So I've been submitting my entries since I found it hitrecord. And while they are giant collaborations, I'm in the last couple of days getting a lot of feedback from people recommending my writing to the curators. Specifically the book on the art of breaking up. I'm excited because it's definitely gateway to start getting published, but because it's genuine. The book itself is a mix between comedy, soul, stories, games, and all sides of the story. Told from the brokenhearted, The heart breaker, and the people stuck between.
I'm brutally honest, as a person just having gone through the stages of grief I didn't mask the ugly things I did what I did when I was angry. The emotions I felt. The things I felt and went through. One girl who started reading my submissions, and I've been sending for more than just that on my profile, found some of my work subscribed to me and let me know she was going through it too, it's only been two month for her, and it resonated because of it's truth. Loved every one of my posts. While it's a huge community of not only writers, but curators, and animators, designers... it's a place where everyone is coming together, it's really fucking great to have such real feedback not only from the community but the curators of this book itself liking my work. It could not only lead to being published, but being paid eventually.
And getting paid for freelance writing isn't as easy as you would think, or maybe it is and it's just not for me. It has helped immensely letting my head explode on here, I wasn't allowed to blog when I was was with fake cancer. This has been the best therapy. So I'm crossing my fingers while in between looking for another job I'll hate so I can pay bills, that I can add a little income doing something I love.
And if I can do that enough, I can stay home and be with the kids enough so I don't have to be away from them working nights to be able to be available to be there for Zeth on a whim at school when needed.
Someone give me a book deal.

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just
ReplyDeletesum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any points for beginner blog writers?
I'd really appreciate it.
