Step 7: Keep your eyes and ears open Langkah ke7 selalu memerhati dan mendengar

Step 7...is to  keep your eyes open and your ears finely tuned to gossips!!! Ha ha , no, not exactly gossips, I am not asking you to butt your nose into everybody's business, but to be like a journalist who has his ears trained on every bit of juicy tidbits, and his eyes peeled for eye candy!! A reporter who is the first to give breaking news will get the scoop.(Think Perez Hilton, or nearer home Beautiful Nara...they garner a lot of viewership to their blogs because they are the first to divulge juicy gossips, mostly about celebrities).

Short of rummaging into dustbins for news that people throw away, you can get stories everywhere.  You can even fabricate stories and fictionalise people's names so as not to pin point on anyone!!

Or you can draw on your own wealth of experience and knowledge to create great stories. Or get your friends, teachers, parents and grandparents to tell their stories.  Use these as anecdotes to spice up your writing.

Failing that, use your own fertile imagination!!! Just write, WRITE!!!

Langkah ke 7 ialah selalu peka tentang apa yang berlaku di sekeliling anda supaya dapat menulis cerita yang menarik.  Anda juga boleh dengar cerita dari kawan, ibubapa dan nenek datuk, merek pasti ada lebih pengalaman dan cerita!!1
