Hello Poetteers,
What I'm Reading?
I finished reading ELEVATED by Elana Johnson on Monday. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. You can check out my review.
Yesterday I finished
Learning to Swim by Annie Cosby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I started reading. It had no action, and was slow. Taking it's time to set up the story. For us to know the characters well. Then I got distracted, didn't even think of it, didn't rush back like I usually do. I picked it up again because I needed something to do.
Like I said it was just introducing the characters. But bits here and there gave some action. Not until past the halfway mark. I guess that happens in a series but this is the first series I felt that, this slow.
At halfway and after is when the relationships really started to form and give the action I wanted in a story.
I can relate to her sensitivity. I love her bravery. Her want to travel. I don't like Owen but I do love her relationship with Rory. And the mystery of the old lady that's unfolding? I love how she (Cora) finally found her way to her mom and vise versa. Then the old lady died! I want to read the next book to find out about it and more about Rory.
What I'm Writing?
I'm working on my new WIP to take my mind of the other WIP I have been revising and planning to write a sequel for. This new WIP is about two best friends taking a road-trip to find themselves. Check out my inspiration board.
What's Inspiring Me Right Now?
The heavy, no thunder rain. Spring around the corner and the sun and long days it brings. The cold days have made me exhausted. I thrive off of the warm days.
Love and thank you, Fida

Also, yay! Nice to find a fellow poetry lover! I've been getting back into writing it recently, though most of it has been twitter poetry. I tweet semi-often with the hashtag #twtpoem with Lydia and April when we do Twitter poetry with shared prompts. Anyone is welcome to join! And of course, you can use the hashtag whenever you want too.
