Well, that’s been an extremely long time, I’d say. And I can say this because after all, this is my writing update. I did survive 2020, in case anyone was wondering. In fact, I moved to Barcelona in January of that year to be close to my #PakispanishLover –
Wait, what? A new update? So soon after the last one? Why yes, I aim to surprise! I have just published the second Sundae, and I have to say that I have a really good feeling about writing them based on prompt suggestions. It stretches my imagination as well as my writing muscles, for some suggestions are much further away from my comfort zone than others. Like this one; I had to stretch far because I never write about ‘space’.
School started again and now I wish I had put more effort into finding my focus to write during the Summer season. It turns out that my Minor (Arab Culture & Language) is rather time consuming; I love this, because I love learning, but it leaves me ample time to do anything else. Last month I put a new feature on the site which would help me actually write something, anything, creative on a weekly basis.
It’s Summer and I haven’t written as much as I intended, so far. I did get a lot of inspiration for #PakispanishLover (as if I needed more of that!), after spending more time in Barcelona with the man himself. That project is going well, under circumstances – I have written a few more poems, written a few more pages and I have decided on the ending for the story.
At the moment I am working on two books. The first is my biographical political novel – which sounds much heavier than it actually is. The working title of this book is Man With Dog, so in these updates I’ll refer to it as #manwithdog. Since I started plotting this book in 2014 I have come up with an actual title but I keep that to myself.
