The closest regional lounge to you would be Israel or Turkey. :( Last year, we had one or two people in Dubai, but I'm not aware of anyone else in Saudi.

Welcome! :) You can always hang out with us loner types here. :)

Yeah, I'm in Dubai....lonely writing in this city, but hopefully there are other wrimos ready to dive into a novel with me...let me know if you are!

Anyone know what their plot is going to be yet? I dont even have a genre yet!!!!

However, I'm leaning towards fantasy, we'll just have to watch and see where that takes me...

Anyway, good luck everyone!

where were you in saudi? i'm confused... do you miss it or not? i'm in jeddah -- i missed it so much in college that i decided to take a year off before grad school and come back. i'm actually writing about expat-ness (expat-icity? expat-ciousness?), and the particular breed of (mostly brown) girls who return after college abroad and basically sit around waiting to get married (clarification: i am NOT one of them). so its pseudo-fiction i guess, but i figure i gotta start somewhere...

yay for expats and third culture kids!

Orca, as much as you're welcome here, there is a region set up for Israel already, and there are over a hundred WriMos there.

I am from Saudi living abroad. Still unsure whether to write in Arabic or English.
Whatever it is, glad to see all Middle Easterners joinging. Wish you luck!

Cheers!

I'm in Abu Dhabi also. But I've only lived here for the last three weeks of June. I'll be here for a long time, though. So maybe the nightlife is out there in Abu Dhabi, but I think I doubt it hahaha.
