Understand why they do the things that they do, what is the situation that brought them to the now, and where will they go from here. Learn from books and characters, see how scenes are made in films - each scene has to tell a story, just like each page in the book. Be as observant as possible, around you are stories in everything. Be it an object or a the sadness on a person's face. (less)

Quotes by Umair Naeem  (?)

“This was the Karachi now – barbed wires protecting consulates, the pretentious covering themselves with faces of those who were hiding behind those barbed wires. This was Karachi – gaudy and luxurious, with a façade of glamor, ignoring the truth underneath. But Sophie was no cynic, and still loved the city she had returned to. ‘You can’t hate what’s yours,’ she smiled to herself.”
Umair Naeem, Drowning Shadows

“I really love this city. It’s so very beautiful. It’s so multidimensional.People say it has a darkness and a decadence, which it tries to hide; they say it’s full of the pretentious and opulent trying to strangle the dark reality. But that’s true for most of the other great cities too. . . .
There is a soul here . . . and that soul is as pure as the heat of the sun that shines down on it and the rain that falls to purify it.”
Umair Naeem, Drowning Shadows

“Worry looks back, Hope looks forward, but Faith always looks up.”
Umair Naeem, Drowning Shadows
