Nabila Usman -
..…I believe that to become a successful writer, one must first be a good reader. So the more you read the better writer you will become………
…….When it comes to my personal writing interests, I usually work best in a calm ambiance with fewer people. At other times, all I need is "inspiration" to get my words flowing. I feel blessed because once I get an inspiration from anything and start writing, I don't care about my ambiance and it just happens naturally
that I seclude myself from my surroundings and all that remains are my words……….
……..it is very important to keep writing everyday even if it is just one paragraph………
……..I believe that time management; inspiration and commitment will help any aspiring writer succeed in
their writing goals.'
Nadia Hakkou - Nadia was born in Morocco but now lives in Northern Ireland. She has written a book,
