When it comes to 'Rewrite the Stars' fanfiction, a great way to start is by focusing on the emotions of the characters. You could rewrite it from a different character's perspective. Say, if the original focused on the male lead's view, rewrite it from the female lead's. This can give a fresh take on the relationship and the story as a whole.
Beginners should know about different sub - genres within fantasy. There's high fantasy which often has an entirely new world like in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Then there's urban fantasy which is set in a modern, real - world city but with fantasy elements. Also, they need to be aware of the character archetypes such as the hero, the mentor, and the villain which are often present in fantasy novels.
One key element is skill. If you're a freelancer, say a programmer, being highly skilled in multiple programming languages will attract more clients. Another is reliability. Meeting deadlines and being available when clients need you. For example, a freelance graphic designer who always delivers on time. Also, marketing oneself. A freelance writer who promotes her work on social media is more likely to get noticed.
One common element is a strong skill set. Freelancers need to be really good at what they do. For example, a successful freelance photographer has to have great technical skills in using the camera and editing software.
You can start by exploring popular and well - received graphic novels like 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman. It's a great introduction as it tells a powerful and important story. Another good starting point is 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi which offers a unique perspective on growing up in a particular cultural and political context.
