about me

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. My passion is to write, my enjoyment is to read, and my spare time is to create. I am a writer of Poetry, Creative Writing and Non Fiction.

I love culture, languages, people, reaching for the impossible and seeing it unravel. I love to laugh and I giggle heaps. I'm determined, passionate and very stubborn in many areas, however, I truly love to see people achieve the best of their ability and I adore watching someone succeed when others have said "it can't be done."

I'm somewhat an activist when it comes to injustices. I loathe injustice and will fight to the very core of my being when injustice rears its ugly head.

My most favourite quote, and one that I've lived for and practiced for so many years is "Before the reality comes the DREAM"

PLEASE NOTE:

*** I do not accept Spam.
***I do not do friends on Authonomy due to my News Feed getting too overloaded with information that I really do not need to know about.
***I desire to encourage all writers and support any fellow writer no matter what genre they write in. Writing is a most difficult field to succeed in, and I believe we as Writers, should all be spurring each other on, not pulling each other down to the level of being a dog eat dog industry.
***I try to read a book a month, it's so difficult with my very hectic lifestyle. I do alot of reading for research especially, therefore, I aim to also slot in a book from Authonomy.
***Those books that I back usually stay on my profile for 4-8 weeks.
***My main objective is to be entirely fair to all of the aspiring Authors on this website.

Salwa grew up with her father habitually reading books of Arabic poetry and reciting them aloud. In 1980, the family moved from New Zealand to Australia. This is where Salwa's journey of writings began.
Lebanon, a land of intense and passionate Poets and a nature that echos an invitation to any Poet, to sit and hear what this ancient land has to share, through words of her own, is a future longing.

As a Writer, of both Non Fiction, and Creative writing, Salwa is most passionate about Poetry and prefers to label her writings as - Writing Pieces rather than Poems/Poetry for the specific rationale that these writings are pieces that reflect nature, emotions, sentiment, and experiences of the human body, mind, and spirit.
There exists a wide collection of Salwa's Writing Pieces.
