How to write a novel in 30 days!

Written By: Aniesha Brahma 

When I was six years old I was convinced the only thing I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a writer. And as I grew up, I tried and failed to finish whatever writing project I started. In my late teens I realized the importance of being disciplined no matter what job you decide to pursue. And even though I learned to be disciplined I never tapped into the art of finishing a novel.

Written By: Anayat Sekhon

You’ve resolved to complete that dreadful writing assignment; to answer a humdrum prompt; to write the Great Indian Novel; or to coax a classic out of a mind dulled by the soporific ramblings of the rabble. Armed with renewed gusto and ambition, you’ve gone to great lengths to make sure that your working environment reflects the grandiose pursuit of perfection your insides ache to embark on.

7 Steps to Writing Anything

Written By: Sukanya K Samy

Contrary to what people say, writing skills can be developed and honed. All you need is passion to express yourself in words. I was always a reader, voraciously read what I could get my hands on. And that is how my love for words emerged. I then started participating in essays and debates in school and slowly and steadily learnt to express myself clearly through writing.

I learnt that I write because I want to leave an impression and that I am not too patient when it comes to writing but very patient as a person.  I know that I don’t like too much attention by making my blogs public but I am slowly forcing myself to write more in public. Writing for me, above all is a soul-searching exercise.
