Welcome, readers and fellow writers, to What Do I Write Today… or WDIWT

Worst acronym ever, I know, that’s why we’ll never use it again.

About the pub

Thoughts and feelings delivered to your inbox 1-2 times a week. Expect rants, unwavering support for Palestine and Palestinian resistance, world and US politics, and whatever else I feel like sharing.

» A little something special on Fridays (or Thursdays, sometimes Saturdays): Roundup post. It has thoughts and feelings… but it also has a list of pubs—literary, mostly—accepting submissions.

That’s about it.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, please do. Validation (or money… which is a form of validation I suppose) is what keeps me going, you see? Capitalism got my priorities all screwed up but what can you do…

OK. I'll subscribe.

As for me

Let me introduce myself now, seeing how I’m the writer here.

I’m Maliha (I prefer “she” or “they”… the second pronoun is really just a nod to my native tongue that doesn’t have gender-specific pronouns).

I’m an ex-engineer (though I keep thinking of ways to get back to it because it was quite fun when it wasn’t not-fun).

I’m a current writer. That’s what I do these days to make a living. I write all sorts of things. Whatever pays the bills. Not erotica. I tried it, but there’s just something about Anaïs Nin that simply isn’t reproducible.

Lately, I’ve been trying my hand at short stories. They don’t pay my bills, but I can’t seem to stop writing them.

a little more about me

If you’re a Nazi or a Zionist, get off my platform, please. I don’t like racists.

Still here? Great!

Please subscribe?

fine. i guess i will

Now… what else do you need to know? I’m afraid there’s not much else to say. This pub is still a work in progress, so please be patient with me as I figure things out… is all I can say for now.

Thank you for reading to the end :)

This pub is about life—my life—including reading, writing, observations, and ranty thoughts. I see the arrogance in that, but what are we as writers if not a bunch of arrogant gremlins? Subscribe and read?
