Author Interview :
1. How long did it take you to write Middle South?
It took me years to write Middle South. I always saw it as a hobby that I could pick back up whenever I had time. Motherhood consumed me in the most beautiful way, and I was lucky enough to immerse myself completely in that for a few years.
2. Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it?
I get writer’s block all the time, but I never had a deadline so I would just put the book down. It always passes, and sometimes the solution is to step away from it for a moment rather than trying to force creativity.
3. What was your favorite thing about writing your book?
My favorite thing about writing my book was it gave me a sense of self. When I write, I'm just me.

4. What do you hope readers take away from Middle South?
I really hope readers learn a little about the Lebanese culture. And I really hope they laugh.
5. What advice would you give budding writers?
My advice to budding writers is to just write. Turn on your computer and write from the heart.
