A to Z: H is for Hunt... and an Award

Here is a poem inspired by poetic asides:

Hunt for Decisions

At any age
you'll have things to go after
and things coming to you
you have to choose
to do what is right for you
or right for others
(maybe wrong for you).

If you're still here, yesterday D. VonThaer awarded me with an award. I'm just going to make this simple and only answer the 11 questions. If you look around my blog you'll quickly find 11 facts about me. I'll only tag a few people: Zara, Megan, Sania, Sarah.

1. Where would you like to travel? Everywhere! But right now I just want to go back to Malaysia.
2. If you were a superhero what would your superpower be? I kind of have the superpower of a psychic.
3. What was your first car? N/A. But I could say Honda, since I'm practicing in one.
4. Who is your favorite author? I have no idea, I'm a bookworm!
5. Do you prefer cold weather or warm weather? In between.
6. When was the last time you built a snowman? Back in middle school.
7. Who is your favorite actor or actress? I don't have one.
8. At what age did you start writing or drawing? I remember writing a poem when I was a toddler, but didn't seriously start until 7th grade.
9. What do you enjoy most about your art? Everything, I get to express who I am.
10. Who would you like to see in concert? I have no idea.
11. Do you know anyone you would take a bullet for? My family.

I don't know what I'm doing for I. For fun, I might do my last name. And thanks, Sania!

Great poem. It's so true that you have to hunt after what's right for you.

Sometimes, I just let the course of life meet me. I hunted for myself for years. When I stopped hunting, what I've searched for found me. :-)

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...
