OctPoWriMo Day 24

Hello readers,

There is no such thing as guilty pleasures
they are simply pleasures
you shouldn't hide
what you love

Everyone has their own fashion sense
has their signature dance move.

If you do hide it
it isn't good
and you should take it out
of your life.

Love, Fida

Hm. This is where I'll half way agree. If it's a pleasure you can't share, you probably shouldn't be engaging in it.

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...
