The best thing about being a writer is that you get to spend a lot of time with the voices in your head and heart. This profession gives those thoughts a medium of expression that is lucid, and can reach a bigger audience, without you really having to talk. :)

The concept of writer's block is as much man-made as the concrete houses we live in. The idea is to sit to write only after you have primed yourself up about the topic you are going to elaborate on. Writer's block, if exists, is only a way to tell us that we need more information than we have; so keep looking for idea igniters till you feel you are ready to write.

I think this will resonate with most readers - number one on the list would be the fictitious magical world of Harry Potter, and number two would be meeting Howard Roark, the lead character of Ayn Rand's Fountainhead. He has had a definite lasting impression on me for the values he holds.

Don't wait for inspiration to strike, plan your day, make writing a part of our routine and be consistent at it. If you show up at the table, I bet no one, not even you can stop you from writing that book. :)

Psychology and the human mind are two of my favourite subjects - and my next is also going to be about another aspect of how the mind works, but with a partner :) Stay tuned to know more.

I waited for a long time for 'inspiration to strike'. But over time I realised, that unless I make up my mind and mood to write, it's not going to happen. Inspiration strikes during the process of actually writing. So, in a nutshell, show up at the table and keep going at those pages.

I have been intrigued by the idea of human confidence since a long time; of how some very talented people are low in confidence, while others who may not perform very well are still confident most times. I wanted to understand - can we self-generate confidence; and if yes, how. The result of this brainstorming and research was - Bedazzle. :)
