In May 2013, as part of Bundaberg Writefest I attended a masterclass with Deonie Fiford, former commissioning editor at Harper Collins. This is all about what I learned about what Publishers want and how to stop getting endless rejection letters.

A Touch of Sorrow [Dazai x OC x Chuuya]
"An apology can't change the reality, but it can change one's mind about that reality." ----- A book I managed to whip up in my prolonged spring break. Enjoy! Warning: ANGST, trigger warnings, violence. Some violent scenes are quite graphic though I'm bad at writing them. If you are okay with that then buckle up for the rough ride! I don't own anything except for the story and my OCs! ----- Published: June 29th 2020. Status: CompletedComplete![Emotions [Dazai x Reader] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/253161819-256-k936965.jpg)
Emotions [Dazai x Reader] ✓
"Never play with the feelings of others because you may win the game, but the risk is that you surely lose the person for a lifetime." Love is as complicated as it gets. It can be found in the most unexpected of places and manifest before we ourselves realise it. And it seems no different when [Y/N] experiences this herself. But the complications of love are hardly ever mentioned, and when they are, those already victims of love are way too deep into it to have salvation.
