OLIVE JAZZ Day 4

Hello Poetteers,


We are reaching towards our last day of this poetry blogfest. Today will be Two for Thursday.

Your second to last prompt is to write about a struggle and victory or struggle vs. victory, anything like that.

You try and try
keep being put down
but finally one small thing done
more done
until something big
you keep going.

Option two is inspired by Janet Gurtler. Write about things you thought were true.

Things I thought were true
that I could know only one language
that all flowers are real
that your actual heart
looks like a heart
that everything is good

Things I thought were true
that I was confined
that I couldn't get better

Things I thought were true
that my faith
was only about physical things
that love was hard to get.


P.S. I'm adding new goal. I want to reach 15k in my WIP by the end of the week. Practically have three days left. Yet my WIP is already at 10k. That means I have to write 1k one day and 2k over the next two days. Please cheer me on #WriterRecharge!

Love and thank you, Fida

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2.

I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f
