New and exciting things

I said I was back and I meant it! I have some new and (hopefully) exciting content that I look forward to sharing with you. In this post, I’m just going to introduce the new content categories I will be adding here and how you can easily access the content of your choice with some new indexing features I’ve put in.

I’ve decided to expand the scope of this work in progress and use to consolidate the content I’ve been creating on other platforms. From now on, this blog will house posts in 3 categories:

  1. Middle East and Arabic – What you’ve been seeing so far, posts mainly focused on Arabic language learning and on sharing cultural insights.
  2. Creative writing – This category will house short stories and poems I write, mostly unrelated to the previous category.
  3. General – Posts like this one, 

To make it easy for you to navigate these different categories, all posts will be tagged and categorized respectively. You can click on the tag on an individual post or use the navigation bar at the top of every page on the website to access all the posts in a specific category.

On top of that, I’ve created an Instagram account @roaminglightning and I’ll be posting videos filmed by me and narrated by me in what I try to pass off as colloquial Arabic.
These videos are mostly being filmed at the Vermont resort at which I work seasonally (if you’re not already familiar with it, check it out at www.basinharbor.com) and around it, to share my experiences in the United States with my Arabic-speaking friends. If you’re interested in seeing the amazing natural beauty of Vermont and hearing Arabic (albeit with occasional mistakes and my accent), check it out! 
Please note that the account is private so you will need to send me a follow request.

That’s it for now, I’m off to upload some more content!
