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

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.

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
