Utkarsh Pandey Again the answer is patience... Do not fight with block... Give it some time... Story will find its way out itself :)
Utkarsh Pandey The feeling that you belong to that 1% of fraternity who have a book at their name... The book may be applauded or panned...but nobody can take this feeling away from you.
Utkarsh Pandey Focus and Patience.... Many of us (I did too), would deviate from the original task and start spending energy on secondary task (editing, publishing, cover, profit margins etc)... While I agree these may be important, but most important task is to complete the book. First finish that and then focus on other tasks.

A technical suggestion, take regular back ups of work... I had written close to 80 pages and my laptop crashed... It was demotivating.. Took me 6 months to restart :)
Utkarsh Pandey I am working on Sequel to Manthan.... Plus I have an idea of a stand alone book in a different genre and an entire series altogether
Utkarsh Pandey The inspiration comes from within... Since childhood, I had been reading lots of books...But i found the genre exciting after reading Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.... It took some time for the idea to seed up inside, but when it did, it was just a matter of time :)
Utkarsh Pandey I am myself a fan of mythological stories... I had been reading about Kaliyug and other tell tales for a long time....But it all started with a funny discussion in office that if Kalki comes on Earth, how would he eventually bring end to Kaliyug... This is where the canvas was laid.
