Freedom of a FREE lance Writer … Finally!


It's been a very long time since I've written anything in here.
I've been away from the blogging life for so long that it felt like a whole age.
I got busy with many things those last two month, among them was having my new epilepsy medication which caused me some stupid side effects like nose bleeding, and oversleeping, besides, which is the most important, The doctor said that pregnancy is impossible during that medicine course!!!
But the thing that gave me some comfort was that my sickness was not physical or biological at all. Only over-stress and depression, and that I can stop those pills after a while.

So I decided to take that new step in my life which is working from HOME!!!
Yes, I left my Full-time job finally, although I didn't prepare a work desk or even buy a PC or a Laptop at my home; I just hastily took the step.
I had to go for many days to work from my family's home on my old PC which I left after marriage for my younger brother and my mom.

It felt like breathing fresh Air once again. Things were getting to the worst stage immediately before I left.
Then, as if it wasn't meant for me to work finally in peace, I suffered many misunderstandings from my Boss and some manipulations from the other Assistant Editor who was working with me. They thought I passed the deadlines of my work and then all of a sudden my freelance contract items were changed without me being told!!!

Even When I wrote a 6 pages letter to my boss explaining the misunderstandings that occurred during a whole week, she just replied back in about 10 lines telling me that it's her right to change the contract items anytime and that she's not obliged to ask my opinion.
Then I discovered today and for my surprise that the article I sent for September was published on the 11th of October in the creativity club corner which is a hidden subsection inside the Youth Department. I was ultimately pissed off!!!

Finally I decided I'll shut my mouth up and do what they ask like a blind dog until I find a way out and write for another reputable places (Not that the website I worked at is not Reputable!!) as I still believe in my talent and in my writing style.

I had a time when I lost my self confidence and thought a was a total failure and my writing career is falling down and it's the only thing in my life that I can do well, either to write in English or in my native Arabic language.
Until I gained myself again this week, I don't know how, but I felt like I want to write everyday. Even if it's not for living nowadays, but soon it will be by God's will.

I hope the day I dreamed of becoming a famous writer and author would come, even if that will be the last day of my life.
As long as I'm breathing, walking, seeing, analyzing, and having the mind to work and the hand to type and write, as long as I'll keep on that Path to deliver my message, my thoughts, and the peoples' insight and wisdom.
