a. little. less. important.


Every day...

She feels little, less important, unworthy, truly worth less than she should.

Her intention questioned, her loyalty untrusted, her support unnoticed, her truths unbelieved.

              Tired, regretful, unstable, she walks the thin line between sane and …... not so much.

 She's reminded of every mistake she's ever made, so unforgiven, no matter the indiscretion...


How can you harbor that much anger, how can you see through that haze?

What is it like to be so full of hate?

                                                    Threats made, same story, selfish demands, unwavering pride.

You wonder where she is, that woman you knew before..... chased out the door.... sent away.

                                            Took for granted, unappreciated, chastised, hated.....................

                                                                                                                                   Ate up. Gone.

Sometimes -- rarely -- there is a glimpse of her............................................................

                                            You apologize -- appreciate -- confess adoration.........................

She peeks over her wall, trying to see the one she loves -- he’s there -- if only for a moment.....

                                                                                                                                 Only a moment.
                                                                                                                                (she misses him)

Gone though... no matter how hard she’s tried -- she can’t come back

                                                                                            -- from that place she’s built for herself.

Every day -- a. little. less. important.

I have *the* best job ever...

Seriously, I really do. I get to read manuscripts in the rough, I get to experience fresh and exciting talent and ideas *and* I get to help mold those fresh talents and ideas into a polished, finished product. I had forgotten how thrilling it was to be a part of that process, my current job is doing a fantastic job of reminding me of that on a regular basis. 


The author that I am currently working with is a lot of fun -- she has great ideas, characters with depth, intelligent story lines and progression, and she did a pretty phenomenal job of keeping everything in order (continuity) -- she has made my job easy, to say the very least. I really cannot say enough great things about her. As soon as I am finished with the entire series, I will be sure to fill everyone in on the *who*  that I am currently working with and the *what* I am currently working on, until then -- everyone will just have to be satisfied that I am doing my best to keep updating my blog on a regular basis. 


Until next time - M
