Beta Readers
Hi everyone, I have a question that’s been haunting me for the past few days. Has anyone here tried sending a manuscript to Beta readers? What are the pros and cons? And how can I find readers I can trust? Please feel free to share your experience in the comments below. I have a finished…
The Nightmare
Ever since this nightmare ended I’ve invited you to sit in my heart again.©ZeinaA.G
White Feather
I promised to get out of the house yesterday, to connect with nature. Suddenly 20 years since we last celebrated my godmother’s birthday together seemed heavy. It’s a loss I know nobody can fully understand and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemies. Grief can still choke you, even while staring at a beautiful…
Speaking Out
This was the moment she’d been waiting for. Her anger rose to her chest but it didn’t choke her this time. The words that came out of her mouth were tough but she never lost her composure. She knew exactly what she was saying. Her heartbreak made sense and suddenly her feelings were validated. She…
Apologies
It took one email to take that friend back. Apologies were made and she wanted to believe it was sincere. She put the past abandonment behind wanting to believe that her friend had a change of heart. She wanted to believe that they were meant to be as close as sisters. However, there would come…

Some Friendships
Some friendships have taught me that you can’t build walls around yourself and then expect others to figure out what you’re going through. Communication is the keyword. If you can’t find it in your heart to be honest with your friends then you have a lot of things to figure out. Your real friends often…
A Thousand Bits
There was this incredible quality about her that made her unique. One minute she could be weeping while feeling shattered into a thousand bits and pieces. Then the next minute she would wipe away the tears, stand tall while gathering herself and keep moving forward. ©Zeina A.G
