I had just scaled through a terrible ordeal, and I felt the need to share my experience. So, Jihad was originally about me, only with a few tweaks, until it became so much more.

Settings. I couldn't decide if I wanted the settings to be an important part of my story, and I still haven't decided.

Description. I am good at describing; it's not really a problem. But since my book deals with pornography addiction, and I'm a Muslim, I struggled with learning how to be graphic without actually being graphic . I hope you get what I mean.

Everything. I actually love writing in the voice of Jihad, who is the main character, and since the story is written from her POV, I write in her voice all through. That's exciting.

Great. Great. Great. They love the story. They love Jihad. They're invested in her story. And they love my writing.

A stand-alone. I'm not done with it, but I'm fairly positive there won't be a sequel.

But then, I love writing about controversial stuff. Topics that are hardly talked about within the Muslim community. And I have a list of controversial themes planned for my next novels. So, I can say JIHAD is the first in the series of the controversial books I'll be writing.

There's always light at the end of the tunnel. Addiction may be difficult to overcome, but it isn't impossible.
