Could you give me some tips on how to finish a novel? In the middle of writing about 20pages, i end up thinking this isn't good to be finished, any advice?
As-salamu Alaykum, Sr. Aisha,
Thank you for posting a question. I have posted a response in Question #3 above (Writing a Novel to Completion).
Asalaamualaikum,
Can you suggest any site or resource for guidance on creating a 'writing-related CV'.
Also, when approaching a new writing market with queries, should i include details & ref. to 'all' of my writings to-date or only a few or relevent ones?
Thankyou
Writer's Block??
What are some good tips to getting back into the writing game? I have a few stories that I have not been able to complete. I'm not sure if it's psychological or what, but I would really like to get past this block I'm having. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
Peace
As salam alaykuim:
I wanted to know does someone need a degree or classes in journalism to obtain a position as a writer ? A freelancer I assume would just try to get a "gig" by trying and trying. What do you suggest for getting started?
As-salamu Alaykum,
I have posted a response to the last question about degrees in Question #14 above. Thank you to those who have posted questions. Although some are more than a year old, I will do my best to respond to these in the near future.
