Ugh, some people just make me soooooooooooo mad! I absolutely cannot stand scammers. Ugh. Ugh. UGH!! I can't even type a real word because I'm so bad. Gosh, when I found out I was real disappointed but right now all that disappointment is a whole lot of anger. Gosh!
:)
Okay so I'll explain.

About a month ago I got a letter from the poetry contest I entered. It said that my poem was going to be published I was was so excited. I thought my poem was okay, but nothing really fantastic so it was a pleasant surprise when I opened the letter. Man, I'm so mad that I can't stop typing runon sentences!
:)
Bah, okay sorry, a bit sleepy too. Today a month later after I mailed money for the book and all that junk because hey, if my poem's going to be in a book, I want that book. Boohoo, I didn't get all the details of the story though.
:)
So today, because of my English teacher I'm suppose to enter a contest or whatever. So I was looking for one when I came across a website that was talking about poetry contests that were just scams.
:)
Oh I think you know where this story is going.
:)
So I did some more research just to make sure and yup it's been confirmed by like fifty other people that the America Library of Poetry is a scam. I'm heartbroken that people would do something like this. And I thought I was finally going to have a published work...
:)
Ah, well no use crying over spilt milk right? Anyways I just can't believe people would do that. I just, now I know better than to just do something on impulse without research. It's just, I thought since the school was talking about the contest it wouldn't be a scam, you know? But I should have checked my resources.
:)
Learned from my mistakes and I think my anger has cooled down from what it was when I found out. Bah. Smile, because I can still learn from this mistake.
