Monday Blessings #30

Hello readers,
Monday Blessings

A holiday
once it's celebrated, shows
how much belief one has, whether
good or bad, strong or weak.

What you believe
if you say it enough
show it enough
others will finally come to respect it.

Sunrise, sunset
night sky and twilight
you breathe in and breathe out
thankful for another day.

OctPoWriMo

They always tell you to conform to their style
and another group says you have to conform to their style
but you are in a different world than either of them
your beliefs don't match theirs
they tell you are imperfect
that you won't do well

But you know
those who love and support you know
you are imperfectly perfect
don't you ever change
don't let them get to you
don't ever feel
like your less than perfect.

Love, 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...

Hello readers, What I'm Reading CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! The first book was already great but this second book kicked it up a notch with the OMG! moments. What I'm Writing : I'm keeping on with NaNoWriMo at 28k! In between I'm switching back and forth between two stories: Reading Deciding Hijab after a long break.

If you have read it or is planning to read it I would love to see your review on goodreads ! Poetry Prompt : Write about the feeling reading gives you. a Rafflecopter giveaway Love, Fida # Poetteers
