Thrilled — and a little stunned — to have won first prize in the Al Azhar Writing Prize for a short story that’s part of the prequel novella to my #WIP, Clinging to the Stones.

So grateful to the judges & organisers!

And great many thanks for @mahmudelsayed.bsky.social!

Just sat down to write again after two rough months. It feels like coming home to a place I forgot I missed. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writerslife

Yesterday there was another Israeli raid on #Syria.

I was sitting on the balcony, revising my #WIP, watching the anti-aircraft missiles.

Like fireworks.

Writing is a luxury.
