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.

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
