Good news!!



I am very happy and delighted to announce that two of my poems (My kitchen and Delivery) have been awarded Honorable Mention in the category (non-rhyming poetry # 28 and 29) at the 78th annual Writer's Digest writing competition. This year there were 13557 participants in 10 different writing categories. Nice news in such a busy and stressful time I am going through trying to finish my graduate work. Hopefully in a few weeks, I will be able to write and interact again with all my friends right here and through their wonderful blogs.

Wish you all the best.

Oh, Khaled, how marvelous! To win a Writer's Digest award is so prestigious. I took WD's fiction-writing course a long time ago and had the most amazing coach.
13,557 participants=wow. Just think how many people will read your poems! Which is what I'm going to do right now. :)

Hi Khaled,
Congratulations, well deserved!! Good luck on finishing your grad school (I went back to school too. It's fun, but also demanding).
Looking forward to read more of your poetry!
Take care,
