well, to be honest, I was going through my RSS and came across
the Problogger post showing off pictures people had sent in of them
with his book, and I decided I wanted pictures like that.
@khouryrt: you're a doc
in training, you have to write books to graduate :P
Personally, I've written several books too, I do every year
(poetry compliations). But nothing published yet. And there is
certainly a plan to my maddness ;)
I've got a few different topics I could write about.
Actually, I started a book a LONG time ago. It was basically a
text version of all the stories my friends and I tell about each
other and our adventures over the years.
I quit cause I got sick of typing, and I kept getting off on
tangents, lol.
@arjw no, not medical ebooks
(and correction i am a pharmacist, not a doctor
frown). Mostly i've written short stories and
poetry compilations too :) u know there's more to me than meets the
eye ;)
@arjw my stories are in
french mostly, which i don't know if you speak, if you do i'll
forward my last one. i have always published my poems on
poemhunter, hm let's find that address, oki here it is: http://www.poemhunter.com/rita-el-khoury...
There's french and english poems, you'll know by the title
;)
Personal Favorites include "A dream to revive, a paint to kill",
most of the "A poem a day" , "Are we strangers now", "Shakespeare's
lost letter", well and others too of course
Writing books...hmmm, I should try sometime. I always write few
pages of my holidays. One day that will amount to hundreds of
pages, and some crazy guy won't mind buying "The touristic secrets
of Mozambique".
@arjw Shoot me ur opinion
(by mail khoury.rt on gmail) when you're done, but keep in mind
most of this stuff is 4-5yrs old... "In your eyes", the newest, was
written some 6 or 7 months ago, i find it hard to get some free
time to write now :(

@khouryrt: A Dream to Revive, A Paint to Kill is awesome. The French ones will take me a bit, I am a bit out of practice in reading French.
