Writing, I believe, is something much more than a hobby. It's, how shall I put it, a calling? No.. more than that. It's a compulsion. Yes, that's what. A writer cannot not write, you see. But then it should be okay if no one read what was written? It shouldn't matter if one's book was not published, not read, not flying off the shelves, not in its second and third print, not being dissected by the critics. Hah! Now here's the catch! Most writers are not content with merely filling their diary pages. Having put bits and pieces of their souls on the paper, most writers do seek acceptance, resonance, approval, validation and endorsement.
And this journey, from writing one’s first page to reading one’s millionth review, is a long one. An excruciatingly tough one, too. What better than to traverse this path in the company of other fellow writers? What better than to have the comforting thought that one is not alone? What better than to have a safety net below you and a shield in front of you made of hands joined together? What better than to get through this journey with smiles and chuckles?
And what better than to have all of the above and more for true and not just a dream or a fantasy! The New Indian Authors Club is all this and much more than all this – #NIACLUB is a platform where new and aspiring authors are ushered with open arms. In this clan of authors, mutual goodwill and support reign supreme, with each helping the other to grow some more every day. It is a place of positivity, a spot of sustenance. It is what I call in my ecological jargon, a water hole where members of the author species congregate!
Each of us here at the NIACLUB has different skills, different viewpoints, and different experiences. From mischief and comedy to philosophy and realist literature, from beta reading to video trailers, from practical queries to whimsical quotes, from interviews to reviews – members of the NIACLUB cover quite the gamut. So different we are from each other, but what holds us together is this thought that
Together, we can grow!
Together, we can make a difference!
So let’s join hands, all you indie authors out there! Let’s join hands so we can change our worlds with what we write, and do it more easily than done alone!
