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 friends I consider family.

Anticipating 

What the future may bring.

Wishing

For good.

Making Me Happy

Heart to heart moments and cat cuddles.

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...
