Split Your Heart, Not Your Tongue

It's dawn I hate going to sleep when it's daylight But we always do It's a sickness we have, Me and you Amongst other things  We can't bear to speak But the morning light is worst of all But somehow it's where we always meet,  Me and you We live through the darkness It's the source of our power The moonlight supplies our solar energy But this sickness is getting the best of me, Me and you We have much more to live for Let's stop closing our eyes towards the sun Because the darkness can't hold us forever We're growing older by the second, Me and you  

The last time I wrote anything on this blog was back in June when I shared that I started an organization called Jumping Waves . After that I got really caught up in planning my wedding (yes, I got married!), being apart of my sister's wedding and moving across the country (NYC to AZ). Now, I'm not exactly settled but I got tired of waiting. I felt the need to get back on my grind and start working towards my goals again. First off, SElleCameron.com got a new look and a new host! Crazy Little Thing Called Love is almost complete (literally like a chapter or two away from being done), My novel I wrote back in 2010, Smoke & Mirrors will get some attention from me by being reworked and released, not to mention Jumping Waves will be making some waves. These are my goals for 2017. Not to mention, I want to create a website for Wanderlust , my blog I started back in March that is dedicated to my travel affairs around the world. That will be reworked from scratch. I want to ...

 "We can't be judged. We can't be told we're not good enough because of our past. After all, we're all red on the inside."- RED (Part II of A Tragic Heart) So, a few people have been asking me about my next novel and I am happy to say that it will be coming out soon (I am shooting for this Fall!). I may have found an editor for the novel and I recently designed the cover for it (it is subject to change but more than likely it won't). RED, is a continuation of A Tragic Heart, and for those of you who read the latter should already have an idea whose story it is (I don't want to spoil it for the rest of them). While A Tragic Heart was a bit more intense, RED still tackles major issues and deals with the feeling of being "unwanted" or a "mistake". Sometimes it's hard to define who we are when the world sees us as something else and that is what the main character in RED is dealing with. Just like A Tragic Heart, there are ma...

"Living in a city of sleepless people Who all know the limits and won't go too far outside the lines Cause they're' out of their minds." "Generally the agents seem to dislike anything too violent or depressing, and stress that writers should "sell a solution, not a problem." This is a comment under a literary agency's information. A few days ago I expressed over Twitter and Facebook how I find it troubling that agents shy away from topics such as suicide, rape, and drugs because these are real issues that happen to real people. We all don't live in a fairytale land where the leading character finds love in the end and the only issue she had to deal with was bullying (not that bullying isn't a serious issue). No one wants to go there. Everyone wants to play it "safe" and not cross the line that will possibly cement them a spot in history.  Another troubling aspect about the comment above is how do they know if the auth...

"There's a battle within that I'll never win, because it's me that I'm up against, it's my heart versus common sense." Anyone who knows me knows that I get all of my inspiration from music and the artists who makes it. I like to think that I'm pretty well rounded in my choices and what I listen to, though I will admit that I lean more towards anything that has deep lyrical meaning. You may be wondering what this has to do with anything but since this is my first official blog post I just thought it would be a great idea to begin with something personal...and it doesn't get anymore personal than knowing about my longtime obsession with music. As many of you know, I'm preparing to release my first novel entitled "A Tragic Heart". I couldn't be anymore excited and nervous...mostly the latter. From time to time you guys may witness me starting a blog post with a quote (more than likely taken from a song) simply because I  don...
