… I haven’t decided what’s better yet. But still we could just talk about something other than New Year and resolutions and irresolution…. Everyone seems to be heavily thinking about what to do, what not to do, what to do never, and what they’d plan and never do. And the blog posts are so intent on talking about the same. So many blogs have got new readers just because of their realistic views about resolutions which will naturally be humorous. And the added humor sense of the writer and the reader makes it all a brand new funny new year! So why not just slowly drop it now? The new year is already 4 days old.
So, I wasn’t planning a blog post today, but I just want to share a link. My first author interview is published on a blog. Just take a look at it and tell me what you think.
I know a lot of it is downright silly – but the whole thing is just me. Silly or not, I am an author! And one particular thing that might nauseate you is mentioning Cecelia Ahern’s P.S. I Love You. To me, reading it was like an emotional treadmill. I have to confess that I couldn’t read two chapters at a go and it took me two weeks to read that book! (My book reading rate is three books a week when I wasn’t this much a writer). I would get emo in between and have to get over it before continuing it. And I had to hide the tears from my roommates. (I live in a hostel). May be I’m an oversensitive fool. Or may be she is a good author. It’s not always that a book can make you smile and cry and both at the same time throughout the book. And that too when it’s very sad. I loved the book, no crap. But what was more inspiring was that the author was only 21 at the time of publishing that book. That is younger than the now-me. That was when I came to believe that I could do it, too.
So you get the reason. All you have to do is ask me!
Anyway, the interview is here:
Sana Rose: Author on Focus for The Torrent from My Soul.
And they have missed something. The thing being my book’s cover picture.
Trust me, I know this is too drab a cover for a debut poetry book with such an elegant title and all. But God knows it’s different! Anyway, it’s one of the reasons I am looking out to republish this book, apart from the huge cost of the imported editions of books in India. So let’s see how it pays off.
Meanwhile, it’s too late here and I have been very lazy to make it to the clinics in the past two days, I would better go now. Though I know 200% certainly that I am interested in sleeping in tomorrow morning, too. Sigh…
But let’s see. The mosquitoes are eating me up. And it’s past midnight. They might as well be some vampires. Yuck! I just thrashed out and crushed a mosquito on my arm. And gallons of blood… ugh! Bloody suckers – they are probably the most optimistic creatures I will ever meet.
