I would be ashamed to have read out loud in a court of law, I think the top one is ‘See you at improv practice.’

Stefan Uccello: Hey, you want me to kill that guy for you? Because it sounds like he sucks, and I will totally kill that guy for you.

Coyote: And I said, “No.” You know, like a liar.
