Shrouk Ali Youssef From Helwan, Cairo
She is 25 years old Graduated from the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Architecture .
She's the author of the book "Lin"
She loves art, architecture and writing
She loved poetry very much when she was young and she used to write a lot in school and she was still learning what it means to understand the expression of words
She grows up and started reading a lot and loved books, especially the old books by Tawfiq al-Hakim, al-Abnoudi and Naguib Mahfouz.
And she really loves Ahmed Khaled Tawfik
With the crowds of the world and the pressures, she stopped writing for a long time, especially in secondary school. Anything she wrote was recorded between her and herself in a small note.
The beginning of her love for literature in general, and she knows what it means , what literature was from poetry. She loves poetry, but her joy is like that, she does not know how to receive it, and her book is an ordinary novel .
The first time she knows what her writing means, it was through poetry
She was attracting her attention, playing with words to bring out their meaning and sweet rhythm that enters the heart and mind
And she spent a long time not writing or writing simple thoughts and not saying until she entered a university that her friends began to encourage her She went to the book fair, got books, was encouraged, and started writing again and began participating in literary competitions and won in them and participated in books collected from them:
"Mirilia", "Mirandos", "Stories of Shogun" and "Shining Emeralds".
And in her last work and her first solo book, " Lin"
And she tried to look into it with all her energy, and she was very tired in it
And she is satisfied with every thing that has passed, and she let her reach this stage and look at this book, which is the result of every sweet thing that one may wish to deliver.
Shrouk adds that she finished her book in 5 months, and she was at the time of her graduation project, working and studying, and she had her own business. And the book is accepted, saved, and spread too
So, thanks to our Lord and His help, she was able to do a good thing that she is proud of and is very satisfied with any result she achieved. The important thing is that one was striving and doing what he had to do.
And as for the house, it responded with acceptance, and it was a month before the exhibition, she could not believe herself, and she did not know whether it would catch up or not, a time to complete or wait! Many questions came to her mind, and she was hesitant and very afraid. Within two days, she finished the cover and all the details by publishing. Within a week, the book was in the exhibition and the bookstores did not know how she was able to finish it in such a short period, but all she is sure of is that it is generous. And the measures of our Lord
So many things, and they all came out of no order.
And why did you choose that name, "Lin"?
Because the first thing we think about, whether we are going through a situation of a beast or distress, is that we wish to see mercy from our Lord and the “softness” from the hearts of the people around us. Don't be in a struggle and lose hope and think that our Lord created the atmosphere of your heart like this a small plant capable of moving you from again and it is "soft hearts"
The thing that was always worried about her is her fear, tension and tight time, and she has 100 things to do, and the first time she writes something alone and she is not known, and a question always asks her, to complete or nothing!
Her self-confidence was shaky this time
But she came to the other and said, What is the problem when I fail? Pray for me to learn and I will not lose anything .
Her mother is the one who encouraged her the most and was always supportive.
She hopes that she will reach a certain point that will make her satisfied with herself and satisfied with everything she has reached, and she will remain a great writer.
And her big dream that she is fulfill to won the Nobel Prize in literature.
