What's Up Wednesday

Hello readers,

I'm finally doing another WUW!! And I have a surprise at the end (:

What I'm Reading

Unfortunately, nothing. But I may have an ARC of 'Ultraviolet Catastrophe' by Jamie Grey in my hands later today!

What I'm Writing

I'm revising a WIP. And getting back to my journal.

What Inspires Me Right Now

All these contests that are about to start and all the books that are being released.

What Else I've Been Up To

Remember how I tried a hand at crowdfunding and it failed? Well I have a back up plan, even though it's minimal.

Next week I will be revealing the release date for my poetry collection. I hope you are all excited because I am!! Also I will have an official call for those who want to help. Get ready and thank you!!

Love,

Congratulations on having your poetry published! And good luck with your WIP and journalling. I've been trying for awhile now to get back into my once-daily habit of journalling. I kept a regular journal for 20 years, and feel bad that I haven't really kept it up over the last few years.

I need to get on NetGalley or something where I can get my hands on some ARCs to read. I feel like I'm missing out on some good reads (and free books!). I hope you enjoy the one you're expecting.

Have a great week, Fida--and all the best with the book release! :D

Contests! They definitely take work and cause much affliction! Well, maybe not affliction so much as low grade strife :)

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you.
