Hey! Care to swap? If so, please read Paper Hearts. In return, I'll read anything of yours. Thanks.

Have you ever felt like a fish out of water? That sometimes, you just can't say what you want?
As writers, we try our best to get those stubborn words out and onto paper, especially the ones we can't say out loud. But sometimes, it doesn't always work. In my poem, "Fish On Legs," I convey my sense of failure, something I'm sure we can all relate to from time to time.
This contest ends on the 15th, so any comments/hearts/feedback would be much appreciated.
And in return, let me know what you would like me to read. I just ask that it's not terribly long, to be fair. Comment on my profile, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hey! My friend Ali Hart posted a new story, and she would love some feedback. She hasn't been very active on Figment lately, and she'd really love if you could read/heart her story. It's called A Casual Explosion, and here's the link: http://figment.com/books/481978-A-Casual-Explosion If you want to swap, please reply on my wall, as she doesn't always check hers. :) Thanks, and I'm really sorry if she or I have already asked you or if you don’t like swaps!

Hi, I am entered into a heart based contest so it would mean the world to me if you would read my story It's Not Okay and heart it if you like it. If you don't do free reads then I am open to swapping. If you have already received this or don't do swaps I sincerely apologize for bothering you.
