Asalam alaikum everyone, :SMILY259:

I'm writing a story about a Muslim girl, named Haneen. :shymuslima1: Some of you may have heard of her a while ago, but I'm not here tp argue, I just want some help please. Well, so far, I've been working on developing the characters' personalities and and the setting and the theme. Sighs, I'm having trouble putting together the plot and everything inshallah. :girl3:
I hope I didn't confuse anyone. Any good advice would be greatly appreciated inshallah. Thanks.

Asalam alaikum Zaii and everyone, :SMILY259:

I want the genre to be romance and drama inshallah. :SMILY126:

The story line? Ummm.... I dunno yet hehe... :redface:

Well, so far, all I have is Haneen is a revert Muslimah and wants to learn more about her Deen but is afraid of her non-Muslim friends finding out about her secret but Maram becomes her best friend... :shymuslima1:

I know, the readers want a better story than this, I'll work harder inshallah...sorry. :(

Ok MashaAllah. I was thinking maybe first you can say how Haneen becomes aware of Islam and why she reverts?

Awww hehe I was trying to write about Haneen's journey to Islam inshallah :biggrin:

Haneen read some books about Islam after she met Maram whent hey were both 14 mashaAllah. Haneen just moved to town about two weeks prior to meeting Maram, and the girls met at the mall spent the next afternoon at the local street market, chatting. :)

Then... at least tell me how your family reacted to your conversion? Maybe Haneen's situation can be similiar or something inshallah. :girl3:

I really want to get the story complete before the end of the year inshallah so it can be ready when I graduate from college and get into animation... then I can get things started inshallah. :)
