Flash Friday: NaNo Style

Hello readers,

I have a somewhat a new segment for you as you can tell by the title. Let's get to it!

Day 13: "I love walking around campus at night. You get to see the moon and stars. Only the street lamps light the path. It's beautiful. I may trying writing sometime in this place. For now the poem will have to do."

"We are not sheep here. No one herds us and we don't follow anyone. Yet I must say we have a few black sheep among us. It's awkward."

"An eye of a tiger is something I try to capture in words like I once tried in drawing."

"Sometimes you got to love yourself a little more to get the energy you need to keep going."

Day 15: "It just really pisses me off that my existence is not that important to be listened to and peacefully said hello to."

"I think her heart got the rest of her body sick because of missing me."

Day 21: "The moon shimmered on the clouds, on the water at the beach along with the colors of the sky during sunrise and sunset. All next to the stars."

Thank you and love,

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...
