The writing mechanism that I follow is one of the most famous international methods called ‘Save The Cat Method,’ which depends on dividing the composition of the novel into main points. Moreover, some electronic applications help me organize my ideas and ensure the correct sequence of events in the novel while writing, and (I) refer to them before the proofreading stage.” Al-Hazmi thanked the government for supporting artists in the country. Her father Hussain Al-Hazmi is proud of her achievements. “Getting this title is one of the most important awards she has received, and I am very happy for her that she has been able to reach her goals and make her dream come true.”
