A to Z: X is for Xercise


Hello readers! Here are a couple poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and may or may not start with the letter X:

Mechanical

Today everything is mechanical
where it is technology
or us working and walking blindly.

World Xercise

In the world we live today
you need to push yourself
push yourself to exercise your body

And also in today's world
you need to push yourself
push yourself to exercise your mind

In the world we live in
we do mindless things,
but we're not here to do that
we're here to make a world a better place
and we have to start by making ourselves better.

I think a lot of folks forget to exercise their mind as well as their body. Well done.

Goodness, I think I'm always pushing, pushing, pushing. I need about a month of resting, resting, resting--especially after this wonderful blog hop. ;)

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...

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
