What's Up Wednesday

Hello readers and what is up?? I hope you enjoy today's post!

What I'm Reading

I just finished reading LOVE, TINK. I did a review a couple of days ago. 

What I'm Writing 

My latest WIP has a title WOULD YOU BELIEVE and I have a sample of it on wattpad. It also reached the 12k mark! It's about a strong faithed girl who is friends with two girls who don't have faith and is losing faith and what becomes of them.   

What Else I've Been Up To

My poetry collection is not just a collection waiting to be crowdfunded, I got my first supporter and lots of people spreading the word. I also found people to help me edit, format and market it, yay!! You can find an excerpt and donate at poetfida.pubslush.com

What Inspires Me Right Now

Twitter conversations and the energy within myself.

I've been finding Twitter conversations inspiring lately too. I love how supportive the writing community is. :-) Your WiP sounds fascinating. The story I'm working on also deal in faith, and really making me ponder the great beyond (if you will). Happy writing this week!

Woot, woot! I'm so glad to hear things are progressing with your poetry collection. Yay! And your stuff is up on Wattpad? I totally need to get back into that place. Set up an account about a year ago, engaged for a bit, then stepped back to finish edits on my WIP. I'll have to find you on there.

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...
