    Wow Sis... your house looks just awesome... the pics have come out really well... the first two pics of the keys and key and door though looks like a simple pic has a much underlying meaning to it... key ( your courage and will power ) and door ( the way to freedom that opens with your courage and will power ).

    I am sure you are enjoying doing up your new place.... have a good life there!! :-)

    You got it right regarding the first 2 photos. That was exactly what I was thinking when I read the quote. We think so alike! :D

Editing Woes: First ever snippet of "Always You"

Image
My weekend was spent editing. So much of editing and all that I could do was worry. Worry if anyone would like my book. Worry if it is worth putting out there for readers. Worry if I have given my best. It also brought with it a hope that it will be better. As I worked through the chapters, there was one particular part that got me all teary. I wanted to share with you all a snippet of my upcoming novel - Memories Rustle. It might not be the next bestseller, but it is special to me. I hope you enjoy this. And later, when the time comes, I hope you would also join Lyla's journey down the memory lane. He stood in front of her resigned, taking in the lovely face he had hurt deeply. He watched as another big tear rolled down her cheek, leaving a trail of gleam on her smooth skin. He instinctively caught the tear midway with his thumb and first finger.  Lyla shivered lightly with shock under his touch. She did not stop him when he came closer, feeling his body touching her...

Snowstorm, NaNoWriMo and My Throbbing Toe!

A lot of you must have observed that I haven't really posted much in the last couple of weeks. I have been caught up in lot of things at once and I am so lucky and grateful that I had some wonderful authors and books to keep you all entertained. But in spite of all the work I had, I have missed blogging. I missed blogging terribly because it is a wonderful way I get to share my thoughts and writing with you all. Add to it the fact that I haven't had much time to read as well. It was, in short, a dry spell in my life. Below are just a few things that got me off the blog: 1. Snowstorm in NJ - This has the biggest impact on my online life. We did not have power till this wednesday and it affected a lot in terms of my writing and blogging. It sucked but I am glad everything is back to normal now. My first snow fall indeed became quite memorable. Pun intended! 2. NaNoWriMo - Despite my decision to not participate, I ended up participating. This can be owed to a brainstorm I ...

Your Readers Are Not Stupid

Image
Ever felt a book was bad? Why do you think it was bad? It had spelling errors. It had grammatical errors. The characters acted weird all of a sudden. The plot had holes. The story jumped its way to the end.  The location/profession/etc. was absolutely nonsensical.  A few of the many reasons why readers shun a book, and finally an author.  If you want your book to sell well, remembering this one thing would help you write better: My Readers Are Not Stupid. They Pay For My Book Because They Think It's Worth It.  Prove it.  Make full use of the spell & grammar checker. Hire a professional proofreader/editor. Talk to your characters. Make them real with real reactions. Get your book beta-read to identify plot holes that you might have missed.  Do your research. Talk to people. Don't just google. Last but not the least, revise it as many times as possible till it has the same quality that your favorite book ha...
