rejection....soulful....

i am working on my second book. yup second coz i already have my first book published by fountain publishers, 'Brave Kemi,' can you imagine... it was the first coolest shortening of a name that came to me.... hope you don't mind Mrs B2B...
ANYHO , so i am working on my second book, a collection of short stories which i have changed twice coz the computer died and ate the stories so i hat to retrieve some and changed them... still searching for a title coz the first title was ...exact...now... i am still searching for something deeper....i am looking at the heart of the stories. my first rejection came then.
i wanna publish form out there, somewhere. so i sign up to this agent looking for writers to promote and l look at his work contact him...blablabla. anyway so i send him samples of my book
and i get the response after two days. i did not feel so overly turned away when i read his 'sorry, i dont promote this sort of genre but you can try someone else. thank you for keeping in touch.'
ouch!
i recalled so many writers that were bestseller authors after 40 rejections and a twinge of excitement shot through me, i was now one of them... a to-be- bestselling author!
anyway despite that hopeful thought i have been really slow about posting my work to another publishing house that is hounding me down to send in my work ASAP. and i think the first rejection really got to me.

anyho, I've been sleeping at 4am trying to patch up the stories. my only companions, tea and my top three songs,(they are all number ones in my book,) play repeat until i am done

1.Sean Kingston - Face drop
1.Shayne Ward- No, you hung up
1.Simply Red and Michael Bubble's version of - A song for you

oh ho, you need to listen to that song, soulful, melancholic, deep, meaningful(to me at least) this one version is by Donny Hathaway, it was danced to in the 1st season of 'so you think you can dance,' that's when i first fell for it after hearing its remix by Bizzybone

ladies and gentle men, i present y
to you..

a song for you
enjoy


Donny Hathaway - A Song for You

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
