Monday Blessings: Reminisce On 2012

Salaam readers!

With it being New Years soon and being snowed in, I reminisce on how 2012 went. Alhamdulillah.

Starting with the most recent, on December 19th I officially graduated high school and a week later had a small party. During November for NaNoWriMo I wrote 13,880 words. And on Nov 29, the UN recognizes Palestine as a State. On October 31st I got my driver's permit! In June my class had our graduation walk! Also in June was my birthday! Last but not least, on April 7th I took my first hike! And just a little thing, In Jan my best friend introduced me to what is now one of my fave artists, Kina Grannis. Alhamdulillah!

Other than that, two giveaways are happening. A birthday one at Heather McCorkle's blog and another at Teens Can Write, Too!

Have a happy last day of 2012 and have an even greater New Year!!

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...

What's up Wed: Blog Tour Day 3

Hello readers, What I'm Reading CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! The first book was already great but this second book kicked it up a notch with the OMG! moments. What I'm Writing : I'm keeping on with NaNoWriMo at 28k! In between I'm switching back and forth between two stories: Reading Deciding Hijab after a long break. I forgot about her short conversation about a school dance club. I didn't even put in a scene of her joining after the conversation. More revisions to come. The other story is one I have a sneak peak on Wattpad . What Else : It's day three of belated Hugs & Kisses blog tour. Earlier this month Medeia reviewed my book . If you have read it or is planning to read it I would love to see your review on goodreads ! Poetry Prompt : Write about the feeling reading gives you. a Rafflecopter giveaway Love, Fida # Poetteers
