what I’m going to try to do starting in January

So I’m trying to publish a book in 2013, but since I am a nobody and I have never marketed anything before, let alone myself, starting in January I’m going to start a couple of things over the internet (that I still don’t fully understand like pintrest and like maybe a blogspot or something, shit I don’t know) but on these things I’m going to try to post a poem/short story/ story excerpt a day so that I can maybe get people even slightly interested in my writing. if anyone has any self platforming advice they think would be helpful I’m open to suggestions, also if you ever see a poem or anything that you like by me please reblog and let people know. My first books release date is September 13th 2013 and hopefully I can have something of a following or fan base by that time. I may also obnoxiously post chapters out of fanfiction I have written.

Consume

Hope, where have you gone

You left my shadow

Long ago

Before spring buds were

Frozen to be devoured

By this hunger

Eats away

Dark water chokes

My dry

Bones

Follows me wherever

My footsteps lead

A path I do not see

Every turn is a wrong one

Filled with thistles

Brambles

Thorns, tricking

I wander on

And as the moon

Rises the darkness

Consumes
