Sabr

Silent du'aa whispered
Accompanied by trust in Him
Being wary of despair
Rejoice the glad tidings for the patient ones

New Level

My writing, that is.

I'm planning to expand my scope, lengthen my breadth and explore into more research-based writing. I love creative non-fiction... adding spice to what would otherwise be plain-Jane non-fiction, and you probably know I love poetry as well. I am currently working on a teen fiction novel, and continue to write academic pieces... but yeah, researched-based writing is where I'm looking to now.

I believe I have developed in my article writing over the last year and a half, mashaa`Allaah. Working with SISTERS magazine has really broadened my horizons and pushed me to where I may not have necessarily pushed myself. Alhamdulillaah.

So what's the plan?

To have more 4 chapters of my teen novel done by Wednesday, and wrap up a current assignment, and submit an article for the Winter issue of SISTERS. Oh, and I've got something else up my sleeve, but I can't reveal that just yet.

Let's just say, I've got a lot of writing ahead of me, and I absolutely love it!

Reform

Reform
Begins within

Remember that
When you're calling
Inviting the lost in

Reform
Begins within

Remember that
When handling fliers
Thrown in the bin

Reform
Begins within

Remember that
Emotions stir
Your mic. booming

Reform
Begins within

Remember that
While at meetings
Drawing people in

Reform
Begins within

Your flame may light
But could soon dim

Because reform
Begins within.
