Since I was a child, I had three dreams I wanted to
fulfill. My first dream was to study law, which I have already completed. My
second dream was to be a teacher. I did tutor kids and still teach my younger
siblings all their subjects in depth. My third dream was to be a writer and
publish at least one novel in my lifetime. This dream grew bigger in me each
day until I finally decided it was time to step closer into changing my last
and greatest dream to reality.
I often imagine myself facing a dramatic
incident or having a touching or serious conversation with someone and think of
ways I would respond to that particular incident. My imagination grew and
soared into another world, oblivious of those around me. Writing years of
thoughts, dreams and experiences would certainly make me feel better and make
it all worthwhile.
Furthermore, I wish to write since there are few writers
from my background and country who have written romance novels in English.
Perhaps with determination, motivation and your cherished advice and guidance,
I will be able to bridge between the English and Arabic worlds. I also hope to
correct any misconception about our thoughts and customs by introducing ‘real’
and ‘unbiased’ behaviors of many modern United Arab Emirates’ individuals. I
would use my writing to discuss foreign concepts in the lightest and fairest
way possible by introducing characters that one could relate to, no matter what
background or race they come from.
I have been carrying a story in my mind for
more than a year and I hope to transform my mere thoughts into writing and wish
that it would someday become a published novel.
