What's Up Wednesday: The Last

Hello Poetteers,

My latest read was AUSTENLAND by Shannon Hale. I enjoyed it yet I gave it 3 stars.

On my Twitter page I announced that I'm working on a fourth poetry collection for publication! I hope to see you there to keep you updated on the process.

Also, yesterday was the release day for Aisha Saeed's WRITTEN IN THE STARS!

Last but not least, thank you Jamie and Erin!

Love, Fida

Good luck with your new poetry collection! Poetry is such an undervalued art form these days, so it's nice to see some writers still choose 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.
