So what I am trying to do is to wrap my text around a heart path

This is what i have so far. I want to get "Kill of the night" in the bottom left-quadrant. I don't know how to this. Please help and thank you

Using the paths created by the Text along Path. Make a selection from those paths and fill it with the color of your choice.

Note:
Be sure that the path you create for your text to follow, starts where you want the text to begin, and ends where you want the text to stop.
Also, the path needs to be long enough for the text to fix. If the path is short, the paths will not be correctly created by Text along path. A longer path for the text to follow will have to be made to replace the short one.

Things can be a bit simpler with this script.

I would just duplicate the heart path and delete some nodes keeping only the nodes (length of the path) you need to follow. Now just delete the whole heart path and use (right click text layer), text to path on the heart path copy. But how do you want the text aligned? Curving with the path like the other text or vertical?

Ofnuts script works best for either.
