As a self-promoting team, we have to do everything we can to get the book to the attention of the audience we wish to target. Of course, this was different decades ago when you might have a publishing company involved in this, but the world of books has changed. Unless you are a big name you are going to be on your own for most of it and it can be intense. You need to have a well thought out plan and stick to it in order to get noticed. Flexibility is the key – always be ready to adapt to whatever comes your way. It will keep you pliable and ready for anything.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p3" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 5px 0px 5px 18px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 5px 0px 5px 18px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Q: </b>What do you do when you are not writing?</span></p><p class="p3" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 5px 0px 5px 18px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b></b><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 5px 0px 5px 18px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>D: </b>I play drums in a rock band whenever possible.

Some of my poetry was published, then I won some writing awards... later I took some career evaluation tests and writing kept coming up as a career option.

It took a while for us to determine which of us had a better knack for this task or that duty, and over time we just slid into our roles and did our best to support each other in any way we could. We learned to give each other space to do what needs to be done and to be gracious when one of us has personal challenges. We have regular, spontaneous meetings and brainstorming sessions.

We always proof each other’s work; it is amazing what one might miss that fresh eyes can catch. And with the graphic work, I always have a hard-nosed critic with a keen eye just upstairs from me to give an honest second opinion. What looks good to my eye after working on something for hours might be seen as too wordy or the wrong colour scheme.

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is not a normal book review , this has to be one of my most loved books.Swati has come up with a wonderful idea of making this photo book with a strong message.Suicide yes ; for some this is just another word but for some this word brings down shivers , people who have faced such situations or are in social surrounding of suicidal people know how hard it is.Life is precious and she has seen many ups and downs in her life too but she has gotten up stronger every time life has been hard to her and to come up with something like this to help people in need is a wonderful step for the society.The purpose of this book is very clear to help prevent suicide and help people understand the importance of life.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I first read the picture book I was simply amazed I actually had no idea that someone can turn her art into something so strong.I am in awe of her art and would like everyone to get an idea about the subject and contribute in what ever way one can.The book is nicely woven with strong emotions and has a smooth feel to it , the reader gets the actual idea just at the end but one can relate to as its easy to absorb.Not every book has to have a strong message but this one of its kind has a strong message and one can feel the situation and relate to it.And to make the book have the theme it should have its embedded with amazing photography.</span></span><span style="background-color: white;">Many many congratulations Swati for your new endeavor,</span><span style="background-color: white;">This is just speechless and heart touching.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>About me</b>: Hey.
I’d describe myself in three phrases – ‘gypsy soul’, ‘hopeless romantic ‘and a
typical ‘girlboss’. That pretty much sums up my personality.<br />
<b>About my blog:</b> This blog is a dream
project that is a means of creative expression and exploration. ‘Flexcia
Fashion & Lifestyle’ started off as a personal style, beauty and lifestyle
blog that serves as an on line visual diary of my day to day life. My social
media channels are an extension to the blog wherein I portray my perspective of
the beautiful world around me.<br />
<b>Hobbies:</b> I love exploring places,
reading, trying out food, experimenting in the kitchen and spending time at the
beach. <br />
<b>Aspirations:</b> I want to be great at
more than one things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

English was always my
favourite subject in school, and I loved writing essays and participate in essay
writing competitions. On a serious note, my writing journey began six years
ago. It was during my 12<sup>th</sup> grade that I started seriously writing to
get out of the exam stress (I was preparing for my Engineering entrance). After
that I somehow convinced my parents to not send me to an Engineering college
and they got me admitted in St Xavier’s College. So well, I joined my
Literature and Journalism course and specialised in Journalism three years
later. During my first year in college, we were encouraged to contribute
articles and feature stories to local newspapers and magazines. I had a lot of
unpublished work, plus writing came naturally to me. So I got published for the
first time five years back. And it never stopped. I freelanced with a lot of
publications for a bit, including The Times of India, Abraxas, etc. About
blogging; during my first year of college, we had a workshop on blogging. It
seemed so interesting and so much fun, that I started blogging from the very
same day. And it’s almost been five years since. Back then I didn’t know much
about blogging, but gradually I learnt the difference between fiction writing,
journalism, feature writing and digital writing. Last year I decided it was
about time I started blogging seriously. With help from my friends and
lecturers, I set up my blog <a href="http://www.flexcia.com/">www.flexcia.com</a>
and I blog about everything that interests me – fashion, beauty, food, travel,
lifestyle, entertainment, etc. It’s been a journey of eleven glorious months as
a blogger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3. What do you find
most challenging about blogging/writing about your topic?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Writing is always so much fun. There’s nothing really
challenging since I only write about topics that interest me. I believe, if I
myself don’t like something, I can’t produce an interesting piece. Until now,
most of my editors have given me the creative freedom and I absolutely love how
it helps me explore, understand and write.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the people you have met while working on your blog?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The blog has helped me connect with a lot of creative and
artistic people. I obviously can’t forget my virtual family (my followers on
Instagram, Facebook, Roposo, etc) who show me so much love through messages and
comments. I make it a point to meet people I connect with online if they seem
real and inspire me in some way. There are millions of people out there, but if
I can meet even a few passionate souls, it makes me happy. I also had this
little blogging project I did as part of my post graduate degree, where I
documented lives of interesting people I have met over the years. <a href="https://loversanddreamersblog.wordpress.com/">https://loversanddreamersblog.wordpress.com/</a> Also I meet a lot of celebrities and fellow
bloggers at events and launches.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Write. Keep writing. Read. Read anything and everything that
interests you. Stay motivated. Do something that motivates you to continue. That
being said, getting a thorough understanding of basics and key aspects of
blogging is important. I was fortunate enough to be learning it in college, but
if you aren’t a media student, find other ways to learn. There are a lot of
books on blogging. Pick those, and learn on your own. But know what you are up
to before you start. Have a plan. Know what you want to write about. But before
publishing, please learn to write and edit well. Also do thorough research
and have your facts in place. Don’t misguide people through your blog. Also
start a blog only if you are passionate about it. Don’t start blogging for fame
or money. Writing is beyond that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Time. If you can motivate even one person out there and put
a smile on someone’s face, it’s a great thing. The world is full of negativity.
If reading a blog is something that helps someone forget their worries and
stress, I feel it’s an amazing thing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I follow a lot of fashion, food and travel blogs. They’re
all so different and so amazing. But if I have to pick one, I love Miss Malini.
I love how she single-handily started a blog sitting in her bedroom, and now
has built a blogging empire and has an entire team working for her. This is how
she introduces herself and it is so inspiring since I have similar dreams and
like similar things. “<i>I moved to Bombay
in the millennium with 2 suitcases and a dream (and lived in a house with six
girls and a pigeon!). When I started this blog I had no idea that it would
become my universe. I just knew I liked to write, and that I had something to
say about everything that I loved. Bollywood, Fashion, Lifestyle & Pop
Culture. I also wanted people all over the world to stop assuming that India
was just what they were used to seeing on the Discovery Channel – Villages and
Slumdog Millionaire. My India was everything. Poverty and ache yes, but also
glamour and fashion, food and gossip, luxury and travel, love and music. And of
course, so many beautiful perfectly imperfect people…</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

About plagiarism, that’s the first lesson taught to me in media school and I

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The book Thousand Unspoken Thoughts is a collection of 50 sweet poems which are soothing on mind.Anyways I got this book from Prerna and I had literally no expectations as I only got to know her when I took her <a href="http://bloggerinterviews.blogspot.in/2016/04/blogger-interview-with-prerna-author-of.html" target="_blank">Interview for this blog.</a>Even after the interview I was not sure what to expect from this book.I personally like short fiction than poems but this book actually was so light on my mind that I finished it in one go only to later come back and re read the selective ones which I liked.But ,<span style="text-align: left;">Wow I have never come across a poem collection which is written by an armature who is using the skill of poem writing to show what she sees and how she sees and is actually an advocate by profession and yet written so sensitive in her poems.The poems are not heavy on mind and are refreshing.</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The poem collection moves from different perspectives of life and how the poet sees it.which you can connect with.The poems do look like someones debut poems but every word is constructed beautifully and has its own charm.The rhyme formation is simple and easy to understand and you feel like you connect with it someway or the other.Yes,there are emotions involved with each and every poem but they are light and you get a sense of what they imply.Some of my favorite lines are as below :</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1. Can you tell us a little about
yourself, your book, and your aspirations and your hobbies!!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hi,
my name is Prerna and I am currently pursuing my Masters in International
Business and Commercial Law at the University of Manchester. I began writing
when I was in school, but serious writing began when I was in college pursuing
my Undergraduate Degree in Law. Writing for me was a means of channeling my
thoughts as I read and thus, began the journey. When I started writing poetry,
I wasn’t writing it with an aim to publish it or make a collection out of it.
In that sense, I am a selfish write. I used to write for myself because writing
made me happy. Looking out for publishers and sending out my manuscript was an
impromptu decision, hoping that something might work out. I have been lucky
honestly that I one of such emails brought back a positive response and my
wonderful publishers, LeadStart Publishing, agreed to publish it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Besides
studying the law and writing poetry, I’m an avid reader and can read almost
anything. I’m a trained classical dancer, but have been out of touch with the
stage for the last 2-3 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2. How did you first get involved
in with writing, are you an imaginative person?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For
as long as I can remember, I’ve been a reader first and then a writer. My life
as a reader has helped me form a voice which helps me in writing. I think I
consider myself an imaginative person, and that has sprung from reading books
of various genres. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">3. How would (someone) describe
your writing style?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
think if people were to describe my writing style, they’d probably say that I
write with a moral. Probably kinds where everything falls into place in the
end, or that I just end my poems on a happy/positive note because personally I
believe that everything does have a happy ending or rather things do end
positively depending upon one’s perspective. I think since this is my debut, I
am yet to explore different styles and I don’t want to be restricted to a
specific style or a kind of writing that defines me, especially since this is
just the beginning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4. Where do you see yourself writing
wise in the next 6 months, and 5 years down the road?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
think as of today, I see myself working on my next book in the next six months.
I’m trying to understand the response of the readers, and simultaneously, trying
to venture into new opportunities. 5 years down the lane, I would probably expect
myself to have found a certain voice that I can associate myself with
confidently. I want try writing prose as well, and have a mind-map of how I
want things to go. I hope things work out as planned!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

newbie writers who want to make it in big?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
think hesitation and under-confidence is one of the biggest road-blocks for any
new writer. For any writer to eventually make it big, one must be willing to
get out of the closet and explore every opportunity that comes their way, even
if the smallest means of leaving a mark behind. I’d probably just say that
start small, take baby-steps every day and things will fall in place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a reader, what I look for is the feeling of being able to relate. A lot of people
find some amount of comfort in reading a particular writer’s book after having
read the first one they’ve written, that whatever they release their next book,
the readers pick it up being sure that they’ll like it. I want to be one such
writer where people reach out and say that they were able to relate to what I
have written I want to be able to form that bond with my readers and as a
writer, I want to be capable enough to give them that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
think every writer is exposed to both positive and negative reactions to their
books and that is something no one can avoid. Positive comments, obviously make
me very happy, but I don’t think I get provoked by negative comments that
easily. I wonder why has it been said, quite naturally, but I take that as a
stepping stone and work on the feedback given to me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

first book, “Thousand Unspoken Thoughts” and would like to thank each and every
reader out there for their immense support. I think the only thing I require as
a writer is support from my readers, and I hope as I experiment with different
styles, I receive the same kind of support and encouragement that I have
received with my debut. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am the author of illicitchrysalism.wordpress.in and go by Ritika. I
am from Ahmedabad and currently am slogging towards my 12<sup>th</sup> board

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
Always known to be a wordsmith, blogging had always been a milestone I
wished to mark. But I never really had the patience to sit through the entire
‘buiding your base’ process. Well all that until now when I actually set my
heart to doing it. And here I am.<o:p></o:p></div>

it actually is that way. It is very basic human emotions weaved into words to

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, I run foreverawkwardandlearning.wordpress.com, and my
first book, The Inability of Words, is out in 2016 with Writer's Workshop,
Calcutta. I'm currently pursuing my Masters in Public Policy from St. Xavier's
College, Mumbai, and I'm an aspiring civil servant. I also run a food blog on
Instagram, @foreverawkwardandeating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

phase of Facebook notes and WattPad before actually getting into blogging in
first year of college. It's been quite a rollercoaster. I've always been super
imaginative, so this was a great way to channelise it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3. What do you find
most challenging about blogging/writing about your topic?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I write poetry, so it's really easy to veer into pretentious
writing. Keeping it honest and real are definitely the biggest challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I actually haven't met too many people. My writing is pretty

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My book comes out in the next 6 months and I'm besides
myself with excitement! I have a few really cool projects lined up, and I'm
starting work on a novel. So it's going to be a busy, hectic time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">None, actually. I don't even tag my posts. All the traffic I

up with different articles/posts and they only have one blog.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hm, I read a lot. I keep observing things, and jotting them
down. I never, ever delete drafts. A giant post of average quality may have a
single spectacular idea that works. I've given two TEDx talks on the importance
of creativity, and I'll tell you what I tell everyone. Just keep writing. Keep
practising. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

strategy with your blog in general?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Nothing, per se. I write first for myself, then for everyone
else. I'm pretty sure that actually contributes a lot to my readership. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Be honest to yourself. Don't chase trends. Write what you
want to. It's only when you stop living up to standards that you create your
own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Write quality content that helps your readers and connect to them. A large

writer should not expect to make money immediately. Write as much as you can
and grow with the time. <br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“27th October was like a normal weekend. Danica was in Patna with her uncle’s family. Before going for her competitive exam, she had called up her mother (Aarti) who lived in Fatehpur in a joint family. They had a regular conversation and ended the call. Aarti said that she would call Danica after her exam, in the evening.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the evening Danica called her mom, but both her mobiles were switched off.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She called her aunt and was informed that Aarti had been missing since afternoon.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What happened to her? How can the thread that unites a family completely break with this sudden incident?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Does ending one’s life really end the problems?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Is giving up, the only solution to the problem?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A daughter and a mother. This is story of a life. You choose to live or to die.</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">About the book : </span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Swati in her debut novel has shared present state of women and how society looks at her when she is under some sort of critical phase in her life.She has written the book as her view of the society and is true to all extent.She has written simple English and is very easy to understand , the narration style uses picturesqueness and is amazing and you can actually feel what is written in the book.The book and plot is mildly paced and you feel no hurry in shifting from scenes.There is only a few scenes in the story where you feel you dont want so much details because you might know well in advance where it is heading.But overall you will be happy to finish the book.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am trying to avoid spoilers here but you wont be able to guess the protagonist very easily till the last part of the book.book. Swati has shown the pain a women has to go through.Swati is successful in giving the message at the end which she wanted to.The book talks about what society actually wants from a women and what she should follow.As a debut novel she has done a great work like simple English , not too much drama and detailed perspective on things.</span></div>

you have for newbie bloggers who want to make it in the blogosphere?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i> I want to say to all your readers that blogging
is not walking in a park You will get good and bad times .You will get
achievement in the event that you do diligent work . I don’t like people who start blogging for a
cause like they blog for some days and then stop blogging just because they
don’t get money and traffic ! why I mean why. You should </i><i>Focus
on your content rather than focusing on your traffic</i><i><span style="line-height: 115%;"> ! </span></i><i>So My advice to new bloggers is like don’t quit if you don’t get
traffic ! Start posting some quality stuffs and you will get a decent amount of
traffic . Remember This quote of mine You Should Blog to Express , Not To
Impress! … Even I started from zero ! Take a step forward everyday and you will
reach your destination ! You cant achieve anything in this world without
dedication ! And One more thing don’t get into some cheat sites claiming you
will get 1000sof $$$$ They can cheat you ! So my advice is to stay out of this
or you may land up into in some big problem ! so don’t be a victim of online
fraud or cheat … it will tempt you but don’t do it ! You should be punctual in
your work .Make a task list of your day’s work and work accordingly . Plan for
the best . Hope for the best . Don’t get upset if you are unsuccessful in driving traffic. Try hard and you will get
your success on your foots . Don’t be sad . I Hope Best wishes to new bloggers
and god favor them with everything their
needs ! If you need to clarify any doubts just pings me on facebook

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That’s a tough question indeed.I would prioritize
everything,because every element you listed plays an important role in every
different field,so if I pick up just SEO,that wont make any sense because if
you just do SEO without writing useful content then there would be no readers
or traffic .So I guess you should work on every element effectively <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As I said in question #11 ,Don’t blog for money. If you come
in blogosphere with the potential to earn easy money ,then you would go home
disappointed ,PS Personal experience .I will share my story here.I came into
blogging field to earn money,some people said it is the way to earn easy money
,just create a website,show ads and you will earn 1000$ I was very much
interested ,did this but didn’t earned for first 11 months.Then started
focusing on onpage seo ,quality content and then I was able to drive traffic
and making money , you will get money if you work hard and there is no one in
this world who will give u $$$$ without doing anything . So You will earn but
it will take time,and in the mean time if you don’t money ,don’t quit blogging.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

coding, and I am able to see that line and operate differently depending on

Programmer is largely about how to find the right kind of job for you, what to
look for in tech companies, and how to manage the direction of your career.

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I consider myself an imaginative person. When I was
little, I used to always play pretend with my friends, and I would always make
up the game because my friends liked when I did. I first got involved
with writing in 6th grade. My teacher assigned the class a 4 page mystery
story to write, but when it came time to hand in our work, I had a 25 page
sci-fi story instead. That's when I knew I loved to write.</span></div>

it gets harder with the more characters involved. I have to make sure
each one has a background and each one is believable. Thankfully, the

<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Can you tell us a little about yourself
,your blog(s)/website(s),and your aspirations and your hobbies!!</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was born in a “dormitory town” called Reading, not
famous for much, apart from a huge Rock festival, and for the fact that Oscar
Wilde was sent to prison there and wrote “</span><span class="st" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Ballad of </span><em style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Reading
Gaol”. My family then moved to a farm in the country, in Sussex, not too far
from London. I was sent aged eight, to a boarding school, so I would spend long
periods away from my family. Imagine
having regular prison sentences, imposed upon you, as a child. At some of the
schools I attended, there were psychotic teachers and cruel nasty
children. I used to count the days when
I could be reunited with my family. I
became a recluse in the art room and painting was my salvation. I had a teacher
who encouraged me to paint and introduced me to various artists, including </span></em><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kandinsky</i><em style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">. I went
from austere harsh boarding schools to Art College, a very different
environment.</span></em><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">How you first got involved in with blogging/writing,
are you an imaginative person?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I moved to a remote village in Austria. It was not far
from Vienna, but a very oppressive and strange environment. I thought I should
try writing a book. I launched into it…nothing came of it. I do many creative
activities, painting as well as writing music. Writing lay dormant, put to one
side. Then later, living in Paris at this point in time, via an advert, I made
contact with a man called Alan Clark, who had a literary magazine called “Rat
Mort” (dead rat).</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I submitted four short
stories for this magazine, encouraged by Alan, I began to write more and more
short stories, and developed a style…I guess if I compare these stories to
earlier efforts at writing…there has been a huge development…I am sure my early
attempts were imaginative but raw. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I
have always been a creative and imaginative person. I</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">went to Art College, but I have always done
different creative things, like writing music, making videos…</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">What do you find most challenging about blogging/writing
about your topic?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I think with writing, especially as
I write short stories, it is important have really powerful first sentences, as
well as finishing strongly.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Tell me about some of the people you have
met while working on your blog?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Since I have been promoting my book
(Flight of Destiny) I have met some fellow writers.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">How would (someone) describe your blogging/writing
style?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I have been compared to Edgar Alan
Poe.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I am very much influenced by</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Roald Dahl’s short stories and I try always
to put an unexpected twist, at the end of each story.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">What do you do when you are not working on
your blog?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I am a teacher, I teach different
students,</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">some are architecture
students. I teach both British and American culture.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Where do you see
yourself blogging/writing wise in the next 6 months, and 5 years down the road?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">My aim is to have follow up books published.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What networking do
you do that you feel helps your blogging/writing business?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I do Goodreads, facebook, Twitter, as well as other
social networking sites.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I have posted
videos on youtube,</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">my page is called
Flight of Destiny.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How do you keep
coming up with material/content for your blog? Many people struggle with coming
up with different articles/posts and they only have one blog.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I think about things from different angles. I do an
author to author interview exchange.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whats your
strategy with your blog in general?</span></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Any specific tips
you have for newbie bloggers who want to make it in the blogosphere?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">To look for likeminded people so you can grow

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What would you
prioritize? Content? SEO? Traffic? Readers?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I suppose a mix of all three.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whats the best
thing a blogger can give to his readers?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Interesting information and updates.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A lot of people
are interested in blogging/writing for the money earning potential. What are
some tips for people interesting in making money from blogging/writing? What
are some realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">My hope is that if I work hard enough,</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I will sell more copies of my book.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Maybe I need a lucky break…Somehow a Tim
Burton type, chances on my book, and decides to make into his next film.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I can but imagine.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What motivates

people, make them think, to inspire others…many things…</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What has been
your strategy for creating visibility to yourself and your blog?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">To post…post..post…and to search for as many opening

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Name some of the
bloggers whom you look up to and why?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I am more thankful to anybody who has given me an
opportunity to do an author spotlight or do an interview…it is hard to name
names…</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What is the story
behind the name of the blog?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">It is the same as the name of my book…Flight of
Destiny…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I would like to think “no” but the reality is
different, most people like or not are stung and hurt by criticism.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Do you plan to
write a book, as every bloggers dream it is?</span></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

judgmental person, do you prefer to take sides instead of standing neutral?</span></b><br />

often have to present both sides of an argument.</span><br />

surroundings…you might like this book.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">People who wear black, who are “Goths” who like Edgar Alan Poe…you might
like this…People who hate hunting…have issues with the establishment…abhor the
British class system…this will be a book for you…I don’t consider myself a
horror writer…but I certainly show the cruelty of mankind…and the depths they
can sink to…There are also 22 illustrations that go with the stories…</span><br />

How you first got involved in with blogging/writing, are you an imaginative

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Imaginative is all I am. My mind is always restless,
constantly buzzing with thoughts. I mostly live in a parallel universe, completely
zoned out from my reality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Writing for me has been a need, more than a hobby or a
profession. I just have to write, be it to vent, express, soothe my soul, talk
to myself or organize my thoughts. It is much later that I started writing for
others and took it up professionally. Somewhere in 2005, I got really sick of
my job as an optometrist. I took up a few academic writing assignments on the
side for the heck of it, thinking I’d make some extra money out of them.
Fortunately, that worked out for me and I dumped that soul-sucking job and took
to writing full time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

most us work in isolation. I have found LinkedIn very useful in this regard.
Not only can writers find credible job postings, there are also several groups
where they can share and discuss issues related to the profession. I have
recently become more active on Twitter as it is a great medium to interact with
readers and promote your work. And it is a hell lot of fun :P.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

name is Sapan Saxena and I am a Software Engineer who graduated from MNNIT
Allahabad in 2008. I took up to writing blogs on behest of my father, who felt
I should share whatever I learn with others. I write blogs on Ancient Indian
history and mythology, and some of them got published in leading news websites
like Times of India and Hindustan Times. When some of my blog followers
prompted me to write a book, I took up writing one and the product is now
available for all to read.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

How you first got involved in with blogging/writing, are you an imaginative
person?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In
my art classes, I would always draw the best possible idea as the worst
possible outcome. And a similar case for my handwriting. So, yeah, I think I am
a creative and imaginative person. An idea initially stuck me and then I
started building a story around it, and that’s how I started writing “Finders,
Keepers”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What do you find most challenging about blogging/writing about your topic?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The
biggest challenge I faced was that in the topic of Indology, there is a very
thin line between an interesting revelation and becoming preachy. History is
not what many people easily get interested in. People are interested in
mythology, but then the moment it gets boring, people switch off your blog. So,
the challenge comes in keeping it crisp when doing blogs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When
doing novels, the story has to be powerful; otherwise it will all fall apart

Tell me about some of the people you have met while working on your blog?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A
lot of my research was online as well as offline. And as it mostly concerned
Hindu mythology and ancient Indian history, I often visited online portal Hindu
Dharma Forums. In there, you find guys who have spent years learning and
practicing about various sects of Hinduism. It’s always a great learning
experience to interact with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Offline
I mostly visited heritage sites and mostly interacted with guides to squeeze
out as much as I could. They pretty much speak some recorded stuff, but the
information they gave was really helpful as they do incorporate local tales and
stories related to some legend<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">People
say my writing style is descriptive. Though they claim I am able to hold the
attention of the reader till the very end. Though I aim to trust the
intelligence of the reader, there are pieces which need detailed description.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What do you do when you are not working on your novel?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Well,
I am a Software Engineer by profession, so when I am not busy creating a fictional
world out of my imagination, I am usually creating a JAVA program to run on a
virtual environment on my laptop<o:p></o:p></span></div>

.Where do you see yourself blogging/writing wise in the next 6 months, and 5
years down the road?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After
3 years of blogging and months into publication of first novel “Finders,
Keepers”, I can now safely assume that writing is an addiction. And even a
single appreciation coming your way gives you a high no drug can emulate. So,
in the next 6 months, I think I will be writing more blogs and working on
future ideas for novel. 5 years down the road, I would want to explore more of
Hinduism and Indian history touching subjects which others have either missed
or dared not to ponder, as I think before writing such subjects, I would need
to have more acceptances among readers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What networking do you do that you feel helps your writing business?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I
think that’s one area where I have had a huge unplanned investment, and that of
course, has helped me a lot. I was a lot into social media even when I had not
penned my first blog. This helped me discover friends from other cities and
colleges and companies. Eventually as we shared and joined similar pages
suggested mutually, the friend circle grew even further. I also made it a point to keep in touch with
wherever I worked. During last elections, I also joined a non-political group
to spread awareness about benefits of voting. So, this online and offline
networking has helped me maintain a huge plethora of friends from diverse
backgrounds, locations, regions and interests. They help me in spreading my
content, and that eventually helps a lot<o:p></o:p></span></div>

take an example, say Ramayana. How many articles have been written around

Whats your strategy with your novel in general?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I
would first think of an idea, that people may be interested in. I may even
think of more than one idea, and combine them, or analyze them independently.
Once I am confident about the idea, I start building a story around the same.
The themes which I am comfortable in do not have much scope for romance or
drama, and I consider myself good at building puzzles, suspense/thriller is the
theme I choose for building the story. Only when I am convinced about the
story, do I start penning it down<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Any specific tips you have for newbie bloggers who want to make it in the
blogosphere?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Of
course! Anyone who is reading this and is planning to start a blog, please do
it now! Keep it private, if you are not too comfortable with it, but do keep on
penning your thoughts. Tomorrow you may have to search for these thoughts and
there would be a place where you can always find it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">For
newbie bloggers, I think networking is very important. There is a huge audience
who is waiting for good content to be told and written about and if none of
your friends form a subset of that audience, networking with other bloggers,
visiting blogging sites, forums like Indiblogger, Facebook pages could be a
good way to start. Eventually, you have to identify and reach out to that community,
and mark your presence there with good content and networking<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What would you prioritize? Content? SEO? Traffic? Readers?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I
think that’s a very good question and thanks for asking the same. For me, the
aim was to increase reader base/subscribers. So, of course, I needed to strike
out a balance among all the parameters. I started out with prioritizing Traffic
and SEO much more and focused solely on page views. Because, I knew if 1000
people would visit the blog, only 2 may stay back, and to build a base of 2000,
I had to reach out to 1000000 different people. But, as eventually the dust
settled down, and I had a regular audience, I started prioritizing the content
and readers more and now don’t focus much on SEO tools and page views. The
tools brought them here, but what made them stay is the content and the feedback
of readers helps me build my content better<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Whats the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A
good quality post! I mean readers are the real motivation behind a blogger, right?
Unless, of course, he wants to manage it as a private diary. So, definitely,
the blogger shouldn’t compromise on the content and try not to please the
readers. Your content was the reason they came in first place<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A lot of people are interested in writing for the money earning potential. What
are some tips for people interesting in making money from writing? What are
some realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">If
you are trying to take up writing as a full time job, go ahead! You are trying
to attempt one of the most respect jobs of all times. However, the core reality
of Indian literary circle is that no matter how much Chetan Bhagat or Shobha De
get offered for writing columns in national newspapers or the rights for their
next novels, these are merely a handful of names. Writing industry is still not
a huge money raker jobs for Indian authors. In fact, for a new writer, to get
his first novel published, he may have to wait for as much as 2-3 years(and I
am not exaggerating), or would have to turn towards self- publishing which
involves a lot of extra baggage in the form of marketing, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So,
I would suggest, you keep writing and trying to earn no matter where you get
the opportunity from. Be it some sports magazine, or local newspaper, or e-magazines,
etc. You may also choose to write on subjects on which people may be highly
interesting in, like stock market etc. which can help you earn through ads, but
again, the content should be unique and original, the images unused.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What motivates you most in life?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My
family is the biggest motivation in my life. My parents never did force me into
any stream or any choice of career, and I made all the decisions myself. That
kind of helped a lot. My wife is now the biggest motivation of my life. The
amount of effort she puts in to help me create content, spread information
about my blogs and novel through her network, and her continuous motivation
when things don’t seem to work, is really splendid. My brother and
brother-in-law have also helped a lot in getting a substantial audience for my
book Finders, Keepers and that kind of always motivates me to keep moving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My
social media network has by far been my biggest strength. But apart from the
people, I make sure I make good use of all possible tools like Youtube, Quora,
Pintrest, Reddit, StumbleIpon, Speaking Tree, Indiblogger, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Not
only these tools help me create and share content of varying conventions and
attributes, they help me share some good original content as well. The content
you create should be engaging enough and that’s one key feature to visibility<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Well,
by all measures, I have written “Finders, Keepers” on a pretty controversial
topic, haven’t I? I mean writing on religion is like walking on a razor’s edge.
A slip on either side and you would not even know which side did you offense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I
have tried to keep the tone of the novel positive throughout. However, as I
said, no one knows which side this could end up offending<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Well,
Nimi Vashi, certainly. The way she has revolutionized book promotion/review
circle is amazing, and people now know where to find the good books. And of
course you, Rahul! I mean here you are doing a fine act of promoting authors,
managing and maintaining your blog, your wonderful site and are doing a great
job of balancing! I definitely got to learn a trick or two from you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My
friend Dev Ashish is another such blogger who creates very unique and distinct
content.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Among
Indian writers, I look up to Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi a lot as they

What is the story behind the name of the novel?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Well,
The title is basically an adage, “Finders, Keepers”. It means if anybody finds
something, he can keep it. It’s also a famous game played by children. The
story of my novel also kind of follows a similar path, where people are on
lookout for hidden things. Further, “Keeper” is a term in my book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Yeah,
I am a regular with Indiblogger, though not much familiar with Writeupcafe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I
think Indiblogger is a great platform to bring bloggers together on a common
portal. There are regular discussions and threads which help you improve your
blog and streamline your thoughts. There are topics under which you can place
your blog, which again helps you identify what content you may be interested
in. The regular events and competitions also help people improve visibility
among others. Overall, it’s been a great experience<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Which one plug-in would you suggest all bloggers to have?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Twitter,
Google Plus and FB share plugins. These are handy and should be located at the
right place. I mean a reader may not always copy the URL from his browser and
then copy at FB or Google Plus and then care to limit it to 140 characters for
Twitter. He may just close your blog and move ahead, and you may lose precious potential
readers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">FB/Twitter/Google
Plus plugins customize it for you. In fact, try to add all social media plugins

What book would you say has made the biggest impact good or bad on you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Well,
now that I have read most of the major Hindu scriptures to research for
“Finders, Keepers”, Ram Charit Manas and Shiva Purana did make the biggest
impact on me. Not only because they kind of form a subplot for my novel, but
also because for the first time I looked into what was in the mind of the
writer. If Ram Charit Manas was simply a re-telling of Ramayana, Tulsidas would
have simply done it that way. Why are there differences between the two, what
did Tulsidas want to tell us? Why does it start with the marriage of Shiva?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Do you get easily provoked by positive/negative comments??<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Positive
comments always get you high, and I see no wrong in it. Just that we should not
lose our head and scream. Also, we should be ready to gracefully accept
negative comments and work upon the weak areas. Initially I got affected by
negative comments as well, but now I see them as suggestions people are trying
to make to help me better my work and book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Are you a judgmental person, do you prefer to take sides instead of standing

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It’s
very tough to be always neutral. So, I do take sides instead of standing
neutral, but that mostly depends on the situation and the topic. Like, I go out
and vote for a party, so no point being neutral there. But, if someone is in a
conflict of whether Greek mythology is as diverse as Hindu mythology, I prefer
to stay neutral.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Your collaboration with other bloggers, are you much into social networking,
tell us everything about it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So,
as I said earlier, there is a huge audience out there for every genre that
wants to read your work. It’s just the matter of connecting with them and
telling them your work has all the ingredients they were searching for. So, of
course collaboration is important and networking is very important.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As
far as books are concerned, the authors from your network will help you get
your work promoted. I mean they are people with certain number of followers and
fans. Their word for your book will always be counted as a huge plus and that’s
the best way you can promote your book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I
have spent a lot of years in a good deal of social networking, and believe me,
there are friends who I have never met or spoken to, but they have helped me
out like anything to get my work published. I think that counts a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What genre attracts you the most and which genre you avoid?<br />
I am generally more inclined towards fictional writing than any other genre of

“mainstream” genres like romance or love stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Your Views on Contests and increasing plagiarism?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I
think contests are important. They help you increase visibility about the book.
See, this is not the age and time when a writer writes something good and once
a publisher picks it up, he sits back and relaxes that marketing and promotion
is publisher’s job. No, you have to do a major part of the job, and contests,
reviews are a major part of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Plagiarism
in any form is harmful as it not only kills the hard-work done by someone; it
also kills the spirit of creativity. I mean someone has put in a lot of effort
to create some content, and you think you can have it for easy, that’s simply
wrong. We should have stricter laws and rules as creative writing is one field
where the lines of plagiarism blur down and it’s not easy to prove plagiarism.
We should also have much stricter author- reader community which may help us
identify such people and cases. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Can you tell us a little about yourself ,your
blog(s)/website(s), and your aspirations and your hobbies!!</span></span></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> I am a simple girl with complicated
dreams. I have a book published but I still don't call myself a writer. It
takes many books to realize for ourselves if we are the "Writer" that
the word actually means; so I have a few more to go before I call myself one. I
love to make short films and videos as a hobby. Two of my short films have won
awards at WE CARE international film festival. I work as a software engineer
and I love my job.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> My dream to become a writer began
with the hobby of writing articles to newspapers. When those articles were
published in various newspapers like The Hindu, Deccan Chronicle and the like I
gained a lot of confidence. I created a blog to archive the rejected articles.
That's how it all started. Now, I am running towards my dream of becoming a
chief guest at my (when I have one) kid's school function (To be worthy of it).</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">That's
pretty much about me.</span><br />

How you first got to know that your content had been copied or plagiarized.</span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> I won't say copied or </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">plagiarized</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> because I am really confused with those words. According to my understanding
reading something and then intentionally using it without giving credits is
plagiarism; be it the plot or even as small as a character sketch. Plagiarism,
according to me, is not just something that is related to words but something
that's majorly related to the "INTENTION".</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">When this book was a manuscript,
I had sent the first few chapters to Grapevine on 15th January, 2013, as a part
of my proposal. On 4th March 2013 I received a reply from Nikita Singh, Editor
Grapevine saying that the editors enjoyed reading my manuscript and they would
like to take a look at the entire manuscript before making a final decision.</span><br />

I was still waiting for their reply, I met with another publisher, Tales4
Publication, and they were ready to publish the book in a traditional way,
without getting a single rupee from me. So I thought it would be right to check
with Grapevine and keep them informed about the other publisher. I mailed them
asking for an update. In reply to that, I got a rejection mail from a different
editor, below is the screenshot of the rejection mail. I am a sport and it's
okay to get rejected.</span><br />

her Facebook page promoting her book. Below is the poster I am
referring to. The synopsis of the book was a lot similar to my book. I got a
little doubtful and sent a mail both to you and Grapevine to receive nothing in
response. The mail was sent with the subject, 'Doubt of plagiarism' and yet
both the publishers ignored my mails. I did not mention such a doubt anywhere
in social media respecting the publisher and writer. I didn't want to jump to
conclusions before I checked it.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> I,
calmly, waited till the book titled 'Right here, right now' got published. A
lot of blogger friends told me how so much similar the two stories are. I read
the book myself and was shocked. The plot, the narrator chosen to narrate, the
theme and mood of the story and most importantly first chapter, including the
tiny details in it were just like my book.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> For
instance, in my book I have spoken about the beeping sound, ECG to the
"right". The same details are in the epilogue and the beginning
of the first chapter of the other book. I have also attached a screenshot of a
reviewer's comment about both the books.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> The
point I am trying to make is that she has read my manuscript, which is clear
from the mail she has sent. After a few days she publishes a book with a very
similar plot. How often do two people, who write a story with an amnesiac
protagonist, start with the same hospital scene. Okay, let's say this is
common. But how often do they write about just the same details in almost the
same style? Considering that she has read my manuscript already, how far can we
consider this coincidental?</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> We
budding writers actually research the market to understand what sells and what doesn't.
We spend years in coming up with a plot that's not much touched upon by the Indian
market. We take years in finding a publisher. If it was rejected I won't flare
up and falsely blame. I am a sport I can assure you that. But when we send to
the publisher and the writer, who is also the editor there, sends a mail asking
for full manuscript, then the next book she writes is of the same concept are
we not supposed to question? If it was the same concept I won't call it a act
to be questioned. The first chapter clearly reveals the </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i>intention</i></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">. I am against
that intention. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> Also the
publishers (Both penguin and mainly grapevine) did not take this seriously when
I had mailed. They might say that they receive 100 such mails about being
plagiarised. But I am sure they get 10 times more number of manuscripts a day.
It's their duty to protect those 1000 writer's who send their manuscripts with
trust by replying to the 100 mails about plagiarism.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> With
what trust will we send the manuscripts to them? I might not be a famous
writer, maybe I won't even turn into one, let's say. What if a highly potential
person sends a concept that's not like anything in the Indian market in the
recent times and what if that ends up like this?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> Also,
what if Nikita's book had the same story as mine? The publishers did not even
check it when I had mailed. If they had now they would have confidently said it
is not plagiarism. If that was the case her book would have got published and
even if I file a case I won't be able to publish my work. (Thank God! It was
already published.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> My
question here is, if I am an editor of a reputed publishing house I get to read
manuscripts of budding writers every day. Am I allowed to pick the concept I
like the most, reject it and then write a book with the same plot but a story
of my style? Will this not question the way we need to feel protected in
sending manuscripts to publishers?</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> Another
question I have is, if a not-so-famous writer has a concern of plagiarism which
involves a famous writer, will it not be taken seriously by the publishers? My
mail was not replied to.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> If
this is the case, editors are free to reject good concepts and make use of it
quickly in their book. They will obviously get it published before the
struggling writer approaches another publisher, in my case it was luckily
quick. So, this will make the editor have an edge over the writer to get
appreciated for the concept. The pain for the other writer doesn't stop there,
when she/he publishes the original work, people will say it's similar to the
famous author's book. How are we, writers, protected today?</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> I am not saying the entire story of Right here, right now
was lifted from my book. All I am saying is I am against the intention.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">3.
What did you do about it?</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> After receiving no response from the
publishers, I posted it on facebook but did not get an support at that time. I
thought I won't be able to fight against big names and people won't actually try
to understand what I am trying to say, so left it there.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> On 11th February, I was tagged in
twitter to promote her book, the same one I am complaining about and I got
really annoyed. I felt humiliated. But keeping quiet about this was even more
humiliating. I thought I should voice about it with all the proofs on social
media though I assumed no one will relate to what I am talking about; THE
INTENTION though the stories are different. To my surprise, people understood
it very well, a lot of them supported me including your site which came forward
to give me a chance to voice it here.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> Penguin then tweeted asking me for
all the proofs and the details to be mailed. I have mailed it to them. I hope
they will do justice being such a reputed publisher.</span><br />
<b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">4. What is the proof of the accusation ?</span></span></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I
have attached all the proofs in my previous replies. The first chapter being
very similar and the plot being same, considering her reply confirming that she
has read my manuscript and the timing of the book being published a few months right after the reply from her
makes it more intentional than coincidental.</span><br />
<b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5.
Did you try contacting Nikita Singh Directly over email or twitter or
facebook.?</span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> I thought it was not professional to
directly mail her asking if she had done. So I just mailed the publishers and
waited enough assuming someone would take action for me until I understood that
if someone would talk for me it would be ME. I tweeted two days back asking
where she got the concept from and if she remembers reading my manuscript.
That's where everything started. She is yet to respond.</span><br />
<b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6.
Why don't you plan to send a legal notice , that must not be a problem ?</span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> Penguin has replied to my mail, NOW,
saying that they will look into this and get back. I will wait to know what
they decide before I decide what I need to do.</span><br />
<b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">7.
Did you try contacting other publishing agencies and sellers like flipkart etc
?</span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> No. I don't think contacting
Flipkart will solve the issue. Also, when people involved don't take it
seriously, like Grapevine and Penguin, how will others take it seriously.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">9.
What do you want if they agree that the accusation is actually correct ?</span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> Right now I got what I wanted. As I
have already said in social media they should not easily do this and take
struggling writers for granted. I wanted them to understand that we struggling
writers won't let it go easily without being a pain by voicing it, out of fear.
I think I have made that very clear to them.</span><br />
<b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">10.
Do you feel demotivated that its been done to you or are you motivated enough</span></span></i></b><br />
<b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">to
fight for justice ?</span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> I am not demotivated as my book got
published before hers and mine has a different story. Also the reviews I have
got so far are very encouraging an positive.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> I feel stronger after the kind of
response I got from people in social media. I was happy that people understood
what I pointed out as a mistake from their side; THE INTENTION.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span><b style="color: #222222; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">11.
What do you have to say if some one calls it fake publicity?</span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> If all I wanted was publicity I
would have planned and executed this a long time ago. I never had this in mind.
Opening up was not planned. It was a sudden outburst seeing someone tagging me
to promote that book. Also, if you still think it's all for publicity all I can
say is everything stated above are facts and I don't fear being called names
for raising my voice for my right and fellow writers' rights.</span></div>

it's about a 17 year old girl. So when she was a kid, it would have been a year
in 90s when Digital cameras were not there. So it is natural for anyone to say
that the amnesiac was showed a physical photograph. Why a laptop? I had written
laptop because that scene occurred so to me and also it was about the recent
photographs. In her defense, she can say it was all digitized form of physical
photographs. But why a laptop? It could have been a tablet or a phone. The only
conclusion I can come to, with this point also, is that it's taken from my
manuscript.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

Nikita asking for full manuscript on 4th, March, 2013. I sent the manuscript
immediately as I had it ready. As writers we tend to make use of the date we
start the book, we don't write a date too much in future. So, my point is that
she has started writing her book after she received my full manuscript. This
makes the intention clear to me.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
