It's
seven in the morning at an Aroma coffee shop in Tel Aviv. There I am, typing on
my laptop while drinking my cappuccino. Ignoring the other customers, the grinding
of coffee beans, and the hiss of milk being steamed, I concentrate on my writing.
Short stories. That's what I'm writing these days.
My three
mornings a week at Aroma are when I'm the most productive. Ideas stream onto my screen and I write, revise, edit, improve. 2022 was quite a successful
year for me. Eleven of my stories were published. Another 3 are scheduled to be
published in early 2023.
Looking
ahead into the new year I am very excited, very optimistic. I hope each of my
stories will find a good place to be published, but more than that, I am hopeful
that Rakiya, my collection of short stories set in Bulgaria, will be published
in 2023.
I'm proud of what I accomplished in 2022. Here are my writing statistics
