I see it's been nearly a year since I have posted on this blog!  Yikes.  I am still in Abu Dhabi, now in my third year.  Although I miss my family very much, I love my work and writing life here.  This picture is the view from my apartment in center city Abu Dhabi.  Two years ago I was terrified to drive here, and put off getting a car for f months.  Even then I ventured out only on Fridays - the Muslim holy day and first day of the weekend. 

Now I am more comfortable getting around the city, though I still get teased about how few kilometers I've racked up.  This doesn't bother me at all.  Our small writing group meets monthly at one of our homes and we have a great time.  Right now I am 2nd place overall in the Slingink Scribbling Slam contest out of the U.K.  Every two weeks, contestants write a story of 2000 words or less based on a prompt.  It's a great way to hone writing skills. 

This year I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month.  The challenge is to write a novel of 50,000 words in one month.  We'll see how I do with this!

    I've always scribbled during, oh, math class.  So decided to 'have a go'.
