Writing, Writing and Writing!

For the past few weeks, I was entirely swamped with the load of work so I was not able to write any blog posts. As much as I love writing and enjoy it, it is still very time-consuming and hard, especially if you write in a language other than your mother tongue, But more on this, later!

After almost forty days of reading, writing, editing and brainstorming, I finished the first draft that I am planning to publish, hopefully as soon as possible. After finishing the first draft it is always a good idea to have someone review it and put in theirs insights, this will make your writing a solid work. Currently, I am in the same situation. It is academic life, It can be demanding but I still like it.

My upcoming piece will be an interesting work with a different view of an ancient site in northwestern Iran, I am not going to spoil it and as soon as it passes through the peer-review hurdles, I will share it in a post. 

...And on writing in another language

As a Kurdish ethnic, I had to learn Farsi as my second language since my education was forced to be in Persian with no option to study in my mother tongue; therefore, English is actually my fourth language because I learned Azeri at a very young age before even learning English. I am somehow lucky that I can say I am a polyglot! Aren't I?
