All it took was two men adept at black magic and one lusty woman to destroy the family.

Peace and tranquility when writing. Thoughts about your own characters when trying to sleep.

The plot pushes me to write, and sometimes I create an ambience for a scene using music.

I have written only one fiction book and, indeed, only one book that is for public consumption. And, the source of the book is best left unsaid.

A book on black magic, lust, love and an unlikely hero.

I never get the writer's block. Frankly, I have very little time to write fiction as I have a lot of other writing to do to bring home the bread and butter. So when I sit down to write fiction, I am brimming with ideas and can't wait to get them on paper. Fiction writing is a privilege - a lot of things have to fall in place, you need to have the creative ideas/plots, the language to express, the time, accommodating life circumstances. And after all this, if one claims, writer's block, that's a bit rich.

This might seem like stating the bleedingly obvious, but the best advice I have received or I can offer is "write - right now". In my other life, I meet people who want to do a PhD, and years later they still want to. You can't do a PhD unless you enrol, take your exams, and start writing the dissertation. Writing a book is also similar, you won't write unless you write. In my book, "intending to write" means nothing. I intended to write my first fiction book 18 years ago, and wrote around 15% of it 6 years ago. It took COVID lockdown to get me to actually write it.
