What's Up Wednesday

Hello Poetteers,



What I'm Reading:

I haven't picked up any books I've mentioned last week. To my pile I've bought SCARLET and LOVE THAT DOG. I've read LOVE THAT DOG and I loved it. I'm also in the middle of reading part two of LITTLE WOMEN.

What I'm Writing:

I'm back to DH but not the same story. I'm extending it to have some companion novels. So far I have 3,000 words.

What Else I've Been Up To:

I have a new newsletter coming out today at 12 pm est! Sign up if you haven't already. There will be some sweet deals and exclusive content.

What Inspires Me Right Now:

Stories. Writing them and reading them. My cats.

love, Fida

Yes, 3000 words is amazing! More than I can say for myself.

I am not really a cat person, but I do have 3 dogs. And if I ever found a lost, stray kitten who needed a home, I would take it over to my house as a pet #4!

What kind of cats do you have? We are thinking about getting a couple kittens this summer - bengal kittens because my daughter has allergies and they are supposed to be good for that. I still haven't fully decided but I'd really love to have cats again. I just don't know how my dog will take it! Have a great week!

Scarlet is a great book! And I always love Little Women, although I haven't read it in a few years.

Stories definitely inspire me too. And I have always loved LITTLE WOMEN. My mom used to read that to me and my sister, so it's kind of special to all of us. Have a great week!

Stories are definitely some of the most inspiring things! When I get stuck, I read or I write a prompt. It always gets the writing flowing again.

Happy reading and writing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines

LITTLE WOMEN is one of my all time favourite novels. My mom first read it to me when I was six years old, so it's kind of sentimental for me. I hope you're enjoying it! :)

Congratulations on the 3000 mark, Fida! How exciting! And you know, cats can be surprisingly inspiring, especially when they get all crazy and hyperactive. I usually steal the energy from my cat to keep me writing, haha :) Have a wonderful week!

I've never read Little Women but it's a book I have on the bucket list. I've seen the adaptation and loved the story. It'll be interesting to see what the actual novel is like. :)

Congrats on 3000. I'm slogging through my WIP too. I have the ending done already which is bit weird but anyway.
P.S. I have been quietly reading your stories on wattpad. They are awesome

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. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! 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...

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...
