Welcome to my writer’s blog
A notebook of thoughts, inspiration and ideas, collected by me, Huma Qureshi
A library of my writing thoughts and inspiration; everything I love and that fills my well of creativity. Here, I post film and book reviews, share my love of interiors and write personal essays about my writing process and everyday life. I also go behind the scenes as a published writer, sharing my experience of writing short stories, memoir and novel writing, and offering my writing advice.
Dear Huma: who reads your drafts?
I sent my work out for feedback but everyone had different opinions and I got so confused. Who reads your drafts?
Dear Huma: do you ‘plot’ a short story?
I’m struggling with writing short story endings. Do you ‘plot’ your short stories? How do you end them in a satisfactory way?
Dear Huma: what do you find yourself reaching for when things feel overwhelming or tearful?
When life feels stressful, how do you begin to feel like yourself again?
Dear Huma: has the process of renovating your house affected your writing?
How does a change of environment affect your writing?
