Your writing is the first concert of a promising artist.
It makes everyone clamor to be a part of it. We all want to be “friends with the band” before they make it big — the terrifying and elating fact is that the day that happens seems almost unbelievably close.
I count myself blessed to be among the select few you entitle “friend.”
I’m excited to read you works more and more after each new piece.
When you drop the story you’ve been living and writing all your life on us, I doubt I shall leave the confines of a couch until I have absorbed and loved every word.
I agree with James. I can’t start my day without reading your blog. You are everything I wished for; thank you for being part of my life. Thank you for being my Guiding Light.
Just read some of your writing… your excitement for the craft is so present it’s palpable. I love it. I wish you the best in everything–you have amazing talent. My own writing calls out to me, but alas, with two small children and a life on the move, I feel dreadfully short on hours with which to revel in my work.

Dear Salma,

Thank you for sharing with us all!

Salma,
Just read some of your writing… your excitement for the craft is so present it’s palpable. I love it. I wish you the best in everything–you have amazing talent.
