I started sharing my work through my blog in 2016. But, I've maintained a diary since I was eight when for the first time my dad asked me to write about a birthday party I attended. I did not like that I had been asked to but having written it, I never stopped keeping a diary. I've enjoyed weaving tales in my head.
There are stories all around us. The difficult part is knowing which ones to put together and in a way that makes readers want to read the book. It might strange to some people but I also find it difficult to name my characters.
A good cover is important because it's what you see first. It should appeal to the eyes. A good title is equally important- it should evoke emotions in the reader and make him curious to read the book.
Yes, I have. I think all writers do that. They borrow from their lives or that of somebody they know. Bits of me may invariably find its way into one or more of my characters.
I'm not sure. One of my reviewers said that my writing reminded her of a Jane Austen novel. Another said, Jhumpa Lahiri. I admire both these writers very much. I have a long way to go but it feels good to hear someone say my writing made them think of these authors.
