Time to write!
It's been AGES! However, my dear fiance's family's interest in my writing has reminded me that I need to do it a little more often.
The main reason I stopped writing in this blog because "The Forgotten" which I first started writing here, really took off and I started working on it as a complete novel. I still want to finish that - it's my goal to make significant progress on it this summer - but updating this blog with ideas and blurbs is never ever a bad idea.
I don't have lots of time to write at the exact moment because I need to continue studying for finals, but I was reading some [translated] Urdu poetry for my English class and came upon the following stanza by Ghalib:
"What I have
Isn't a case of love
but madness --
I grant you that.
But then it's true --
Your reputations rests
Upon the fact that was you
who drove me mad."
I don't know why but that struck me. I would love to write a quick scenario based on that verse, or the theoretical letter from one lover to another based on these lines, but that will need to wait at least until I finish reading all the Urdu poetry which I didn't actually read when it was assigned because oops.
