A to Z Preview


Hello readers,

As you know April is coming up in a few days and that also means the A to Z challenge! I've heard it before and always thought of it. This year... I'm participating in it for the first time! April is also national poetry month and Poetic Asides has a poem a day challenge.

So my theme... instead of doing something for each... I'm combining them!

Alphabet poetry!

Duh! That's the first reason I have this blog.

Check out the big list to see who else is participating in 'The Big Reveal' blog hop.

So if you're still here, last week on my blog and twitter I hinted about something, today I'm sharing the details. It has to do with the challenges. I've seen people publish a book of their A to Z stuff. I want to do that! I even already created a cover! I want to publish a poetry collection, and that might just happen later this year... woohoo!!

HI Fida! I'm also doing both Poetic Asides and A to Z Challenge along with at least 2 more daily challenges. I'm going with haibun for A to Z and with Alphabet poetry for Haiku Heights.

We'll both be busy poeming in April! What a fun way to spend the free time!
You know, Alphabet Poetry sounds like a great book to release. ;)

Good theme poetry - can never read enough of that. Thanks for doing the Big Reveal

Yay for poetry! Sounds like you have a good grib on this challenge.

Creating non-fiction blog content for A to Z is challenging enough; creating poetry (or any fictional stuff) every day in April, practically, just blows my mind. Good luck with it! :-)
Very ingenious! Combining challenges makes it cost effective! good on you!

Good luck, Fida!

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f

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
