There are many ways into writing, but a good place to start is being a good reader. Pay attention to what you enjoy reading; if you're really not into a particular genre, you probably don't want to write in it. It's good to know what styles of writing you feel drawn to, then practise... and practise ... and practise. That is, write even when you're not sure you'll have an audience.
Writing is experimentation. It is playing with ideas and asking questions. The more you write, the more you will know what feels really challenging to find flow in, and what comes more naturally to you.
You can also take creative writing courses, which can help with writing styles, format, structure and voice.
I hope this helps. :)(less)

of nationalism, orientalism, globalisation and post colonialism to illustrate a 'unity' of two worlds. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions for my doco, I am so curious as to what you think about this topic - maybe go for a coffee sometime this week? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much. Warmth, Dina

Amal Awad Thank you so much, Dina. I have sent you a private message. :)

Quotes by Amal Awad (?)

“I’m with equality. If that’s how you want to talk to me, that’s how I’m going to talk to you.”

“I don’t think I expect much from the world, until Palestinian interests align with superpowers' interests, we are not going to get much. So, focus on the little things, what can I as a person do? How can I change somebody’s life? How can I influence somebody’s perception of who Palestinians are? What we are all about?”
