Hopes for the New Year and Eemaan being shortlisted for another Award!

It’s funny how we always make plans for the New Year and then don’t see them through! Raise your hands if you’re guilty of that! I keep telling myself I must get my screenplay and book completed and send it off soon. So, it came as no surprise to find out my thirteen years old daughter, Eemaan, has been nominated yet for another Award.
Well, she does follow after me!!! Eemaan has always enjoyed creating stories long before I encouraged her to write it down. it has always been her choice. It seem my ten years old son Ahmad is following in her footsteps too. He is beginning to show a flare for poems! So, I’m amazed when people question me if I’m jealous of my daughter’s success. I find it absurd... ridiculous to hold such thoughts. I love my daughter and....I’m so...so. ..proud of what she has achieved at such a young age.
Ok!I'm not going to lie to say I would like to be recognised one day. Yes! I've got some of my work published but yeah...I would like more. So, If my children get there before me, I can cope. I’m not in the writing business for a prize but to write and express things that are important to me!
