#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 3

Hello Poetteers,

I have a story for you:


One day, I was WRITING with PARK. Out of the blue, a CAT came out of nowhere! It was so FAT, SLOW and ORANGE. At first, we were afraid, we were petrified, but we RAN. We hopped on CAR to make our getaway.

As we escaped, we turned up the radio because UNWRITTEN came on and made me HAPPY. Everything was extremely smooth sailing until a DOG appeared in the middle of the road. We swerved to avoid it, but while PARK stayed on CAR, I got thrown onto my side in the woods.

I couldn't get up, and felt SORE as I lay there staring up at the trees. What was I going to do? I heard a RUSTLE among the leaves, and felt SCARED. Surely, this was going to be my end. As my eyes fluttered shut, the last thing I saw was a head of BLOND hair and BLUE eyes.

When I woke up again, I was on a BED. My body hurt a whole lot less, and I could sit up. There was a ROOMMATE and NURSE in the room, along with SANDWICHES and WATER. The door suddenly opened to reveal LEVI, a concerned look on his face. I blushed and averted my gaze, but he SMILED and said, "Don't be shy. It's okay."

He came over to sit by me, and we started talking after I told him my name. We chatted about WRITING, COOKING and DANCING and realized we had a ton in common! I thought he was CUTE and couldn't help feeling a little swoony.

Just as he reached out for my hand, the door crashed open and in came MAJID. "Don't let him charm you away, my love!" He yelled, running at LEVI. They each had KITCHENWARE in their hands and began to fight. "Stop!", I yelled, feeling so TORN. They didn't listen to me. Before I could intervene, LEVI fell to the floor and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"What was that?" I asked, staring at the empty space. MAJID dropped his weapon, and came over to me. "Magic, but you are safe now, HABIBTI." He hugged me close, and I suddenly knew that this was the real deal and not just a dream.

Just as I DO ADORE started playing in my head, I woke up. I cursed my DREAMY luck. Why had it only been just a dream?

***be sure to leave a comment on what books these book boyfriends are from. And which artists these songs are from. I hope you enjoyed it!

Love and thank you, Fida

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...
