A to Z: D is for Darling


Inspired by poetic asides and a link from napowrimo, here is a couple poems that may or may not start with D:

(Don't) Hold That...

Hold that thought
let it sink it
is it really what you you want

Don't hold your thought
if you are sure about it

holding your thought or not
not only depends on the person you are with
but the situation, too.

Darling

Darling, love, habibti
many differs ways, different words
different languages
to express your love
to a family member, a friend
even a stranger

As you live, dare to love.

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.
