Rabiah Hussain on writing

Quote of the day: “So much about language can be instinctive. I know for me, when writing, first comes the basic idea, then the feeling I want to convey, and the language patterns respond to that. And that is why Word-Play doesn’t adopt linear storytelling with extensive character backstories. Instead, we sit in the spaces in-between. Where language can be unpacked and the feeling of words can weave their way through the various scenes.” (Rabiah Hussain’s ‘Introduction’ to her Word-Play)
