A few months ago, a close friend had said this about me: “Give her any prompt and she dives right into it; writing in full flow.” At the time I had simply laughed and brushed it off. But her words came to mind yesterday after I completed the first assignment at the Interactive Flash Fiction … Continue reading Of Rains and Rainbows: Solicit your feedback

So, Camp NaNoWriMo started yesterday and as promised to myself I jumped headlong into it. I've started working on a novel; and even though the plot seemed sketchy, I still took the plunge. I did worry about not having enough length and scenes in the storyline to qualify it as a novel. I am finally working … Continue reading Gifts from Camp NaNoWriMo
I recently read somewhere that if you are extremely passionate about something, then that thing is probably ‘your calling’. How many times has it happened that we really care about something deeply, only to not pursue it seriously? I know it happens to me frequently enough.
