JuNoWriMo Blog Hop

Hello Poetteers,

In a month it will be JuNoWriMo!

"For those of you who are unfamiliar with JuNoWriMo, it’s a month long writing adventure in the style of NaNoWriMo, complete with word sprints and plenty of other writers to cheer you on. The goal is to write 50,000 in one month (1,667 words a day). You can write whatever you want. Fiction, non-fiction, the final 50k to something you started five years ago. Anything. We’d love to have you write with us!"

I will be working on the same story I started to write during camp nano back in April. The story I'm working on is about a Muslim girl balancing her faith in her love for soccer and fashion design.

Yet that might change into a new story with similar themes. We'll see where the months and planning takes me.

Love, Fida

If you publish that book I will buy it immediately because you're talking about a much more fictional side of me, I'm the Muslim girl who loves soccer and fashion design!!! :P okaaaay enough craziness, I wish you all the luck in finishing your book, it sounds amazing :)

Welcome again to JuNoWriMo, Fifi. Hopefully I'll see you during sprints again this year.

Your book sounds like a good story for young girls, no matter what their faith. It's hard to be a teenager in the world... any teenager.

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. 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...
