Titles on Tuesday

Hello readers,

It's the first of February, so let's start this month with something cool. That's how the U.S. is feeling: bitter cold and icy. We can stay warm with love and laughs!

Yesterday, resource class made my day. So I had a good last day of January. Why? I'm still working on that memoir I mentioned earlier. I got my resource teacher to read it. Later I offered her to help me with the title. She got the whole class involved. Here are some of the titles they came up with:

Hijabs R Us
Cover Girl
Covered but Not Forgotten
The Great Cover Up
The Oppression of the Unoppressed

Comment: What do you think? Is there anything else you can think of?

I absolutely adore "The Great Cover up", BUT for that piece had such a sweet/ soft rhythm and tone for it, I would go with "Cover Girl".

If you were writing an article blasting away @ the people who call hijab oppression,then I would say "The Great Cover up".

Keep it up, though. You've got talent, ma'shaAllah!

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...
