Biju P.R. No one is interested in reading your first person narratives if it is not used to tell other people's stories. The best mystery in your life is how you relate your life with other people's life. Then everything is a story.

And anything you tell with love can be a good book plot from your life.
Biju P.R. Ever since I started reading, I have seen that this question being asked to almost all writers. From the known to the unknown. I also knew that most of them had almost the same answer. Some bigwigs! Hemingway, J.M. Coetzee, Orhan Pamuk, Zadie Smith, Salman Rushdie, Samuel Beckett, Joseph Conrad, Margaret Atwood, Aravind Adiga, Haruki Murakami, Thomas Mann and the list goes up. I have tried to read all of them. Many times. Had attempted to read them many times but stopped after few pages. But failed. I wasn’t able to understand them. It required labored reading.

But I too never preferred the likes of Chetan Bhagat, Amish Tripathi, Sudeep Nagarkar, Ravinder Singh.

So I prefer anything in between. Simple language. Simple vocabulary. Great idea. Anything that can relate with life. Serious also! Any writer who falls in this category is my favourite writer.

I think I have convinced you.
Biju P.R. I read a lot when I come across writer's block.
Biju P.R. A writer is an emotional creature. More sensitive. More committed. Writers' emotions are presented in words. It has power.
Biju P.R. Write and try till you get published. No easy way.
Biju P.R. I am currently working on Lovescape: Why India is afraid of Love?.

A narrative nonfiction, Lovescape explores into how lovephobia prevails in India and how body control takes place through a culturescape. These are concepts I am developing to narrate Lovescape.
Biju P.R. Writing is a lonely affair. I get inspiration when I read and discuss with small circle of people I love the most.
