Hello Poetteers,

You can find the origins of the idea here.

I just finished reading Snow Like Ashes. I will hopefully have a review up on Friday.

As for what I'm watching, still planner videos. I gave it a try.


Loving

I'm loving the feeling I get after publishing a new book! And the feeling of doing more with my poetry.

Add HER TREASURES on Goodreads.

Buy a copy on Amazon.

Check out my merch store.

Listening to

The two songs that have been stuck in my head for days are Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift and Drag Me Down by One Direction.

Thinking about

The autumn weather. There are sweet things like the crunch and color of leaves, the crisp air, cuddles and hot drinks that I love about it. Yet in reality the cold in the air is draining me.

OctPoWriMo

I've been meaning to participate this year but I've only written in response to a couple prompts.

What matters most
is if I was brave
brave enough to face my fears
enough to know my fears is not something to hide behind
but something to push you to conquer and see more of what you love
to see you love so much more

What matters most
is if I was brave
brave enough to fight
for the freedom I deserve
for the happiness I deserve.

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...
