It is on these days that my News and Events page becomes important to give me a realistic overview of my achievements. So far this year:
My page: https://www.amrapajalic.com/news--events.html I've been maintaining this page since 2012, so 12 years now, and it's such a buzz to see how each year I've been getting more traction with my writing, publishing and promoting. It's also really expanded since I started working part time in my day job and have had one day to dedicate to my writing practice. So the advice I have for any emerging writers:

Here's me-and my bed. I now have six standard pillows, two super large cushions and 4 small cushions on my bed. Every morning my process is making my bed and stacking my pillows on the bed so that they take up half the bed.
Today is my day off and usually I'd go to my writing studio, but my daughter is home sick and I'm still under the weather so I'm staying home instead. I lie back amongst my pillow fort, arranging them so they are propping me up, one on my lap to hold my laptop, the others to my side, as comfy props. When I watch tv in my bedroom I lie amidst the pillows like they're a large bean bag and sigh with dreamy happiness. And when I read I use one pillow on my lap to prop up the book and the side cushions to lie against in interesting poses. When I have a nana nap I like to leave them on the bed and arrange them so that they are a cuddle fort. And when I sleep at night I use arrange all of the cushions on the floor around my bed, and sleep with three pillows, one behind me bed, one between my legs as I lie on my side, and one to cuddle against and hold me up. I don't know when so many pillows became part of my life. I had thoughts that I would buy new pillows and replace old ones, and yet have instead just kept adding them. Somehow they have become a part of my happiness and joy as I use my bed for various recreational activities. 🌟📚 "A short and steamy whirlwind summer romance with some forbidden romance, insta love and family drama." - Kez on Goodreads

And the end is sublime and just left me crying so much and in awe.
The 11 July 1995 marks a dark day in Bosnian history. It is when the town of Srebrenica fell to the enemy after a 3 year siege and having been declared a safe zone. It is the day when women and children were separated from the boys and men. The women were ferried to the free zone while the men were transported on buses to killing grounds, executed and buried in mass graves. 8372 men and boys were killed in what was the largest massacre on European soil since WWII. For the last six years I've been working on my Creative Writing PhD writing a novel set during the town of Srebrenica and am completing an exegesis examining three novels written by non-Bosnian authors and the way they depict this historical time. Here are some books on my reading list that were useful in that research if you want to learn more. Here is an article that I wrote that was published in Overland.
