2021 highlight, I wrote a novel over Dec 20 - Apr 21. I entered it into a competition not expecting anything. In July found I was 1 of 12 that had been longlisted. It was surreal. No matter what, this moment has taught me I can publish a book one day; I shouldn't give up. 😊

HEARTSTOPPER X #POC
Two boys that are polar opposites, grow feelings when working on a school project together. To make it work, one must face their depression, and the other their questionable sexuality, if they want a chance at happiness. #YA #LGBT #OWN #DVPIT

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Suhal is gay. Luna's straight. When they're paired up in school for coursework sparks fly. As Suhal battles with the guilt of his parents divorce from his coming out. Luna learns to accept that sexuality sometimes doesn't need a label. Love is love. #YA #POC #LGBT #OWN #DVPIT

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Suhal's experienced enough change to last a lifetime. He wants to be alone. Yet when paired up with Luna, the school's likable Head Boy, his heart has other ideas. Tackling depression and crushing on a straight guy isn't what Suhal planned for Year 11. #YA #POC #LGBT #OWN #DVPIT

Suhal has one rule: be alone. Yet when he's paired with kind, straight Luna for a project, his heart has other ideas. Dealing with the guilt of coming out, his parents divorce and depression, Suhal finds a way to find the light through the darkness. #YA #LGBT #POC #OWN #DVPIT

Opportunities don't wait for when you're ready, so don't push them away. Sieze them when you can, as it'll only help you grow.

A friend is beta reading it right now and I'm not as nervous with feedback I think I'm getting more confident with my craft!!

I ended up writing a whole YA Nobel in May/June and it's LGBT, POC and super cute with Hella angst I love it

Putting my novel in Google Docs was either a great or terrible life choice because I just wrote a rough 1st chapter 🙃 kinda obsessed with the enemies to lovers vibe

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Started the 1st chapter after much struggle on wondering how to start it 🙃 but it's done, and the flow is coming

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

From this week, I want to start on this novel that's been stuck in my head since last year. I'm trying a slower approach, a chapter week and see how that goes 🙃 let's see if I can stick to it

Let Somebody Go

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Everyday trying to remind myself to be present in the here and now. It's hard when my mind wants to run wild to the future and what ifs, but that does more harm than good. So trying my best to focus on today and only today

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Need this in my life

imagine if taylor does like a docuseries of the re-recording process with 6 episodes: taylor swift, fearless, speak now, red, 1989 and reputation. the “taylor’s version” documentary 🤯

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Did the Query today and I'm with it as a draft for now. I honestly prefer doing Synopsis and Query first before the novel as it helps me to see if there's any kinks in the story. Everything seems good, guess we go and write now...

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Also hopped back onto some writing stuff this weekend. Go me! I got the synopsis for this cute romance down to 500 words! Now might plan to write the actual story lol 🙈

[Farah (she/her) @farah_faqir]

Watched #Encanto this weekend and it's the most beautiful movie ever! The soundtrack to story urgh so good!!

[tushar @reputushion]
