sent a copy of chapter 1 of halqa 2 to my friends and I am patiently waiting for their critics before starting chapter 2. 
Dialogues are my weakest point but I did my best and tried to make it really natural. The hardest thing is describing the moroccan architecture.
Hind’s home is a Fassi Riad in a European inspired city (a mix of London and Paris) so basically her home doesn’t have a roof, has those beautiful and majestic doors, that wonderful zellige, that outstanding foutain BUT I CAN’T DESCRIBE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
I AM FROM A SMALL OASIS, I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT RIAAAADS 
Moroccan Artists back in days: i am going to create an art that you shall NEVER BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE IT take your L YOU FAILED WRITER
Also, describing outfits is stressing. Gnadars, kfatans, takchitats, jabador, jlalb, foqiya, etc are all differents things.. Well, for women the only thing stressing me is the details on the dresses but for MEN. just a big headache. 
I stress about this detail because I want to respect the culture I was born and raised in. To me, it’s important to write well about outfits that I have wore and seen all my life. It’s important to pay hommage to that blue tunic with the white collar full of little pearls that was designed in that style that people would say “ah you bought it from the habous of Casablanca right?”, that little blue tunic that I paid with my money and wore it proudly at school and was being mocked by the others. 
but anyway!!! Practice is the key. So I am going to work on it.
I am getting used to Hind after spending 3 years on Noor. Hind is complicated so is Noor but difference is Hind is way too blunt when Noor cares. Noor doesn’t want people to get hurt while Hind doesn’t care.
 She really doesn’t like living in Lonaris and believe that the ellektos aristocracy is the biggest insult to humanity. Her father tries his best to prevent his daughter to not make a diplomatic incident.

hind: this is for king theodore you big f-
