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.

A YEAR-LONG DAY (one-sided slowburn with a twist)
"Dear diary, To my surprise, today we talked a lot. It's been a while since we've chatted like that. He's been very cold to me lately, constantly ignoring me. But during the second lesson he suddenly said that he would recognize my handwriting among all others. Could it be that there are indeed some hidden feelings behind his rude behavior? Can my unrequited love grow into a mutual one? There's still time until our graduation... And, in the meantime, after school my boyfriend had a surprise waiting for me again. He is so romantic. How am I supposed to tell him that I am still in love with my classmate? "A living dog is better than a dead lion". So what should I do if I want to keep the dog by my feet while trying to resurrect the lion?" This book is my personal treasure because it is written based on my genuine school diary. During the last year of high school, I fought for my one-sided love while dating a cool guy, and, had an English teacher fall in love with me all at the same time. This diary sheds light on common Russian school life. Love, drama, adventure, shame, inner growth, depression and much more awaits inside".Complete

Six Letter Word [Kaylor]
I don't think it's exactly news to anyone that I keep journals. Pages out of some of my old ones adorn the walls at the Grammy Museum. What might surprise some people is that I usually have more than one at a time. One for song lyrics, one for what's going on in my life. What follows is an edited version of the one I kept in 2016 and the first part of 2017. Some things are still too private, too personal. Some you'll have to hear in songs. I never thought I'd write a memoir so young. At 27 I'd like to think I have a lot of life yet to experience. But after countless questions, I realized I'd rather put it all out there, for you to read on your own, rather than let the media interpret what I have to say. I've had enough of people twisting my words to last a lifetime.Complete![Her Dauntless [2] //Divergent// Eric Coulter](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/218877467-256-k427541.jpg)

Infinite Love: A Diary of Remembrance
Content warning: There are sections of writing in this book which contain references to suicidal ideation, self-harm, hallucinations and delusions both psychotic and neurotic. The writing within this book is the direct writing from my day-to-day diary that had been kept from 6 January, 2020 until May 24, 2020. Serendipitously, I was in the middle of a great struggle when I first began writing in it, and it eventually became too much to bear. There was inevitably a so-called awakening, which gave me the very simple knowing of who I am (and who you are) and which allowed me to deepen within myself through this knowing. It was a stillness that was such an obvious thing in my existence that it had always been subconsciously overlooked as unimportant. It isn't satisfying to the mind to just be, but it is infinitely satisfying to the being to just be. Nothing is missing and nothing needs to be found. This is the simplicity of the still, non-phenomenal being which is in fact yourself and myself, as one Self. This book is something which came out of that stillness, and held within it is an attempt to point towards whatever this is that I have discovered as myself. I do hope that you find it somewhat enjoyable and perhaps learn a thing or two about yourself. Thank you.Complete
The Story of My Abusive Ex Partner and Me
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 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Complete
Cap'n iZak Löw and His First Mate Zeni Corvera in the Reflective Auto Geneses
This is the Prequel to an epic novel series we are working on, lyrics and poem and psalms explaining the psychology bewixt the Mystic Artist and my Muse and Bride, Two Spirits who walk the Veil Between Worlds. Here we do our best to use world religions, history, ancient mysticism, our own poetry and "Wordsmything" and divining, astrology, psychological and neurological journey to discovering our sharing one body, and the beginning of our mind's organic introspective geneses of mythologies and prophecies surrounding both our inner microcosm, the Mirrored Cosmos, and the outer macrocosm, the Unreflected Cosmos-anchoring it to our own spiritual beliefs as Ashkenazi Kabbalist and Spanish Catholic Mystic. Zeniyah was murdered five miles west of my home at five years old when I was only one. Our mothers were the same age, same look and build, both alone for long periods of time, and fate had it that I survived instead of the girl who grew up alongside me as my guardian and wife. Obviously, our names are not the same as our past incarnations before we were reborn and married unto each other, both to protect our families and to underline the fact that since uniting as one flesh, we are not the same as we once were. Now, we recognise our beliefs are diverse and likely controversial to the wider world, which is why we wanted to publish them here first. We anchored ourselves to one another at the end of the Mayan Calendar, started awakening as Aquarian Ascendants when the Star of David reached its zenith in 2020, when the Age of Aquarius began. Any collaborative responses with respect and not harsh criticism are welcome, as we are trying to understand ourselves and how to approach telling our story as respectful to all beliefs as possible, to help others as much as us to grow and accept ourselves. The land where we grew up, which violent abuse is forcing us to leave, was originally Seminole land before ancestors of modern Anglo-Saxons here forced these tribes to leave as well.
My Diary
This is something that I did before and wish to do it again. Sometimes for me it's easier to type out my thoughts and have others be able to read it. Follow me in this journey of life as we all move through it. If you read it I hope that you do enjoy it.
