I was talking with some friends about how we respond to the ol' "how are you?" these days. Some were really struggling but I said I just go with "I'm Palestinian" and let that speak for itself. In the last few days, we've witnessed the worst massacre in our history. I'm not okay, and no one knows what to say. I think it's just like anything else, even saying something is better than the silence.

I miss you all. Especially my pals from LJ.

I've really... found myself in a career. It crept up on me. I guess I'm a professional writer now. An editor at Simon and Schuster read my short stories, found my website and extended their help if I should ever write a novel. So, I'm working on one... It's coming along nicely, although I hate it. I hate everything about it. But the draft is there and that's all it has to do right now.

So, yeah. I'm churning out 500-2500 words per day on that project. I made a playlist, and some mood boards:


Somehow, five musicals came through! I'll take inspiration however I can.
