Desperate in Dubai - The Novel


ghostwriter [color=darkblue]Hey everyone...
Recently, I started writing my own novel that depicts life in Dubai - as I know it anyway... I'd love to get your feedback on it! I can't post any links apparently, so please Google Desperate in Dubai and check out the blog. I really will apprecite all feedback - and looking for constructive criticism from other writers as well!
Thank you in advance![/color]
RobbyG Hey novel lady, I just read the first five chapters of your novel-like writings and I must say its a nice and eloquent read! In fact, I can't wait for the next chapter, but my personal desperation says: tomorrow is another day. I will try to put some constructive criticism out on your blog for you to consider. Until now, I don't have any...yet ;) Goodnight! Misery Called Life The narration is simply brilliant. At times I find it a little too feminine for my tastes, but it's the characters that make my imagination run wild. Me thinks you need to add a man or two to ur desperates(I'm sure you've known many an interesting man :wink: ). That would definately complete the picture. On the whole, Very Enjoyable! qdabdul damn the lebanese - running after men and women is their national past time ghostwriter Thanks for your feedback!! Haven't considered adding male desperates.... Seeing as you guys are from Mars and all that, don't think I can do the male species justice as yet! RobbyG
Are we really that bad huh? :lol: Bora Bora
Well RobbyG, if she ever considered it, I could certainly give her a good whiff about you!!! RobbyG
There you go, you blasted my character now 8) Misery Called Life
Sorry Rob, but neither are you scandelous nor mysterious nor decadent enough to be her muse :lol:
I'm surprised that Gossip Girl fan RC and in-house literary expert SH have not commented yet. Misery Called Life
Naa ur too talented to be bogged down by lame sterotypes. Find a male muse, wrte bout him galore and then use a spotter.......Watsay?
Say Ghost writer, Tell us more bout you? Like you in university right now?
As far as this blog goes, what are ur influences?

Oh boy, I don't know why it's here but he commented. Actually he is too old to remember the subject. You are probably to young. :wink: RobbyG
Good question MCL. I want to know more about this 'ghostwoman'.

Be nice Catalyst. Show some decency :lol: catalyst tell me whats wrong this time ?! RobbyG
Nothing, just playing with you ;) catalyst ok .. Just remember you started this ^___* Nice dearms >>>> ^__^ ghostwriter Lol, quite a little witty banter thing you guys have going on here :D You want to know more about me?? Why, when my characters are far more interesting? As for being 'kinda attractive' - how on earth would you know?! Misery Called Life
My fair lady, 'The lamborghini's great, but it's the driver I'm interested in'
Gotta say, I really dig your 'fly on the wall' style of narrating. It's immenesly intriguing how people around us mask their true personas. Ahh the mysteries of Dubai......continue fuelling my imagination ghost writer :D
Speedhump
Oho!!
The Commissar is probably into Samurai Girl now.... ghostwriter *blush* I don't know what to say... I'd rather talk about other people than myself. Chocoholic
Because there's a picture on your profile on your blogging page :roll: ghostwriter Ah...but that is not me. That is Lady Luxe :D Chocoholic That's pretty much what I thought. But you know the guys rond here, well, they're not so smart. ghostwriter Hehe, clearly!!! RobbyG
wtf...somebody gonna get a-hurt real bad, right Chocsy? :D RobbyG
You are new, so you are forgiven :D ;) ghostwriter Wow, been leaving me a lot of comments haven't you?? ;) Hurry up and sign up as a facebook fan...yalla! RobbyG
Sorry my lady, I don't intend to use Facebook.
I'm haram (gniff gniff) :lol: ghostwriter No Facebook?! *shock & horror* Well...to each their own... RobbyG
No facebook, but plenty of other social networking sites I do not intend to disclose publicly ;)
Each to their own 8) Misery Called Life
*holding hands up helplessly* We're just not technologically inclined.
We are the anti FB generation, besides I had to delete my profile(too many admirers) :lol:
So now ur just gonna have to divide ur time between ur other sites and dubai forums.
Pssst it's a conspiracy by Robby to have you all to himself here RobbyG
You are one slick fellow. :wink: Misery Called Life
I'm learning from the best :D RobbyG
haha wonderful :lol:
Tone the arrogance a bit down please. I didn't taught you that ;) :D ghostwriter Easy boys...! :o If you're not from the facebook generation, then methinks you're perhaps a tad too old to be vying after my attention?! :p Misery Called Life
How demanding...What a diva! :D
Say no more chapters until after Ramadan? Speedhump Hi children! Just caught this thread, some of us work for a living you know. I dipped in to the blog here and there, had quite a few chuckles at places and personality types well recognised. :D I'll give the link to my daughter, she's pretty high maintenance herself so she may get a kick out of it. Ghostwriter, good luck navigating the sub-teen testosterone on Dubai Forums. Mine is currently not on display.... ;) MCL, personally I love divas, just don't give them your credit card. :P RobbyG
Fat Samurai Girl you mean...
Speedhump Too much potato soup isn't always a good thing then....? Misery Called Life
Baba,
I was referring to Goldenboy and Mr Delicious characters in her blog? :lol: mehreen I love your writing. You sure are talented! Misery Called Life
She's currently working on her Houdini act :lol: ghostwriter
Excuse me.. I certainly am not :P I am taking a well-deserved Ramadan break thank you very much :P Speedhump On Chap.12 now and enjoying your direct and fresh style. An easy read. The male characters are a bit cardboad cutout; either for eye candy or vilification purposes only, but no matter, the woman's actions and motives are fun to read. Thanks. ghostwriter Thanks for the feedback Speedhump.. I agree with you about the male characters. Hopefully they will develop more over time :)
