    'What You Don't Know'

    I want you to watch me bleed out
    Can you feel it?
    The truth that debunks all of this doubt
    Please reveal it
    Before these eyes
    Close one final time
    And no longer listen to you pout
    This breath, steal it

    You don’t know what you don’t know
    You don’t know what
    You don’t know what you don’t know
    You don’t know everything

    Pain
    Is a constant reminder that i
    Am still alive
    Bane
    And bliss, both equal parts of this
    Relationship

    I want you to salt all these wounds
    Can you feel it?
    Reopen my scars and start anew
    Don’t conceal it
    Until the skin
    Becomes paper thin
    This message is clear, be not confused
    This veil, peel it

    You don’t know what you don’t know
    You don’t know what
    You don’t know what you don’t know
    You don’t know anything

    I loved you then, I love you still
    I’ll love again, I know you will
    I loved you then, I love you still
    I’ll love again, I know you will
    I loved unconditionally
    And then untraditionally
    At the last, unforgivably
    Here and now, ready for the kill
    Waiting, lying, still
    Wanting, trying, willed
    Here, gone, killed.

    Wrote this last night. Calling it W.Y.W.O.

    Coded in soft language; covered in blue,
    Singing about her is across the sea.
    Won’t you come and remember the rushed plea
    of two planes headed for what could be true?

    The chasm of my chest welcomes song to it,
    but they sink in love like lust: sick and red.
    Means shit when this is where it has lead.
    Another meeting lost from where I sit.

    Ten to finish; sixty for them all, love,
    fantasy lost in certainty tonight.
    Pouring out the bottle; get drunk on light,
    Kissing the floor; If the hand fits the glove

    Just straight up asked for a number/email to contact someone to talk about it. Said I was interested in doing an event and this was their response:

    They said they'd order the books to the store so not to worry about that? From what I've been told it definitely varies from store to store. Doesn't hurt to ask!

    One of my best friends is an indie author. Her brother is a computer/app coder. Together they developed this app for formatting your books:



    I did a bunch of beta testing and it’s super easy to use. But I know we’ve got a few indies in here and figured I’d share.

    super interesting! I'll give it a look so I don't have to bother @OwainGlyndwr again for formatting lol

    Aw man I was looking forward to adding in a bunch of extra commas when you weren’t looking.

  10. This looks awesome. With your insider knowledge, do you know if there might be a Mac version in the works? :eyes:

    At the moment, they’re kinda ceding Mac to Vellum because most Mac users seem to love Vellum. Most PC users seem to hate Atticus, which is the closest thing to Vellum currently. But I’m sure if they can get it going, they wouldn’t be opposed.

    They’re launching with ebooks, then doing print. After that, maybe they’d launch Mac? I’ll talk to her about it.



    related: for those on PC, you can get a free copy if you agree to help them beta test some things. So @theagentcoma @OwainGlyndwr etc I can connect you with her if you’re interested.

    Would absolutely love to, but I'm on Mac. Hoping everything goes well though, it seems like a great product.
