Christmas Eid (Coming of Age Fiction) Snippet

From Chapter 5 - The Teenage Dilemma

HARUN: You need to change your username— Abdi-Hakeem flops front first on Harun’s bed, groaning. ABDI-HAKEEM, muffled by the comforter: I’m. Not. Changing. My. Name. HARUN: —to LilMoShmoney. ABDI-HAKEEM, turning on his side: I’ll die first. HARUN: Isn’t your death exactly what we’re trying to avoid? ABDI-HAKEEM: That’s not an option. I’m not changing it. HARUN: Think of it as exchanging part of your username. Replace the ‘big’ with ‘lil’. You can’t drop ‘MoShmoney’ completely because then your career would be dead. But not changing it will mean that you might end up literally dead. Ergo, my solution, Demote yourself. You’ll come off smart enough to avoid being a first-degree murder victim. ABDI-HAKEEM, flatly: A) Never say ‘ergo’ again. B) Next idea. Quickly. Harun takes a break from his pacing to slump down in his desk chair. He fiddles with one of his many figurines. HARUN: Think about how your death will affect the family. I can’t be a Muslim minority related to the delinquent casualty in a Florida Man headline. I’ll never make it in politics! Wait… Now that I think about it, that might make for a good sob story. If I made you the ‘call to action’ in my ‘hero’s journey’, I could milk your death all the way to State… Abdi-Hakeem sits up and whips a pillow at his cousin. Harun catches it with his face. --- Christmas Eid is Booksmart meets the holidays but with a Muslim immigrant family and written in a unique, novelplay format. It's available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Chapter One is available on my website. If you liked reading this and are interested in receiving a free copy of the book, feel free to message me!

Thanks for reading,

In a main story (there's prequel's for before and sequels for after but is there something specific you should call the middle story? lol) you can grow the characters from point A to point Z through the series but with a prequel, you're building the characters back up to Point A; do you find that hard? Is there any changes or new character developments you'd like to add but can't because the characters have to fit into their previously established TOO introductions? 1/2

Thank you for your ask, Jacereaall!!!!!

("It's the squeal to PJO--oooohhhhhh. i see." "Medequeal." "I like limiqueal more." "That doesn't even mean middle--" "YEAH BUT IT MEANS THRESHOLD AND ALABSTER WOULD APPROVE--")

The bigger struggle I have is giving each baby the time I want them to have. Tales from Mount Othrys contains shorts that are snapshots of their time at Camp Othrys. It was always meant to be more summary than full dive, but it means the lil babies only get snapshots of character development.

As for a character development that I can't pursue...? Mercedes.

I want to do so much more with her. Her feelings about her job. About betraying her cohort. About Preator Julian dying. About her hidden family. About her hidden faith. About her secret crush on a particularly persistent parasite. There are snippets of scenes I would love to construct into full ones: Mercedes giving Pax an eidi card or cash for Eid. Pax snatching a kiss from her under Christmas mistletoe. Alabaster asking to join her during Salah. (She is, secretly, the demigod he respects the most aboard the Princess Andromeda.) Alabaster getting pissy because she'll explain prayer to Axel, but not him, since Axel has cultural and religious appreciation and Alabster is, um, clinical and scientific. (She would eventually educate him, but love to annoy Alabaster.)

Because of the construction of the prequel, she can't. Mercedes has a lot of pressure put on her, and she's balancing out a lot. Especially with how luke is losing it? She's scared of getting closer to anyone else, despite desperately wanting to and wanting to explore their worlds.

But, gods, can you imagine Mercedes being the one healthy friend this whole group has?

Otherwise....

I have a whole list of AU ideas for Reyel for the prequel. Listen. It's a problem. But I at least KNOW it is a problem--

Dear Blogging

How was your week? It was the holidays here,I think. And for once, I made sure to make the most of it.

It is a very special Eid (Festival) for me, so I'd love to be talking about it mostly★

I woke up the other day dreaming of Sev in a way I didn't like, which is my #1 fear when it comes to character designing— dicing chunks of varied forms of love into some shape and listen to my precious creations talk, to use a more intimate term. (Which is more closer to describing how I feel about the process.) He was in a delicious form but wasn't himself, and that's the main goal of anything I draw; Trying to make them look themselves as possible. It didn't make me feel off as I thought I would and I do lots of sketches of him out of his character somehow and I don't care. I think this is nice. Actually, I'm enjoying myself atm drawing him in another possible that-doesn't-look-like-him-ugh-redraw episode, and I'm not being sarcastic about it, hehe. Specially with the new brush I made for myself, and I feel proud of it.

And talking more about episodes, I have made a garbage audio recording test on some speed paint I made few days ago to start somewhere. I wanted to record myself talking about the art process and all— to practice actual speech, I couldn't even settle on a tone of voice to begin with. Coming next in frustration, the video wouldn't upload and the browser keep crashing even tho it's 46 second vid. It's probably my network connections as ever, which makes me question my ability to upload videos. But we'll find something to work around that.

I think I like how I'm dealing with things lately. I'm in much more peace with things, I noticed even things that are urgent in my priorities aren't effecting my mood so drastically, I am in more control and I am thankful. So with that I was determined that I make this Eid special, with everything that I was blessed to happen to me.

I don't remember having a proper Eid beyond what snippets of my childhood memory brings me. I remember this outfit I loved crazily— black and had oranges painted on it, and Sissi had lemons on hers. (Maybe that's the roots of why I like saying the word orange so much and she lemons..). Before Eid in few days you get out charity if you can of what the country you are in be the source of main food -its rice here, then the day of eid you go to Eid prayer wearing new clothing, give money to youngsters, go to where there's lights everywhere, visit extended families— which I only remember questioning why are we there at all times. I remember kids with garlic-looking crackers, they throw it on the ground and they pop like mad, so there was alot of fireworks going on too.

Anyways, I cared for the candy and still. Because I mostly only got to have some in Eid. And that's pretty much was it throughout the years- Eid is candy. Didn't have anything else available. It's strange because I don't like sweets, only in chocolate— the darker the better tho.

I decorated the room the day before, and ya know, used the elder power in me to generate the feeling of Eid by all means. I didn't do much actually, everything just happened. I found what I need few days before without evern looking for it. Like this one song me and some of my siblings had loved in the days when we only had playstation as a source of music (we played the games' sound tracks). Just by pure luck we found it on YouTube, the nostalgia and how it's amazing hit us so hard we were all hysterical! It's old too, like- in the year 1998 or something. I put it as our party music. There are classics Arabic songs of Eid, but Arabic music -with some exceptions- never interested me in general. I know two- this one is like the Christmas tune for Eid, and just kids saying welcome Eid ~

I only know the 40 sec of it, have a listen:

https://youtu.be/c4QxNWG0qjI

More locally; this one is always everywhere, as a child it always made me giggle at how the singer moans the lyrics at the start.

It's saying may you be from whom wins the fortune of having happy Eid (or something similar) and may you have these times again in the coming years and so on.

There it is- first 40 sec again, heh:

https://youtu.be/n7a99KgEfPE

Veering from caltural taste a bit and back to mine; newer things happened in this Eid, I called it Eid Jadeed (it means new festival and it's rhymes with the traditional saying of Eid Sa'eed= happy festival)

For one— the important one, only a year ago I wished so hard I can have my baby sis take from the Eid car the was passing our streets with free nicknacks to make her day. Now her day is made because we got cheep nicknacks that she actually WANTED. And she kept saying 'Party time! Party time!' Which made me so happy I could just explode. Next second she spilled juice over her stuff and that moment was short lived, still she loved everything, hehe.

Other minor things happened like; as much as I hate taking pictures I did throughout the party and everything. I didn't feel like my picture was a demon staring back at me, and I actually liked how I looked in them so it was nice for a change.

What else? Oh yeah, ofc crackers, dried fruits, nuts, chocolates and this beautiful creature of a plant, Kaka— we enjoyed eating.

Oh and I was congratulated of Eid by ppl online I was surprised they remembered me, heh. And one person from the Snape fandom, too! (you know yourself 🙈)

It was just marvelous, I am a happy Mani ⭐

Wish you all the best my dears, sincerely as ever 💛⭐🎆

Hello!

So... I published a book and I guess that officially makes me an author! (Yay!)

BUT (and brace yourself, it's a big one) I've been confronted by the rude, insidious awakening of the fact that I have no readers. (Not-so-Yay...)

To be Francine, I am straight up not having a good time right now.

1 or 10,000 people have told me that to get readers, I have to put myself out there and the only place I feel comfortable doing that is Tumblr.

So here I am, returning to my roots. Coming to you with open arms and an open heart (please ignore my strange expression, I have resting cringe face; it's a product of my introverted nature, or rather a by-product of my hombodiness, which is also an unofficial side effect of the usual suspects, the pandemic and a dash of social media).

I'm looking for a community. Looking for beta-readers and am happy to be a beta-reader. Looking to talk, laugh, complain, cheer, and share. I'd love to find a writing group and make friends too.

So, on this blog, I will:

Talk about writing (and myself)

Answer questions nobody asked

Share quotes from my book

Talk about interests like books, movies, and art

A little about me:

You can call me Shahra (My pen name is K.W. Shahrazad)

I'm 24 years old and a grad student.

I love sitcoms, drinking tea, and I guess just the small things in life

Masterlist of Snippets

My book is called Christmas Eid (Coming of Age Novelplay)

I'm really hoping to find mutuals! If you feel like we vibe, please reach out! I've no doubts that together we will straight up be having a good time.

Love, Sharah <3
