A Step Toward Falling

Hello Poetteers,

Book Review

A Step Toward Falling by Cammie McGovern - 5 stars.

The story is about not judging people from their appearance and of redemption.

It has several point of views. One is of someone who is disabled and the other is of those looking in as an outsider. It's about how both kinds of people deal with with other people having different disabilities.

There is romance in the story but it doesn't take away from the story.

OctPoWriMo

Build bridges of relationships
and of friendships
of communication
with those you want to be with
instead of wondering
how it would be.

Burn the bridges
that don't take you anywhere

Make connections that move you.

Don't make yesterday,
today and tomorrow
of worry and thoughts
of what ifs
of regret
make it something good
something to remember.

Thank you,

Fida

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...
