Hello Charles,
That's interesting and I strongly believe its all about who you are dealing with. If they are happy about you correcting their grammar etc, It should be alright or I wouldn't go ahead for anything since some consider it soaked in and plain rude. People find you edgy and might move away. My piece of advice would be to just leave them a personal note.
Also, the straight-line perception of a writer being perfect in their grammar/spelling/punctuation and any other factor that pertains to English language is highly and rarely expected. Being a writer and author of three books, I write and write and don't really see the need to be so perfect; That might sometimes add up to the essence of losing it all.
That doesn't mean we end up releasing a book full of errors. If a book is out in the market with some errors, it could be because of editing issues, financial feasibility and other personal factors of negligence and in spite of perfect combination of all of these, yet we might not have a perfect book because the writer would have concentrated more on the words he/she is using rather than the accuracy or whatever.
Charles, Thank you for reviewing my first poetry book. I never felt criticised when you mentioned about the errors that popped up. Well, We have got to deal with them and try to rectify.
Merry Christmas & Happy new year..
Luv

Hello Sumedha,
Part of growing up and impact of my neighbors, friends and family inspired the beginning of my journey as a writer, I must admit.
My Granny always talked about my Grandfather’s books. His work is purely based on the eternal bond with God. I believe the urge to write and the love for books, the classic characters is influence of some of those books I read while growing up. That helped me carve my notions into a poetic language and make the readers think. I realized the potential and showed some signs every now and then during the Poetry Competitions or the essay writing and so on while I was at school.

Another short book of poems about 30 of them will find their way to take you all for a ride of fantasy filled with love, grief, nature & loss. The theme remains the same in similarity with the first poetry book this being a sequel.

I tend to work my way with my mind to relax by taking a walk or cup of tea; That should do the trick. I start fresh after a while.

Truly, I am one of those at the beginning stage of a writing spectrum and long way ahead. One piece of advice - "Hurl and sway the words and just believe in your stories";
