What's up Wednesday

Hello readers,

What I'm Reading? I'm about to read my first book of 2014. STOLEN by Lucy Christopher.

What I'm Writing? I'm working on a new MS. So far mostly about travel/nature girl.

What Inspires Me Right Now? The winter camp I just went to, my Monday post highlights it.

What Else I've Been Up To? HER OLIVES has a cover reveal hopefully next week and book release in hopefully a month.

And here's a little IWSG: I have the cover ready. But I need some quick editing and someone to help format the interior. I feel like I might have to postpone the release date.

Love and thank you, Fida

Sometimes we have to push dates back. It's the only way to make our books the best they can be. Good luck.

I agree with Patricia. You will only regret it if you publish something that is not as good as you know it could be merely to make a deadline. I hope to see you at tonight's #StoryDam chat! :)

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. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
