Aug IWSG

Hello readers,

Today I'm insecure. My crowdfunding was a fail. I'm glad I have a backup plan, I hope it works. Today I'm insecure. I have barely done any writing or editing for almost more than a month.

But today I'm secure. I baked cookies. I finished a blessed month and hope the hype continues afterward so that I can stay good and blessed. 

Love,

The writing will return when it's ready, I truly believe that xx Baking cookies is always a good thing :) Don't eat too many though as that'll also make you feel bad.

I was feeling the same way a couple weeks back. Just know the pendulum will swing the other way and things will be looking up again soon.

Thank you for your kind comments on my blog and I hope things are getting better for you :)

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...
