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! ;)

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
