It is extremely hot these days. I mean, it is worse than May, which is supposed to be the hottest. It rained daily for the first two weeks of July. But for past ten days, it is either dry or very little rain. The weather is humid and suffocating. It is extra difficult for me…
Category: Just Saying
I am a fairly opinionated person, but people request me to not be honest. I still need a place to voice my opinions, don’t I? These posts are primarily for venting out the frustration. Occasionally, I may share joyous and pleasant news, too.
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w28
This week, I slowed down. Seriously, I put in effort to slow down. I read only two books. I tried reading new authors – both were surprisingly nice. I still crochet one round at a time. Yet again, I am overwhelmed with the number of ideas floating in my head, so much that I cannot…
Do short stories work?
As a reader, I love short stories. As a writer, I find it difficult to write. As an opinionated person, I also feel that there are few, very few people who like reading short stories. I have a series of one star reviews owing simply to the fact that the reader wants a longer story. It makes me…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w27
The week was crazy. I read around thirty stories of varying length. Some, I have reviewed. Some are pending. Some did not leave any impression and therefore will not be reviewed. My birthday is nearing and I still haven’t worked on the final draft of the novel I wanted to publish on my birthday. I…
12th July 2019: A Day To Remember
So, finally, my blog hits 15000 mark – in terms of visits, of course. It is no big deal, I know. It cannot be called a successful blog. But it was something I was secretly waiting for. There was another thing I dreaded – a day when my KDP report falls flat. It did. In…
Book Promotion: MAYBE, SOMEDAY (Happily Ever Afters #8)
Introduction: Maybe Someday, was just an idea that popped in my head on a fine Saturday afternoon. Weekends are generally finish-your-weekly-chores routine; aided by a constant stream of thoughts reminiscing past. I recalled my visit to Qamar Ali Durvesh shrine with my family. One thought led to other and a week later, I was…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w26
Achhuuuu… I got flu last Friday and still haven’t recovered. Coming to office with dripping nose and watery eyes is not fun, trust me. Work was okay. I had a demo this week and it went well. I have read a lot this week, especially yesterday. I started an English novel The Captive by M V…
I want to thank my readers
It feels great when people leave rating and reviews on Amazon / Goodreads. It tells me that people are reading my book, which is what a writer wants. Recently, I noticed two incredibly kind souls reading and rating my book on GR, mine being the first book they’ve read in their GR journey. I…
Maybe, Someday (Happily Ever Afters #8)
After a year of continuous increase in the royalty, I have observed a sudden drop. What am I missing? I write just as much. I have a number of books already on Amazon. Right, I am missing on the biggest and most important part of being a writer – marketing and promotion. My last post…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w25
The monsoon begins and so does the phase of lethargy. I mean, I just don’t want to step out of my bed, let alone stepping out and coming to office. Argh! I don’t have that luxury, though. I envy those who work from home. I wish I had some other profession that required staying in…
