Say Yes & Day 9

Hello readers,

Before I share my poem of the day I have something else to share. DAMSEL DISTRESSED comes out in less than a week, on Oct 14!! And there is a catchy tour/tag going on called Say Yes to Distressed.

So confession time! My distressing/embarrassing moment was that a close friend was changing something in them and I didn't like it. Instead of going to them I went to not another friend but an acquaintance and burst into tears and told them what happened. I shouldn't have done that. In the end it was fine. I confronted my close friend and she forgave me. We are still close, if not closer today.

Since we are talking fairytales, you should check this out: Elissa Sussman Gives Fairy Tales A Feminist Edge

Now onto OctPoWriMo:

Looking back at the past few days
and not much, no one notices
the effort I'm putting in

I want to stop and see if people still notice
if they don't i might need to change something
if they do then I have something powerful hidden in the midst of all this

Either way
I still continue
it's a way to practice for the real thing
it's a way to get an idea for a project
it's a way to release all that's in me
that bad energy I want to get rid of
the good energy I want to share
the inspiring energy I want to give
I want to love.


Thank you,

Fida

Honestly, I do it just because.
I'm quite sure I would have done the same thing as you did, going to another friend regarding the situation you were discussing. I have trouble with confrontation.

Your final line got me deep in my gut. Yes, yes, yes! Me, too!

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.

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!
