When I was seven, I decided I wanted to be an artist and a writer. I thought it would be an excellent way of finding out more about the world. It has since been a fine journey in staying balanced, making connections, and continually learning something new. I'm very happy to have such a creatively rewarding and fulfilling occupation.

I write children's books, YA books, NA books, graphic novels, and romance books, and I have a Sunday comic-strip 'The Smartist'; if you haven't seen it yet, you should. I'm deeply interested in art, boo

So, ahem, be warned. Don't ask me such questions.

Seriously, I do two other things. I milk the situation by writing about it - http://www.maysuninc.com/articles/wri... – and I work on several projects simultaneously. So if I get stuck on one, I leave it for the moment and move on to another.

Finishing another thing generally gives me the energy and enthusiasm to return to work more effectively on the previous one. Unless, of course, it's a complete dud that needs to be abandoned for the continuing good of humankind.(less)

Sonal’s Recent Updates

Sonal Panse liked a quote
“There are three gates leading to the hell of self-destruction for the soul—lust, anger, and greed. Therefore, one should abandon all three.”
Bhagavad Gita
Sonal Panse liked a quote
“My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the value of life. They lead not to higher planets, but to infamy. O son of Prtha, do not yield to this degrading impotence, that it does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy.”
Bhagavad Gita
Sonal Panse liked a quote
“Winter, summer, happiness, and pain; Giving, appearing, disappearing; Non-permanent, all of them; Just try to tolerate.”

“An uneventful, quiet life together is more my idea of a romance.”

“Really? Oh. Well. It won't get you featured in any of the ballads though.”

“Yes,” he said, with a heavy sigh. “And that will be the great tragedy of my romance.”
Sonal Panse, The Sunshine Time: Season 1 Episode 2

“Who’s it?” said Conor Larkin, appearing in the adjoining balcony, followed by Ricky and Jason.

“The Turtle from the Train Station,” said Guy.

Right, I thought, that’s the impression I made. He remembers me as an honorary member of the reptile family.”
Sonal Panse, The Sunshine Time: Season 1 Episode 7

“If you think it's charming to be overbearing,” I said.

“I do, I do!” she said. “I adore strong alpha males and he's the only one that's ever managed to make me feel weak and womanly.” She grinned at my expression. “Want a word of advice?” she said. “Study him. Seriously. Characters like him drive half the romance market.”

“I would not sit waiting for some vague tomorrow, nor for something to happen. One could wait a lifetime, and find nothing at the end of the waiting. I would begin here, I would make something happen.”
Louis L'Amour, Sackett's Land

“I am somebody. I am me. And I don't need anybody to make me somebody.”
Louis L'Amour

“No one could have called Mr. Standen quick-witted, but the possession of three sisters had considerably sharpened his instinct of self-preservation.”
Georgette Heyer, Cotillion

“Do you forget that I am your sister?”
“No; I’ve never been granted the opportunity to forget it.”
Georgette Heyer, Frederica

“[...]my memory is reasonably good—unlike yours, dear sir!”
“Mine is erratic,” he said imperturbably. “I remember only what interests me.”

Sonal Panse Hi Nandakishore,

Nice to meet you. I've just been browsing through your bookshelves. You seem to read a lot on the Third Reich. Two writer recommendations if you haven't already read them - Victor Klemperer and Hans Fallada.

Best,

Sonal


Nandakishore Mridula Thanks for accepting my request. :)
