To Do List

Hello readers,


November is coming up soon and there are a couple challenges I'll be participating in.

1. The November PAD Chapbook Challenge is coming up and all about the fun and poeming! To find out more, go to Poetic Asides.

2. Also, November is National Novel Writing Month, so I'll be doing that too :D If you haven't yet, check out NaNoWriMo.

So insha'Allah (if god willing) a poem will be posted every day and my novel word count and maybe even a sneak peak ;)

Stay inspired,
Fida

You're doing NaNoWriMo, that's excellent! I'm not sure if I am or not yet. I'm currently outlining a new novel but if I finish outlining early I might not be able to resist the urge to start writing it! I'll have to stop by for those daily poems.

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
