The Poetteer

Hello Poetteers, It's another short post. I won NaNo yesterday!! I'm happy that I still love my story. I'm blessed with so much. I love the bit of sunshine in these beginning cold months. Stay inspired, Fida Check out my book, Her Treasures .

Hello readers, I recently finished CARRY ON by Rainbow Rowell. It's a big book but I got through it. The beginning was a bit slow but in the end I loved it and gave it 5 stars. It reminds me of Harry Potter with the magic and boarding school. It was similar yet so different. The romance was still suspenseful even though you know a bit from the bits in Fangirl (if I remember correctly). It was heartfelt and funny. It has the classical Rainbow Rowell ending. Love, Fida Check out my book, Her Treasures .

Hello Poetteers, It's a short post today. Even though I don't have much time I'm blessed to have time. I'm blessed with health. I'm loving the ability to feel the generosity of the people around me. I'm currently at 25k for NaNo. I'm blessed with the chance to write, to write what I love and love what I write. Stay inspired, Fida Check out my book, Her Treasures .

Hello readers, I'm reading CARRY ON by Rainbow Rowell and BIG MAGIC by Elizabeth Gilbert. I have no time to watch much. I'm watching THE VOICE here and there. Loving Chocolate & journaling. Writing short stories and my novel. Thinking about Family and friends I consider family. Anticipating Next month's events Wishing For a sense of normalcy. Making Me Happy My novel. Heart to heart moments and cat cuddles. Silence, pace and quiet. NaNoWriMo I'm at a total of 20k!! Love, Fida Check out my book, Her Treasures .

Hi everyone, One goal I set as a New Years resolution was to explore new poetry styles. I was reading Lynn Crawford 's Fancy earlier. It's a Sestina-Story. Without looking at the notes I was able to find three of the six words. I was talking to my mom and she ended up reading the story too. She didn't want me to give her the words until after she read it. She got one of the six words right. This format is interesting. It has gotten me excited and re-inspired my love for writing poetry. I did a bit more research on Sestina and it continues to put me in awe. Some people have different ways of interpreting it. Check out this poem . The author picks six words and sticks to only those six words, just rearranging them yet the different punctuation adds to the poem. I attempted to write a piece: The fall of leaves blanket the ground the cats play in it as it swirls into the flowers I stay indoors with my coffee and chocolate The smell of coffee and chocolate lure...

Hi everyone, We are midway through NaNoWriMo. My word count is currently at 14k. In their recent email they asked about our resolutions for the rest of the month. My resolution is to let go of the worry of not reaching 50K. 2) to write consistently everyday (mornings work best for me). 3) to continue writing everyday towards my novel after this month is over and to continue to write after 50k, until the story is at the end. Love, Fida Check out my book, Her Treasures .

Hello Poetteers, Here are some blessings I took notice of throughout the past week. Cat cuddles - I think cats can sense when you are upset. Sleep - take in every hour and every chance. One day you can't and will wish you took that nap. Mothers - they are your constant. They are there for everything, they to do everything until they can't but are still there to listen. Something no one else can be. You feel it all when you read/say the word mother. Friends - support you and are generous with their help and love. Crafting - just like writing, it's therapeutic. Strength - you are stronger than you think. You don't know it until you expect the need for it. Prayer - fully trust in God and everything will be okay. NaNoWriMo - my story is going in unexpected ways but it's good and I'm loving it. I'm currently at 7k. Love, Fida Check out my book, Her Treasures .

Hello Poetteers, NaNoWriMo I'm 2k into the writing challenge. Reading I've read Signs Point to Yes by Sandy Hall. I gave it 4 stars. It is cute and better than her first book. I also read Sounds Like Me by Sara Bareilles. It's cool to see the stories behind some of your favorite songs. I'm currently reading Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. Loving I'm inspired to use my planner again. I'm also inspired to use my journal in new ways. I'm enjoying decorating them. I am also doing the #listersgotttalist  challenge. I can't help but mention the books I've read, own and those I wrote that aren't published along with those published. It would be awesome if you could vote for Her Treasures in the poetry category of the Goodreads Choice Awards . Listening To One of the lyrics, "will you still love me the same?" is stuck in my head. It's the song Locked Away by R. City ft. Adam Levine . Thinking About Family and frien...
