If we were having coffee...

Hello Poetteers,

I saw Jamie from The Perpetual Page Turner do this kind of blog post a few times and decided to follow after her.

If we were having coffee... I'd tell you I read BESTEST. RAMADAN. EVER. I loved seeing the main character with her struggles and friendships. I could relate to her. I gave the story 5 stars.

I'm also currently reading Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic. I don't know how I feel about it yet.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you how much I dislike that winter is finally settling in. But I'm happy the school break is over and I'm back in a quiet home.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I want to and am starting to cut back on social media. I didn't delete my accounts in case I want to come back but I did log myself out and delete the apps off of my phone.

If we were having coffee…I’d tell you that I'm loving my new and improved evening routine. It is a time of the phone and internet. It is my reading and relaxing time.

If we were having coffee... I'd tell you my second poetry book, Her Olives, is turning two on Feb 13th! I would love to see pictures of you reading it. You can share it on any social media with #FidasOlives.

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...
