The Curse of the Bedouin Woman: An Original Story In Jordanian Arabic

Marhaba!

I thought I would share a story I wrote a few years ago when I was still studying in Jordan.

I had a week break from lessons (I think it was the Eid Adha holiday) and decided to complete a story that I had started in class. I remembered buying a sketchbook and a set of colour pencils from the bookshop, and spending the entire week refining the storyline as well as drawing the illustrations.

The book was then given to my teacher as a gift. And I recently found the video that I took of the book when I had just completed it…

I’ve taken screenshots of each page, edited the story for errors and now here it is….I hope you’ll enjoy reading it! 🙂

Keep Running: #01 Petra is Home

This is the first post of a series titled Keep Running [ضل اركض – dhol orkod]. Words are written by me. Many thanks to Diana and Rasheed for proofreading and editing it, as well as Yousef for providing an audio recording of the story. You guys rock 😎

I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
