Today I came across this interesting post by a Professional Blogger/author and I could easily relate to.
Here are my views:
Here are my views:
BEFORE | AFTER |
I am against social networking sites. It’s nothing but own
publicity. I will never post anything over there. |
Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Plus+, Tumblr, Instagram, Vine, Meetup,
Flickr…is there any other networking sites through which I could promote my
book? |
Just 50,000 words. Give me a day. I can finish it. |
Get
writer's block and mind get struck at 10th word. (Your mind voice- "This
scene seems to be similar to my earlier novel. This reflects my old
post") |
English - I am very good at. |
Active
Voice? Preposition? Homophones, weak words, pronouns, verbiage? Please give
me a break. Did I really graduate from Convent school? |
Writing a novel is tough, whereas publishing is easy |
Writing
a novel is easy, publishing is tough |
Penguin India, Rupa & Co, HarperCollins India, Random House
India. I am aware only about top 10 publishing house in India. |
I
knew a Publishing house and its guidelines that is even in Appuchi Kadai
kuruku santhu (meaning: Small street too) |
On looking at a book, the eyes roll over the title, author name,
book blurb, book cover..etc.
Publisher? Why the hell I should care? |
Turn
the book ignoring all titles, authors and scan the Publisher first. Then
google about the publisher, learn about their submission guidelines and in
few days, the manuscript will be in that publishing house. |
Debut author? So what, when it comes to market it’s a novel. The
quality has to be impressive and creative. |
Debut
author know. Give her chance yaar. She will definitely improve in her
upcoming. Go Read the first novels of William Shakespeare, Jackie
Collins, J. K. Rowling, Leo
Tolstoy |
Romance, love making scene. Oh no, I am against it. My novel is a family oriented script. 4 letter word? How could I use that? |
Publisher
must be right. Just one page in 263 page novel na, nothing will happen if I
include romance scenes. |
Great Deepika ......a lot changes in after & before ............ Super likes
