In Volume 4 of the Indie Musician's Diary I write about how and why music creation had to take a one year breather as I started to write the book that explains my first album, (The Change My Mind book). My planned, second album, "Abide", was put on hold as I went through therapy and I had to increasingly be involved in the care of my aging in-laws. These frustrations are part and parcel of being human and of being a musician. It is a side most people don't talk much about in a world where we are encouraged to build a brand and impress others by our successes. But I tell you like it is.  As always, The Diary was written sporadically but honestly about the ups and downs of creating faith based music. I hope my words encourage you to keep following your dreams especially in the face of problems, setbacks and others' crude reactions to you just trying to be the creative you that you were born with.All Rights Reserved

The Nightmare at Warped Tour [A Set It Off FanFic] by KatyNicole143

We all have that one dream that we desperately want to come true, don't we? I know I do, my name is Clementine Meadows or at least I've made it to be. My real name on my birth certificate is Amelia Rogers, I never particularly cared for the name my parents bestowed upon me, so I changed it in high school. But I should get back to the true point in this, description, or explanation, whichever. My dream is to be the merch girl for Sleeping With Sirens, I won't lie it mostly has to do with being close to Kellin Quinn, my one and only true love. But also to spend Warped Tour with a band I love on a tour I've felt I was meant to be on. Only I don't get exactly what I wanted. No, instead I'm stuck with some no name band, from Tampa, Florida. I mean who gives a damn about Set It Off? Who are they really? Does it matter? Of course, by the end of the tour, I'll learn they'll be more to me than I ever expected. Set It Off is a real band, as well as each of the band members, Cody Carson, Austin Kerr, Dan Clermont, Maxx Danziger, Zach Dewall, as well as their wonderful tour manager, Andrew Cramb. I would like to point out, that none of the guys are they way they are made out to be in this story, they are not jerks, actually they are the opposite, there wonderful and huge sweethearts. So I am being melodramatic for the story, as well as making the character out to see the guys how she wants to see them. There are many ways for everyone to talk to them, or listen to them.

Heaven On Earth by LGLministry101

It seems like just yesterday I was saved. Not knowing what to do next or where I should go. Little by little I had to find my way and put together the lessons I was taught from different sources to seemingly lead a holy life. My supreme happiness came from when I found Jesus. Little did I know all I had to do was dwell in his heart and he would provide me with the wisdom I need and show me the things I could only fantasize about. Things like these seemed to me too precious to keep hidden, and that's when I knew I just had to share Who He is to the whole world. Visions, testimonies, miracles and more came knocking at my door leading me into a dose of Heaven on Earth. Blue Roses for My Bride series: Book 1 NOTE I am not a writer, but I do enjoy writing. I learn as I go where writing a book is concerned. So the book has a lot of flaws, typos and words may not be in the correct order. It may be a finished book but there is still lots of work to do on it. It is a draft of my process in writing the book, so please keep in mind that things will be constantly added, taken out or changed until it becomes how the Lord wants it to be. So when you do read it, please let the Lord guide you on discernment and help you to get on the right part with him. Please keep in mind that I am not perfect and I just wanna share the love and goodness of God.

From France to America: a Journey of Strength by Mlissa534070

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

My Confessional by PolarizedBoy

Writing a memoir at only fifteen years old has taught me a lot. Giving me the time to reflect on the lessons I learned the hard way and the mistakes I've made thus far. I learned, if there is at least two sides to every story, there is at least two sides to every person. What could be a smile is a broken heart in a deeper reality. We all live in a society where nothing is as it seems, the people being more complex and astonishing than the countless novels we read. And in a world ruled by tragedies, we are the survivors. Getting through our own history, more important to us then what we read in school. We take our story one page at a time, word by word because in the end, it will all be worth it. I dedicate this memoir to the people who have been with me on my journey of self discovery, even if only in spirit. Mom- Who has made non stop sacrifices to ensure my happiness and well being. Nothing would be possible without you! Grandma- Who has inspired me and made a huge influence to the person I am now and who I'll be in the future. Callie- My own personal slave, illustrator, editor and full time best friend. You know I love you <3 Ariana Grande- My celebrity inspiration, showing me that it's ok to "love who you love, no one can judge, follow your heart and don't give up", getting me through the long and lonely nights. Be sure to buy her new album "Moonlight", hopefully to be released this year and her new fragrance "Ari" in accordance to the "Be You" campaign. Adam Young (Of Owl City)- My first artist I listened to, your songs make me think of the past and the new adventures to come. Sam Tsui- The album "Make it up" taught me to not be scared of not knowing what's going to happen next. Being young and naive Isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it brings way to new experiences, to be vulnerable and crying doesn't make you any less of a person. That we're all human and it's ok to embrace it.

--Bridges-- by infinitely_isomeric

One of the favourite lessons reading books has taught me is that you're never alone, not alteast in thoughts and words. There are others who think like you, feel like you and react like you. It's like that sometimes, our unspoken thoughts are the bridges that connect us, even though we might be miles apart. And so, I've written them down in the hope that there are many out there in this world who would be willing to walk these bridges leading to me-the real, raw and unhidden self I am- my heart and mind and soul. And I really want to walk over to your side and feel what you are like. You are the one to decide whether you want to build 'em or not... ----------------- Cover by me! None of the media used in this book belongs to me.

The Story of My Abusive Ex Partner and Me by Princess_Ali2911

Hello, I am writing this book to show how much I love my partner of two years. I want to get back into starting fresh by rebranding myself to become a woman of god. I will also be discussing my journey from unholy to godly. Christian (Woman of God) Complicated relationship with my ex partner Was a hairdressing student My likes and interests, the bible, bible study, natural hair videos, gospel music, watching sermons. My dislikes: my ex ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 and him domestically abusing me I broke up with him and he spoke very nasty things to me, I have evidence and he made me cut off people close to me like, family members, friends etc. He made me cut off my cousin, my deceased mum's nephew. I made the book for us however, I am in a legal case and we are not on good terms unfortunately because of the Domestic Violence he did to me in his house and on the streets. Please enjoy the book, It's all real life struggles, I'm dealing with at the moment. I'm not alone anymore and have no choice but to take legal action away from Wattpad against him. He gaslighted me, manipulated me, seduced me etc, I don't regret breaking up with him because I can share my story and have found my voice through Christ almighty 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Evolution by andshesmiles

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.
