Life is a precious little gift offered by the providence and I cannot envision doing anything else with that apart from writing.

I'm working on another book about the notion that circumstances can shape a man or break a man. It is a vicious circle as thoughts and actions decide one's circumstances and vice versa. I am writing about two persons who had equal fair chances at life and how because of their own actions end up at two conflicting places in life.

For the fear of reiterating what other authors had said Writing is nothing short of telepathy. Through your writing, you take a reader to your world. In order to do that you have to be a keen observant. You got to know the difference between the church and chapel, grey and light grey, guilt and remorse. So, naturally, you learn to observe everything and everyone around you with a new set of eyes. With the new set of eyes comes a mature, compassionate attitude towards your surrounding. This new attitude, I would say, is the best thing about being a writer.

Over time, I've learned that discipline is a vital factor in dealing with writer's block. No matter how talented you are, without discipline, you will get nowhere with your craft. Although writing is a creative indulgence, without discipline one will never be able to complete a book.
So even when I had writer's block, I put my pen on paper every day. Yes, I was not happy with what I was writing but I continued to write and after a few hours, my creative alter ego took pity on me and agreed to work with me. So, keep writing for hours or days if needed until you and your creative-self become amiable.
