What's up Wednesday: Winners!

Hello readers,

I'm in the midst of reading HEIR OF FIRE. Whenever I put it down to do life, it kills me. I want to keep reading.

I'm still revising DH. Realized I never mentioned her old friends. Now they are starting to appear and love her new friends.

I'm also still doing NaNoWriMo. I'm at 41k!

Earlier, I was listening to the song True Colors. I think of writing color poems for my book. I realize I have. More than a couple, too. Two about black and white. One about purple. Two about rainbows.

Then suddenly I thought of the title for the book. Kaleidoscope.

My writing goal is to write 4k today. I did it yesterday, so I'm hoping I can do it again today. I hope I can win nanowrimo within the next two days.

Other than that, it's time to announce the winners of the giveaway! I will be contacting you soon.

Thank you for participating! If you haven't won or are still interested in my books, you can check them out here.

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...
