WUW and Day 8

I'm still reading THE PROPHET. I did finish reading BONE, NEJMA and SALT. All of them were prose and poetry books, all were inspiring.

I also read an ARC of The Evolution of Emily. It comes out in November. I'll be posting my review closer to the release date.

I'm doing OctPoWriMo. I'm using it for both writing practice and to get an idea of the plot for my NaNoWriMo story:

Like the moon
pulls the tide
Seeing something
triggers my memory
pulls me into nostalgia;

People say
the full moon has powers
I don't see that
I do see
it marks my calendar;

Whether or not
the moon has powers
it pulls the tide
it casts beautiful lining
in the clouds
illuminating the sky and earth
in twilight.

Love, Fida

I didn't know there was an OctPoWriMo! How cool! Is the goal to post a poem a day?

I have never been a huge poetry writer, but I am taking a fiction writing class and they said writing poetry can help you with imagery in a scene. I guess it's time for me to learn! Your poem is great!

That was beautiful! Wish I had kept writing poetry, but I can't now, I'm so in love with reading and reviewing books that everything else will have to wait. Good luck with OctPoWriMo! ;)

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.
