Hello readers,
What have you lostwhat are you grieving?
The loss of family and friendswhen you have to leave themcuz an event ends when one dies
With each day passing that you still haven't seen that one side of your familythat new cousin
Just sadthat everything is totally differentbut it's a beautiful sadnesswhen those people and youare proud of who you are.

What's up Wednesday: Nov Ed
Hello readers,
WHAT I'M READINGI haven't read much or anything recently.
WHAT I'M WRITING I have been writing, though, since it's NaNoWriMo. I'm at a grand total of 26k! I'm not close to 50k, but this is my personal best as I look back at my other attempts.
WHAT INSPIRES ME RIGHT NOWworking on new projects, an upcoming camp and that the holidays are coming. Soon it'll be the new year!
WHAT ELSE I'VE BEEN UP TOThis is exciting!!! My upcoming publication is my second one and the first that's going to be in paperback, woohoo!! I just need to edit and format it and wait for the cover designer to finish the cover. As you wait for the cover reveal and other fun stuff you can add to Goodreads - (link in book page)
You can get a peak of what it's going to be like here on my blog and in my first published book, A TO Z POETRY (link in book page)
Enjoy and thank you,

Flash Friday: NaNo Style
Hello readers,
I have a somewhat a new segment for you as you can tell by the title. Let's get to it!
Day 13: "I love walking around campus at night. You get to see the moon and stars. Only the street lamps light the path. It's beautiful. I may trying writing sometime in this place. For now the poem will have to do."
"We are not sheep here. No one herds us and we don't follow anyone. Yet I must say we have a few black sheep among us. It's awkward."
"An eye of a tiger is something I try to capture in words like I once tried in drawing."
"Sometimes you got to love yourself a little more to get the energy you need to keep going."
Day 15: "It just really pisses me off that my existence is not that important to be listened to and peacefully said hello to."
"I think her heart got the rest of her body sick because of missing me."
Day 21: "The moon shimmered on the clouds, on the water at the beach along with the colors of the sky during sunrise and sunset. All next to the stars."
Thank you and love,

Monday Blessings: Nov Ed
Hello readers, it's been around a month since my last blessings post.
In a few days from now I'm about to get almost a suitcase full of chocolate. I'm not lying! I'll take a picture.
In a little over month I get to go to camp and see my awesome sisters!
I have to put in a bit of selfish promo: it's been two months since I self published my first poetry collection!! You can get it on Smashwords for less than $2!
Also in three months I'm self publishing another poetry collection. I made the official announcement last week!
Other blessings... let's see... a job, two cats, family. Finally got two new baju kurung after eight years (my last trip to Malaysia); these two new ones were sent thru two mutual friends to get to me. More love, less money.
I'm blessed to rekindle my love for baking before I add it into my New Years resolution.
Last but not least I'm glad to be participating in NaNoWriMo after a month off. I never really took a break before this one. I never was really into novel writing until maybe last year. I know this year for sure. I did start writing awhile back but more short stories.
Enough rant, thank you and love! Have a good week!
