Sheeza Iqbal I don't know how to define writer's block. Sometimes, I think I have it but I'm not so sure.

Whenever I feel like I can't find the right words or I can't see the next scene, I take a break. I watch TV, I stalk people online, I binge eat and I scribble in my journal. Eventually, the clouds clear and my characters are ready to go!

Sheeza Iqbal I wanted to write a book that was different, not just different in terms of its world, but different with it's characters. One night, I was doing the usual, sitting in bed, eating chips and watching Netflix, when I saw this brown girl flash in my mind.

Seven months later I was holding the first draft of The Sky Realm in my hands!
