    Begin to write(inspiration)

    Writing it self is the art of expression. An art people create from various aspect of there lives. Yet People can get inspiration from any thing in life. For some people its: the sun others life, love, death it depends on the person. You must try to express what you feel and add part of your own personality to your work even is it’s a crazy idea or it doesn’t make sense at the time, be creative be unique, abstract, simple, fun , crazy, innovative with your work. Don’t add barriers to your own mind. Literature is all around the world so, your writing dose not have to be done in English. Write in the language you are familiar with. (Do not use a translator if you only know one language.)

    Critiques

    When you are writing a critique ALWAYS take into account that it is the authors’ form of expression. Don’t harsh on them if it doesn’t make sense at the time: ask questions, make suggestions, and use constructive criticism. Let the author know what you think about their work. Point out pieces you liked, if they were able to portray a certain emotion, and if it kept your attention. Let the author know what you thought was going to happen. REMEMBER; that even though you may not agree with what they say, its there work not yours. One piece of writing dose not mean that is how the author is, various emotions appear within writing and the work may be packed with them or simply have none. Do not make direct assumptions from one piece of work.
