Last Day of Tour & WEP

Hello readers, 

It's the last day of the A TO Z POETRY blog tour :( But we have two great stops to end the week. I have a guest post on Medeia's blog and a feature on Mindworks Publishing. 


Also today is the write...edit...publish blog hop. The theme for this month is... Moving On. 
I'm moving on
I've been stuck in writing poems
and doing nothing about it
but this year proved wrong
as I learned about self publication
prepared a poetry collection
prepared it for publication
yesterday it was published

I'm moving on
already making plans
for another poetry 
collection publication

I'm moving on
finally put an MS away
to work on a new idea
and I'll let it, make it last longer 
than any other idea
cuz I'm moving on. 

Thank you and love,

All the best for your poetry collection, Fida. How exciting. You write lovely poetry. When I have more time, I will go through your previous posts and have a good read.

Would it be possible for you to add Write...Edit...Publish into your Blog Post Title. I've come by about 3 times thinking you hadn't posted yet, then decided to open this post and comment anyway. Most of the participants may not realise this is your post.

Thank you for posting for WEP. I really appreciate it.

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...
