Snippets from Books I'll Most Likely Never Write

Image
                              I have this horrible habit…            I get these tiny inspiration moments and I think up little scenes and snippets that are so beautiful and perfect (in my mind, anyway), the problem with this? Well, I haven't thought up a book to go with these snippets, I haven't even thought of a plot.           Honestly, I probably could fill a whole book with random snippets from my head and notebooks! But here are just a few of them, because, why not? Maybe it will inspire one of y’all!          “But why? Why does she do so much for me, even though we've never met?” she asked, staring at the elderly gentleman.         “Someone once told me that the saddest...

I Lied-a poem from the heart of 12 year old me

Image
           Last week I was going through a flash drive of mine and reading old files, when I found a number of poems I had written when I was twelve. Half of them were poorly composed fluff, but one of them stuck out to me… After some thought I decided I was going to publish that poem on here, I cut it up and rearranged it a bit, because it was very long and a bit repetitive, but other than that I changed nothing. Here is a poem from the heart of twelve year old Gray: I Lied Fears, they come in the form of tears. Salt water leaking out of my heart, and into your hands. Why was I ever so stupid enough to let you in? To let you see so deep within my heart? Why did I ever trust you when I was so blue? I just can't touch the way I feel about you inside. I've always been one to hide. So I lied. I told you I felt nothing. But all I ever really do is hide behind that mask I always wear, I have chosen to live in fear. You asked me to take my ma...

Rebellious Writing Blog Tour

Image
        I've never done a blog tour of any kind on here before.... this should be interesting.         If you haven't heard of Rebellious Writing yet, then you must be new to this blog! And if so, welcome!         I would explain Rebellious Writing to you, but that's the purpose of this tour, so let's get into it! We believe In light  In truth In goodness We believe in tomorrow's generation In creating a better world Through words Through books We believe in fighting for what we believe We believe in high expectations That we are capable of anything we set our minds to We the youth... Believe in Rebellion Rebellion for Righteousness For light For verity in a world of lies For beauty in a world of darkness    *sighs* So beautiful.      I'm also suppose to credit the founder of this... so... hi *waves*. But don't be fooled, I didn't do half of this,...

The Rebellious Writing Youtube Channel // RW review

Image
     It's here. Thanks to the amazing Catherine who worked on this all night and into the morning (a round of applause for her, please. She's awesome).      Here's the first video on our Rebellious Writing YouTube channel...       Please go like and subscribe to us, it would mean a lot, and also help this video get out there! If you can't access the channel using the video up there, click on the link HERE .       After watching this video, I realized that I will no longer be posting any Rebellious Writing discussion posts on here once the actual website opens, instead I'll be working on that over there. Which made me think, wait, how many discussion posts have I posted?? So here's a quick review:      The post that started it all:   Dear Writers, (Warning: this is a rant).       The post that officially kicked it...

Top Six of L.M. Montgomery's Lesser Known Works That You Need to Read

Image
                Hey, guys! As y'all can tell, my hiatus was short lived, but at the time internet was acting up a lot, and I didn't want to disappear with no warning. And luckily it's back, and hopefully there'll be no more problems... hopefully. Anyways, I'd thought it would be cool to do some sort of "top ten" thing today, since I've never done one before... so yeah! Here we go!!!!       Lucy Maud Montgomery, better know as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best know for her book series Anne of Green Gables that she published in 1908.        Anne of Green Gables was a huge success, gaining Lucy an international fame.         Many claim to be fans of L.M. Montgomery to this day, but very few have read all of her not as well known works, because after Anne of Green Gables, she went on to publish ...

A Brief Hiatus...

Ugh. I hate that last word up there! ^ But I don't really have a choice, internet isn't really working here right now, it took me about fifteen to get onto blogger… *glares at the internet server* Also, I'm kind of busy this summer, so it's probably just wise to take off completely. I plan on coming back next month, hopefully internet will be working again by then! BUT don't worry, I have a lot of good posts in mind, that hopefully I'll be working on during this unfortunate break! So, I'm sorry if I don't comment on y'all's blogs or answer anyone who comments on mine, I'll try, but it's iffy. Until next month! :( -Gray Marie

Thank You!

          *Looks up and realizes that on the thirteenth of this month I will have been blogging for seven months* That's right, y'all! SEVEN WHOLE MONTHS!!! (Which, I think is pretty amazing…) Some of you have been with me since my first few posts, some of you stumbled upon me a bit more recently. But either way, we're here! Just five more months until it's been a year!!!           Today I went alllllllllllll the way back to my very first post. And I cringed, and laughed at my awkward entrance. I will not link it here, it's far to awful, if you want to see it, you're going to have to go back, and then you can laugh at me. But to give y'all a clue on how cringe-worthy it is, I started the post with this: Hi. My name is Gray Marie Cox.          *cringes* I know, I know. One can literally imagine me swaying on the balls of my feet, with my arms clasped uncom...

The Return of My Muse

Image
         Happy fourth of July! I hope y'all have celebrating freedom and honor those who sacrificed so much to bring us this freedom today with your family and friends. America is a land where we are truly free, and it wouldn't be that way without our brave troops then and now. I decided I needed to put that here, it is a very important holiday after all. It's pouring buckets here right now, but there's always hope it will stop in time... but by the looks of it, no. I texted one of my friends who lives in town to see if it was raining as much as it is here, and here's our down heartening conversation:            But as  Ivie so very wisely pointed out, today is a day celebrating independence, so that's all that really matters, not fireworks or grilled meat!       Recently, I have been very busy, and in fact, I still am. But my muse has finally returned from its long ...
