Which Book Is This Poem Inspired By?

-

Little girls who wake up to colorful hooked rugs placed carefully on clean cool floors will come to no harm when they lay their head on pillows at night.

Clean windows and redbirds taunting, sleeping dogs, and breakfast on chipped china but not paper. Little girls with mothers who worry will sleep soundly not know a care.

She thinks it would be a day to run away if she did not love them so, adventure awaits and will embrace her when the time is right.

She delights in fake choices like which ribbon to wear in her hair, which adventure to take within the confines they set for her.

A clean world for a treasure, at least for now.

Wow... Just Wow. I submitted a manuscript to a publishing company about a month ago and received the rejection today. Rejections are par for the course in this business, quite expected really, but they gave me specific reasons for the rejection and invited me to resubmit after changing things for the better in the manuscript. This is unheard of in the publishing world. I will be busy making the changes in the next few weeks before I start school so I can resubmit with Muse It Up publishing.

First Book Review

-
Okay. So I was a bit hesitant to do a book review because who am I do judge another writer? Well I will tell you, I am the READER. I am not comparing my writing to the reviews, I am writing about my thoughts as I read someone elses work, just an honest opinion. Stephen King's "Under The Dome" was the last book that I picked up so I figured it is the freshest in my mind. Let me tell you about me and Mr. King; when I was 12 I read The Stand... and fell in love. He was edgy and smart, he wrote real people, and ugly honest portrayals. This is how I felt then. So I read Carrie, The Night Shift, Salem's Lot, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordan, Desperation, The Green Mile, and many others.The Dark Tower Series was given to me as a gift from the man who would become my husband. I thought I was hooked for a long life of loving and reading his work. However by the time I got about half way through the Dark Tower Series I was overloaded. I could not read another word. I set the...
