I just wrote a vampire book with dark erotic undertones called Blood Ties. It is a vampire revenge story that turns into a love story. I was told I did a fantastic job writing it, and the emotions are there, everything is just right, now how to reach my readers.

I have submitted it to a publisher and hope it will be released soon. Now how do I go about promoting the book? Any ideas?

because you and me are real people, in a real world. We are not figments of each other's imagination. you make your own self, your own character and destiny. It is no use complaining about what you might have been, you are the things you have done and nothing more. We are all free, completely free. We can each do any damn thing we want. Which is more than most of us dare to imagine. we are not anarchist...nor immoral creatures...

i wrote a free-verse poem, like some people suggested for me to do than struggling for my poem to rhyme...

what do you think of this poem?


Life is a road we take
You start from the beginning
Not knowing where the road ends
You'll come to a road that's bumpy
The other one smooth...
You'll be confused which way t go...
No matter whta you do though,
You'll be hurt too
Take life as it goes...
Keep going ang going...
Once you've reach the end,
Ask yourself this:
Was my life worth living?

Abstractive innocence

The descending leaves of my innocence
have long since swept away
to a place where I cannot find again-
Though the branches from which they grew
have continued to stay strong
so that my heart can forever be tainted

with the blood that followed soon after.

The waters seem calm before the storm
comes beating through to chase away
the dreams I once knew-
Forced to think of time passed until the clock
stops ticking and the seed planted
will carry on to bloom

The common men who abstracted my love
sailed the same path looking for
the falling leaves that seem to be trapped-
Though the world will breath again, my soul
will never lie to anyone who takes the key
to unravel a lock that broke

with the blood that stains my very existence.

I read The Shining from all of the fuzz about it, and how everyone said it's so terrifying and scary. No such thing. I didn't feel slightly scared but had a shiver once. What's so scary about it?? What is in the end the conclusion???
