"I can’t change the fact that there were people who came into his life before there was a me...."
I can’t change the fact that there were people who came into his life before there was a me. Before there was an us, there had been a him and another. Just as there had been another there for me before him. We had lived life a thousand times over before we started living it together.
I gave him all of me: my past, present, and future and I ask of him the same. I cannot erase what came before me — what came before him. But I don’t dwell and don’t relive. Murky memories flicker to mind, only to die off in the furthest recess of my mind. And as familiar strangers from past lives invade, I pay them no heed in the slightest, for they are not for me any more.
It’s true that I can’t make him love me the way I love him. I can’t change the course of life, nor the path he has already treaded alone. I can never alter these things that make him the man I fell in love with, the man he is today. I will never sway him, beg him, make him stay.
With him, I am powerless. With him, I am vulnerable. I am in love with him.

When my only words are metaphors...
What do you do when all the puzzle pieces fit together, but the picture isn’t the one on the box?
I didn’t know the answer to that. Because this question held more weight than it was coming off as. The question wasn’t asking how I’d act. Would I yell, cry, break it up, laugh….? This self-addressed question was asking me: “What now? How do you fix this?”
I stared at my puzzle for a long time and thought about it. I had many options.
1) I could return the product, demand compensation, and fume…
2) I could learn to love the puzzle, though it features a picture of something that scares me….
3) I could accept it, and try to work it over, to make the art what it should have been….
While the answer was clearly #3, I still could bring myself to want to start. I was still upset and wasn’t sure if I was calm enough to conquer the fear and confront it with my own paint.
And then…. there’s a twist, I realize…. the puzzle may have just been mixed up. Boxes got switched all the time while moving things around… perhaps I wasn’t duked, but let my mind wander and get the best of me.
And while I wanted to believe this and take victory in it, there it is…. the cold hard realization that I can’t recall having had the impostor puzzle to begin with. So now, I am stuck again. Only, if I confront my fear of the picture…. I’m afraid it will never be as it were ever again.
So…. where do I go from here?

Why should "I" matter?
With the thousands upon thousands of authors out there, I often find myself questioning: Why should I matter? What makes ME so much more special than the rest of the Indie and agent-ed authors out there? The answer: I’m not.
That sad fact shook me more than once, and I ended up with a bad case of Writer’s Depression. I hated everything I wrote. I was depressed that my book hadn’t sold any copies. I checked and re-checked my blog and author page stats and Amazon ranking…. I wallowed in my self-pity for a long time. I thought, "I’m going to be a nobody forever." and, "No one will ever read my words.", and then "I’ll never be good enough."
But, then, I stopped thinking about it. I had the time off that I more than needed and my writing woes dissipated into the back of my mind. Then, I got to thinking. Maybe I won’t ever be heard, and maybe I don’t matter. But, perhaps, I have something special of my own to offer.
Unlike most other YA authors, I’m young and still act it. I have a better connection with teens, because it wasn’t too long ago that I WAS a teen. And I’m still dealing with things that teens go through. For instance, I was a teen mom. I got a lot of heat for it from school staff and other students. It was a tough time that I still deal with to this day. I am not the same age as other parents, and people still make comments or give dirty looks.
Other than being as close to a teen as you can get, while still having an adult career in publishing books, I have a history. Everyone does. Most of my toughest times were between 12-16. I understand sex, drugs, sneaking alcohol from parents, living in a roach infested house on welfare, divorce, verbal and physical abuse, molestation, moving EVERYWHERE, lies, secrets, cutting, stealing, cheating…. you name it, I probably did it.
Obviously, my younger self makes for a HORRIBLE role-model and most of the time, I’m embarrassed to even mention the things I’ve done in the past. But those rocky times, are the reasons I write. And I’m not ashamed anymore to admit that I have been there and done that. Because someone out there is doing the same thing I did — meaning, I’m not the only one. And maybe, they are just as lost as I was.
So maybe I’m not as culturally diverse as Cassandra Clare, as established as Holly Black, or as cool as Lauren DeStefano…. but maybe, just maybe, someone, somewhere out there, will see the value in me and my words….. maybe someday.

There seemed to be a long moment when there was nothing. Much like a heavy, dreamless sleep. But instead of a stretch of endless blackness, there was an expanse of never-ending warmth. It couldn’t be pegged by a color, this state of nothingness. No name would suffice for it. It was just – warm.
And this is how Harmon awoke.
