What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Nrupal Das Just write. Pick up the topics that excites you and just start writing about it. Do not worry what is selling in market. Never do that. Write what you…moreJust write. Pick up the topics that excites you and just start writing about it. Do not worry what is selling in market. Never do that. Write what you truly believe in, something that wants to be told.

Do not be afraid of mistakes or criticism. Everyone has scope of improvement. So you are no different, neither less than anyone.

Just let your thoughts flow into your writing. Edit like crazy.

I write decent but I am such a poor editor of my work, that I just hate myself for that. I guess everyone should edit their work carefully and remove all the errors that creep in while you are writing your first or second draft. (less)

To visualize things and then be able to say exactly what you want to say in the best possible manner, it is a real joy.

Every writer once in a while gets that 'flow'. A state, in which he is able to see, think and write in a smooth, flawless flow. Whenever a writer gets that it is pure joy. I don't think anything can be as sweet as that time with your thoughts and writing other than perhaps when you are in love.

Characters in my plot

When I started writing short stories I held this notion for a very long time that since it is a 'short' story, I do not have time to build a character. So, by default almost all my short stories were plot driven.

Personal Bias

I thought I was taking a very conscious decision based on my capability and the personal bias towards great plots. I tried a couple of times to weave great characters into my Read more of this blog post »
